ABSTRACT:
End caps for insertion into the ends of a tie-down track of the type used to secure cargo, wheelchairs and the like typically to the floor of a vehicle. The end caps are curved and permit the easy insertion of an assembly of the tie-down track and end caps into a routed groove in the floor. Preferably the end caps and the tie-down track have a beveled flange so that the resulting installed track has a smooth transition from the floor surface to the track surface. With the end caps of the present invention, there is no need to square off the ends of a routed groove.
