Aspects herein are directed to a strap system having an adjustable stretch that is suitable for upper body garments, lower body garment, and articles such as bags and articles of footwear. The strap system includes a pair of straps that are coupled together in a face sharing relationship by a coupling mechanism. One of the straps in the pair of straps has greater stretch properties than the other strap. A total stretch of the strap system is adjustable by moving the coupling mechanism along a length of the strap system.

A cord clamping device and process are provided for closure or tying of cords through an internal clamping element for holding cords placed at the central passage of central clamping passing through the main body of the device, which has a cylindrical shape with rounded edges. The conformation of cord clamping device allows it to be easily usable, engagable and attachable to various types of cords, or of even different textures to the conventional, keeping the cord solidly affixed to the clamping device, even under sudden movements or pressure, adjusting regardless of the surface characteristics or shape of cord, preventing slippage during the useful lifetime of the device.

A quick-release securing device is constructed of nylon strap having an openable loop at one end, and snap hook at the other end. The distance between the openable loop and the snap hook, and the circumference of the openable loop, is adjustable. The loop can be opened and closed using a buckle. A supplemental strap may be employed for releasably attaching items, such as boat fenders, to the securing device.

Highly adjustable, single piece buckles and buckle and strap assemblies for use as clothing belts and other purposes. The buckles comprise a chamber having a post that is used to hold the buckle and strap assembly in adjustment. The buckles and assemblies disclosed allow quick attachment, ease of cinching, and ease of removal. The design permits wearers to interchange belt straps, providing one buckle that can be matched to different colors and styles of belt straps.

A firearm strap buckle assembly includes an inlet end portion and an outlet end portion. A main tensioner bar is medially located within the buckle assembly and having upward facing surface of a first width and a downward facing surface of a second width greater than the first width. A first supporting tensioner bar is located between the inlet end and the main tensioner bar. A second supporting tensioner bar is located between the main tensioner bar and the outlet end. A first strap path is defined where the strap is positioned downwardly of the main tensioner bar. A second strap path is defined where the strap is positioned upwardly of the main tensioner bar. Frictional forces imparted to the strap when arranged within the first strap path are greater than frictional forces imparted to the strap when arranged within the second path strap.
