ABSTRACT:
A device for applying tension around an object such as a person's arm and leg comprises a tensioning member which has a first end portion which is connected to a rear end of a hollow basic member housing and includes a portion adapted to form an object encircling loop for engagement, for example around a person's arm and has a second opposite free end portion. The hollow basic member has a rear end wall with an entrance opening and a front end wall with an exit opening to facilitate passage of the free end portion of the tensioning member into the entrance opening through the hollow member and out the exit opening. The interior of the basic member includes a backup portion which has a backup surface over which the free end portion of the tensioning member is passed. A lever pressure member is pivotally mounted in the basic member and it overlies the free end portion of the tensioning member and is pivotable about a horizontal axis and includes a first arm portion which overlies the tensioning member and has an opening therethrough for the passage of the tensioning member as it exits through the exit opening of the basic member. The tensioning member bears against the first arm portion of the lever and the construction is such that the lever member holds the tensioning member after it has been applied around the object and tensioned on the backup surface. The lever member may be pivoted by engaging a release button portion of the first arm which extends through the exit opening and has an opening therethrough for the passage of the tensioning member thereover. The lifting of the button member frees the tensioning member so that it can be released from tensioning engagement.
