Abstract: A securement and release device for webbing (SRDFW) comprised of two design configurations. Both configurations of the SRDFW allow a length of webbing to be quickly and securely attached to or removed from a structure. Both designs essentially function as a quick secure/release device into which webbing is inserted. Both configurations of the SRDFE are comprised of a securing and release assembly having a first side member, a second side member, an upper jaw, a center wedge, and a lower jaw. Pivot rods extend outward from the jaws and the wedge. The pivot rods allow the jaws and the wedge to pivot into a closed position that locks the webbing within the assembly. The jaws and wedge can then pivot to remove the webbing.

Abstract: A truss transporting and leveling apparatus (TTLA) that provides a mechanism by which & single person can quickly and easily raise a truss structure and then transport, move and level the truss structure to a required or desired location. The preferred embodiment of the TTLA is comprised of the following major elements: a rear panel, a right side panel, a left side panel, a front panel, leveling mechanism, mobility mechanism, and at least one mounting bolt. The mounting bolt(s) are inserted through an opening on a truss structure, thereby securing the bolt to the truss structure. A nut secures the bolt within a side-oriented T-shape opening while allowing the area of the bolt between flanges to move within horizontal and vertical sections of the opening.

Abstract: An example embodiment of a lockout shaft is provided that is used in combination with a tensioning device, such as a manual or automatic ratchet, which is used to tighten (or release) webbing that secures an item. The lockout shaft is capable of providing additional strength to the holding power of the webbing, with the additional strength being equal or greater to the strength of the webbing itself.

Abstract: Example embodiments of a wormgear securement and release device are described herein to include a device with a center shaft to hold a webbing/strap and an integrated wormgear to regulate the speed of the turning of the center shaft, thereby regulating the speed at which the webbing/strap releases the object that is strapped in. Optimally, a person would be able to use a length of conventional webbing to secure an item/object in a desired or required position.

The pivot rods allow the jaws and the wedge to pivot into an open configuration to allow webbing to be inserted into/through the first assembly, and then to pivot into a closed position that locks the webbing within the assembly. The jaws and wedge can then pivot to remove the webbing.

Abstract: A securing strap having at least two strap securing interfaces that functions in combination with a ratcheting device. The strap has a first end, a second end, an inner surface, an outer surface, an upper edge, and a lower edge. The first end of the strap is looped around a strap attachment rod on the ratcheting device and extends back over a section of the strap allowing the two strap sections to be attached. At intervals along the two attached strap sections, attachment means are used to create openings, into which the at least two strap securing intervals and at least one strap securing member are inserted when securing an object. Once the strap is inserted through the ratcheting device, the two securing interfaces and the at least one securing member, the strap remains in place securing the object even if the ratcheting device fails.
