Charvonia Design Bed Tie-Down Anchors

Thanks for the feedback. Shoot me a message and I’ll honor the original price for inventory I have on hand.

 

These are amazing!

 

I have one pair of black Tie-Down Anchors left from the last batch. I’ll honor the original price for a forum member.

 

I've been holding off, but what the heck... I'll take them.

 

New inventory coming in next week! I’m excited because with this big order I’ll be able to ship any of your orders the same day or next day.

Any chance you're pursuing the quick release design?

 

ope. my b i see now they are sold in pairs

 

I have been looking at options but have not found anything that will work at a reasonable price. I’m all ears if you guys have ideas.

 

I have about 40 pairs of Bed Tie-Downs in inventory, shipping next day when you order.

 

Would something like this work ? Cut to proper length.

Of course ,you could keep an Allen wrench in console or a T handle Allen handy.

 

I wonder if a design like a bicycle tire quick release would work for a quick release? You would have to have one on each end, and the sides milled so the cam arm nestled in so as not to impede any catch apparatus like a carabiner, rope, hook, etc.

 

YES!

 

You guys are worried about theft?

what about torx security bolts? Not good enough?

 

Not at all. I have a tonneau cover. We're talking about the opposite... a quick release. I don't want to have to use tools to move them.

 

Oh, like how the OEM ones can slide with just a knob, gotchya.

Probably a single lever on the top to operate a cam to secure the clamp to the rail with significant force. Righty tighty, lefty loosy. when open it'd allow sliding off the back of the rail. Seems doable.

 

Mustamissed that one.

 

A cam lever similar to what ADM puts on their scope mounts would probably work well.

 

Great idea!

Here's a very down and dirty CAD sketch of that concept. Clamped down on the left, opened up for movement/removal on the right. It wouldn't have to clamp down very hard... just enough to keep it from sliding and wiggling. Once a force is applied to it by whatever you're anchoring, it'll cause it to hold tight.

 

Only thing I was thinking is cam lever closes by rotating to horizontal from above. Because I have a mental picture of Russ Hanneman talking about how billionaires should drive cars with doors that open like “this” and not like “this”. So a lever closing from medial towards the rail feels less sexy. But it’s the easier way to apply pressure in the proper direction.
