ABSTRACT:
A cargo beam is comprised of an elongated center section and opposed end sections telescopically received within the center section. Each end section is adapted for receiving a mounting plug, whereby the beam can be anchored to opposed walls of a load receptacle, such as a truck body. Each end section includes a pair of tubular members connected by a compression spring. The center section has two sets of apertures in each of the opposed side walls thereof. The innermost tubular member of each end section has an aligned pair of holes in the opposed side walls thereof for being aligned with corresponding apertures in the center section, whereby the corresponding end section can be removably attached to the center section by a pair of spring-loaded detents. The length of the beam is adjustable by varying the depth of penetration of one or both of the end sections into the center section. The spring-loaded detents are easily disengaged when it is desired to change the length of the beam.
