Abstract
This invention provides a convenient, inexpensive device for securing objects in place in the load bed of a transporting vehicle, comprising an elongate frame, clamping members arranged for movably mounting opposite ends of the frame to variable positions along opposing rails on the sidewalls of the load bed, and a load securing member arranged for movably mounting to variable positions along the frame to enable direct pressure engagement of an object located a variable positions within the load bed.
Claims19
A device for securing an object to the load bed of a vehicle, comprising:
- an elongated base support frame having opposite ends, said frame comprising two about parallel elongate sides connected by a third elongate side arranged about perpendicular to said about parallel sides, said third elongate side having a plurality of spaced openings arranged along about its length;
- clamping means, arranged for mounting said opposite ends of said frame to opposing rails arranged on upstanding sidewalls of said load bed of said vehicle;
- a load securing means, comprising an elongate twist threaded shaft, said shaft having a means arranged at one end for engaging an object to be secured and being configured at an opposite end to enable leveraged turning of said shaft;
- and
- means for twist threading said shaft through at least one of said plurality of spaced openings in said frame.
The combination of a vehicle having a load bed with upstanding sidewalls and a device comprising:
- an elongated base support frame having opposite ends, said frame comprising two about parallel elongate sides connected by a third elongate side arranged about perpendicular to said about parallel sides, said third elongate side having a plurality of spaced openings arranged along about its length;
- clamping means, arranged for mounting said opposite ends of said frame to opposing rails arranged on upstanding sidewalls of said load bed of said vehicle;
- load securing means, comprising an elongate twist threaded shaft, said shaft having means arranged at one end for engaging an object to be secured and being configured at an opposite end to enable leveraged turning of said shaft;
- and
