are usually provided by .the manufacturer with sockets or stake pockets for anchoring stakes therein. The.
sockets are'usually in the form of short metallic sections' of open channel form comprised of a pair of parallel side walls connected by a web,the free ends of the side walls being provided with outwardly extending flanges. The bed or floor of the vehicle is provided with a metallic edging strip about its sides and ends to which the flanges are welded with the open end of the channel facing the strip, the web'facing outwardly. It has been found that for the various makes and models of such cargo carrying vehicles, there is no uniformity ofstake pocket" sizes. In addition, few pockets on any new trailer are of the exact same dimensions. It is therefore impossible to supply a standard uniform stake upright which will properly .fit all the pockets on all trailers or trucks or even on those of one such vehicle in which the pocket dimensions sometimes vary.

186,051 filed Oct. 4, 1971, I have disclosed stake up-' rights which are provided with groove forming structures and which, when inserted in the pockets, receive the marginal side edge portions of panel members which are utilized for enclosing the sides of the vehicle when it is desired to enclose the cargo. In order to.

It is therefore a general object of this invention to provide an adapter for enabling stake uprights of predetermined standard dimensions 'to be rigidly supported in stake pockets of various dimensions.
It is a specific object of the invention to provide an insert for stake pockets of various dimensions in order to rigidly support a stake of standard dimensions.
In accordance with the above objects, a stake pocket insert has been provided which can adapt itself to the dimensions of various sizes of pockets or which can be rigidly secured within pockets of various dimensions to rigidly support a stake'in upright position. The structure of this insert will now be explained in detail with specific reference to the drawings in which: a

FIG. 13 shows the parts of FIG. 12 in fully assembled relation.
The socket, commonly known as a stake pocket, conventionally provided on cargo carriers'such as open flat bed trucks, trailers or railway cars, is shown in FIG. I as a channel section 1 of metal having flanges 3 extending outwardly from the upper ends of the side walls thereof. These flanges are secured, as by welding, to
' the metal strap 5 which extends about the edge of the floor of the cargo carrier, the strap forming one wall of the socket. While the stake pocket is here shown as rectangular in cross-section, it may be oval or of other geometric shape and it is understood that the insert or adapter of this invention will be correspondingly shaped. The insert or adapter 7 is of generally open box-like form having a bottom and an'open top with one side wall of the box removed. Each of the remaining three side walls is provided at its face end with an outwardly extending flange 9a, 9b and 9c, respectively. The adapter is made of flat sheet metal which can be stamped out to form the sides, which are then folded to form the generally box-like structure above described. The side walls of the insert 7 are provided with fingers or lances llwhich may be struck or punched out from the material of the walls. i
The insert 1 is assembled to the pocket 7 by inserting it therein with the bottom wall thereof down and the open side of the adapter toward the strap 5. As shown in FIG. 3, the adapter is forced downwardly until the flanges 9a, 9b, 9c seat on the top edge of the socket wall, the fingers or lances ll providing pressure against the pocket wall to maintain the. insert firmly therewithin. The insert, together with the strap 5, provides a pocket of predetermined dimensions within which a stake S having a bottom portion of corresponding di- -mensions may be firmly seated. Regardless of varia tions in dimensions of the pockets which are originally furnished with the cargo carrier, a stake having a bottom portion of standard predetermined dimensions may be supported therein with the above described adapter. Where the original pocket on the vehicle is of greatly oversized dimensions, a second insert, such as 13 in FIG. 4, may be provided which is constructed similarly to the adapter'7 but dimensioned on the one hand, to fit within the socket with its fingers or lances 11' in firm engagement with thesocket wall while on the other hand, forming a pocket of the proper dimensions to receive a smaller but standard sized adapter 7 which can firmly retain a stake of standard dimensions stead, the bottom wall of the adapter is provided with an opening 17 and a threaded nut 19 may be welded to the bottom wall with its threaded bore in alignment with the opening. After inserting the adapter in the socket until the flanges 9a-9c rest on the upper edge of the socket wall, a rigid plate 21 having a dimension to extend across and beyond the bottom edge of the socket wall is provided. The plate has an opening 21 aligned with the opening 17 for the insertion of a threaded bolt 23 which threads into the nut 19 to firmly secure the adapter therein.
In the modification of FIG. 7, the adapter comprises a solid block 25 of resilient, compressible material which can be inserted in the socket. The block is pro-' vided with a central longitudinal bore 27 therein for accommodating an elongated threaded bolt 29 extending therethrough. The stake, which is to be of standardized dimensions here shown as 31, may be of hollow construction, if so desired, and provided with a longitudinally extending cylindrical member 33 which is internally threaded and secured to the inner wall of the stake. Secured to or integral with the outer surface of the stake is a bar T which is T-shaped in cross-section with the head of the T-spaced from the surface of the stake to form a pair of grooves therebetween for the respective reception of the edge portions of panels, as described in my aforementioned copending U.S. Pat. application Ser. No. 186,051.
A bottom pressure plate 35 having a central opening is adapted to fit within the socket against the bottom of the block 25 when the latter is inserted therein. A top pressure plate 37 having a central opening and of dimensions to extend across and be supported by the top edge of the socket l, is provided with a depressed central portion 39 of a shape anddimensions to seat the base portion of the stake therein, the bottom wall of the depression preferably fitting within the socket. With the plate 37 supported on top of the socket wall and the stake within the seat 39, the block 25 may be inserted upwardly from the open bottom of the socket 1 against the upper pressure plate 37, as shown in FIG. 9. The
In the modification shown in FIGS. 1 l-l3, the socket insert or adapter is comprised of a rectangular block of order to secure the block 41 within the socket, there are provided at least three wedge members 47, each of which has one face 470 tapered to the same degree as the face of the block 41 but in the opposite direction. The faces 47b opposite the tapered faces 47a conform to the shape of the socket wall which as shown is flat. The block 41 is provided with a central longitudinal bore which is threaded to receive a bolt 51. Since the wedges 47 and block 41 are oppositely tapered, the latter will be held firmly between the tapered faces of the wedges when the block ismoved downwardly relative to the wedges, while the latter are within the socket sure plate 59 is provided against which the lower ends of the wedges abut, sothat upon rotation of the bolt 57, the head thereof bears against the plate to force the wedges upwardly while its threaded end within threaded bore 49 forces the block downwardly to generate large lateral pressures for securing the block within the socket. Obviously, the arrangement just described is effective to mount the block within sockets of various dimensions. The block 41 may be of metal, wood or rubber and be capable of withstanding sufficient pressure to maintain itself and the wedges firmly within the socket. Although the socket and block 41 are described as being rectangular in cross-section, obviously other shapes with corresponding changes in the shape of the wedges may be effectively. utilized.
