Abstract: A universal attachment assembly system and method comprising a pair of clamping levers, a tension delivery member, and a tension adjustment member, wherein the tensile pulling force delivered to each clamping lever is directionally changed, via the fulcrum, into a compressive force, thereby facilitating secure placement and seating of the universal attachment assembly in a selected position relative for a plurality of uses, including but not limited to securing a planar covering over an opening and bracing a framed structure expanse.

Abstract: A universal attachment assembly for installing, and bracing covers over openings. More particularly securing shutter panels over doors and windows in masonry construction without defacing the walls. Novelty, simplicity, economy, vibration resistance and speed of installation are characteristics of the assembly. Tensile force is created by commercially available ratcheting device 21 and transmitted by flexible, lightweight straps 22 within universal attachment assembly 20. Marginally distributed paired fulcrum holes 23 in shutter 24 provide bearing against the structural rigidity of shutters 24 to convert strap tension into compression by novel specialized structural clamping levers 10. Corner of wall opening 25 is clamped by lever against shutter 24. Elasticity of straps provides resilience in maintaining constant, high, compressive loading against concrete sills, etc. despite fluctuations due to turbulent wind loads.
