Abstract
A fastener for securing a cargo container includes a first fastener component and a second fastener component. The first fastener includes a pair of rails which bridge a first and a second fixed body. A lock body is slidably mounted on the rails, and has two opposite ends abutting respectively against the rails and a locking hole between the opposite ends. The second fastener component includes a threaded stem which extends between the pair of rails through a screw hole formed in the first fixed body, and a locking portion extending into the locking hole. An engagement unit provides engagement of the locking portion in the locking hole such that relative rotation of the stem and the lock body is permitted only in one single direction that causes the stem to move toward the second fixed body.
