System for mounting and releasing a wheel to and from a wheel support

A system for locking and releasing a wheel (1) to and from a wheel support (2), the system comprising:

• an interlocking mechanism (3) comprising:
• a guiding slot (4), with a centerline(S), on the wheel support (2), and
• a guided structure (5), positioned on a stationary wheel section (6) of the wheel (1), configured for mating with the guiding slot (4),
• characterized by a locking tool (7) comprising two lever arms (8a, b) joined by a gripping bridge (9) at one end, wherein each lever arm, at the other end, comprises:
• an arm pivot structure (10) interacting with a wheel pivot structure (11) positioned on the stationary wheel section (6) below the guided structure (5),
• a pushing arm (13) comprising:
• a lower pushing arm surface (14) interacting with a lower slot surface (15) in a support slot (16) in the wheel support (2) for pushing the guided structure (5) into the guiding slot (4), and
• an upper pushing arm surface (17) interacting with an upper slot surface (18) in the support slot (16) for pushing the guided structure (5) a first distance (D1) out of the guiding slot (4),
• wherein the arm pivot structure (10) and the lower slot surface (15) is substantially positioned along a line (L) perpendicular to the centerline(S) when the wheel and locking tool (7) is in a locked position.
