CARGO SECURING DEVICE

摘要

A cargo securing device (2) adapted to resist shifting of a load (30) located on a cargo surface (1), comprises a securing member having a first face (19) for contacting the load and a second face (24) for contacting the cargo surface. The securing member is provided with a latch (10) engageable in the cargo surface whereby a force exerted by the load on the first face is transmitted through the latch to the cargo surface to prevent shifting of the load. The cargo securing device is provided with a load release mechanism adapted to release the force on the latch to facilitate its disengagement from the cargo surface. The device may be provided with a flexible anchor (8) by which the securing member may be slid along a slot in the cargo surface. It is particularly adapted for securing loads against shifting during rail transport.
