ABSTRACT:
A tie down assembly for use in securing one object to another, such as a camper to a truck, the tie down assembly including a specially configurated anchor member rigidly secured to a surface and having a head spaced from the surface by a diametrally reduced neck portion. A bracket member is provided with an interlock slot configurated to permit removable attachment of the bracket member to the anchor member only when the interlock slot in the bracket member is oriented in a predetermined complementary way with respect to the special configuration of the camper anchor. Once attached to the anchor member, the bracket member may be freely rotated with respect to the anchor member but can be removed only when properly aligned. The bracket member is provided with a coupling means to receive a camper tie down turnbuckle or the like and because the bracket is rotatable upon the anchor, the bracket will automatically assume direct alignment with the turnbuckle and cannot become inadvertently detached from the anchor member while the tensioning force is exerted through the coupling to the bracket.
