ABSTRACT:
A spring-loaded outboard side lock for restraining the movement of a cargo body. The outboard side lock (10) includes a base (20) secured to the outboard sides of a main cargo deck (12), the base having a guideway (38) in which a plunger (22) is slidably mounted. The plunger has formed in it a recess (44) and a pair of abutment walls (52) that extend generally perpendicular to the bottom of the plunger. An actuator (54) is disposed within the recess and is coupled to a lever (24) for reciprocal movement, and a pair of springs (50) extend between a pair of transverse spring abutting wings (64) of the actuator and the abutment walls of the plunger. Activation of the lever moves the actuator toward the cargo body (16) to be restrained, whereby the transverse spring abutting wings of the actuator act against the springs, which act against the abutment walls, to urge the plunger into engagement with the cargo body to restrain its movement and to maintain engagement in the event the cargo body attempts to move away from the outboard side lock. Deactivation of the lever causes the plunger to disengage the cargo body, thereby permitting its movement.
