A tie-down device for securing a load to another object has a buckle assembly that includes an outer housing having two parallel side walls, a bridge, and first and second end walls connected to the side walls. A pivoting member extends through the side walls. The buckle assembly further includes a cam-shaped locking button which is located on the pivoting member and is normally biased by a biasing member into a locked position, the locking button having a central bore formed therethrough and receiving the pivoting member. A row of serrated teeth is provided on the locking button and is biased downwardly by the biasing member into substantial engagement with the second end wall. A hook extends from the first end wall and has a bar that defines a space with the first end wall. The hook is provided in the same piece and same material as the outer housing.

Disclosed is a quick release tool belt for the waist of a user, which includes a support strap, a release band with belt teeth on a first end and a binding with a release mechanism on the second end and slidably coupled to the release band. The binding has a base, a release rotationally attached to the base with a tooth lock, a tooth coupling rotationally attached to the base and engaged with the release and the release band, and a lever rotationally attached to the release and engaged with the release band with a tightening tooth. When the release is in the engaged position the tooth coupling and the lever are engaged with the release band and when the release is in the release position, the tooth coupling is operably engaged with the release and the tooth coupling and the lever are disengaged with the release band.

Disclosed a clamping device for belts or ropes comprising a lower panel comprising a flat surface portion perpendicularly integrated with a securing plate having recess; and an upper panel comprising a push button for unlocking said clamping device; a locking panel located in between the lower panel and the upper panel comprising a pressing lever engaged with a protruding panel through the protruding end of said panel, and a pair of springs; the pair of springs are integrated at the sides of the pressing lever and connected at the sides of protruding panel to form a retractable locking combination; the clamping device is in a locking position when the protruding panel is inserted into the recess of the securing plate; and the clamping device is in an unlocking position when the protruding panel is retracted from the recess of the securing plate by pushing the push button.

The device for adjusting and clamping a strap comprises superposed first and second rings to define a slot for the strap to pass through. The second ring presses on the first ring. The slot for the strap to pass through is bounded by an outer edge of the second ring and an inner edge) of the first ring. The two rings are movable with respect to one another so that the slot for the strap to pass through is of variable thickness. A bottom surface of the first ring opposite the top surface of the first ring has a textured area provided with several salient elements designed to form an increased friction area between the strap and the bottom surface of the first ring. The textured area is separated from the outer edge of the second ring by the slot for the strap to pass through.

Disclosed are belt adjustment systems, particularly for wearing around a user's waist, that permit a continuum of belt loop sizes or a larger selection of belt loop sizes. The belt adjustment system includes an elongate belt member having a first end, a second end and a series of teeth positioned on an inner surface near the second end and a fixation member having first and second adjustment elements.

A blood flow restriction (BFR) exercise strap. The strap is configured with a coupling at a first end of an elastic band. A second free end of the band is releasably retained in the coupling by a lever arm that is biased in a closed configuration against a plurality of teeth carried on an interior surface of the base. The band has graduated indicia carried thereon for determining a constriction level applied by the band to a limb of the user. The graduated indicia allow the user to set a desired level of constriction on each of a left limb and a right limb to provide the user to develop bilateral symmetry of targeted muscle groups of the limbs.

Tie-down assemblies and methods of their use are provided. In one embodiment, a tie-down assembly may include a buckle, a first strap, and a second strap. The buckle may include a frame, a handle pivotably attached to the frame and configured to pivot about a first axis between an open position and a closed position, and a drum rotatably attached to the handle and configured to rotate about a second axis, wherein the second axis is spaced apart from and extends parallel to the first axis. The first strap may be attached to the frame, and the second strap may be configured to removably attach to the drum.

A belt buckle has a pivoting member pivotally attached to a pair of opposing sidewalls at a predetermined position so as to provide a space between the pivoting member and a belt-receiving surface of the belt buckle. The pivoting member is pivotable to a first position wherein the pivoting member contacts a movable belt section of a belt that is positioned on the belt-receiving surface and between the opposing sidewalls so as to prevent movement of the movable belt section in a direction that would cause loosening of the belt. The belt buckle is configured to allow a user to select the side of the belt that will be visible and the side of the belt that will face the user's waist. In some embodiments, the belt buckle includes a built-in light assembly, an item separation alarm circuit and a compass.
