DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
Referring to the drawings in greater detail and by reference characters thereto, there is illustrated a locking apparatus which is generally designated by reference numeral 10.
Locking apparatus 10 is shown mounted on an angle iron 14 while reference numeral 12 designates a portion of a truck mast.
A locking member generally designated by reference numeral 16 is mounted on shaft 18. Locking member 16 includes a body portion 20 from which extends
-2-outwardly arm 22. At the distal end of arm 22 there is provided a hook 24 which fonctions as a load engaging element.
The locking apparatus 10 also includes a pneumatic cylinder generally designated by reference numeral 28. Pneumatic cylinder 28 includes an outer housing 30 surrounding a coil spring member 32. Coil spring 32 is mounted at a first end as indicated by reference numeral 34 to locking member 16. At the other end, as designated by reference numeral 36, spring 32 is connected to portion 36 of pneumatic cylinder 28. An air supply hose 40 is provided for pneumatic cylinder 28.
Body portion 20 of locking member 16 includes a rouer 42, the arrangement being such that roller 42 moues along an edge of angle iron 14 to which the locking apparatus 10 is mounted. It will be noted that, as may be best seen in Figures and 2C, that locking apparatus 10 is mounted to have a longitudinal center fine which is offset with respect to the longitudinal axis of angle iron 14.
A guide member 44 is mounted on angle iron 14. An aperture receives and guides shaft 18. Guide member 44 includes an arcuate surface generally designated by reference numeral 46 (best seen in Figure 5) such that as locking member 16 moues, roller 42 will contact surface 46. This will then cause body portion 42 to moue therealong resulting in arm 22 and hook 24 moving upwardly and outwardly. In operation, as long as air pressure is applied to air supply hose 40 and pneumatic cylinder 28, locking member 16 is retained in the position shown in Figure 7 wherein arm 22 and hook 24 stand outwardly from angle iron 14 and rail 12. However, upon the release of air pressure, body portion 20 and shaft 18 will moue to the opposite
The locking apparatus 10 also includes a pneumatic cylinder generally designated by reference numeral 28. Pneumatic cylinder 28 includes an outer housing 30 surrounding a coil spring member 32.

In operation, as long as air pressure is applied to air supply hose 40 and pneumatic cylinder 28, locking member 16 is retained in the position shown in Figure 7 wherein arm 22 and hook 24 stand outwardly from angle iron 14 and rail 12. However, upon the release of air pressure, body portion 20 and shaft 18 will moue to the opposite
-3-position due to the biasing force of biasing means which comprises spring 32.
As may be seen, due to the offset nature of locking apparatus 10, the load engaging element comprising hook 24 will moue to exert a retaining force on a container rail.
It will be understood that the above described embodiment if for purposes of illustration only and that changes or modifications may be made thereto without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
