ABSTRACT:
A fastener for securing a cargo container includes a hollow connector, a first pull rod, a second pull rod and an elastic element. The hollow connector includes first and second members provided with first and second bores, respectively, and a receiving cavity between the first and second end members. The first pull rod extends through the first bore into the cavity, while the second pull rod extends through the second bore into the cavity and has a retaining head attached thereto. The elastic element is disposed around the second pull rod between the second end member and the retaining head for biasing the retaining head to move away from the second end member. The receiving cavity is open to expose the elastic element and the retaining head. The fastener may further include a limiting unit to prevent distorted movement of, and a pressure-equalizing member to evenly distribute pressure on, the elastic element.
