Abstract
A curtain-type lading-restraining device for use in lading-carrying containers which employs decking which is positionable above the floor of the container so as to provide two surfaces for supporting cargo. The lading-restraining curtain includes an upper curtain assembly for positioning above the decking and for cooperation with the cargo on the decking. The upper curtain assembly is suspended from a trolley positioned adjacent the ceiling of the vehicle container. Track channels are provided in each of the sidewalls below the decking for supporting the lower curtain. Sliders are positioned in each of the channels for longitudinal movement therein and for supporting the lower curtain. The lower curtain is connected to the slider through a link chain system and can be positioned to engage cargo on the floor of the container. One end of the support chain includes a detachable hook so that one end of the lower curtain can be stored on the opposite side of the container.
