Abstract: The ratchet strap binder includes a main frame and a spool mounted for rotation inside the main frame. In one possible implementation, the spool has an outer surface and includes a first strap-receiving passageway extending inside the spool between opposite first and second openings located on the outer surface of the spool, and a second strap-receiving passageway extending inside the spool from a third opening located on the outer surface of the spool to at least the first passageway. Also disclosed is a method of adjusting a strap in length and a ratchet strap binder including an elongated strap passing inside the at least one strap-receiving passageway, the strap forming a loop to adjust the strap in length. The loop can be pulled using a finger-actuated pull tab attached to the loop or be pulled directly by the user's fingers.

Abstract: A hitch attached extension for over sized cargo has a longitudinally extending frame member adapted to be removably attached to a trailer hitch of a motor vehicle. The longitudinally extending frame member including a draw bar located at a distal end adapted to be connected with the trailer hitch, a pivot member adjacent the draw bar forming a pivot axis adapted to allow the longitudinally extending frame member to be pivoted between a horizontal position and a vertical stowing position with respect to the trailer hitch.
