ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a tie-down anchor attachable to any location along the side rail of the pickup bed, which anchor includes an L-shaped member having a horizontal leg which extends outwardly across the top of the side rail, and a vertical leg which extends downwards to the inside of the side rail. A tie-down connection member, such as a hook, is attached to the horizontal leg extending upwardly. A hole is formed in the horizontal leg of the L-shaped member between the tie-down connection member and the vertical leg. A U-shaped clamping member has two legs, which define a vertical slot, so that the clamping member may straddle the lip of the side rail, with one leg outside and the other leg beneath the side rail and inside the side rail lip. A vertical hole is formed through the outer leg of the clamping member. A threaded bolt extends through the hole in the horizontal leg of the L-shaped member, through the hole in the outer leg of the clamping member, and is threadingly engaged, so that when the bolt is tightened, the side rail is tightly clamped between the horizontal leg of the L-shaped member and the upper surface of the inner leg of the clamping member, while forcing the inner surface of the vertical leg of the L-shaped member tightly against the outer surface of the outer leg of the clamping member.
