Benefits of technology

[0018] An additional object is to provide a container securing system that is affordable and scalable.
[0019] A further object is to provide a container securing system that securely retains awkward containers within a vehicle or trailer.
[0020] Another object is to provide a container securing system that allows for the secure transportation of containers storing hazardous materials.
[0021] A further object is to provide a container securing system that reduces the amount of shifting of containers during transporting thereby reducing damage to the vehicle and containers.

Problems solved by technology

To comply with DOT regulations, many individuals transporting barrels must install fixed racks to support the barrels which is expensive and reduces the flexibility of vehicle usage.
While these devices may be suitable for the particular purpose to which they address, they are not as suitable for providing secure anchoring of containers upon a truck or trailer.
Conventional tie-down straps do not securely retain a container within a truck or trailer.

Embodiment Construction

[0032] Turning now descriptively to the drawings, in which similar reference characters denote similar elements throughout the several views, FIGS. 1 through 6 illustrate a container securing system 10, which comprises a perimeter strap 20, a first cross strap 30 secured across opposing portions of the perimeter strap 20, a second cross strap 40 secured across opposing portions of the perimeter strap 20 traverse to the first cross strap 30, and a plurality of securing members 50 attached to the distal ends of the cross straps for receiving a corresponding plurality of securing straps 18. The perimeter strap 20 is formed to snugly fit about an upper portion of a container 16 in an upright position. The distal portions of the cross straps extend a finite distance from the perimeter strap 20 and are secured upon themselves with the securing members 50 retained within.

[0033] As shown in FIGS. 1, 3 and 4 of the drawings, a perimeter strap 20 is provided that may be positioned upon the u...

Abstract

A container securing system for providing secure anchoring of containers upon a truck or trailer. The container securing system includes a perimeter strap, a first cross strap secured across opposing portions of the perimeter strap, a second cross strap secured across opposing portions of the perimeter strap traverse to the first cross strap, and a plurality of securing members attached to the distal ends of the cross straps for receiving a corresponding plurality of securing straps. The perimeter strap is formed to snugly fit about an upper portion of a container in an upright position. The distal portions of the cross straps extend a finite distance from the perimeter strap and are secured upon themselves with the securing members retained within.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001] Not applicable to this application. STATEMENT REGARDING FEDERALLY SPONSORED RESEARCH OR DEVELOPMENT [0002] Not applicable to this application. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0003] 1. Field of the Invention [0004] The present invention relates generally to container securing devices and more specifically it relates to a container securing system for providing secure anchoring of containers upon a truck or trailer. [0005] 2. Description of the Related Art [0006] Securing devices for securing containers have been in use for years. Tie down straps are the most common type of securing device utilized for securing containers within the bed of a truck or upon a trailer. However, Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations require a more secure method of securing containers without anchor locations such as but not limited to barrels. Barrels typically have a cylindrical structure as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 of the drawings. The barrels have an u...
