Modular offset mounting apparatus
The present invention is modular offset mounting apparatus for use in efficiently and densely removeably mounting objects comprising a structure having a plurality of spring E-fittings on a first side and an E-track section on a second side. The modular offset mounting apparatus is adapted such that the spring E-fittings of the modular offset mounting apparatus may be removeably engaged to a section of E-track that is fastened to a structure such as a truck bed and such that at least one spring E-fitting such as a spring E-fitting connected to a wheel chock is removeably engaged to the length of E-track of the modular offset mounting apparatus. By so mounting the modular offset mounting apparatus, objects such as motorcycles may be more densely positioned and mounted such as in a bed of a pickup truck.
1. A modular offset mounting apparatus comprising a base structure, a length of E-track, and at least one spring E-fitting, wherein said E-track is connected to a first side of said base structure and said at least one spring E-fitting is connected to a second side of said base structure, and wherein a spring E-fitting component is spring loadingly and removably engaged to said E-track, and wherein said spring E-fitting component defines at least one of a spring E-fitting welded to a motorcycle chock and a spring E-fitting welded to an E-Track ring.
2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein said second side of said base structure is substantially parallel to and offset a predetermined distance from said first side of said base structure.
3. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein said at least one spring E-fitting device is fastened to said base structure, said spring E-fitting device defining a plate having a plurality of spring E-fittings welded thereto.
4. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein said at least one spring E-fitting is spring loadingly and removably engaged to a piece of E-track that is connected to a second structure.
5. The apparatus of claim 4 , wherein said second structure defines at least one of a truck bed wall, a cargo box wall, and a trailer wall.
6. A modular offset mounting apparatus comprising a substantially hollow tubular base structure having a substantially trapezoidal shaped cross-section, a length of E-track, at least one spring E-fitting, and a plurality of fasteners, wherein said length E-track is fastened to a first side of said base structure, and said at least one spring E-fitting is fastened to a second side of said base structure, and wherein a spring E-fitting component is spring loadingly and removably engaged to said E-track, and wherein said spring E-fitting component defines at least one of a spring E-fitting welded to a motorcycle chock and a spring E-fitting welded to an E-Track ring.
7. The apparatus of claim 6 , wherein said second side of said base structure is substantially parallel to and offset a predetermined distance from said first side of said base structure.
8. The apparatus of claim 6 , wherein said spring E-fitting device is fastened to said base structure, said at least one spring E-fitting defining a plate having a plurality of spring E-fittings welded thereto.
9. The apparatus of claim 6 , wherein said at least one spring E-fitting is spring loadingly and removably engaged to a piece of E-track that is connected to a second structure.
10. The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein said second structure defines at least one of a truck bed wall, a cargo box wall, and a trailer wall.
11. A modular offset mounting apparatus comprising a base structure, a length of E-track, and at least one spring E-fitting, wherein said E-track is welded to a first side of said base structure and said at least one spring E-fitting is welded to a second side of said base structure, and wherein a spring E-fitting device is spring loadingly and removably engaged to said E-track, and wherein said spring E-fitting device defines at least one of a spring E-fitting welded to a motorcycle chock and a spring E-fitting welded to an E-Track ring.
12. The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein said second side of said base structure is substantially parallel to and offset a predetermined distance from said first side of said base structure.
13. The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein said at least one spring E-fitting is spring loadingly and removably engaged to a piece of E-track that is connected to a second structure.
14. The apparatus of claim 13 , wherein said second structure defines at least one of a truck bed wall, a cargo box wall, and a trailer wall.
