ABSTRACT:
A freight bracing device such as a cross bar embodying an improved end fitting that permits attachment to either of two types of belt rails. In one type of belt rail which has an angular configuration with perforations along the horizontally extending portion, the end fitting has a first portion that enters into the perforations to fix the cross bar against longitudinal movement. A sliding latch is engageable under the horizontal leg to prevent vertical disengagement. The other type of belt rail has a vertically upstanding leg spaced from the adjacent side wall and another vertical portion in which longitudinally spaced apertures are formed. The first portion of the end fitting is adapted to be supported on and received behind the upstanding leg of this type of belt rail to prevent transverse disengagement. A pivoted latch has a portion that is adapted to enter into the apertures of this second type of belt rail to hold the end fitting against vertical and longitudinal displacement.
