Fastening tip for cargo support beam
A fastening tip for connecting a cargo support beam to a track, which comprises a first side plate, a second side plate, a stopping plate, a torsional spring and a lining plate, wherein the top surface of the top portion of the stopping plate is flat, and the stopping plate has an operating fin exposed outside; he lining plate engages the stopping plate when the top portion of the stopping plate tightly resists against the edge of the positioning hole. In the present invention, the damage due to the extrusion of cargos or by an external force is effectively prevented from; in addition, the manual operation space is increased, and the operation is more convenient.
1. A fastening tip for connecting a cargo support beam to a track with a plurality of positioning holes, comprising:
a first side plate having a body, a top edge, a bottom edge, an insertion portion extending away from the top edge, a first limiting opening defined on the body and adjacent to the bottom edge;
a second side plate having a body, a top edge, a bottom edge, an insertion portion extending away from the top edge, a first limiting opening defined on the body and adjacent to the bottom edge;
the first side plate and the second side plate being disposed parallel to each other;
a mounting clearance being formed between the first side plate and the second side plate, the mounting clearance having a front side;
a stopping plate with a top portion, a bent middle portion and a rear portion, rotatably disposed in the front side of the mounting clearance;
an operating fin connected to the stopping plate, the operating fin having a transversal flat surface extending away from the stopping plate;
a lining plate disposed within the mounting clearance; and
a torsional spring with two ends disposed under the stopping plate;
wherein
the torsional spring enables the top portion of the stopping plate to rest against the edge of the positioning hole;
the top surface of the top portion of the stopping plate is flat, and the stopping plate has the operating fin exposed outside;
the lining plate engages the stopping plate when the top portion of the stopping plate tightly resists against the edge of the positioning hole.
2. The fastening tip of claim 1 , wherein
the stopping plate is L-shaped;
the bent middle portion of the stopping plate is rotatably connected to at least one of the first side plate and the second side plate;
an accommodating opening, for receiving rotatably the rear portion of the stopping plate, is formed in front of the lining plate;
the torsional spring is disposed within the accommodating opening; and
one end of the torsional spring rests against the lower surface of the stopping plate, while other end of the torsional spring rests against a bottom edge of the accommodating opening.
3. The fastening tip of claim 2 , wherein the operating fin is obliquely arranged at the rear end of the stopping plate, and the support plate is shaped as a slope corresponding to the operating fin;
a manipulation hole for allowing the operating fin to pass therethrough is formed on each of the first side plate and the second side plate, and the manipulation holes are aligned with the accommodating opening.
4. The fastening tip of claim 2 , wherein a declining portion for allowing the upper portion of the stopping plate to rotate backward is formed on the lining plate.
5. The fastening tip of claim 1 , wherein a second limiting opening aligning with the first limiting openings on the insertion portion is formed on the lining plate.
6. The fastening tip of claim 1 , wherein
the top edge and the bottom edge of the first side plate extended away from the body to form a first upper support arm and a first lower support arm;
the top edge and the bottom edge of the second side plate extended away from the body to form a second upper support arm and a second lower support arm; and
the top surface of the top portion of the stopping plate is lower than an upper surface of the first upper support arm and an upper surface of the second upper support arm, or aligned with the upper surface of the first upper support arm and the upper surface of the second upper support arm.
7. The fastening tip of claim 1 , wherein a cargo support beam tube is transversely and movably sheathed around the first side plate and the second side plate;
guide holes, which are formed transversely, are defined on the body of the first side plate and the second side plate;
a connecting hole for allowing a guide pin to pass therethrough is formed on the cargo support beam tube.
