Abstract:
The present invention is directed to a load restraining system and method for securing cargo within a transport container, which is subject to shifting forces. A system includes first and second load restraining strips that cab be self-adhered onto interior wall surfaces of a transport container and extend across cargo within the container. The first load restraining strip has a first adhesive element, which can engage an interior wall surface, and a second adhesive element on a second side, which can engage a surface of cargo to be restrained. A second load restraining strip has a third adhesive element on a first side, which engage an interior wall surface of the container. A fourth adhesive element connected to one of the load restraining strips is operable to secure the two load restraining strips together. A method for securing cargo within a transport container includes providing first and second load restraining strips having adhesive elements, attaching each load restraining strip to internal wall surfaces of a transport container, wrapping the free ends of the load restraining strips around cargo to be restrained, and mutually securing the load restraining strips across cargo.
Abstract:
A cross-weave load restraint system and method for securing cargo within transport containers including first and second load restraining strips wherein the first strip is formed with a cross-weave material and the second strip is composed of parallel strands of reinforcement materiel. The first and second strips of reinforcement material are secured together with an adhesive layer and a second layer of adhesive is provided for attaching the cross-weave load restraining strip to an interior surface of a transport container.
Abstract:
A laminated load restraint system and method for securing cargo within transport containers including first and second load restraining strips wherein each strip includes a substrate, a first layer of adhesive, a second layer of adhesive, a first layer of reinforcement strands and a second layer of reinforcement strands and a third layer of adhesive for attachment to a transport container interior surface.
Abstract:
A load restraint system for securing cargo within transport containers such as intermodal containers (10), railroad cars, truck trailers, and the like, including first and second load restraining strips (24) with an adhesive coating (30) on at least a portion of one surface of the strips for adherence to sidewalls of a container and a locking and load restraining strip for bonding the free ends of the first and second load restraining strips (24) together into a load restraining system wherein the width of the adhesive portion (30) of the load restraining system is less than the width of the wrap around section of the load restraint system.

Abstract:
A cargo restraint panel may comprise a foam core and one or more side caps covering one or more sides of the foam core. A side cap may protect a side of the foam core covered by the side cap. A side cap may comprise a ridge that allows the side cap to compress.
Abstract:
A cargo restraint panel may include a foam component. That foam component may have at least one polymer foam sheet. A front facing material may be bonded to and substantially cover a front face of the foam component. A rear facing material may be bonded to and substantially cover a rear face of the foam component. The cargo restraint panel may include one or more edge guards. Cargo may be secured in a railcar or other conveyance by, e.g., placing cargo restraint panels between cargo units.

A cargo restraint panel may include a foam component. That foam component may have at least one polymer foam sheet. A front face fibrous reinforcing material may be bonded to and substantially cover a front face of the foam component. A rear face fibrous reinforcing material may be bonded to and substantially cover a rear face of the foam component. The cargo restraint panel may include one or more edge guards. Cargo may be secured in a railcar or other conveyance by, e.g., placing cargo restraint panels between cargo units.
Abstract:
A set of load restraint strips may be detachably joined by splice panels. Each of the load restraint strips may include a base layer comprising a base layer material, a reinforcement layer comprising a reinforcing material fixed relative to the base layer material, and an attachment layer comprising an adhesive material layer extending less than an entire length of the load restraint strip.
Abstract:
A working portion of load restraint strip may include an attachment region. The attachment layer may include an adhesive layer. When the adhesive layer is exposed, at least part of the attachment region on an exterior side of the load restraint strip is colored differently from regions on the exterior side outside the attachment region.
