Abstract
A cam buckle for adjustably securing a strip of web-like material includes a pair of side walls having front and rear ends, a top wall extending between the side walls, a first bar extending between the side walls below the top wall and a second bar slidably mounted between the first bar and the top wall. A loop is pivotally attached to the side walls rearwardly of the second bar, and one end of the strip is secured to the loop. The buckle is pivotable relative to the loop between locked and unlocked positions. The other end of the strip is looped around the second bar when the buckle is in the unlocked position, and the end of the strip is secured to the remainder of the strip by hook and loop fasteners. The buckle may be cammed over center to the locked position to tighten the strip.
