Abstract

A secure barless cover for cargo container portal/opening consisting of flexible, durable, lightweight, weatherproof fabric sized to correspond with the opening, permanently secured across the top edge of opening and incorporating a single, continuous loop cable in conjunction with simple hooks and a single point cable tensioning assembly to secure the cover to the top, bottom and side edges of the container opening. The cover is fitted with grommets and cable pockets along the bottom and sides to allow the cable to weave through the cover from front to back. Continuous looping of the cable is created via use of a cable clamp that enables length adjustment and is secured in place after the cable has been woven through the cover grommets and pockets, hooks and tensioning assembly. Cable exposure to the cover's front is minimal, to allow hooks to hang in easily accessible, strategic positions for attachment to the container opening bottom and sides when securing the cover to the container. The cable pockets are positioned along the back of the cover to keep the cable in its proper configuration and protect it from entanglement with commodities placed in the container. The cable is tensioned via a single tensioning strap with one end secured midway along the top of the container portal/opening and the other end interlooped with the cable. Pulling the strap in a downward direction, using the end secured to the container frame as leverage, with the hooks in position along the frame or portal side braces, tensions the cable and secures the cover along the container's bottom and sides.
