  • Load lock holder
    Patent number: 5085326
    Abstract: A load lock holder comprises a base plate for mounting the load lock holder to a wall of the tractor or trailer and multiple clips made of a resilient material mounted to the base plate, each retaining clip defining a clamping area for holding the load lock and a slot located on one side of the retaining clip through which a load lock may be forced before the load lock enters the clamping area of the clip. Additionally, a retaining gate may be used to provide an additional securing force to the load locks in the load lock holder. A cushion may be coupled to the retaining gate for positively engaging the load locks to prevent the load locks from moving relative to the load lock holder.
