A DEVICE FOR RELEASABLY SECURING ONE UNIT AGAINST A SECOND UNIT Abstract of the Disclosure A device is provided for use in releasably securing one unit (e.g., the rear end of a truck vehicle) against a second unit (e.g., a loading dock). The device comprises an elongated member mounted for controlled endwise movement relative to a locking assembly, the latter being adjustably mounted on the second unit. Carried by the elongated member and extending from one end thereof is an attaching means which is adapted to be releasably secured to the one unit when the elongated member is disposed in a predetermined relative position with respect to the locking assembly. A friction means is adjustably mounted within the locking assembly for movement between operative and inoperative positions. When the friction means is in an operative position, the exterior of the elongated member is fric- tionally engaged thereby so that the elongated member can be moved endwise in only one direction, i.e., away from the one end of the elongated member from which the attaching means extends. When the friction means is in an inoperative position, the elongated member can be moved in either end- wise direction relative to the locking assembly. The friction means is biased to normally assume an operative position. Manually actuated means is carried on the locking assembly for moving the friction means from an operative position to an inoperative position.
