ABSTRACT:
A load securing device for holding cargo within trucks against shifting during motion of the truck. The device is considered to be a "load lock" in that it extends from one side wall of the truck to the other, being installed against the surface defined by the cargo. The device has telescoping rods such that a gross overall length can be preset, this length being less than that dimension of the truck. Final adjustment of the length is provided through the use of a pinion gear engaged with a rack. The pinion gear is a complete circle, and the rack has a length at least sufficient to accommodate such a complete revolution of the pinion gear. A handle is provided to achieve rotation of the pinion gear, and a toothed wheel and cog are used to maintain the position of the pinion-rack engagement when the device is firmly in place within the truck. The device is easily removed by disengaging the cog, and rotating the pinion gear in the opposite direction. No springs are utilized in the mechanism for final adjustment of length, and the structure is sufficiently rugged so as to withstand considerable abuse.
