A cargo assembly arranged vertically on one of the side panels of a vehicle trunk may include a spool including a roll arranged between two caps, a net configured to be wound around a spool, and a rod arranged on an end of the net and including at least one cargo hook configured to engage with a vehicle hook arranged on a side of a trunk opposite the spool.

A mobile apparatus is used to distribute a tarp over a cargo loaded onto a trailer bed. An arch-shaped structure employing a pair of side members is mounted to a travel unit including a pair of carriage devices. Each carriage device is mounted for travel on an associated rail located at one of the sides of the trailer bed. Each side member is mounted to the pair of carriage devices at a respective pair of releasable pivot joints each located at one of the opposing ends of the side member. Each side member is available to pivot when the set of pivot joints associated with the other, non-pivoting side member is temporarily disabled. A pair of linear actuators drivingly coupled to the pair of side members is used to create a turning moment and induce the pivoting action.

A cargo management system includes a cargo anchor including a body extending between first and second ends and defining a hook profile along a first plane perpendicular to an axis extending between the first and second ends and a closed loop profile along a second plane parallel to the axis. The system further includes a substrate having an attachment feature with a first portion coupleable with the anchor profile and a second portion coupleable with the loop profile.

A tarpaulin fastening device includes a support frame for support of one or more winch/spool assemblies and associated interconnecting line cord while being removably attached to a flat bed trailer using compression. The interconnecting line cord is extracted/retracted from/to its respective winch/spool assembly through a keeper mechanism. The interconnecting line cord is woven through eyelets of one or more connection pins and terminated with an anchoring mechanism. Once extracted from the winch/spool assembly, the interconnecting line cord is anchored to a flatbed trailer using the anchor mechanism and each connection pin is alternatingly connected to connection points along a length of tarp covering a payload supported by the flatbed and to connection points along a length of the flatbed trailer. Once the interconnecting line cord is anchored and connected to the tarp and flatbed, the tarp is secured onto the payload by actuation of the gear assembly.

This invention relates to a loop structure (7) comprising at least two elements (1), wherein each element (1) comprises at least one loop (5) that interlocks with at least one loop (5) of an additional element (1). In accordance with the invention, it is proposed that each of the elements (1) has a multiple number of strands (2), at least partially made of flexible material, wherein the strands (2) of the element (1) are processed in a textile-like manner into at least two webs that are spaced apart from each other in the longitudinal direction of the element (1); in particular, they are braided, woven, knitted and/or enmeshed, and the strands (2) are divided into sections and each part is processed in a textile-like manner into a wing (4), wherein at least two wings (4) connect two of the webs (3) to each other and the loops (5) are formed from the wings (4). Furthermore, the invention relates to a method for producing a loop structure (7) as described above and an element (1) that has a loop (5).

A tarp apparatus includes a bendable and foldable heavy duty tarp designed to cover the exposed end of receiver boxes and waste haulers to keep refuse in during transit. The tarp apparatus folds for easy storage, is made of heavy duty geotextile or any pliable material, and is reinforced with webbing for strength, with grommets and loops for additional attachment points. In addition, attached webbing and hooks easily secure the tarp apparatus to receiver boxes and/or waste hauler trucks while attached cam buckles or ratchets tight the tarp apparatus securely to the receiver boxes and/or waste haulers.

A restraining device securable to anchors, the restraining device comprising: a flexible net defining a net peripheral edge; a peripheral cable secured to the net at the net peripheral edge; and a plurality of attachments for anchoring the peripheral cable to the anchors.

A device is provided for fastening a catch net (9) to secure a load in a vehicle in a motor vehicle with a loading region (3) that is substantially open to a passenger region (4). Fastening eyes (10, 11, 12, 13) for the secured fastening of the catch net (9) are integrated in the supporting structure in the upper region of the seat backrest (5) and/or of a neck rest (6, 7).

A vehicle compartment includes a first track and a second track spaced from each other, a first beam elongated transverse to and slidable along the first track, a second beam elongated transverse to and slidable along the second track, and a net extending from the first beam to the second beam.
