<p>A load binder for use in connection with a typical tie strap for securing a load for transport includes a body (12) having a handle (14) pivotally connected to one end (34) thereof, a threaded shaft (18) extending out of the other end (36) of the body (12), a link (20) pivotally attached to the handle (14), a first tie down engaging element (22) attached to the link (20) by a ball joint (24) and a second tie down engaging element (26) attached to the threaded shaft (18) by a ball joint (28). The freely movable ball joints (24, 28) coupling the tie down engaging elements (22, 26) to the body (12) and the handle (14) allow the binder to conform to the shape of the load and also prevent the tie down from twisting upon itself. A safety pin (56) positively locks the handle (14) in position relative to the body (12).</p> |
