Chock system
A wheel chock restraint system which comprises a wheel chock having a base, a plurality of teeth extending outwardly from the base, the teeth extending in a first direction, and a locking member mounted within the chock, the locking member having a plurality of locking member teeth extending from a bottom thereof, the locking member teeth extending in a second direction generally opposed to the first direction, and an arrangement for moving the locking member in a generally vertical direction.
1. A wheel chock restraint system comprising:
a wheel chock having a base, a plurality of teeth extending downwardly from said base, said teeth extending in a first direction;
a secondary restraint mounted within said wheel chock, the secondary restraint having a plurality of secondary restraint teeth extending from a bottom thereof, the secondary restraint teeth extending in a second direction which is generally opposed to said first direction; and
a locking and unlocking motion mechanism to move the secondary restraint in a generally vertical direction between an engaged position and a disengaged position, the locking and unlocking motion mechanism comprising an electric motor.
2. A wheel chock restraint system comprising:
a wheel chock having a base, a plurality of teeth extending downwardly from said base, said teeth extending in a first direction;
a secondary restraint mounted within said wheel chock, the secondary restraint having a plurality of secondary restraint teeth extending from a bottom thereof, the secondary restraint teeth extending in a second direction which is generally opposed to said first direction; and
a locking and unlocking motion mechanism to move the secondary restraint in a generally vertical direction between an engaged position and a disengaged position, the locking and unlocking motion mechanism comprising a hydraulic system.
3. A wheel chock restraint system comprising:
a wheel chock having a base, a plurality of teeth extending downwardly from said base, said teeth extending in a first direction;
a secondary restraint mounted within said wheel chock, the secondary restraint having a plurality of secondary restraint teeth extending from a bottom thereof, the secondary restraint teeth extending in a second direction which is generally opposed to said first direction; and
a locking and unlocking motion mechanism to move the secondary restraint in a generally vertical direction between an engaged position and a disengaged position, the locking and unlocking motion mechanism comprising a pneumatic system.
