Cargo restraint system

A cargo restraint system, comprising:

• a floor structure defining a number of anchorage openings made thereon, each said anchorage opening defining a maximum width;
• at least one elbowed fastener, for attaching a cargo restraint member to said floor structure, said elbowed fastener having an elongated head portion defining a length greater than said anchorage opening maximum width and a maximal cross-sectional width smaller than said anchorage opening maximum width, said elbowed fastener also defining a body portion connected transversely to said head portion;
• wherein said head portion of said elbowed fastener can be inserted into one of said anchorage openings of said floor structure and said body portion can extend from this said anchorage opening and project away from said floor structure;
• wherein said elbowed fastener head portion can releasably engage one of said anchorage openings, and said elbowed fastener body portion is for lockingly engaging the cargo restraint member to fasten the latter to said floor structure.

A cargo restraint system, for use with a floor structure defining a top wall and a number of anchorage openings made through the top wall, each anchorage opening defining a maximum width;

• said cargo restraint system comprising:
• bolt abutment means, to be provided about an undersurface of the floor structure top wall in the vicinity of its anchorage openings;
• at least two elbowed bolts having an elongated head portion defining a length such as to be greater than the anchorage opening maximum width, and defining a maximal cross-sectional width such as to be smaller than the anchorage opening maximum width, said elbowed bolt also defining a threaded shank portion connected transversely to said head portion;
• wherein said bolt head portion can be inserted into one of the anchorage openings of the floor structure and said threaded shank portion can extend from this anchorage opening and project away from the floor structure top wall;
• a nut capable of threadingly engaging said bolt threaded shank portion;
• wherein said bolt head portion can be inserted in one of the anchorage openings and said nut can be screwed on said bolt threaded shank portion for fastening a cargo restraint member to the floor structure;
• and wherein said bolt head portion abuts against said bolt abutment means when said nut is screwed onto said threaded shank portion to prevent rotational movement of said bolt.
