A device for securing to a surface of a container for restraining cargo within the container. The device comprises a receptacle and a pair of lateral flaps disposed about the receptacle for engaging the surface. The receptacle includes a base and defines a cavity for receiving an end of the elongated support member. Each lateral flap has a rear side for engaging the surface and a front side. Desirably, the receptacle includes a pair of opposed first walls defining the cavity and extending generally perpendicular to the opposed first walls, and the lateral flaps are associated with the opposed first walls. The receptacle may include a ramp wedge adjacent the channel for facilitating engagement of the elongated support member with the device. The device is secured to the surface of the container by the elongated support member and, if desired, an adhesive tape or other fastener may be associated with the rear side for engaging the lateral flaps and surface of the container.
