CARGO RESTRAINING DEVICE

摘要

A restraining device including a bag filled with a ballast and sealed on all sides. When filled with predetermined amount of ballast, the restraining device is flexible and conforms to the shape of a cargo and a vehicle cargo area in a horizontal and or vertical dimension. The restraining device secures cargo in a vertical dimension while creating extra friction between the cargo and a cargo bed to prevent or reduce horizontal movement of said cargo. The restraining device interacts with cargo in a solely horizontal function by wrapping it around the horizontal base perimeter of the cargo. In this case, the friction between the restraining device and the cargo bed creates a barrier for the cargo thereby preventing or reducing horizontal movement of the cargo.
