  • SAFETY SHEET SYSTEM FOR SECURING CARGO LOADS IN CARGO CONTAINERS
    Publication number: 20040047702
    Abstract: A safety sheet cargo tie-down system comprises a substantially rectangular safety sheet, and four securing straps which are fixedly secured to corner regions of the substantially rectangular safety sheet upon the forwardly disposed surface thereof. The securing straps are effectively brought around such corner regions to the rearwardly disposed surface so as to form a pair of securing straps arranged within a criss-crossed X-shaped array or arrangement. Each pair of securing straps has a slip-type fastener fixedly secured upon one free end portion of one of the securing straps, and the free end portion of the other one of the securing straps is passed through such fastener. In this manner, as each pair of securing straps is tightened, the safety sheet is properly secured with respect to cargo load barrels or drums.
