Abstract: A tie-down device is provided by the present disclosure that includes an elongated member, a pliable cord engaged with the elongated member, the pliable cord having a grounding end portion and a stop end portion. A distal securing member is fixed to the grounding end portion of the pliable cord, and a proximal securing member is slidably engaged along the pliable cord opposite the distal securing member. The grounding end portion is secured to a ground member, the proximal securing member is secured to an object, and the elongated member is slid distally towards the grounding end portion to tighten the device.

Abstract: A tie-down device, for use in aircraft by way of example, is provided that includes an elongated member having an upper surface portion, a lower surface portion, a first end portion and a second end portion opposite the first end portion. Each end portion has an aperture extending transversely through the upper and lower surface portions. A pliable cord extends through the apertures and has a grounding end portion and a stop end portion. A distal securing member, such as a hook, is fixed to the grounding end portion of the pliable cord, and a proximal securing member, also a hook by way of example, is slidably engaged along the pliable cord. The grounding end portion is secured to a ground member, the proximal securing member is secured to the aircraft, and the elongated member is slid distally towards the grounding end portion to tighten the device.
