ABSTRACT:
This invention is directed to a mechanism for locking and restraining one or more objects of various lengths and diameters or widths in a holding rack of the type in which an end of the object is seated in a depression in a fixed base, the base being secured immovably. The disclosed invention includes a shaft which has a radius which varies with respect to a longitudinal axis for pivoting and further has notches along its length at the point of its largest radius. A cap member, receptive to an end of the object not seated in the base, is slidably mounted upon the shaft and is able to engage the notches of the shaft whenever the shaft is provided into a given position. There is also provided a slotted plate which is located between the shaft and the cap member such that as the cap member slides on the shaft, it moves within the constraints of the slot on the plate, and is prevented from rotating about the shaft. A lever extends radially from one end of the shaft, and a linking mechanism communicating with said lever is provided for operating a plurality of such locking devices simultaneously. A padlock can be provided for restraining the locking devices simultaneously in the given position wherein the cap member and an associated shaft are restrained from moving with respect to the fixed base.
