ABSTRACT:
A cargo tiedown permanently installable to the bed or floor of the cargo area of a pickup truck, trailer, or other vehicle, provides security for relatively thin, flat or narrow articles (e.g., sheet material, pipe, elongate extrusions, etc.) carried on the bed or floor. The tiedowns are preferably installed in pairs, on opposite sides of the floor or bed. The tiedown is monolithically formed of a series of base portions with tiedown loops or bridges extending therebetween. Each of the base portions include at least one fastener passage providing for securing the tiedown to the vehicle cargo floor. Each tiedown may include two or more tiedown loops or bridges, providing for the securing of a rope or other retainer laterally across the floor or bed. The base portions may be hollow, in order to save weight and material, and may include bosses extending through the hollow base portions for greater strength. The device is formed to eliminate sharp edges, in order to better protect any articles with which it might come in contact. Preferably, the fastener holes are countersunk for use with flat head screws, in order to eliminate any protrusion of screw heads from the upper surfaces of the base portions. The main body of the device may be formed of a variety of materials, such as aluminum or steel, either standard or stainless, or even plastic.
