Abstract:
1. A tie down strapping system comprising: a tie down strap having a loop member; a hook for removably engaging a loop member on the tie down strap, the hook comprising: a retaining bar for engaging the loop member of the tie down strap, the retaining bar being positioned at a first end of the hook; first and second opposing side members that extend from the retaining bar and which converge into first and second hook ends respectively, where the first and second hook ends are positioned at the second end of the hook and where the first and second opposing side members are angled to convergence at a point between the first and second ends of the hook to create a triangular shaped member with the retaining bar near their point of convergence and where, just before the point of convergence, the first and second opposing side members are angled upward and parallel to one another; and the first and second hook ends being separated from one another by a gap sufficient for permitting the threading of the loop member of the tie-down strap onto and off of the hook, the hook ends preventing the loop member from sliding off the hooks during operation.
