1. A T-bolt in combination with a T-bolt locking device for providing positive engagement of the T-bolt with an accessory mounting track to prevent rotation of the T-bolt to prevent inadvertent separation of the T-bolt from the accessory mounting track, wherein the accessory mounting track comprises a slot at least partially bounded between opposing upper walls and an interior at least partially bounded between the opposing upper walls and opposing side walls, the combination comprising:
the T-bolt comprising a head fixedly attached to a threaded shaft, and
the T-bolt locking device comprising a disk-shaped structure having opposingly directed generally planar surfaces bounded by an outer circumferential wall and a through hole passing through the disk-shape structure for receiving the threaded shaft of the T-bolt through the through hole through the disk-shaped structure and tabs on opposing sides of the through hole, the tabs co-aligning with each other and extending generally perpendicularly from one of the generally planar surfaces of the disk-shaped structure, the tabs being dimensioned and configured to pass through the slot of the accessory mounting track and to enter into the interior of the accessory mounting track and being spaced to receive the head of the T-bolt between the tabs to obstruct rotation of the head of the T-bolt within the interior of the accessory mounting track to prevent inadvertent separation of the T-bolt from the accessory mounting track.
