Abstract: A modular strap assembly for securing cargo or the like to structural members or other suitable securing apparatus on interior or other cargo space of transport vehicles. The strap can be hooked to itself or something else at one end and tightened at the other end so as to hold the cargo securely in place. Being provided with integrally formed elastic members, the strap can absorb shocks or jarring movements, common during transport and can be viewed as a limited travel elastic shock absorber. This will prevent failure of the strap or fittings as well as eliminate damage to the cargo. The strap is designed to be used in compartments with lateral cross members or other interior fixtures or objects in order to tighten the strap into place and prevent movement of the cargo. Nylon webbing or other suitable material which has integrally formed internal pockets is used for the strap.

Abstract: A strap for releasably securing an appliance to the cross pieces of an inside wall of a delivery truck with sufficient tension to prevent jarring or movement of the appliance, has a hook device affixed to its first end for releasably securing such first end to a cross piece when the strap passes around the appliance. A projecting device is affixed to the second, opposite, end of the strap and extends therefrom. A strip of elastic material is interposed in the strap between the first and second ends thereof for providing elasticity in the strap. A slot device is affixed to the strap in the area of its second end, but spaced from such end, for releasably accommodating the projecting device to releasably secure the appliance to the cross piece via the strap.
