    摘要: A system of devices is provided to cooperate to tie-down a load and to cover the load with a tarp or cover. A knob with an optional locking base provides an anchor point to wrap and tie a tarp in the tarp anchoring system. The knob has numerous variations to accommodate attaching points and accessory characteristics. A compressing device secures the tarp over the knob. Two pieces move and lock within one another with sufficient clearance to receive the knob and the tarp. The knob having sufficient curvature to retain the compressing device when locked. Various mid-spanning hooking members cooperate with cords, straps, or ropes for a myriad of cargo lashing functionality and to receive the anchoring point. When used in combination, a user can employ the system to generate a web of load supports with a network of hubs and modes of attachment.

    摘要: A tarping system and method for covering at least a portion of a cargo load carried on a cargo carrying surface of a bed of a truck or trailer are provided. The tarping system includes at least one flexible tarp extending from a mounted end to a free end. At least one reel is coupled to the mounted end and is operative to automatically urge the tarp to a self-stowed positon, coiled onto a spool of the reel, under a return force imparted by the reel. A mounting structure is configured to support the at least one reel and the associated tarp in an upstanding relation relative to the cargo carrying surface to enable a user, while standing on the ground, to draw the tarp from the stowed position to a deployed position to cover at least a portion of a side of the cargo load.
