Abstract
A cargo bracing device includes a base having two side plates for rotatably attaching a reel drum, one or more toothed discs attached to the reel drum and controlled to rotate relative to the base with a stop, an operating arm having two legs rotatably attached to the reel drum, a catch device attached to the operating arm and engaged with the toothed disc, and an anchoring device may detachably anchor the legs of the operating arm to the reel drum, and the legs of the operating arm may be selectively disengaged from the reel drum to prevent the operating arm from being operated by unauthorized persons, and for preventing the cargo from being stolen by the unauthorized persons.
Claims13
A cargo bracing device comprising:
- a base including two side plates, said side plates each including an orifice formed therein,
- a reel drum rotatably engaged in said orifices of said side plates of said base for rotatably attaching said reel drum to said base,
- at least one toothed disc attached to said reel drum and rotated in concert with said reel drum, and including a plurality of disc teeth provided thereon,
- a spring-biased stop slidably attached to said base and engaged with said disc teeth of said at least one toothed disc, for limiting said at least one toothed disc and said reel drum to rotate relative to said base in an active direction and for preventing said reel drum from being rotated in a reverse direction relative to said base,
- an operating arm including two legs rotatably attached to said reel drum,
- a spring-biased catch device slidably attached to said operating arm and engaged with said disc teeth of said at least one toothed disc, for allowing said at least one toothed disc and said reel drum to be rotated relative to said base by said operating arm in the active direction and for preventing said reel drum from being rotated in the reverse direction relative to said base by said operating arm, and
- means for detachably anchoring said legs of said operating arm to said reel drum, and said legs of said operating arm being selectively disengageable from said reel drum and said base when required, said detachably anchoring means including at least one anchor member for detachably anchoring said legs of said operating arm to said reel drum, and said at least one anchor member being attached to said catch device for selectively engaging with said reel drum.
