A bucket holding assembly for securing a bucket in bed of a truck includes a truck has a bed and a tailgate hingedly attached to the bed. A holding unit is provided and the holding unit is positionable on the bed. The holding unit has a pair of grips which each grip the bed thereby inhibiting the holding unit from sliding in the bed. The holding unit has a receiver for insertably receiving a bucket for securing the bucket on the bed.

A vehicular cargo restraint assembly includes a support platform. A plurality of panels are each movably coupled to the support platform. Each of the panels is independently movable between a first position wherein the panel is flat against the support platform, and a second position wherein the panel is offset from the support platform and configured to prevent the movement of cargo within a vehicle cabin.

The present invention is modular truck bed mounting apparatus and kit therefor. The apparatus comprises a length of E-track, a first tube, a plurality of second tubes, and a plurality of fasteners. The apparatus is preferably mounted to the head wall of a pickup truck bed and is useful in quickly and easily securing objects thereto.

The present invention is modular offset mounting apparatus for use in efficiently and densely removeably mounting objects comprising a structure having a plurality of spring E-fittings on a first side and an E-track section on a second side. The modular offset mounting apparatus is adapted such that the spring E-fittings of the modular offset mounting apparatus may be removeably engaged to a section of E-track that is fastened to a structure such as a truck bed and such that at least one spring E-fitting such as a spring E-fitting connected to a wheel chock is removeably engaged to the length of E-track of the modular offset mounting apparatus. By so mounting the modular offset mounting apparatus, objects such as motorcycles may be more densely positioned and mounted such as in a bed of a pickup truck.

An apparatus and method for providing a self-activating stop device at the back of a hauling trailer for a boat. The apparatus is a compact, lightweight and durable U-shaped housing having a retractable stop element pivotably positioned therein. Through-holes in the housing permit the apparatus to be quickly and easily secured to bunkers or other framing at the trailer back end. The U-shaped housing's top surface can be easily aligned with the top surface of the bunk or framing while the stop element is biased in an upright position. When the boat is lifted out of the water and slid onto the bunker or framing, the boat's presence pivots the stop element down into the housing and once the transom of the boat passes over the stop element, the stop element self-activates, pivoting upward acting as a stop against the transom, thereby preventing the boat from sliding back off of the trailer.

A cargo restraining system for use in a trunk or cargo area of a vehicle includes at least one restraining unit. The restraining unit comprises a bottom panel, a face panel, and a back panel. The bottom panel and the face panel are hingedly attached together along adjacent edges. The back panel is hingedly attached to face panel along the edge opposite that to which the bottom panel is hingedly attached. The restraining unit can be erected from a flat configuration wherein the three panels are substantially coplanar with each other to an upstanding operational or functional configuration. In the upstanding configuration, the bottom panel sits on a surface, the face panel is pivoted upwardly to extend vertically from the surface, and the back panel is hinged downwardly at an angle and its free edge is attached to the free edge of the bottom panel.

A mobility securement system, and method configured to secure a wheelchair or other mobility device, and its passenger, within a public or private vehicle. In various embodiments, the system includes one or two attachment members, one or two vehicle anchor assemblies and, potentially, at least one fixed or moveable bumper, and may further include a barrier. A tensioning assembly is operably connected to at least one attachment member and vehicle anchor assembly. One or more moveable bumpers are configured to articulate to apply a force against the mobility device, and one attachment member may be hidden behind a stored position of a moveable bumper.

A cargo management system includes a support, having a plurality of receivers, a key, including a tongue that may be inserted into one receiver of the plurality of receivers and a locking mechanism releasably securing the key to the support and the tongue in the receiver. A first point of a strap is captured between the tongue and the receiver and extended over the cargo to be transported. A second key is then inserted into a second receiver to secure a second point of the strap and thereby hold the cargo in position on the support.

A securing apparatus for a container being transported, with the container having four side walls and two end walls with the side walls and end walls meeting at edges that intersect at eight corners with each corner being the convergence of three edges. The apparatus having a container stabilizing base and a strap securing base. The container stabilizing base having a first L-shaped arm extending along a first edge of the container, a second L-shaped arm extending along a second edge of the container and a third L-shaped arm extending along a third edge of the container. The first, second and third L-shaped arms are interconnected such the container stabilizing base in positioned about and against one of the eight corners. The L-shaped arms having two legs which are configured to be positioned against two adjected container walls. The strap securing base is affixed to the container stabilizing base. The strap securing base having a plurality of guide walls extending along opposing peripheral edges of the strap securing base to define a strap receiving channel together with the strap securing base for receiving a securing strap.
