  • Patent number: 4745993
    Abstract: A centrifugal chain assembly having a holder for a skid prevention device for a motor vehicle which can be put into operation when needed and which can be made inoperative again is formed by a plurality of elements which are axially movable and also pivotable relative to one another, which, by their construction and movability provided for adjustment can be employed equally at both sides of a motor vehicle and can be used for different types and models of motor vehicles. An adjustable ball joint is provided between a centrifugal wheel and the free end of a pivot arm, which pivots the centrifugal wheel, together with chain lengths secured to the centrifugal wheel, from a rest position into an operative position, in which the centrifugal wheel abuts against the side face, directed inwardly of the motor vehicle, of a driven motor vehicle wheel and is set in rotation by the wheel during travel.

  • Patent number: 4697967
    Abstract: A twistlock device for locking containers on vehicles. A housing with a cylindrical vertical throughbore includes an upper guide section for engaging an opening in a container corner bracket, and a lower mounting section for connecting the device to a vehicle. The mounting section protrudes beyond the side faces of the guide section and the guide section extends beyond the end faces of the mounting section. An axially unshiftable locking bolt is rotatably carried in the bore. The bolt's top end is provided with a hammerhead, and its bottom end is provided with a handle for twisting the hammerhead between a locking position and a release position. The locking position is secured by a releasable locking element. The twistlock can be shipped to a vehicle manufacturer completely preassembled, and is inserted by the vehicle manufacturer in a hole in a vehicle outrigger where it can be simply and easily mounted by welding.

  • Patent number: 4690232
    Abstract: A hold down apparatus for a tippable structure of a vehicle has a clamping catch which is rotatable about a transverse axis. The catch has a fork formed by two projecting prongs on one side of the transverse axis and, on the other side of the transverse axis, is acted upon by a spring device which holds the clamping catch with an over-center action either against a stop, in which position the opening of the fork faces the structure, or urges the clamping catch with spring action into a second position in which the fork is held in an essentially horizontal position in which the structure is clamped down.

  • Patent number: 4459072
    Abstract: A container locking device includes an oblong guiding element fixed on one end of the housing. A round passage extends through the housing from end to end and through the guiding element. A rotatable locking bolt lies in the passage, the locking bolt having a first end extending from the guiding element and a second end extending from the end of the housing opposite the guiding element. An oblong hammer head is fixed on the first end of the locking bolt. A handle is fixed on the second end of the locking bolt. Axial movement of the locking bolt is restrained. The result is a low-cost, reliable, safe container locking device. Stops limit rotation of the locking bolt to an excursion of approximately 90.degree.. The passage is formed with a tube that extends outwardly from the end of the housing opposite the guiding element to space the handle therefrom and thereby facilitate its movement. A removable catch secures the handle in the position where the hammer head is transverse to the guiding element.
