ABSTRACT:
An apparatus releasably clamps a wheeled or castored object to the floor or other surface to thereby restrain its movement during a seismic event such as an earthquake. The apparatus comprises a pair of wheel tracks or receivers which guide the castors into position whereby a pair of horizontally projecting pins on the receivers enter corresponding openings on the object and snubbers on the receivers abut the object. An overcenter locking clamp releasably holds the object in place.
