ABSTRACT:
A cargo holding device (A,C) is disclosed for holding cargo in a vehicle bed (12) of a pick-up truck (14). Longitudinal side rails (16) carry the cargo holding device to position the device in the desired longitudinal position along the vehicle bed. The cargo holding device may include an articulated cargo holder (B) having a plurality of segmented cargo braces (26,28,30). The segmented cargo braces may be adjusted and set in a number of pivoted positions relative to each other to assume an angular orientation for holding cargo against movement in two directions. An adjustable index bar (54) may engage a number of index grooves (58) to lock each of a number of locking joints (53). The cargo holding device may also be provided in the form of a brace bar (84) pivoted at the end of a vertical leg (72) which may be adjusted in its vertical and transverse position relative to the vehicle bed. Adjustable clamp blocks (22) allow for adjustment of a transverse member (70) over the vehicle bed and a second slide block clamp (74) positions cargo brace transversely of the vehicle bed. The pivotal cargo brace (84) may be adjusted to a desired angle orientation to hold cargo in a wedged position in the vehicle bed.
