A vertical bulkhead is constructed for insertion in the interior of a cargo transporting vessel such as a truck, freight car, or marine cargo carrier to support the cargo during movement of the vessel. The bulkhead is constructed of any suitable stiff material and has positioned upon it a pair of pads or bearing elements at opposite edges disposed to frictionally engage opposite inner walls of the vessel. One of these pads is mounted on an adjustable mechanism disposed to move the pad horizontally and to lock it and consequently lock the bulkhead in a fixed position inside the vessel against the cargo.

An extensible foot assembly for mounting to a cargo support member to enable use of the member for shoring of cargo in a transportation container, said foot assembly including a body portion formed for mounting to said support member, an extensible element movably mounted to said body portion and having a bearing portion formed to engage and bear against a wall of said container, and adjustment means formed for advancement of said extensible element relative to said body portion and formed for securement of said extensible element in an advanced position to apply a bearing force to said wall, wherein the improvement in said foot assembly is comprised of: said adjustment means including spring biasing means formed and mounted to apply a biasing force between said body portion and said extensible element in a direction urging said extensible element toward said advanced position; and said adjustment means further including juxtapositioned advancement means formed for selective coupling to said extensible element for positive advancement of said extensible element toward said advanced position and formed for uncoupling form said extensible element to free said extensible element for displacement independently of said advancement means as urged by said spring biasing means. A cargo supporting device for use in shoring cargo in a transportation container including a cargo support member, and pair of foot assemblies mounted to opposite sides of said cargo support member, said foot assemblies being formed to engage and bear upon opposite walls of said container at least one of said foot assemblies being formed with an extensible element and adjustment means formed for advancement of said extensible element against one of said extensible element against one of said walls and securement of said extensible element in an advanced position, wherein the improvement in said cargo support assembly is comprised of: said cargo support member is formed as a partition-like member; and said one of said foot assemblies is formed for a resilient displacement of said extensible element and automatic application of a bearing force against said walls during placement of said partition-like member, and said one of said foot assemblies is further formed with juxtapositioned advancement means for positive application of an increased bearing force against said walls during advancement of said extensible element to said advanced position.
