Patent ID: 8287216

Claim:
A method for restraining freight within a transport space, the method comprising the steps of: positioning first freight within a transport space bound by a support structure, the first freight being supported by the support structure; outfitting the first freight with a first harness assembly, the first harness assembly comprising a bifurcated harness and opposed tensile members connected to the bifurcated harness, the bifurcated harness contacting a first top end and a first side of the first freight; anchoring the first harness assembly to the support structure opposite the first side via the tensile members of the first harness assembly; positioning second freight within the transport space, the second freight being supported by the support structure in contact with the first freight; outfitting the second freight with a second harness assembly identical to the first harness assembly, the bifurcated harness of the second harness assembly contacting a second top end and a far side of the second freight; anchoring the second harness assembly to the support structure opposite the far side via the tensile members of the second harness assembly; and diagonally tensioning the tension members of the first and second harness assemblies relative to the support structure thereby forcing the first and second top ends toward the support structure and the first and far sides toward one another, the support structure, the first and second freight, and the tensioned first and second harness assemblies preventing displacement of the positioned first and second freight and thus restraining same within the transport space.
