LOAD-SECURING DEVICE USABLE WITH A LOAD-TRANSPORT SYSTEM AND RELATED METHODS

摘要

A stowable load-securing device usable with a load-transport system is disclosed. The load-securing device (14) includes a securing membrane (34) and a support member (24). Further, a stowable load-securing device (14) may include a tamper-resistant member, while a load-transport system further may include at least one motive mechanism. The securing membrane (34) is capable of securing at least a portion of the load when in an extended position and capable of stowing when in a retracted position. The support member (24) is capable of facilitating an extension and retraction of the securing membrane (34).
