ABSTRACT:
A parking device is disclosed which includes a substantially horizontally extending elongated arm for engaging the underpanel of a vehicle parked in the parking area. The arm is pivotally connected to the lower end of a post on which the parking meter is mounted. The elongated arm is above the surface of the parking area and is movable between a position in which it may engage the underpanel of a parked vehicle and prevent removal of the vehicle from parking position adjacent the post and another position in which the arm will not engage the underpanel of a vehicle parked therein so that the vehicle may be moved into and out of parking position adjacent the post. A bumper, actuated by a vehicle to be parked, is mounted on an intermediate portion of the post. Structure, which includes the bumper, simultaneously actuates the parking meter and moves the arm into the position in which it may engage the underpanel of a vehicle parked adjacent the post. Upon returning to his vehicle, the operator thereof need only insert a sufficient monetary amount in the parking meter whereupon the parking meter will deactuate the structure so that the arm thereby moves from its position in which it may engage the underpanel of the parked vehicle to its position in which it will not engage the underpanel so the parked vehicle may be removed from parking position adjacent the post.
