  • Spring-loaded object clamp
    Patent number: 6511271
    Abstract: A locking clamp mechanism is designed for securing a ladder to a mounting rack that can be disposed on a roof or a side of a vehicle. The locking clamp mechanism is operative between an open and locked position in response to the position of an operating handle, which pivots from an open position over its pivot connection to a locked position. In pivoting, the handle draws a curved link over the top dead-center position of its pivot and secures a hook member that engages a rung of the ladder.
