Webbing gripper
Abstract
Abstract A DEVICE FOR ADJUSTING THE LENGTH OF WEBBING LEGS IN CARGO SLINGS. A U-SHAPED BODY HAS A WEDGE EXTENDING BETWEEN THE SIDE WALLS, WITH PINS GUIDED BY SLOTS IN THESE WALLS. A SMOOTH SURFACE OF THIS WEDGE FACES THE CENTRAL BODY SECTION AND A SERRATED SURFACE FACES A SIMILAR SERRATED SURFACE ON A STATIONARY PRESSURE BAR EXTENDING BETWEEN THE SIDE WALLS. THE WEBBING TO BE ADJUSTED IS WRAPPED AROUND THE ROUNDED LARGE END OF THE WEDGE AND PASSES BETWEEN THE WEDGE AND THE PRESSURE BAR ON ONE SIDE, AND THE WEDGE AND CENTRAL BODY SECTION ON THE OTHER SIDE. THE SLOTS ARE INCLINED, AND TENSION ON THE WEBBING THUS FORCES THE WEDGE TOWARD BOTH THE CENTRAL BODY SECTION AND PRESSURE BAR TO GRIP THE WEBBING ON BOTH SIDES. A CROSS PIN BRIDGES THE SIDE WALLS ADJACENT THE WIDE END OF THE WEDGE AND PREVENTS AN EXCESSIVE-SIZED LOOP FROM FORMING IN THE WEBBING SHOULD IT BE MOMENTARILY LOOSENED.
