Shock absorbing vehicle wheel chock

A shock absorbing wheel chock assembly adapted to be attached to a wire grid on a transporting vehicle floor for resisting movement and impact from a vehicle wheel, said assembly comprising a base member having a forward portion and a rearward portion, a plurality of teeth projecting downwardly from said base member and adapted to engage the wire grid, a head member supported by said base member for generally horizontal movement between a forward extended position and a rearward retracted position relative to said base member and adapted to engage the wheel, at least one compression spring extending between said base member and said head member for urging said head member toward said extended position, a lock member supported by said rearward portion of said base member for pivotal movement on a laterally extending generally horizontal axis between an upwardly inclined released position and a generally horizontal locked position, and a plurality of downwardly projecting teeth on said lock member and adapted to engage the grid wire in response to pivoting said lock member to said locked position.
