ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to a brace for less than full load cargo in trucks, vans or other vehicles. It effectively prevents the cargo from shifting around in the vehicles, while at the same time it is easily removable and readily collapsible into a relatively small package for easy carrying and storage. Longitudinal side rails and lateral arms are extensible via a ratchet mechanism to fit any size cargo area. Similarly, the height of the brace is adjustable by varying the length of the legs which bear upon the cargo area floor. The use of legs to support the cargo brace eliminates the need for any springs in the side rails and lateral arms, thereby preventing them from damaging the vehicle walls and enabling it to be easily removed. Although designed and intended specifically for use in pick-up trucks of all dimensions, the cargo brace may also be used in boats, airplanes, trains or any other cargo transporting device.
