ABSTRACT:
A belt with a cinching device including a torque ring surrounding a tightening strap. The torque ring loosely receives a free end of the strap, the opposite end being fastened to a retaining buckle. The free end of the strap may be pulled in a reverse direction against the retention forces of the torque ring, in contrast to conventional tensile forces being applied. This permits minimal movement of the strap in a reverse direction while being clamped in place or otherwise retained by cooperating elements of the buckle. The torque ring is further adapted to releasably, retain a buckle tongue member in clamping engagement with the strap to prevent accidental opening of the buckle.
