Claims20
A securement device attachable to an inner rigid structure of a container that comprises a sidewall and a corner post to secure a load in the container, the securement device comprising:
- at least two leaves, said leaves having a front main surface and a rear main surface, and further having a contact surface extending between the front and rear main surfaces, the contact surface being formed at a tip portion of the leaf to contact a profile of the corner post,
- wherein at least one of said leaves comprises at least one aperture that extends between the front and rear main surfaces, said device comprising at least two such apertures and an intersection positioned between said at least two such apertures to receive a strap, characterized in that the rear main surface of the leaf comprises a protrusion that is rigid and solid and integrally formed with the rear main surface at an end of the leaf, away from said intersection.
A method for securing a load in a container, comprising:
- installing a securement device in a corner post of the container;
- rotating the securement device in the corner post of the container;
- and
- attaching a strap to the securement device,
- wherein the securement device comprises at least two leaves, said leaves comprising
- a front main surface,
- a rear main surface,
- an intersection positioned between said leaves;
- a protrusion that is rigid and solid and integrally formed with the rear main surface at an end of one of the at least two leaves, away from said intersection, and
- a contact surface extending between the respective front and rear main surfaces, the contact surface being formed at a tip portion of at least one of said at least to leaves to contact a profile of the corner post, and wherein at least one of said leaves comprises at least one aperture that extends between the front and rear main surfaces, said securement device comprising at least two such apertures to receive the strap.
