CARGO MANAGEMENT SYSTEM USING A CARGO NET SPANNER - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18089156 titled 'CARGO MANAGEMENT SYSTEM USING A CARGO NET SPANNER
The patent application describes a cargo net spanner and a cargo management system that includes the spanner. The spanner features a tab protruding longitudinally from one end, a first cord attachment portion near the tab, and a second cord attachment portion at the other end. The tab allows the user to control the movement of the spanner, while the cord attachment portions engage with cords to position the spanner between them, making the internal space of the cargo net more accessible.
- Tab for user control of spanner movement
- First and second cord attachment portions for engaging with cords
- Positions spanner between cords to improve accessibility of cargo net internal space
Potential Applications: - Cargo management systems in vehicles - Organizing and securing cargo in trucks, vans, or SUVs
Problems Solved: - Difficulty accessing internal space of cargo nets - Inefficient cargo organization and management
Benefits: - Improved accessibility to cargo in vehicles - Enhanced organization and security of items during transportation
Commercial Applications: Cargo management systems for commercial vehicles, logistics companies, and transportation services.
Questions about Cargo Net Spanner: 1. How does the tab on the spanner help in controlling its movement? The tab allows the user to easily adjust the position of the spanner between the cords.
2. What are the benefits of using a cargo net spanner in a cargo management system? The cargo net spanner improves accessibility to the internal space of the cargo net, making it easier to organize and secure items during transportation.
Original Abstract Submitted
Provided are a cargo net spanner and a cargo management system including the cargo net spanner. The spanner includes a tab protruding longitudinally from a proximal end of the spanner; a first cord attachment portion proximal to the tab; and a second cord attachment portion at a distal end of the spanner. The tab is configured to allow a user to control a movement of the spanner. The first cord attachment portion is configured to engage with a first cord. The second cord attachment portion is configured to engage with a second cord. The system includes a cargo net and the cargo net spanner(s). When the first cord and the second cord attachment portions are respectively engaged with the first and the second cords, the spanner positions between the first cord and second cord such that an internal space formed by the cargo net becomes more accessible by the user.
