The pump body coupled to the extension bar and the piston moveable within the pump body.
Claims20
A securement device comprising:
- a primary bar;
- at least one extension bar located within and coaxial with the primary bar;
- a bladder assembly located within the primary bar and comprising a fluid chamber and a fluid reservoir;
- a rod assembly comprising a rod terminating in a seal at a first rod end and coupled to the at least one extension bar at a second rod end, the seal moveable within the fluid chamber;
- a pump assembly comprising:
- a pump body extending axially between a body first end and a body second end to define a centerline, the pump body defining a piston chamber terminating in the second end;
- a piston moveable within the piston chamber;
- a check valve located at the first end, the check valve selectively fluidly coupling the piston chamber to the fluid chamber;
- and
- an inlet located at the first end, the inlet fluidly coupling the fluid reservoir to the piston chamber.

A method of securing a cargo load with a securement device, the method comprising:
- flowing a fluid along a first flow path from a fluid reservoir of a bladder assembly along a first flow path into a piston chamber of a pump body;
- flowing the fluid along a second flow path from the piston chamber into a fluid chamber of the bladder assembly;
- moving a floating piston assembly within the fluid chamber with the fluid;
- contacting a rod with the floating piston assembly to push the rod out of the bladder assembly;
- and
- pushing an extension bar out of a primary bar of the securement device with a spring damper mounted to the rod.
