A ratchet type load binder includes a slack adjustment linkage at one end of the ratchet binder which has an arcuate opening defining a first link receiving pocket and second link receiving pocket. A link operable within the slack take-up fitting is connected to a chain-type grab hook. Initial adjustment of the chain is done while the take-up link is in the first receiving pocket and because of slack, moved to the second receiving pocket and thereby reduce the amount of ratcheting motion.

Why it's free to use
- Filed August 27, 1997. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended August 27, 2017.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by August 27, 2019.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
