Wheel chocks for use on vehicle transport carriers

A wheel chock for use on a motor vehicle transporter for releasable attachment to an elongated restraining element affixed to the transporter and having a pair of upright walls, at least one of which contains a longitudinal series of uniformly spaced and sized holes, the chock comprising

• a. an elongated body formed with a transverse, open bottom recess for receiving the restraining element and being bounded at one side by a transverse wall;
• b. a pair of locking pins carried by the body, projecting into the recess from the transverse wall, and being arranged to engage in alternate holes in the restraining element;
• c. a transverse latching member mounted for pivotal movement on the body at the side of the recess opposite the transverse wall so it may be swung into and out of the recess when the body is on the restraining element and the pins are engaged in holes in that element;
• d. the latching member having a latching position, in which it is disposed in the recess along one of the upright walls of the restraining element and coacts with the transverse body wall to limit movement of the body in its longitudinal direction and prevent withdrawal of the pins from their associated holes;
• and
• e. a manually releasable locking means for selectively holding the latching member in latching position.
