ABSTRACT:
A universal type of end fitting for securing a freight bracing cross bar or the like, selectively to any of a plurality of different types of belt rails. The end fitting is comprised of a first pair of extending projections that are adapted to be alternatively supported on the upper edge of a belt rail leg or to extend through spaced apertures in a vertically extending belt rail leg. A pivoted latching hook is positioned between these projections. This hook is adapted to cooperate with a vertically extending belt rail portion to lock the cross bar against transverse movement relative to the belt rail. The hook also is adapted to extend through apertures in belt rail legs to prevent longitudinal movement. A sliding latch is provided that is adapted to extend through apertures in vertically extending belt rail legs to lock the cross bar against longitudinal movement.
