Abstract
The invention generally relates to an assembly for securing cargo to a cargo bed. Specifically, the invention relates to a cargo tie-down for mounting in the cargo deck of a vehicle. The recessed cargo tie-down includes a housing recessed within the cargo deck of a vehicle, an anchor defining an aperture secured within the housing, and a tie-down ring having a nominally circular portion and at least one nominally straight portion compatible with flat metal banding. According to the exemplary embodiment, the tie-down ring is attached to the recessed housing through the aperture in the anchor such that the tie-down ring may be rotated along its periphery within the aperture such that either the nominally circular portion or the nominally straight portion is within the aperture.
