METHODS OF SECURING LINERS WITHIN CONTAINERS

摘要

A method of securing a flexible plastics liner (12) within a cargo container (10) uses a plurality of elastic retaining cords (17). Each cord (17) is either attached to the liner (12) at a suitable position (14), or is passed through a loop (43) (Figure 9) or other receptor (31) (Figure 8) secured to the liner. Each cord (17) has a self-jamming cleat (23) secured at or adjacent one end, to permit the cord to be coupled to a member (20) provided within the container (10) and then tensioned so as to suspend the liner therewithin. The cord may be passed through a hole (19) in the member (20) or a loop may be formed around the member (30) (Figure 8) or (41) (Figure 9).
