Abstract
Described herein is a vehicle cone placer and chock assembly. The vehicle cone placer is equipped with collapsible traffic cones, a motorized linear actuator, and may have LED safety lights. The vehicle cone placer is telescopic, remote controlled, and mountable to a vehicle. The vehicle cone placer and chock assembly includes at least two chock systems and adjustable brackets hydraulically operated and with at least one motorized assembly. The vehicle cone placer and chock assembly is remotely operated and self-contained as components of the vehicle.
Claims5
A system for remotely placing visual traffic safety apparatuses from a vehicle comprising:
- at least one collapsible cone assembly adapted to be in an extended, vertical, and substantially frustoconical form or a collapsed and substantially planar form;
- at least one retractable, telescoping rod assembly disposed at least partially within at least one housing assembly, the housing assembly disposed substantially beneath a vehicle, the telescoping rod assembly adapted to be in an extended or retracted state;
- at least one foldable, substantially planer, platform assembly coupled to a distal end of the at least one telescoping rod assembly, the platform assembly adapted to be in an unfolded, substantially horizontal state or a folded, substantially vertical state;
- the at least one collapsible cone assembly coupled to the platform assembly at, when the platform assembly is viewed in an unfolded state, a top portion of the platform assembly;
- at least one rod motor assembly electrically coupled to a rod actuator adapted to extend and retract the rod assembly;
- at least one platform motor assembly electrically coupled to a platform actuator adapted to fold and unfold the at least one platform assembly;
- at least one cone motor assembly electrically coupled to a cone actuator and adapted to extend or collapse the at least one cone assembly;
- and
- at least one controller assembly electronically coupled to the at least one rod, platform, and cone actuator assemblies adapted for a user to operate the at least one rod, platform, and cone motor assemblies.
A tire locking system comprising:
- at least one chock assembly, the chock assembly having at least one substantially curved front face, the at least one front face adapted to substantially contiguously and frictionally couple to a treaded surface of at least one vehicle tire member, the chock assembly adapted to be in a coupled or uncouple state;
- at least one hydraulically operated frame assembly adapted to be in a retracted or extended state;
- at least one hydraulically operated extender assembly connected by a proximal portion of the at least one extender assembly to a distal portion of the at least one frame assembly, and a distal portion of the at least one extender assembly coupled to a back face of the at least one chock assembly, the at least one extender assembly adapted, when in an extended state, to press the at least one front face of the at least one chock assembly against the treaded surface of the at least one tire member;
- at least one actuator assembly electronically coupled to the at least one frame assembly and the at least one extender assembly;
- and
- at least one controller assembly electronically coupled to the at least one chock actuator assembly and at least one chock motor assembly and adapted for a user to control the at least one frame assembly and the at least one extender assembly.
