US Classification:

24823161

Abstract:

A cargo restraint anchor device that attaches at various positions along the top of the side rail of a pick-up truck cargo box and which can be configured and positioned to accommodate a variety of different types of cargo restraining apparatus. The anchor device comprises; an L-bracket, a C-bracket, and a bolt assembly that draws the brackets together. The L-bracket can be reversibly mounted. The L-bracket has an elongated vertical slot through which the barrel of the bolt protrudes. The elongated vertical slot also engages a tab on the lower portion of the C-bracket thereby maintaining alignment between the two brackets and allows the C-bracket to be positioned vertically with respect to the L-bracket. The L-bracket has one or more holes for the attachment of cargo restraining apparatus and/or accessories. The vertically adjustable C-bracket is adaptably capable of receiving the threaded end of the bolt.

International Classification:

US Classification:

Abstract:

A military weapon system consists of six major components; a weapon that impacts a target from the air, a video sensor/transmitter attached to the weapon, a tow line that connects the weapon and the video sensor/transmitter, a brake assembly, a remote receiver/recorder, and a transmission activation device. Following launch of the weapon by its air or ground based launch apparatus, the video sensor/transmitter is released from the weapon into the air stream surrounding the weapon and immediately moves aft due to aerodynamic drag forces. The tow line and brake assembly restrain the aft movement of the video sensor/transmitter causing it to achieve a position that is aft of and in trail behind the weapon. Immediately following weapon impact, a signal containing video imagery is transmitted to the remote receiver/recorder to enable post strike analysis of the weapon point-of-impact, weapon detonation, and initial target damage.
