Abstract
A twisting assembly (, or) for tightening an elongated flexible material () including a base part (, or) having a plurality of teeth (, or) arranged in a circle; and a twisting part (, or) adapted for rotating relative to the base part and the twisting part having a windlass portion (, or). A portion of the elongated flexible material can be operatively connected to the windlass portion such that when the windlass portion is rotated, the portion of the material is twisted. The twisting assembly is adapted to allow movement of the twisting part away from close engagement with the teeth of the base part to allow rotation of the twisting part in one rotational direction relative to the base part. The twisting assembly is adapted to cooperatively allow movement of the twisting part into close engagement with the teeth of the base part to prevent rotation of the twisting part in the opposite rotational direction.
