The web bar has a web engagement notch that is concave for enhancing locking of the webbing to the frame. The web bar has a frame guide slidably engaged to the frame. The frame defines a web opening in which the frame engagement ledge extends. The frame guide of the web bar includes a key guide foot. The frame has an orientation notch configured to receive the key guide foot of the web bar.

Disclosed is a ratchet strap and buckle assembly comprising an adjustment ratchet strap comprising a ratchet strap end, and a plurality of ratchet teeth arranged thereon and a single-piece buckle having a locking tooth and a flexible top element, wherein the single-piece buckle comprises a passageway for the ratchet strap end to be inserted therein, and wherein the flexible top element is configured to engage with at least one of the plurality of ratchet teeth using the locking tooth upon insertion.

An operation device includes a movable member that is movable within a predetermined range, and a restriction member that is disposed in a state of being movable in a movable direction of the movable member, that restricts the movable range of the movable member by coming into contact with a contact surface of the movable member in the movable direction, and that can be switched between a state of being in contact with a first range of the contact surface and restricting the movable range of the movable member and a state of being in contact with a second range, the second range being different from the first range, of the contact surface and restricting the movable range of the movable member.

Provided is a device having an improved structure that lowers the unit cost and failure rate of a product by reducing the number of components and improves the assemblability, consistency in quality, operational stability, and convenience of future servicing of the product. In the device, a shaft and a shaft coupling part of a winding drum are simply coupled without a separate coupling member as a protruding portion formed on the shaft becomes caught in a catching portion formed on the shaft coupling part.

A retention strap assembly for a buoyancy module in a riser system, the retention strap assembly comprising: an elongate strap member comprising connection points at opposite ends, the strap member configured to wrap around the buoyancy module; a buckle member comprising connection formations configured to receive the connection points of the strap member, wherein the buckle member further comprises a tensioner configured to tension the strap member, the buckle member being configured to tension and hold the strap member around the buoyancy module; and a plurality of attachment formations spaced along a length of the strap member, each attachment formation comprising an attachment point configured for attachment to auxiliary riser equipment. The connection points of the strap member may be provided by ends of the strap member being looped or folded over. The strap member may comprise at least two overlapping layers.

A clip adapted for use with an elongate strap for forming a tourniquet including first and second parts adapted to be connected to the strap, the first and second parts adapted to be releasably connected together to form a closed loop. The second part is adapted to movable along the strap and has an open passageway through which the strap passes. Integrally formed first and second elongate walls define at least part of the passageway and first and second grip portions for gripping the strap. The second wall is mounted for rotation about a transverse axis so as to move the grip portion of the second wall toward or away from the first grip portion.

A lace tensioning device includes a housing component having an interior region, a first aperture, and a second aperture, and a spool component that is rotatably positionable within the interior region of the housing component. The spool component has a central cylindrical member and a lumen that extends through the central cylindrical portion. The spool component is rotatable within the interior region of the housing component to align one end of the lumen with the first aperture and to align an opposite end of the lumen with the second aperture to enable a lace to be inserted through the first aperture, the lumen, and the second aperture so that opposing ends of the lace are positioned exterior to the housing component. A knot may then be tied in the lace and the lace retracted to couple the lace with the housing component and spool component.

A magnetic clasp system, having a clasping assembly, which includes a top portion, a bottom portion, and a pin defining a patch configured to receive a strap, and wherein the bottom portion includes a magnetically responsive material. The magnetic clasp system also including a mounting assembly, the mounting assembly including a magnetically responsive material configured to draw the clasping assembly and the mounting assembly together when within a magnetic field thereof.

Case for containing an item and method of manufacture comprising: a first panel having a perimeter edge and at least one hinge for folding the first panel. A second panel having a perimeter edge and at least one hinge for folding the second panel. A side panel. A first fastener configured to attach the side panel to the perimeter edge of the first panel. A second fastener configured to attach the side panel to the perimeter edge of the second panel. Method of manufacture of a layered material comprising the steps of: placing a substrate between a first and a second layer of self-reinforced polypropylene (srPP). Bonding the layers of srPP and substrate by: stitching, or riveting through the first layer of srPP, the substrate and the second layer of srPP; or gluing the first layer of srPP, the substrate and the second layer of srPP together.

Web adjusters for use with occupant restraint systems are described herein. In some embodiments, a web adjuster can include first and second cross bars that are operably coupled to a frame, and a release member that is pivotally coupled to the frame and configured to cooperate with the second cross bar. In use, a web can be routed through the web adjuster so that it passes between the first and second cross bars. A user can increase tension in the web by pulling on a free end of the web. When the free end of the web is released, it drives the first cross bar toward the second cross bar to fixedly clamp the web therebetween and maintain the tension in the web. To release the tension in the web, the user can rotate the release member away from the frame, which in turn enables the second cross bar to move away from the first cross bar, thereby enabling the web to pass between the two cross bars and through the adjuster.
