Systems and method for securement of a container to a vehicle having a brake system

A system for a vehicle having a brake system, comprising:

• a retention device adapted to engage and secure a container to the vehicle responsive to operation of the brake system;
• wherein the retention device comprises:
• a housing;
• an actuator;
• a latch;
• a linkage device having a first link and a second link;
• and
• an actuation mechanism comprising a plunger and a spring.

A method undertaken by a vehicle having a brake system, comprising:

• coupling a retention device adapted to engage and secure a container to the vehicle responsive to operation of the brake system, wherein the retention device comprises:
• a housing;
• an actuator;
• a latch;
• and
• an actuation mechanism comprising a plunger and spring;
• coupling the brake system to the actuation mechanism, the brake system comprising:
• a first fluid reservoir;
• an orifice flow control device coupled to the first fluid reservoir via a first supply line;
• and
• a second fluid reservoir coupled to the orifice via a second supply line and to the actuation mechanism via a third supply line;
• engaging the actuator of the retention device, wherein engaging the actuator extends the latch into an orifice of the container, and wherein the plunger of the actuation mechanism is extended into the latch of the container retention device.
