Claim Text:
1. A load restraint device, comprising: (a) a base plate having a center and a first wing and a second wing extending outwardly from the center, at about a right angle from each other, said wings defining a space between said wings; (b) a central pin, rigidly attached to said center of said base plate and extending outwardly in a direction perpendicular to said base plate, and having a rounded surface, facing away from said space between said wings; (c) a first side pin, attached to said first wing and a second side pin attached to said second wing, said side pins extending parallel to said central pin and each having distal free ends and a rounded portion facing said space between said wings; (d) an end plate having a center rigidly attached to said central pin and two end plate wings, defining a space between said end plate wings, that is aligned to said space between said wings but smaller, because said end plate wings are abbreviated compared to said base plate wings, said end plate being parallel to said base plate, a first strap space existing between said end plate and said distal free end of said first side pin and a second strap space existing between said end plate and said distal free end of said second side pin; (e) whereby a user can place said device on a load and can thread a strap through said first strap space and said second strap space so that it extends between said load and said side pins, and over said central pin so that said central pin is between said strap and said load, thereby retaining said load while the strap contacts only rounded surfaces.
