SPRINGLESS DOUBLE ENDED ELASTIC FABRIC TENSIONER

摘要

A springless, double ended elastic fabric tensioner including at least two gripping members, each having a first jaw and a second jaw biased together at a first pivot point and a second pivot point wherein the first and second pivot points are set apart from each other. A compression activation site is positioned in between the first and second pivot points for activating the first and second jaws from a closed position to an open position. The fabric tensioner further includes a tensioning elastomeric member having a first end and second end and providing sufficient tension between the gripping members whereby each gripping member removably engages either the first or second ends of the elastomeric member.
