Abstract: The invention relates generally to the field of fasteners used with flexible strapping to secure cargo. In embodiments of the invention, a wire buckle fastener includes a retention tab coupled to an inside shoulder of the buckle. The retention tab prevents the inside shoulder from being pulled through a base of the buckle when the buckle is in use. In alternative embodiments of the invention, the retention tab may be configured as a loop or an open curve.

Abstract: The buckle includes a first and a second clamp member positioned substantially parallel to one another. End members are provided at the opposite ends of the first clamp member. The buckle includes a set of pliable wall directly interconnecting one of the end members to the second clamp member. The pliable walls are subjected to a permanent plastic deformation when the second clamp member is moved closer to the first clamp member.

Abstract: A golf putter providing an adjustable angle between the shaft the putter head, which angle can be adjusted to accommodate individual golfers. The putter head has a slot which extends vertically from a lower surface thereof and a cylindrical recess which extends from a rear surface of the putter head forming a vertical wall therebetween, with a pair of arcuate-shaped slots. The putter further includes a hosel assembly having a cylindrical joint member affixed to the lower portion of the shaft. The joint member closely fits within the cylindrical recess forming a pivot which is lockable in the desired angular position by a pair of hex head screws which extend through the joint member and opposite portions of the arcuate-shaped slots into threaded holes of the lock member.
