ABSTRACT:
Heavy duty locking apparatus is disclosed for locking together a pair of relatively movable members, such as the tilt cab and chassis components of a motor vehicle, wherein a movable locking pin is employed for releasably connecting the blade and housing elements which are respectively secured to said relatively movable members. In one form of the invention, the locking pin is laterally projected into the corresponding opening in the blade element but does not pass completely through the opening. Also, in the one form, the opening or cavity in the housing element is of substantial size in order to present an enlarged target area for entry of the blade element during the locking operation. A second form of the invention is similar to the first form in the above respects and includes a modification of the blade element and the housing part to improve the supporting relationship between these elements during the locking operation.
