US Patent 9211985 Adjustable strap

An adjustable strap assembly comprises a cincture and a band. The cincture and the band preferably include attachment components on end and are adjustably connected such that the overall length of the strap assembly can vary in length from as little as approximately just the length of the cincture to as long as approximately the length of the cincture and band together. In addition the embodiments may include a securing mechanism to maintain the adjustable strap assembly at the desired length even under stress. In one embodiment the band is made from elastic material to ensure that when the adjustable strap assembly is used to cinch a bundle, the adjustable strap assembly will remain tight.
