A securement and release device for webbing (SRDFW) comprised of two design configurations. Both configurations of the SRDFW allow a length of webbing to be quickly and securely attached to or removed from a structure. Both designs essentially function as a quick secure/release device into which webbing is inserted. Both configurations of the SRDFW are comprised of a securing and release assembly having a first side member, a second side member, an upper jaw, a center wedge and a lower jaw. Pivot rods extend outward from the jaws and the wedge. The pivot rods allow the jaws and the wedge to pivot into an open configuration to allow webbing to be inserted into/through the first assembly, and then to pivot into a closed position that locks the webbing within the assembly. The jaws and wedge can then pivot to remove the webbing.

Example embodiments of a wormgear securement and release device are described herein to include a device with a center shaft to hold a webbing/strap and an integrated wormgear to regulate the speed of the turning of the center shaft, thereby regulating the speed at which the webbing/strap releases the object that is strapped in. Optimally, a person would be able to use a length of conventional webbing to secure an item/object in a desired or required position.
