ABSTRACT:
A cargo control restraint shield for use in the container of a trailer truck for weather protection of the cargo, compartmentalization of the cargo and for restraining the cargo and holding it in place. Cables are secured within the container at the upper and lower corners thereof so as to extend from the rear to the front of the container in a taut fashion. Clamps are received on the cables and are movable thereon from front to rear of the container. A flexible rectangular sheet of vinyl material has hooks mounted at the four corners thereof. Two of the hooks are secured to the clamps and two are secured to the lower cables. The clamps lock on the cables against movement of the vinyl sheet away from the cargo but may be released by long levers which hang downwardly from the cables. Long handles are attached to the hooks which are secured to the clamps and may be used to lift the hooks off of the clamps or to place the hooks on the clamps. The vinyl sheet may have extensions on the sides thereof which also have hooks for mounting on the clamps and cables. Alternative embodiments include a pair of overlying hooks instead of a single hook and a restraint shield which extends around a corner from a transverse to a longitudinal position relative to the container.
