Abstract: A load sensor assembly integrally formed with a tensioning assembly or alternatively an inline load sensor assembly that is removably attachable to a line of a tensioning assembly to thereby provide for a relatively more reliable, efficient, and precise determination of a load, is disclosed herein.

Abstract: A tension assembly comprising a step release track for an incremental release of a load tension, is disclosed herein.

Abstract: A tensioning assembly comprising a worm gear having a core and a thread design formed on the core, wherein the core has a catenoidal shape, is disclosed herein.

Abstract: A tensioning assembly comprising a housing having a first sidewall and a second sidewall, and a ratchet mechanism disposed between the first sidewall and the second sidewall. The ratchet mechanism includes a tension release assembly biased in a first direction for lateral engagement with the ratchet mechanism, and lateral disengagement of the ratchet mechanism when pressure is applied to the tension release assembly in a second direction opposite to the first direction, is described herein. The assembly may include a force generating mechanism configured to provide a mechanical advantage when tensioning the device, and a guide roller for promoting line contact with a rotatable gripping wheel assembly.

Abstract: A strap tensioning device for anchoring a load to an anchor point, that includes a strap, a base member having a pair of arms, a handle rotatably connected to the base member, a mechanism operated by rotation of the handle for securing the strap to the base member under a tension, an anchor for anchoring the base member to the anchor point, and a tension indicating device connected to the base member. The tension indicating device includes a load member extending between the arms, and preferably a spring connected between the load member and the base member. At least one of the anchor and the strap are configured to exert a changing force on the load member for moving the load member against a resilient force of the spring as the tension in the strap changes.
