ABSTRACT:
A support surface or deck (12), and in particular the upper-most support platform (20), of a traveler or cart (10) securely transports television monitors, audio-visual recording or playback equipment, projectors, or other heavy or bulky articles (14). The support surface includes an adjustable safety strap (20) secured to slidable and lockable anchoring devices (24) in a guide channel (26) recessed in a groove (28) in the support surface. The top surface (34) of the guide channel is flush with the deck. A pair of safety strap anchoring devices (24) enter and slide along the length of the guide channel. Each anchoring device is attached to an opposing end (22) of the safety strap which is looped over to secure or harness the article being transported. Each anchor has a set screw (44) for immobilizing the anchor at any desired position within the guide channel and an eyelet (38) with stem (40) for cinching one end of the safety strap thereto with a single bar slide (54). The safety strap may be formed of more than one sub-strap (56) which may be joined by a variety of devices including a ladder lock (58) including a bar slide (54). The strap may also include a keeper (60) for neatly retaining excess strap.
