In a rotary tube locking mechanism, the rotary tube itself is bent to form a controlled bulge. The guide plate cooperates with this controlled bulge to provide an anti-racking function.

Method of forming a bulge in the rotary tube of a locking mechanism

A hanger which supports a temporary deck in an intermodal container. The hanger is removably secured to a ledge, which is part of the container, and extends downwardly toward the floor. One set of hangers is placed along each wall and the temporary deck is extended between them. The hanger itself includes a hook end and a link pivotally secured to a lower position. The link pivotally carries the hanger strap that extends down the wall. The hook end fits over the top of the ledge while the link contacts it on the bottom in a pliers-like grip. As vertical force is placed upon the hanger strap, the grip of the hook end and link increases.
