Abstract: An improved releasable tension strap is disclosed. A main strap is provided with a connector strap segment attached thereto and extending generally outwardly therefrom. One end of the main strap bears a first connecting means, while one surface of the connector strap segment bears a second connecting means compressively joinable with the first connecting means. Accordingly, the end of the main strap may be drawn through a closed-loop connector to a point where a desired degree of tension is exerted thereon. The main strap end may then be compressively joined with the connector strap segment thereby preventing retraction of the main strap through the closed-loop connector. Thus the main strap end is automatically fastened and never long or loose. Additionally, the connector strap segment may be slidably adjustable on the main strap so as to permit convenient adjustment thereof.
