Abstract: The tiedown system has a single tensile member with cargo attachments on each end thereof. The tensile member passes through a series of guides affixed about the perimeter of the carrier (flatbed truck or trailer, etc.). The ends of the tensile member are secured removably to the rear of the cargo, e.g., the cargo rack of an all terrain vehicle (ATV). The medial portion of the tensile member is connected to a winch on the front of the ATV or other cargo, or alternatively the medial portion of the tensile member is passed through an opening on the front of the cargo, e.g., the forward cargo rack of the ATV, and connected to a winch anchored to the cargo bed of the carrier. The winch is actuated to draw up the tensile member, simultaneously pulling the rear and front of the cargo securely against the cargo bed of the carrier.

Abstract: A fishing line lock device or line attachment device which includes a shaft with a coil member extending from the upper end of the shaft, an anchor member attached to the second end of the shaft, and a sleeve with an upper tapered end, the sleeve enveloping the shaft and coil. The sleeve is secured in position by frictional or threaded engagement between the coil and an inner surface of the sleeve. The sleeve is made from or weighted with a heavy material to cause the device to sink in water. The coil defines an axial aperture adapted to receive a portion of fishing line which is wound into engagement therewith. In a preferred embodiment, the anchor member includes a ring member extending from the second end of the shaft. The ring also serves as an attachment point for standard straight line lures. In an alternative embodiment, the ring is replaced by first and second wire members which extend from the second end of the shaft.
