a resilient strap having a first end and a second end, wherein said first end is engaged with said slots; and
a securing member having a first aperture, wherein said aperture of said securing member is engaged with said at least one engaging device whereby said securing member maintains said resilient strap in a predetermined position relative to said first and second slots.
2. The adjustable tarp strap assembly of claim 1 , wherein said buckle assembly includes an engaging member whereby said securing member maintains said resilient strap generally planar relative to said engaging member.
3. The adjustable tarp strap assembly of claim 1 , wherein said buckle assembly includes a catch.
4. The adjustable tarp strap assembly of claim 3 , wherein said securing member includes a second aperture.
5. The adjustable tarp strap assembly of claim 4 wherein said second aperture is engaged with said catch.
6. The adjustable tarp strap assembly of claim 1 , wherein said securing member is a resilient member.
7. The adjustable tarp strap assembly of claim 6 , wherein said resilient member is a second strap whereby said second strap and said resilient strap are of equivalent material.
8. The adjustable tarp strap assembly of claim 1 , wherein said securing member orients said first end of said resilient strap along a length of said resilient strap toward said second end.
9. The adjustable tarp strap assembly of claim 1 , wherein said resilient strap includes a length, whereby said resilient strap is adjustable at any increment of said length.
10. The adjustable tarp strap assembly of claim 1 , wherein said securing member maintaining said resilient strap in said predetermined position prevents said resilient strap from sliding through said first and second slots when under tension.
11. An adjustable tarp strap assembly comprising:
a buckle body including a first slot and a second slot;
an engaging member secured to said buckle body;
a resilient strap intertwined within said slots; and
a securing member engaged with said buckle body selectively contacting, holding and maintaining said resilient strap in a predetermined orientation relative to said engaging member.
12. The adjustable tarp strap assembly of claim 11 , wherein said buckle body includes an engaging device and a catch located on opposite sides of said buckle body.
13. The adjustable tarp strap assembly of claim 12 , wherein said securing strap includes a first aperture and a second aperture.
14. The adjustable tarp strap assembly of claim 13 , wherein said first aperture is engaged with said engaging device and said second aperture is engaged with said catch.
15. The adjustable tarp assembly of claim 11 , wherein said securing member maintains said resilient strap in a predetermined position relative to said first and second slots.
16. The adjustable tarp strap assembly of claim 11 , wherein said securing member selectively holding and maintaining said resilient strap in said predetermined orientation prevents said resilient strap from sliding through said first and second slots when under tension.
17. The adjustable tarp strap assembly of claim 11 , wherein said resilient strap includes first and second ends whereby said second end includes a second engaging member and said first end is a free end.
18. The adjustable tarp strap assembly of claim 11 , wherein said securing member includes a resilient strap selectively engaged with said buckle body.
19. The adjustable tarp strap assembly of claim 11 , wherein the engaging member includes a hook.
20. The adjustable tarp strap assembly of claim 11 , wherein said securing member contacting said resilient strap directs said resilient strap toward said buckle body.
21. The adjustable tarp strap assembly of claim 11 , wherein said securing member contacting said resilient strap applies pressure to said resilient strap.
22. An adjustable tarp strap assembly comprising:
a body having first and second resilient strap engaging devices;
an engaging member attached with said body;
a resilient strap having first and second ends, wherein said resilient strap is selectively engaged with said first and second resilient strap engaging devices; and
a securing member engaged with said body selectively contacting, holding and maintaining said resilient strap in a predetermined orientation relative to said engaging member, wherein said resilient strap is prevented from moving from engagement with said first and second resilient strap engaging devices against a tensile load.
23. The adjustable tarp strap assembly of claim 22 , wherein said first end of said resilient strap is a free end engaged with said first and second resilient strap engaging devices and said second end includes a second engaging member.
24. The adjustable tarp strap assembly of claim 23 , wherein said securing member orients said first end of said resilient strap along a length of said resilient strap toward said second end.
25. The adjustable tarp strap assembly of claim 22 , wherein said securing member contacting said resilient strap directs said resilient strap toward said body.
26. The adjustable tarp strap assembly of claim 22 , wherein said securing member contacting said resilient strap applies pressure to said resilient strap.
