ABSTRACT:
An anchor for detachably securing utility racks to vehicles is provided. A plate made of a strong and flexible material such as stainless steel, aluminum, or synthetic aromatic polyamide is slotted on one end or otherwise provided with means for attachment to the utility rack. A substantial part of the plate is surrounded by fiberglass cloth sheeting contained within a cushioning neoprene envelope and an intermediate polyethylene resin barrier. A thin cushioning layer of neoprene rubber envelops the plate, fiberglass cloth sheeting and polyethylene barrier. Activated resin is introduced into the fiberglass cloth sheeting or a hardening material already in the fiberglass sheeting is activated. The activated resin in the anchor is allowed to harden while the anchor is in a configuration which conforms to an anchor site between a door and a jamb of the vehicle, or at some other location on the vehicle. A permanent, hardened, custom-fitted, and cushioned anchor is provided.
