Patent ID: 8732915

Claim:
An adjustable webbing clamp adapted to selectively slide along one or more elongate webbing segments and to lock such webbing segments in place at the interior of the webbing clamp, the webbing clamp comprising: a base frame including a plurality of walls at least partially surrounding an interior cavity, wherein a door acceptance opening is disposed between a pair of opposed lateral sidewalls, and wherein each of the lateral sidewalls includes a webbing slot extending through the sidewall, the webbing slots being entirely enclosed by said lateral sidewalls and adapted to receive said one or more elongate webbing segments in threaded relation in a travel path across the interior cavity; and a camming door adapted for receipt within the door acceptance opening, the camming door including a lever portion and a camming ear adapted to be received within the interior cavity, the camming ear having a substantially lobe-shaped profile including a rear surface and a lower edge, the rear surface having a generally flat surface portion that is generally transverse to the lever, and the rear surface further having a curved portion extending between the generally flat surface portion and the lower edge, wherein the camming door is rotatably mounted at the base frame along an axis of rotation oriented in transverse relation to the lateral sidewalls and in substantial alignment with the travel path of the webbing segments such that upon rotating the lever portion to a raised position away from the base frame, the camming ear is raised away from the travel path of the webbing segments and upon rotating the lever portion towards the base frame, the camming ear is lowered into compressing, clamping relation against the webbing segments, the camming door being further configured such that the lower edge is disposed at an elevation below the rear surface and such that the lower edge is spaced apart from the axis of rotation at a distance which is greater than the distance between the axis of rotation and any portion of the rear surface.
