ABSTRACT:
An anchor of the butterfly type for selectively connecting a strap, rope, chain, cable, or other device to a slotted cargo track includes two identical halves unattached to each other. Each half includes a back plate from which a foot extends under a flange on the track. The back plate is thicker than the foot. In one embodiment, lateral motion of the anchor within the track is limited by the edges of the slot in the track, while in another embodiment lateral motion of the anchor within the track is limited by contact of the toe of the foot against an undercut portion of the track underlying one of the flanges of the track. A pedestal arising from the foot engages one of the concave portions of the edge of a flange of the track to limit movement of the anchor along the track.
