Abstract
A mechanism is provided for securing a bottom end of a curtain on a curtainside trailer. Each embodiment of the mechanism generally includes a hook-shaped member and a driving mechanism. The hook-shaped member engages the bottom edge of the curtain. The driving mechanism extends the hook-shaped member from underneath the side rail of the trailer so that the hook-shaped member is outboard of the side rail or retracts the hook-shaped member so that the hook-shaped member is positioned completely underneath the side rail of the trailer. The embodiments of the curtain securing mechanism disclosed in FIGS. 1-6 are mechanically driven and include an air actuator which is interconnected to the hook-shaped member to extend or retract the hook-shaped member. The embodiments of the curtain securing mechanism disclosed in FIGS. 7-10 are manually driven and include link members which are attached to the hook-shaped member and to a handle member. The handle member, when manually moved, moves the link members to extend or retract the hook-shaped member.
