Title: End restraint for shipping bins

Abstract: End restraints for article shipping bins each include a rigid plate pivotally mounted on a carriage for movement toward and away from sides of the articles. Biasing facilities act on the carriage to (I) maintain the plate in contact with the sides of the articles; (2) limit longitudinal motion of the articles; and (3) dampen longitudinal forces acting on the articles during transit.
