A tie-down (9, 38) includes two straps (12, 21) with hooks (17, 24) secured to their ends, the other end (29) of a first strap (21) being workable with a buckle (15, 39) to provide tension. The buckle is captured in a loop (13) formed in the second strap (12), along with a soft loop (10), into which the hook (17) can be engaged so as to avoid damaging an article being restrained by the tie-down. The soft loop (10) is fashioned by stitching (33) of three contiguous layers of strap in a region (32) between the two loops, adjacent to the buckle; the stitching being perpendicular to the direction of tension (35) in the strap.

1. A tie-down assembly comprising: a pair of hooks; a tensioning device; and first and second straps, each strap having a first end and a second end, the first end of each strap engaging a corresponding one of said hooks; said second end of said first strap being fed through said tensioning de
1. A tie-down assembly comprising: a pair of hooks; a tensioning device; and first and second straps, each strap having a first end and a second end, the first end of each strap engaging a corresponding one of said hooks; said second end of said first strap being fed through said tensioning device and adjustably positioned therein so as to determine the tension provided by said tie-down assembly; a first bend near said second end of said second strap being through said tensioning device to thereby form a first loop which engages said tensioning device, a second bend in said second strap, closer to said second end of said second strap than said first bend, turning back toward said tensioning device so as to form a second loop, with three contiguous layers of said strap in a region between said two loops, said three layers of strap being stitched together in said region. 2. A tie-down subassembly comprising: a hook; a tensioning device; and a strap having a first end and a second end, the first end of said strap engaging said hook; a first bend near said second end of said strap being through said tensioning device to thereby form a first loop which engages said tensioning device, a second bend in said strap, closer to said second end of said strap than said first bend, turning back toward said tensioning device so as to form a second loop, with three contiguous layers of said strap in a region between said two loops, said three layers of strap being stitched together in said region. 3. A tie-down assembly comprising: a pair of hooks; a tensioning device; and first and second straps, each strap having a first end and a second end, the first end of each of said straps engaging a corresponding one of said hooks; the second end of said first strap being fed through said tensioning device and adjustably positioned therein so as to determine the tension provided by said tie-down assembly; a pair of oppositely directed bends near said second end of said second strap, there being three contiguous layers of said second strap in a region between said two bends, said three layers being stitched together in said region so as to form two loops in said second strap, one of said loops in said second strap engaging said tensioning device. 4. A tie-down subassembly comprising: a hook; a tensioning device; and a strap having a first end and a second end, the first end of said strap engaging said hook; a pair of oppositely directed bends near said second end of said strap, there being three layers of said strap in a region between said two bends, said three contiguous layers being stitched together in said region so as to form two loops in said strap, one of said loops in said strap engaging said tensioning device. 5. A tie-down assembly according to any of claims 1-4 wherein: said tensioning device is a buckle. 6. A tie-down assembly according to claim 5 wherein: said buckle is a cam buckle. 7. A tie-down assembly according to claim 5 wherein: said buckle is a split axle ratchet buckle.
