Filed:

Aug 3, 1987

Appl. No.:

7/080667

Inventors:

Bernard L. Robinson - Coleman MI
George L. Pickard - Beaverton MI

Assignee:

Homestead Products, Inc. - Coleman MI

International Classification:

B62D 3300

US Classification:

296 392

Abstract:

A fastener especially adapted for securing a liner in a pickup truck cargo box and having a bolster at the upper ends of its walls provided with flanges at its inner edge. The fastener comprises a rotatable bolt having a head at one end and an anchor member at its other end through which the bolt threadedly extends. The anchor member may be rotated with the bolt but is of such length as to engage the lower surface of the bolster after limited rotation, thereby enabling continued rotation of the bolt to cause the liner to be clamped between the bolt head, the bolster flange, and the anchor member. The construction is such that securing of a liner in a cargo box requires no openings to be formed in the walls of the cargo box.
