Anti-slip webbing adjuster
First Claim
1. A device for adjusting a length of webbing, comprising:
- a generally U-shaped body comprising two side arms connected by an end arm, said side arms each having an end;
a connecting device attached to the ends of the side arms;
a transverse bar mounted between the two side arms and separated from the end arm, said transverse bar having a gripping surface;
a pivotable plate mounted between the two side arms and in between said transverse bar and said connecting device, said pivotable plate having a gripping surface contacting the gripping surface of said transverse bar; and
release means on at least one side arm for selectively pivoting said pivotable plate,wherein a length of webbing threaded through said device is securely held between the gripping surfaces of said transverse bar and said pivotable plate until said release means is actuated.

Abstract
A device for adjusting a length of webbing, comprising a generally U-shaped body formed from two side arms connected by an end arm. A transverse bar having a gripping surface is mounted between the two side arms. A connecting device such as a buckle or hook is attached to the ends of the side arms. A pivotable plate is mounted between the two side arms and in between the transverse bar and connecting device. The pivotable plate has a gripping surface that contacts the gripping surface of the transverse bar. A release device is mounted on at least one side arm for selectively pivoting the pivotable plate. A length of webbing threaded through the device is securely held between the gripping surfaces of the transverse bar and pivotable plate until the release means is actuated. The friction from the gripping surfaces and pressure from the pivotable plate prevents the webbing from slipping out of the device even under tension from all angles. The release device permits simple adjustment of the webbing.
