Abstract: A device for fastening a container to a structure that stores or transports the container. The device has an elongated strip with first and second longitudinally-opposing ends. One end has a hook member and the other has an aperture through which a tie-down member may be extended, or another fastener for attaching a tie-down member or a tightener. The device's hook member may be inserted in a corner casting on an upwardly-facing surface of the container and the tie-down member may extend a first end through the aperture and a second end may be attached to the structure that stores or transports the container. By tightening the tie-down member, the container is drawn tightly against the structure that transports the container, which restrains the container.

Abstract: A fastener for fastening an ISO container to a ship, truck, trailer, another ISO container or other structure. In one embodiment an elongated nut is inserted into an elongated aperture of the ISO container's corner casting, and is rotated 90 degrees to be transverse to the longitudinal axis of the aperture. A threaded shaft is rotated, after being inserted in a slot of a plate mounted to the structure, causing the plate and elongated nut to be drawn closer to one another, thereby clamping the corner casting between the nut and the plate. In another embodiment an elongated nut is inserted into the elongated aperture and is rotated 90 degrees. A line extends from a winch mounted to the structure and is mounted to a loop at the opposite end from the nut. The winch tightens the strap, drawing the loop, nut and, thereby, the container against the structure.
