Abstract
A tie down device for tie down application including a D-ring with overmold used for a motor vehicle to secure cargo of various shapes and sizes using removable straps. The tie down device includes a D-ring, an overmold plastic portion, bracket portion, and an interior bracket. The tie down device withstands a minimum load requirement suitable to secure a cargo in place. A round steel bar is shaped into the D-ring feature and inserted into the mold for forming the overmold plastic portion. The plastic forms in an overmold around the metal material into the desired shape. The molding process obtains the features and shape required from at least a visual perspective and the round steel bar, which is partially encapsulated by the overmold plastic portion, provides strength to meet the predetermined load requirements. The interior bracket acts as a spring to control the tension of the bracket portion.
