German term or phrase: X-Bügel
Die Aufsteckwände werden in 2 Bohrungen der Rollplatte eingesetzt und werkzeugfrei mit dem Verschluss (X-Bügel) gesichert.
An den 2 Aufsteckwänden sind jeweils 2 Klemmschlossgurte zur Ladesicherung montiert.
Verschluss (X-Bügel)

(Still about this rolling platform and securing of loads).

Translator called it "X-bow." I'm not sure what shape it is, but I'd like to call it "X-bar." Any comments?

Explanation:
Hi Trudy. I assume the X is just a label for identification and could just as easily be Y or Z. If I had no other information and only knew that the Bügel are for snap-on panels, I think I'd go with clip.

The fact that they are mounted \"werkzeugfrei\" is what makes me lean toward clip.

Tanks, Kim. After seeing the picture, I decided in favor of clamp. The meaning of X still escapes me.
