Claim 19:
20. A cam buckle comprising:
a first side wall and a second side wall offset from one another in a width direction of the cam buckle by an internal width dimension sufficient to accommodate a strap of webbing between said side walls;
a wrap-around element spanning said internal width dimension and interconnecting said first and second side walls at a location situated intermediately between front and rear ends of the buckle that oppose one another in a longitudinal direction of orthogonal relationship to said width dimension, where the strap is wrappable about a front of said wrap-around element from an underside thereof to an opposing topside thereof to impart a folded longitudinally-directional reversal of the strap such that the strap both enters and exits the buckle at the rear end thereof;
a cam cover pivotably coupled to the two side walls at a pivot point elevated above said wrap-around element, said cam cover being pivotable between a closed securement position operable to hold said strap against said topside of the wrap-around element, and an open position releasing said hold of said strap against said topside of the wrap-around element; and
wherein at least one of said side walls has a snap-lock protuberance thereon at an inner side thereof that faces the other one of said side walls at an elevation that overlies the cam cover in the closed securement position thereof to resist opening of said cam cover.
