Abstract
A cargo securing system for securing cargo in a cargo area of a vehicle from sliding in the cargo area includes a plate member configured to be positioned on a floor of the cargo area. A top surface of the plate member is configured to receive the cargo to support the cargo above the floor of the cargo area. A plurality of lateral securing assemblies are coupled to the plate member and configured to engage the cargo to inhibit sliding of the cargo on the plate member. At least one rotational securing assembly is coupled to the plate member and configured to engage the cargo to inhibit sliding of the cargo on the plate member.
Claims20
A cargo securing system for securing cargo positioned in a cargo area of a vehicle, said cargo securing system comprising:
- a plate member being configured to be positioned on a floor of the cargo area, a top surface of said plate member being configured to receive the cargo to support the cargo above the floor of the cargo area;
- a plurality of lateral securing assemblies being coupled to said plate member and configured to engage the cargo to inhibit sliding of the cargo on said plate member;
- at least one rotational securing assembly being coupled to said plate member and configured to engage the cargo to inhibit sliding of the cargo on said plate member;
- each of said lateral securing assemblies being positioned in one of a plurality of lateral channels of said plate member, each of said lateral securing assemblies being positionable along a length of the associated one of said lateral channels of said plate member;
- each of said lateral securing assemblies including a lateral rod being coupled to said plate member and extending along a length of the associated one of said lateral channels, an anchoring member of each of said lateral securing assemblies being slidably coupled to said lateral rod to permit said anchoring member to slide along a portion of a length of said lateral rod, said anchoring member being configured to engage the cargo to secure the cargo from sliding along said top surface of said plate member;
- and
- said anchoring member comprising an elongated housing being positioned substantially transverse to said lateral rod, said elongated housing slidably receiving said lateral rod to permit sliding of said elongated housing along said lateral rod.
A cargo securing system for securing cargo positioned in a cargo area of a vehicle, said cargo securing system comprising:
- a plate member being configured to be positioned on a floor of the cargo area, a top surface of said plate member being configured to receive the cargo to support the cargo above the floor of the cargo area;
- a plurality of lateral securing assemblies being coupled to said plate member and configured to engage the cargo to inhibit sliding of the cargo on said plate member;
- and
- at least one rotational securing assembly being coupled to said plate member and configured to engage the cargo to inhibit sliding of the cargo on said plate member, said at least one rotational securing assembly is rotatably positioned in at least one annular depression of said plate member, said at least one rotational securing assembly including a base plate being rotatably positioned in said annular depression;
- and
- at least one indexing member selectively engaging one of a plurality of indexing sockets extending into said plate member from said annular depression to secure said at least one rotational securing assembly in a desired position.
