Abstract: A buckle assembly adaptable for use with strap portions, and comprising a hooking member and a receiving member is provided. The hooking member and receiving member of the present invention lockingly engage in a tensioned position to provide a secure connection. In an engaged and tensioned position, an interference portion on the hooking member securely retains the hooking member within a slot on the receiving member and prevents premature disengagement of the buckle assembly.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a reusable pallet wrapper used to secure palletized cartons stacked onto a pallet. The wrapper includes a flexible panel with rigid reinforcement at two ends. Straps are attached to one rigid end of the wrapper, and buckles are attached to the other rigid end of the wrapper. When the straps are inserted through the buckles and tension applied the wrapper panel will be secured around a stack of palletized objects with even tension across its width. This wrapper reduces the amount of damage to articles being wrapped.
