Definitions
- Loads on railway cars need to be restrained from shifting under the various loads imposed by draft, buff, and rocking of the car.
- loads such as large rolls or coils of sheet material, or palletized loads
- tensioning mechanisms using straps and anchors are advantageous.
- the invention relates generally to the improvement in lading tie anchor systems for railway cars.
- Prior art is specific to a particular type of strap, hook, pin or anchor fitting and is limited to its own inherent arrangement.
- the invention combines several distinct elements into an improved cargo lading tie anchor system so as to offer the user more versatility in securing cargo.
- This novel multipurpose anchor has multiple provisions and adapted to receive various different types of straps and cargo lading tie hardware that correspond to their particular attachment features.
- the invention also provides a lading tie anchor system and method of using the same which can use various lading tie straps, bands, strap end pin or strap end hooks already in use and practice with various railway cars.
- the anchor fitting is mountable in a wall, deck or support of a vehicle so that the fitting can be adapted to different load conditions including a different mix of lading.
- U.S. Patent 6,422,794 teaches a cargo snugger strap and hook mechanism with an anchor with a "L" shaped aperture, where said system is dependant upon cargo straps and hook mechanism tailored to fit the specific "L" shaped aperture anchor.
- the disclosure in this patent is incorporated by reference in the instant application as if fully set forth herein.
- U.S. Patent 6,402,446 teaches a lading tie anchor system with a strap and a specific rigid hook body that respectively is retained and dependant upon a specifically shaped tie anchor aperture.
