The disclosed safety device helps prevents the dog from falling from, being thrown from, or jumping from the back of a pickup truck by securing them with a safely attached net to the truck racks. The net grids (openings) are sized to either allow or prevent the dog from getting just their heads through the net. The net is easily removable for tall cargo and it also allows you to carry cargo that normally needs to be secured to the truck bed itself or in a truck with a cap. The cargo can be such as; commercial and residential construction material, yard debris, and sporting goods.

Apparatus for covering product containers loaded in a cargo container is disclosed. The apparatus includes an automated cord reel including a spool and a motor configured to drive the spool. The spool when activated reels in a cord attached to a cargo blanket to spread the cargo blanket over product containers in the cargo container in a smooth motion and/or relatively constant speed to prevent snagging on the product containers. The automated cord reel may be configured as a mobile unit with wheels. A brake system may be provided to prevent movement of the automated cord reel during operation. The automated cord reel may have a battery to provide electric power to the motor. A magnetic floor brake may be configured to hold a cart body in a selected position.

A load securing bag for a pickup truck comprises a cuboid-shaped bag made of durable weather-resistant material having a single gusset about the side edges of the bag. When not in use, the gusset is secured by a fastening device. There is a plurality of straps which are secured to the bag with each strap having a hook at the distal end of each strap. A bag cover made of nylon webbing also has a plurality of straps having a hook at the distal end of each strap.

A method and a locking assembly for locking a cargo net to a pallet for preventing access to cargo during transportation is disclosed. One example embodiment provides a locking assembly with an anchor, a retaining ring and a cable tie. The anchor includes a base member, a bolt, and a spring. The retaining ring locks to both the cargo net and the base member. The cable tie locks the bolt and the base member together and prevents the bolt from moving from the base member. Such that the anchor is prevented from being removed from the pallet without destroying the anchor or the pallet.

The disclosure relates to an electromagnetic cover for securing cargo, the cover including a plurality of support members arranged to form a support structure for the cover. The electromagnetic cover includes a plurality of electromagnets coupled to the support members, where the electromagnets are electrically coupled to a power source. When the power source is activated, the electromagnets generate a magnetic field to magnetically couple the cover to a surface to secure the cargo. Upon deactivating the power source, the electromagnetic cover can be removed to provide access to the cargo.

A kit for covering a load (18) comprising: a cargo cover (10); a deployment means comprising a base sheet (2) for containing the cargo cover (10) prior to covering the load (18), the base sheet (2) comprising releasable securement means (4) for securing it around the cargo cover (10); and a plurality of cargo cover deployment straps (12, 14).

A cargo restraining system has a frame and a cargo net carried on the frame. The frame and the cargo net are displaceable between a first position partitioning a cargo area from a passenger area of a motor vehicle and a second position overlying cargo supported on a cargo area floor of the motor vehicle. A related method is also disclosed.

The cargo can be such as; commercial and residential construction material, yard debris, and sporting goods.

A selectively openable and closable, outdoor storage bag that is at least water-resistant includes a body portion made of a flexible, waterproof, bag material, the bag material comprising a plurality of waterproof welded seams that define a predetermined shape of the body portion and an opening, the body portion defining an interior space within the body portion; a closure mechanism joined to the body portion by a welded seam proximate a periphery of the opening, the closure mechanism configured to selectively open and close the opening and provide a seal that is at least water-resistant when the opening is closed; a flap of the bag material that extends from the body portion and covers the closure mechanism; and a plurality of anchor points attached to an exterior surface of the body portion, wherein the body portion of the bag is waterproof and the seal is at least water-resistant.

A retractable safety restraint device includes an inner core, a spring disposed around the inner core and having a relaxed condition and an stretched condition, an outer shaft disposed around the spring, a housing disposed around the outer shaft, the outer shaft being rotatable within the housing, a moveable member translatable relative to the housing, and a body coupled to the outer shaft at a first end, and to the moveable member at a second end, the body having a length from the first end to the second end, and a width perpendicular to its length, the width of the body being approximately equal to a height of the housing, the body being wrapped around the outer shaft when the spring is in the relaxed condition.
