Abstract
A mounting device has a base portion which is fixedly attached to a cargo load to be supported on a track having spaced apart cutout portions which are connected to each other by lip portions. The mounting device has spaced apart tension lugs which fit within the spaced cutout portions of the track. The mounting device further has a post and arms which fit within track cutout and lip portions. Attached to the tension lugs is a connector member for slidably connecting the tension lugs to the base portion. A pin member is installed in the base portion, this pin member preventing the tension lugs from being withdrawn from the base portion. A screw is installed in the base member, which retains the tension lugs in a fixed position when tightened down into a notch formed in the connector member. In installing the cargo in the track, the connector member is slidably withdrawn from the base member along with the tension lugs and the cargo placed in position on the track with the tension lugs and post of the mounting device installed in cutout portions of the track. The connector member is then slidably installed fully in the base member with the tension lugs underneath lip portions of the track. The screw is then tightened down into the notch to retain the tension lugs in the installed position.
