Swivel bar pedal lock

A pedal lock for securing at least a foot pedal of a vehicle in an inoperable position, said pedal lock comprising an elongate frame comprising:

• a first locking mechanism configured to operate a swivel bar pivoted at a distal end of said elongate frame, said swivel bar pivotable between a first position and a second position;
• a mounting member extending from said elongate frame anchoring onto a fixed part of the vehicle body configured to immovably affix said pedal lock relative to said vehicle;
• and
• an actuator;
• wherein
• in said first position, said pedal lock is in a locked position whereby said swivel bar is configured to block movement of said foot pedal, rendering it inoperable;
• in said second position, said pedal lock is in an unlocked position whereby said swivel bar is configured to unblock and allow movement of said foot pedal;
• the actuator is configured to actuate the locking mechanism to rotate the swivel bar to the first position by hand actuation, thereby locking said pedal lock,
• wherein the elongate frame is substantially a tubular housing within which the locking mechanism is securely installed, and
• wherein the actuator is provided as a slide block adjacent the tubular housing, the sliding action of said block is translated to rotate the swivel bar to locked position.

• the actuator is configured to actuate the locking mechanism to rotate the swivel bar to the first position by hand actuation, thereby locking said pedal lock, and
• the mounting member comprises a reversibly extendable arm, wherein the distal end is provided with a base plate such that, upon the swivel bar is rotated to the first position, said extendable arm is extended to enable the base plate to engage the vehicle floor to render said pedal lock immovable, and wherein the first locking mechanism is also configured to secure said arm at the extended length.
