ABSTRACT:
A load retainer assembly for bracing loads in a load containing vehicle including a pair of shoes each adapted to receive the ends of a wooden bracing member, e.g., a wooden two-by-four, a pair of end plates, one end plate being attached directly to one of the shoes, and a screw adjustably connecting the other end plate to the other shoe. When the ends of the wooden bracing member are placed in the shoes, movement of the screw extends the overall distance between the end plates whereby the load retainer may be mounted in the load container vehicle with the wooden bracing member extending between the opposed side walls of the vehicle and across the load and being held firmly in place by the engagement of the end plates with the opposed side walls of the vehicle. The load retainer may be removed from its bracing position in the vehicle by adjustment of the screw to decrease the distance between the end plates to remove the compressive force on the bracing member and in turn the force on the end plates holding them against the vehicle side walls.
