ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for stopping a truck such as a larry car for coke oven operation at a preselected position in relation to an object such as a coke oven. The apparatus includes stopping members such as blocks placed along the path of movement of the truck and a clamping mechanism carried by the truck and adapted to cooperate with one of the blocks to locate and stop the truck. The clamping mechanism includes a pair of levers swingable about axes perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the truck by the operation of a fluid-operated cylinder and adapted to clamp the selected block from the front and rear sides of the block. In operation, the truck is temporarily stopped by a brake at such a position that the selected block is positioned between two levers and then the levers are swung toward each other to clamp the block therebetween to locate and stop the truck precisely at the designated position. During the running of the truck, the levers are laterally swung to clear the blocks.
