Device for positioning cargo

摘要

The device comprises a tube, a rack slidably engaged in the tube, a base secured to the tube, a shaft pivotally supported in the base, and a ratchet gear fixed on the shaft and engaged with the rack so as to outstretch the rack from the tube when the ratchet gear rotates in an active direction. A stop is disposed in the base for engaging with the ratchet gear so as to prevent the ratchet gear from rotating in a reverse direction. A handle is pivotally coupled to the shaft, and a catch is disposed in the handle for engaging with the ratchet gear so as to rotate the ratchet gear when the handle rotates in the active direction. The rack is outstretched from the tube when the handle is rotated with reciprocating action. A sleeve is secured to the tube, the base being coupled pivotally to the sleeve at a pivot pin and including projection. A hook is coupled to the sleeve for engaging with the protection so as to retain the base in place relative to the sleeve. The base is rotatable about the pivot pin when the hook is disengaged from the projection.
