Abstract: The group of inventions is related to devices for fastening oversize and heavy-weight cargoes to wheeled vehicles to carry the cargoes while they are sagging down between wheel parts of the vehicle. The common technical result is provision of a versatile, repeatedly used device for fastening various cargoes different in shape and overall dimensions and having different strengths and rigidities; the result is attained by provision of a device for fastening oversize and heavy-weight cargoes, characterized in that the device uses a set of elements that form complete longitudinal and transverse contours: the device (the first embodiment) comprises a spatial metal support structure made around the cargo or the cargo envelope and with the aid of the cargo, including end walls each of which consists of two outermost end posts having thrust places to mate the rests of the vehicle consoles, a connection beam located at the end wall base and forming a non-detachable joint with the end posts, the connection beam consisting of a middle part disposed between the end posts, and two connection links, each having a shape of a half-cylinder, joined to the middle part ends to form a detachable joint; two main end beams, each consisting of a pair of blocks with eye lugs for connection with eye lugs of the vehicle consoles, and connected to each other, at the top part, by a connection beam of the main end beam to form a detachable joint, design of said connection beam being similar to that of the end wall connection beam, at the middle part – by a sectional cross-piece, at the bottom part – by a sectional base; at least one longitudinal thrust beam located at the top part of the device and designed to receive, through the end posts of the end walls, horizontal forces from thrusts of the vehicle consoles, upper transverse ties being detachably connected to the longitudinal thrust beam; two sets of lower draw bars with end sections in the form of eye lugs disposed at the bottom part of the device and designed to connect the blocks of the main end beams to each other, and lower transverse ties having places for detachable connection to the lower draw bars that receive vertical forces from the longitudinal thrust beam through posts fixed between the upper transverse ties or their hangers and the lower transverse ties or their hangers; wherein each end wall and respective main end beam are connected and contact each other over flat surfaces of their connection beams, free ends of the connection links of the connection beam of each end wall, joined in pairs with free ends of adjacent connection links of the connection beam of the main end beam, are accommodated and fixed in cylindrical inner spaces of bushings of four support end pieces, each of the support end pieces being connected with the respective block of the respective main end beam and receiving the weight of the cargo supported by it; the device (the second embodiment) comprises a set of elements that form an unclosed transverse contour at middle parts of the metal structure (there are no upper transverse ties); the device (the third embodiment) comprises a set of elements that form an unclosed transverse contour at middle parts and an unclosed longitudinal contour (there are no longitudinal thrust beams, upper transverse ties, posts and diagonal braces); the device (the fourth embodiment) comprises a set of elements that form a closed transverse contour at middle part of the cargo and a closed longitudinal contour: the complete set of the cargo fastening device does not include any upper and lower transverse ties, longitudinal thrust beams, end walls, and only one set of lower ties is used disposed along the longitudinal axis of symmetry of the device, and support end pieces, while connection beams of the end walls are replaced by connection beams connected to the cargo body/envelope; the device (the fifth embodiment) comprises a set of elements that form an unclosed transverse contour of the system at middle parts and an unclosed longitudinal contour: the complete set of elements (the second embodiment) does not include longitudinal thrust beams, upper transverse ties, posts and diagonal braces, transverse beams of the end posts; the device (the sixth embodiment) comprises a set of elements that form an unclosed transverse contour of the system at middle parts and an unclosed longitudinal contour: there are no longitudinal beams, upper transverse ties, transverse beams of the end posts.
