Abstract
A cargo restraining device is disclosed herein. The cargo restraining device includes a base, a first restraint coupled to the base, the first restraint including a first member coupled orthogonally to a second member and configured to move from a first position to a second position, the first restraint configured to restrain a pallet in a first direction when in the first position, and a second restraint coupled to the base and configured to move from a third position to a fourth position, the second restraint configured to restrain the pallet in a second direction that is orthogonal to the first direction when in the third position.
Claims20
A cargo restraining device, comprising:
- a base;
- a first restraint coupled to the base, the first restraint including a first member coupled orthogonally to a second member and configured to move from a first position to a second position, the first restraint configured to restrain a pallet in a first direction when in the first position;
- and
- a second restraint coupled to the base and configured to move from a third position to a fourth position, the second restraint configured to restrain the pallet in a second direction that is orthogonal to the first direction when in the third position.
A cargo restraining system, comprising:
- a first seat-track including an inside track and an outside surface;
- a second seat-track disposed adjacent the first seat-track including an inside track and an outside surface;
- and
- a cargo restraining device, including:
- a base having a top side and a bottom side;
- a tension stud coupled to the bottom side of the base, the tension stud configured to engage the inside track of the first seat-track;
- a shear plunger extending through the base adjacent the tension stud, the shear plunger configured to translate with respect to the base and engage the outside surface of the first seat-track;
- a tension bar coupled to the bottom side of the base and configured to engage the inside track of the second seat-track;
- a first restraint coupled to the top side of the base, the first restraint configured to restrain a pallet in a first direction;
- and
- a second restraint coupled to the top side of the base adjacent the first restraint, the second restraint configured to restrain the pallet in a second direction that is orthogonal to the first direction.
A cargo restraining device, comprising:
- a first restraint configured to restrain a pallet in a first direction;
- a second restraint configured to restrain the pallet in a second direction that is orthogonal to the first direction;
- and
- rollers configured for moving the pallet, the rollers disposed below the first restraint.
