Cargo securing system for a pick up truck

摘要

A roof-mountable retractable cargo securing system for cargo positioned in an open bed of a pick-up truck, the system may include two roof-mountable base tubes interconnected with a connecting plate so that longitudinal axes of the base tubes are separated by a distance that exceeds a width of the cargo to be secured. Securing members concentric with and slidably engaged with the base tubes may be selectively enclosed within the base tubes or partially extended from the base tubes to positions at sides of the cargo to be secured. Contact arms may be pivotally coupled to ends of the securing members and rotationally positionable to interconnect the securing members with the cargo to be secured.

主权项

1. A system for securing cargo on a vehicle, the system comprising:
a base tube: a securing member concentric with the base tube and slidably engaged with the base tube to be selectively enclosed within the base tube or partially extended from the base tube; and a pair of cargo contact arms pivotally coupled to an end of the securing member; wherein the cargo contact arms include notched hubs that surround the end of the securing member; and wherein the notched hubs are engageable with each other to lock the contact arms in desired rotational positions so that the contact arms can interconnect the securing member with the cargo to be secured.
