SHEEI 2 BF 2 lim 1 LADING RETENTION APPARATUS BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention This invention relates to lading retention or securing apparatus or cargo tying apparatus and more particularly to simplified means for securingloads, lading, or storage goods in place and the apparatus may be partially or wholly installed in substantially any type of vehicle including railroad freight cars like box cars or gondola cars, highway trailers, airplanes, ships, etc., or it may be utilized in Warehouse service.
2. Description of the Prior Art Lading strap anchor devices and belt rails for belt material in railroad cars and the like are known as, for instance, in US. Pat. Nos. 2,827,000 and 3,769,917. However, what is desired is a simplified construction of lading strap or belt anchoring or rail means that can be used with existing belt rail equipment now being used in railway cars such as, for instance, D. F. belt rails. Also it is desirable to use pivoted type anchors with the belt rails for non use storage position of the anchors. It is these types of needs that this invention provides.
SUMMARY chor for out-of-the-way storage of same. Supplementary equipment is used such as lading protecting shield with the strap and buckle means to tie the strap on the lading.
These and other objects will become apparent from reference to the following description, appended claims and attached drawings.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is an inside view ofa wall or lading-containing box such as a railroad boxcar employing this invention;
FIG. 2 is a partial view in perspective illustrating the rails and anchor of the lading retention apparatus;
FIG. 3 is a sectional view taken along line 3-3 of FIG. 1;
FIG. 4 is a partial front view of the inventive device shown in FIG. 2 and taken along line 4--4 of FIG. 3;
FIG. 5 is illustrative of a lading protector or shield;
FIGS. 6 and 7 are views of a lading strap anchor which has a fixed shaft; and
FIG. 8 is a view of buckle means use in the lading retention apparatus.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT With reference to the drawings and in particular to FIG. 1, there is shown the side wall 2 of a railroad boxcar. The wall is provided with a plurality of upright side posts 4 on which are mounted a plurality of belt rails 6. It is noted that the belt rails 6 are so positioned that they are in sets of two in close proximity to one another so as to define a horizontal elongated space or slot 8 between them through which projects a lading strap or belt anchor member or element 10. The combination of the two opposing facing belt rails 6, 6 and the anchor element or elements 10 thereat and therealong constitute a lading retention device or apparatus 12.
With reference now to FIGS. 2-4, the lading retention apparatus 12 can be seen in greater detail where each companion rail belt 6 comprises a single bent plate or member 13 that is somewhat Z-shaped and has an outer or post engaging flat plate portion or flange 14 that is welded against the post 4, a bent or outwardly sloped intermediate flat plate portion 16, and an outer free end flat plate portion 18 that is spaced away from the post 4. The free end plate portion 18 has a plurality of lug receiving apertures 20. It is noted that there are a plurality of sets of two such plates 13, 13 that face each other such that their outer raised free end portions 18 face one another while the outer end portions 14 face outwardly away from one another and the facing end portions 18 define the aforesaid narrow longitudinally extending space or slot 8 between them. These sets of rails 6, 6 are spaced vertically of one another and extend lengthwise of the car in horizontal orientation. The anchor members 10 are trapped by these sets of rails 6, 6, each anchor member having a round or disc shaped base part 22 from which extends ashaft part 24 that extends in the space or slot between the adjacent rails 6, 6 of a set. The shaft part 24 extends be yond and outwardly of the free end-parts 18 of the rails 6 while the base part 22 is entrained or trapped by the rail raised parts-l8 which form a pocket 26 for the base plate 22. The base part 22 and the shaft part 24 are allowed to move longitudinally of the car in the pocket 26 but cannot be separated from the pocket or lost from the rails 6. The outer end of each shaft part 24 is pivotally attached to a belt engaging, holding and guiding part or hook 28 which has a shaft part 30 pivotally attached to shaft part 24, and a belt coupling part 32 with an elongated slot 34 therein'for entrapping the lading strap or fiberglass belt 36 therein but letting the belt 36 move through the slot 34 if desired. The anchor base part 22 is provided with four lugs or projection parts or embossments 38 each spaced 90 from the .other and complementally engaging the two 180 spaced holes 20 of adjacent cooperating rails 6, 6 of a set. It is seen that the anchor base 22 can be rotated at 90 intervals to assume the position of the upper part of FIG. 3 or the lower part of FIG. 3, depending whether it is desired to have the flat webbing of the belt 36 to extend vertically around a package or horizontally with other belt to act as a vertical load support for a package.
As seen in FIGS. 3 and 5, a ladingprotector angle plate or stamping 40 may be placed at the corner of a lading package 42. The plate 40 has plate portions 44, 46 at right angles to another and has strap guides or blocks 48. FIGS. 6 and 7 show an anchor 10a like anchor 10 except the shaft 24a .of anchor 10a does not have a pivotal lading strap hook or retainer 28, but a fixed strap retainer 28a and the shaft 24a is bent or angled so as to be closer to its base 22a so as to not be an obstacle in the freight compartment but close to the compartment wall 2.
FIG. 8 shows buckle means 50 for coupling together the ends of straps 36, 36 and includes a hook 52, catch have the disclosure before them will be able to make modifications and variations therein without departing from the scope of the invention.
