Claims22
A system for locking a vehicle, the system comprising:
- a slot structure defining a slot operative to receive a portion of the vehicle;
- a first base;
- a second base;
- a first arm coupled to the first base;
- a second arm coupled to the second base;
- and
- a lock assembly, wherein, when the first and second arms are positioned such that a first arm lock portion of the first arm is aligned with a second arm lock portion of the second arm, the lock assembly is adjustable between a first lock assembly state where the lock assembly does not physically couple the first arm lock portion of the first arm and the second arm lock portion of the second arm and a second lock assembly state where the lock assembly does physically couple the first arm lock portion of the first arm and the second arm lock portion of the second arm.
A system comprising:
- a first base;
- a second base;
- a first arm rotatably coupled to the first base;
- a second arm coupled to the second base;
- and
- a lock bar that extends through a lock bar passageway in one of the first arm or the second arm, wherein, when a lock bar receptacle in the other one of the first arm or the second arm is aligned with the lock bar passageway, the lock bar is operative to move within the lock bar passageway such that an end of the lock bar enters the lock bar receptacle.
A system for locking a vehicle comprising a vehicle wheel coupled to a vehicle chassis, the system comprising:
- a slot structure defining a slot that is operative to receive a portion of the vehicle;
- a first base;
- a second base;
- a first arm coupled to the first base;
- a second arm coupled to the second base;
- and
- a lock assembly, wherein, when the portion of the vehicle is received by the slot and a first arm lock portion of the first arm is aligned with a second arm lock portion of the second arm, a lock bar of the lock assembly is operative to be positioned in a lock bar path to physically couple the first arm lock portion of the first arm and the second arm lock portion of the second arm, and wherein the lock bar path passes through a vehicle area defined by the vehicle wheel and/or by the vehicle chassis.
