ABSTRACT:
A restraining apparatus particularly intended to function as a brace for securing the doors of containerized cargo. The containers carried by a transporting vehicle such as a railway flatcar are characterized by end doors that are commonly subjected to forcible opening by trespassers intent upon pilferage. The apparatus, in its preferred embodiment, is positioned hingedly to the freight car floor and may readily be folded downwardly to a stowed position. The apparatus comprises a base member and an upstanding member integrally attached thereto. A forward biasing component extends between the base member and the supporting floor for forcibly directing the upstanding member against the containerized doors.
