ABSTRACT:
A bar lock arrangement that includes a bar of rectangular cross section, a bar lock received on an end of the bar for releasably latching the bar to a frame in a position to secure freight, and a swing arm attached to the bar lock and pivotally mounted to the frame for enabling the bar to be moved from the latched position to a remote position for loading or unloading freight while keeping the bar captive to the frame. The bar lock has a spring-biased latch bolt and a locator pin projecting outwardly of the bar for receipt by a striker plate positioned on the frame opposite the end of the bar when the bar is in the latched position. The striker plate has an aperture for receiving the latch bolt to latch the bar and a slot for receiving the locator pin to guide the latch bolt into the aperture. A cable is attached to the latch bolt to retract the bolt from the aperture to unlatch the bar. The swing arm is secured on a pivot cantilevered from a mounting bracket affixed to the frame to permit the bar to be moved about an axis of the pivot.
