(under subclass 101) Structure comprising elongated member means, e.g., bar, strip, post; and see (1) Note, below, fixed to the freight carrier surface and provided at intervals along the length thereof either (a) with the individual tie pieces*, or (b) with a row of unitary formations or arrangements for the direct connection thereto of the end of a lading engaging member.
(1) Note. The "elongated member means" herein defined may be, in fact, part of wider panel structure (e.g., edge, flange; see subclass 108) only when it is unmistakably distinct from the rest of the panel and so narrow as hardly to permit more than a single anchoring to occur at a single location along the row (two would be rare and could occur only under the limitations of subclass 102).
