Abstract

A device having a securing element which can be blocked in a load rail which is anchored so as to be fixed to a vehicle, the securing element having a base member with a retention region which can be inserted into the load rail in a positive-locking manner, and the base member includes at least one bar member for engagement in a catch bar arrangement of the load rail which is supported so as to be able to be moved relative to the base member. A additional bar is provided which is movably supported parallel with the bar member and independently of the bar member, and which is resiliently loaded in the direction of the blocking position and which can be moved together with the bar member into the release position.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A device for securing stored materials in a storage space using a securing element which can be locked in a load rail which is anchored so as to be fixed to a vehicle, the securing element having a base member which has a retention region which can be inserted into the load rail in a positive-locking manner, and the securing element comprising at least one bar member for engagement in a catch bar arrangement of the load rail which is supported so as to be able to be moved relative to the base member by an actuation device which can be manually operated in order to be able to be moved between a blocking position and a release position, wherein there is associated with the bar member an additional bar which is movably supported independently of the bar member and which is resiliently loaded in a direction of the blocking position and which can be moved together with the bar member into the release position.

2. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the additional bar engages below the catch bar arrangement when the base member is in an inserted state.

3. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the additional bar is constructed as a dual bar having two bar projections whose width is greater than a width of a catch recess of the catch bar arrangement and the bar member is positioned between the two bar projections of the additional bar.

4. The device according to claim 1 , wherein a width of the bar member is adapted to a width of a catch recess of the catch bar arrangement.

5. A device for securing stored materials in a storage space using a securing element which can be locked in a load rail which is anchored so as to be fixed to a vehicle, the securing element having a base member which has a retention region which can be inserted into the load rail in a positive-locking manner, and the securing element comprising at least one bar member for engagement in a catch bar arrangement of the load rail which is supported so as to be able to be moved relative to the base member by an actuation device which can be manually operated in order to be able to be moved between a blocking position and a release position, wherein the securing element comprises at least one resiliently loaded support which supports the securing element in an unlocked state relative to the load rail in a raised intermediate position which can be visually identified.

6. The securing element for the device according to claim 1 .

7. The device according to claim 2 , wherein a width of the bar member is adapted to a width of a catch recess of the catch bar arrangement.

8. The device according to claim 3 , wherein a width of the bar member is adapted to a width of a catch recess of the catch bar arrangement.
