ABSTRACT:
A locking pin assembly for locking an end of a cargo container onto the container-carrying platform of a transport vehicle. The assembly has a retractable locking pin movable between a fully rearwardly extended container-locking position and a fully forwardly retracted container-freeing position. The locking pin is movable between these two positions by manually swinging a pivoted operating lever which extends through a longitudinally elongated U-shaped slot in a rigidly immovable latching gate. A bias spring urges the operating lever into the ends of the U-shaped slot to latch the lever and hence latch the locking pin in the absence of manual pressure on the lever. De-latching of the operating lever and locking pin is accomplished by a single-handed operation involving merely pressing down on the lever, with de-latching being automatic on releasing the lever.
A separate manual operation of the latching gate is not required, and being rigidly immovable, the latching gate cannot be dislodged by jolting of the transport vehicle.
