ABSTRACT:
The specification discloses a clamp assembly for attachment to a truck vehicle bed having rectangular openings therein. A rectangular housing is dimensioned to be received within the vehicle bed opening. Flanges are attached to the housing to position the housing within the opening. A rigid elongate member is slidably received in an aperture formed in the top of the housing. A lock plate that is longer than the width of the opening is attached to the lower end of the elongate member and is rotatable within the housing between first and second positions. In the first position, the lock plate is aligned with the housing. In the second position, the lock plate is oriented across the width of the housing to prevent withdrawal of the housing from the opening. Inclined slots are formed in the sides of the housing to accommodate the lock plate during rotation between the first and second positions and in order to cam the lock plate upwardly during rotation into the second position. A nut on the elongate member may be tightened in order to maintain the lock plate in the second position to lock the housing in the opening.
