Abstract
A cargo fastening belt is provided with a detachable end metal fitting so that different types of end metal fittings can be provided for a single type of cargo fastening belt. A rail engaging metal fitting that is attached to one end of a cargo fastening belt is adapted to be detachably engaged with a slot in a rial for fastening cargo. The detachable end metal fitting is thus detachably attached to the rail engaging metal fitting by the provision of a slot in a metal fitting main body for connection with the rail engaging metal fitting. Alternatively, the cargo fastening belt may have a ring portion at one end thereof, and the detachable end metal fitting may be detachably attached to the ring portion. The detachable end metal fitting then has an engaging body for engaging a mating member when fastening cargo, a shackle with opposite side plate portions mounted on a proximal end portion of the engaging body and a supporting shaft extending through the ring portion of the cargo fastening belt supported by the opposite side plate portions of the shackle. Preferably, the supporting shaft comprises a bolt that extends through and between the side plate portions, the bolt being secured by a nut at one end thereof.
