ABSTRACT:
A load-restraining device is disclosed herein for use in lading-carrying vehicles, such as truck trailers. The device includes a curtain which is adjustably suspended from an overhead support that extends laterally across the top of the trailer and is mounted for longitudinal movement therein. The curtain includes laterally-extending pockets, each of which carries a load-restraining belt. Belt hooks on opposite ends of each belt cooperate with belt rails in the sidewalls of the trailer and a belt tensioner or buckle is provided at the center of each belt.
The pockets on the curtain are positioned on the side of the curtain opposite the lading-engaging face, so as to maximize the strength of the curtain and are in a manner which inhibits removal of the belts and reduces pilferage.
A pair of corner flaps are provided for positioning between the lading and sidewalls so as to restrain lateral movement or bunching of the curtain, and vertical corner protectors are also provided for shielding the lading from the restraining belts as they wrap around the corner edges of the lading adjacent each of the sidewalls of the vehicle.
In intercity or over-the-road service, a plurality of identical load-restraining devices can be used to separate the lading into sections.
