ABSTRACT:
A device for securing helicopters and the like with respect to a support surface such as the deck of a ship has a pair of arresting beams adapted to be mounted on the support surface. The arresting beams are pivotally connected together for arcuate movement between spaced positions in which they define a sector-shaped target area and co-operating positions in which the beams close onto a probe depending from a helicopter to be secured. Hydraulic cylinder and ram devices are provided for moving the beams. The beams can be locked with respect to one another by, for example, a catch and keeper assembly. They can also be locked angularly with respect to a pivot axis of the arresting beams.
