Abstract

A volume adjustable container system is provided, the system including at least a sliding track system disposed longitudinally along the inside walls of a container, wherein the sliding track system further comprises a plurality of variably and scalably adjustable restraint receiving members. Association of the longitudinally disposed track system with a vertically disposed track system; the addition or substitution of other similar track systems disposed in neighboring configurations arranged throughout a wide range of angular sweep; and a wide variety of restraining elements and restraining element receiving members, are also provided.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A volume adjustable container system, said system comprising:
 a sliding track system disposed longitudinally along the inside walls of a container;   wherein said sliding track system further comprises a plurality of variably and scalably adjustable restraint receiving members.   
     
     
         2 . The volume adjustable container system of  claim 1 , said longitudinally disposed sliding track system is further disposed in mechanical communication with one or more vertically disposed restraint systems. 
     
     
         3 . The volume adjustable container system of  claim 1  wherein said plurality of variably and scalably adjustable restraint receiving members is further disposed in mechanical communication with one or more restraining elements. 
     
     
         4 . The volume adjustable container system of  claim 3 , wherein said one or more restraining elements further comprises one or more of woven shipping straps, c-shaped clips and s-shaped clips. 
     
     
         5 . The volume adjustable container system of  claim 1 , wherein said restraint receiving members are configured to slide either within or upon said longitudinally disposed sliding track system. 
     
     
         6 . The volume adjustable container system of  claim 2 , wherein said restraint receiving members are configured to slide either within or upon said vertically disposed restraint system. 
     
     
         7 . The volume adjustable container system of  claim 1 , further comprising one or more longitudinally disposed sliding tracks disposed in communication with each of the containers side walls, respectively. 
     
     
         8 . The volume adjustable container system of  claim 1 , further comprising one or more longitudinally disposed sliding track systems disposed in communication with one or more of either a ceiling surface or floor surface of said container. 
     
     
         9 . The volume adjustable container system of  claim 2 , wherein one or more tracks of said longitudinally disposed sliding track system and one or more tracks of said vertically disposed sliding track system are variably oriented through an angular sweep of between zero and ninety degrees. 
     
     
         10 . The volume adjustable container system of  claim 4 , wherein said restraining elements further comprise one or more of freight straps, whether adjustable or fixed; restraining chains, whether adjustable or fixed; load bars, whether telescoping or fixed; and combinations thereof.
