A tie-down device for securing cargo bindings. The device includes a housing unit with a hollow cavity therein. A threaded screw extending through the bore of the cavity and projecting through an opening in a closed end of the housing unit and secured to a threaded fastener. The invention further includes a threaded nut and capture assembly fixedly attached to the opposing end of the threaded screw that is able to extend and retract through an open end of the housing unit. The threaded screw can be turned to a first position projecting the capture assembly through the open end to either capture or loosen bindings. The threaded screw can be turned to a second position causing the secured bindings to be retracted into the housing unit facilitating their tightening.

A load binding system comprising: a housing body having four sides together defining an encasement cavity, the housing body having a first closed end spaced from a second open end, a threaded screw extending longitudinally through a bore in the first closed end and into the encasement cavity of the housing body, a first rotating means threadably engaging a portion of the threaded screw located outside of the encasement cavity adjacent to the bore in the first closed end, and a second capture means for capturing cargo lashings, the second capture means being fixed to a portion of the screw opposite the first rotating means, the second capture means having a first extended position substantially outside of the encasement cavity for permitting the capture of cargo lashings and having a second retracted position substantially inside the encasement cavity, wherein rotation of the first rotating means causes movement of the second capture means from the first extended position to the second retracted position such that cargo lashings captured by the second capture means may be pulled into the encasement cavity to facilitate a tightened condition of a captured lashing looped about cargo, and wherein said first rotating means includes a threaded fastener that engages the portion of said threaded screw projecting through the bore in said first closed end, the fastener being fixedly attached to a threaded leveraging collar, at least one ear being attached to the collar with each ear having an opening sized to receive a leveraging bar used to the threaded fastener of said first rotating means to move said second capture means alternately between said first and said second positions.
