Cargo control track and fitting
| Details |
Inventors: Holmes, Paul M.;
Assignee: Aeroquip Corporation (Jackson, MI)
Primary Examiner: Reese; Randolph
Assistant Examiner:
Attorney, Agent or Firm: Beaman & Beaman
The invention pertains to a cargo control tack and a fitting for use therewith wherein the fitting is captive to the track. The track is of a generally U configuration having a base attached to a surface of a cargo compartment, parallel legs extend from the base, and the legs terminate in outwardly extending flanges disposed parallel to the base. Aligned notches or indentations are defined within the track at the intersection of the legs and flanges. The fitting is associated with a strap loop, and includes a pair of side plates having a keeper plate located therebetween. The side plates slidably hook upon the track flanges, and the keeper plate is forced into a locking relationship with the track indentations by tension within the strap to fix the fitting upon the track. The flexibility of the strap loop permits the keeper plate to be disengaged from the track notches for adjustment of the fitting along the track. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION I claim: 1.
A cargo track and fitting system comprising, in combination, an elongated track including substantially parallel spaced flanges, each having a terminating edge, an outer surface and an inner surface, a flexible strap having a loop defined therein, a fitting mounted upon said loop, said fitting comprising a pair of side plates each having a loop receiving opening defined therein, a pair of hooks defined upon each side plate each extending over a track flange edge whereby tension within said strap forces said hooks against the associated flange inner surface, a keeper plate located between said side plates having a loop receiving opening defined therein, track engagable friction producing means defined upon said keeper plate, said keeper plate opening being related to said side plates openings such that tension within said loop tending to pull said side plates away from said track forces said keeper plate toward said track causing said friction producing means to engage said track.
2.
In a cargo track and fitting system as in claim 1 said friction producing means comprising a projection defined upon said keeper plate extending toward said track.
3.
In a cargo track and fitting system as in claim 2, at least one indentation defined in said track flanges outer surface, said projection adapted to be received within said indentation upon alignment therewith and tensioning of said strap.
4.
In a cargo track and fitting system as in claim 3 wherein a pair of aligned indentations are defined in said track flanges outer surface, said projection having spaced corners defined thereon, said corners being received within said aligned indentations.
5.
In a cargo track and fitting system as in claim 4, wherein said track includes a pair of spaced leg portions, said flanges being defined upon said leg portions, said indentations being defined upon said flanges outer surface at the intersection of said flanges with the associated leg portion.
6.
In a cargo track and fitting system as in claim 2, a pair of spaced finger gripable extensions defined upon said keeper plate extending beyond the configuration of said side plates to permit manual manipulation of said keeper plate
