LOAD RESTRAINING CROSSBAR

A crossbar for restraining lading in a transport vehicle. A slide is pivotally connected to one end of the bar. The slide is movable along a guide rail which extends horizontally along one side wall of the cargo space. Means are provided which prevent removal of the slide from the guide rail. A second rail extends along the opposite wall of the cargo space. In active position the bar extends across the cargo space between the two rails. A latch bolt is mounted in each end of the bar and in active position each bolt is received in a selected one of a series of apertures formed in the corresponding rail. The bar may be swung to a storage position in which it lies along the side wall of the cargo space.
