ABSTRACT:
A tie-down apparatus is disclosed herein having a composite overlying double track on which a car is slideably carried on the topmost track and securement fasteners carried in the lowermost track secure the double track to a supporting rail or truck bed. The car includes a spring-biased plunger having an enlarged head adapted to ride in the uppermost track during positioning of the car along its linear length and to seat in a selected one of a plurality of notches in the rails of the uppermost track for releasably retaining the car in the selected location. The plunger mounts a rotatable ring latch having a first position bearing against the car to prevent displacement of the plunger head from the selected notch and a second position in alignment with lateral car recesses to permit displacement of the head from the selected notch against spring expansion pressure to free the car for sliding along the track.
