ABSTRACT:
A connector for use in the securement of a first member, such as a cargo container, to a base support includes a base member, a post member extending from the base member in one direction and an attaching means for attaching the connector to the base support extending from the base member in the other direction. Restraining means provides vertical restraint to the container when the post member is positioned to extend into the opening of the web of the corner casting thereof and the container is restrained from movement in at least one horizontal direction. In one form, a restraining surface for the container is located on a cam pivotally mounted by the post member and in a second form, a restraining surface for the container is on the post member itself. The cam of the first form is pivotally mounted so that in response to lifting movement, the cam is rotated about its axis to act upon the web portion to impart a force horizontally whereby the container, in unloading, follows a path similar to that in loading. In the second form, a plunger, under a force of compression of a spring, acts on the web portion to provide a similar function.
