  • Patent number: 8915485
    Abstract: A strap-tensioning device includes a base that receives a rotatable drum rigidly connected to toothed wheels, and configured to engage a holding pawl; tensioning lever rotatably mounted by hinging onto the drum, and provided with a pawl for driving the toothed wheels; an unlocking pawl configured to release the toothed wheels from the respective engagement thereof with the holding pawl and with the driving pawl, rotatably mounted, independently of the rotation of the tensioning lever, by hinging onto the drum. The unlocking lever is rigidly connected to two parallel cams having the same profile, and configured to simultaneously engage, respectively, the holding pawl and the driving pawl, so as to release the rotation of the drum.
