摘要:
The invention relates to a wheel chocking system for at least one tire (T 2 ) of a vehicle which is rotatable on a treadway (S) between a starting position (A) and a plurality of lockable positions (B) close to a dock. The chocking system comprises: a chocking device (10) comprising a chock (16), said chock being positionable behind said tire (T 2 ) when said rolling tire rolls on the treadway (S) from said starting position (A) to said lockable positions (B), a guide channel (C) extending along said treadway and said chocking device being moveably guided along said guide channel between an initial position and operating positions, and a controllable lock (30) capable of selectively locking said chock (16) in a chock position (B) behind the tire corresponding to any of said operating positions.

A curtain bottom tensioning assembly comprised primarily of a resilient member (50) extending across the bottom of the door (10). The resilient member (50) is directly or indirectly coupled to a guide extension (100) extending beyond the leading edge of the door (10) and engaging vertical guide members (20, 30) to guide the door (10) in a vertical plane. The guide extensions (100) also engage the vertical guide members (20, 30) to restrict the guide extensions (100) from moving horizontally toward the curtain (10). The coupling between these horizontally restricted guide extensions (100) and the resilient member (50) places a tension on the resilient member (50). The resilient member (50) is thus stretchedacross the bottom of the door or curtain (10), and serves as a bottom bar that also substantially conforms to or deflects around an obstruction, thus preventing or minimizing damage to the door (10), the bottom bar and the obstruction.

A wheel-actuated vehicle restraint device is provided for restraining at least one wheel of a vehicle during loading and unloading thereof. The vehicle restraint comprises a lock assembly comprising an actuation assembly for initially engaging the wheel of the incoming vehicle and a lock assembly for chocking the wheel in response to engagement between the wheel and the actuation assembly. The lock assembly is operatively connected to the actuation assembly at a connection point such that the connection point is selectively positionable in response to the dimensions and location of the wheel for insuring that the lock assembly engages a bottom portion of the wheel and moves along the peripheral surface of the wheel to a chock position. In one embodiment, the actuation assembly comprises a trigger assembly disposed to engage the wheel and a trolley assembly operatively connecting the lock assembly and trigger assembly. The trolley assembly comprises a variable length biasing link such that the length of the link varies in response to the wheel dimensions and location, thereby positioning the lock assembly to engage the bottom portion of the wheel before moving to the chock position.
摘要:
Un système de nivellement pour un quai de chargement possède une rampe réglable (11), une lèvre montée pivotante (13) et une plaque barrière montée pivotante (16), la lèvre et la plaque étant disposées au niveau du bord frontal de la rampe (11). Les mouvements de pivotement de la lèvre (13) et de la plaque barrière (16) sont coordonnés de sorte que, lorsque la lèvre (13) se trouve dans une position dépendante et rangée, la plaque barrière (16) peut être ajustée de manière sélective pour prendre une position correspondant soit à un mode opérationnel de barrière se projetant verticalement pour un véhicule soit une position correspondant à un mode non opérationnel sans projection verticale afin de permettre à l'équipement de manipulation de matériau de charger ou de décharger l'extrémité arrière d'un véhicule parqué adjacent au dock de chargement. Lorsque la lèvre (13) se trouve dans une position opérationnelle en porte-à-faux enjambant un espace formé entre le bord frontal de la rampe et la plate-forme d'un véhicule parqué, la plaque barrière prend une position correspondant au mode non opérationnel qui permet à l'équipement de manipulation du matériau de passer par dessus la rampe (11) et la lèvre (13) pour aller au-dessus de la plate-forme ou plateau du véhicule parqué.
摘要:
A dock leveler assembly and latch mechanism therefor are provided which are adapted to automatically cause unlatching of components thereof if the assembly is activated without a vehicle being present or if the vehicle moves away from a dock; thus enabling the assembly to readily return to an inoperative mode position.

A monitoring system (10) for a truck document facility includes a data processor (44) which continually processes signals from sensors which monitor the conditions of locking devices (17 to 21) at each of a plurality of loading/unloading stations (12 to 16). The processor operates a monitor (46) to display various types of data including data as to the current status of the locking devices (17 to 21), load time data and data showing the time of existence and non-existence of a truck at each station.
摘要:
A signal and control system is provided in which signal lights are provided on the inside and outside of a dock facility to give dock personnel and truck drivers clearly visible indications of when it is safe or unsafe to load or unload a truck or to park or remove a truck, dependent upon the condition of switches on the inside which are accessible to dock personnel and to the condition of a locking device on the outside which is engageable with the safety bar of a truck. A slip clutch and a position sensor cooperate to control and avoid adverse effects of slippage in the locking device, a horn is energized to provide a loud audible warning of dangerous conditions, a key pad is used to enter a security code and other features are provided for increased safety and reliability.

A roller door apparatus (10) is provided that includes a roller means (18) and a means journalling the roller means (18) for reversible rotation about a central longitudinal roller axis. The roller door (10) also includes end rail means (16) for a reciprocal linear movement between a first position adjacent the roller means (18) and a second position away from the roller means (18). Also included is a flexible curtain means (11) with the one end attached to the end rail means (16) and the other end attached to the roller means (18), such that the curtain means (11) closes a door opening with the end rail means (16) in the second position. The curtain means (11) winds onto the roller means (18) when the end rail (16) moves from the second position to the first position and vice versa. The roller door (10) further includes a reversible electric drive motor means (42) coupled to the roller means (18) during movement of the end rail means (16) for rapid acceleration of the curtain means (11) during an initial portion of each movement, and for control of deceleration of the curtain means (11) to zero velocity during a final portion of each movement.
