Releasible cargo bed engaging anchor

Apparatus comprising:

• a releasible cargo bed engaging anchor, including:
• a base, wherein the base includes
• a claw end,
• a hitch end opposed of the claw end,
• a shank, wherein the shank extends between the hitch end and the claw end,
• wherein in transverse cross section, the claw end includes
• a turned hook portion, wherein the hook portion terminates in a hook end,
• wherein the hook end is disposed away and separated from a first side surface of the shank,
• wherein a gap extends intermediate of the hook end and the first side surface,
• wherein the hook end and the gap are laterally elongated and of generally uniform cross section between a first lateral side and a second lateral side of the claw end,
• wherein the hook end is configured to engage a ledge projection of a cargo bed, wherein the ledge projection extends in the gap and generally transversely of the shank,
• wherein the hitch end includes a pivot, wherein the pivot
• is generally centered relative to the first and second sides of the claw end,
• includes one of a projection, a pin or an opening in the hitch end of the base,
• a cap, wherein the cap includes
• a post, and
• a cleat,
• wherein the post includes a first post end and an opposed second post end,
• wherein the first post end is movably rotatably operatively engaged with the base through the pivot,
• wherein the cleat is operatively engaged with the post at the second post end,
• wherein the cleat is laterally elongated relative to the post and includes a pair of face surfaces that extend in generally facing relation toward the base,
• wherein one face surface of the pair extends on each respective lateral side of the post,
• wherein the pair of face surfaces and the hitch end of the base bound a recess, wherein the recess extends generally around the post,
• wherein the recess is configured to enable a tie having a generally U shape to engage the anchor by extending around the post in the recess.
