ABSTRACT:
An automatically retractable restraint assembly for vertically restraining a body by engagement with its side. The centerline restraint (10) includes a pair of normally upright positioned inside heads (20), each head having an outwardly extending toggle (76) for engaging the side of a cargo body (14). The inside heads are automatically retractable into the frame (24) upon engagement by the cargo body after the preceding engagement of either of a pair of release wings (30). The inside heads are also spring loaded outwardly along the longitudinal centerline of the centerline restraint to maintain contact between the toggle and the cargo body should it attempt to move out of engagement. A pair of normally upright positioned and automatically retractable outside heads (22) are included to engage a cargo body of lesser widthwise dimension.
