Load tie-down and anchor system

摘要

A load tie-down and anchor system for securing load binding chains or the like to a carrier vehicle such as a flat bed trailer is provided with anchor points which may be selectively positioned. Ways for the anchors are formed of a series of support plates mounted in equally spaced, parallel relation to one another. Each plate has a keyhole shaped slot and each anchor assembly includes an elongated bar slidably received in the larger portion of the slot. The bar is slightly longer than twice the spacing between adjacent support plates. An eye or other attachment member is carried by the bar at a point between one end and the midpoint thereof. The opposite half of the bar carries a retaining plate which is approximately as long as the spacing between two adjacent support plates and which is movable between a first position in which the retaining plate lies between the adjacent support plates and a second position in which the retaining plate is spaced from the support plates to permit sliding movement of the anchor assembly along the ways.
