Patent

CA 2338469

A restraint device for restraining a vehicle to a loading dock is disclosed. The restraint device has a pivot member with a hooking member pivotable between an upwards operative position and a downwards inoperative position. The device also has springs for biasing the pivot member in the upwards operative position and an actuator member for bringing back the pivot member from the upwards operative position to the downwards inoperative position. Such a restraint device is securable to a loading dock equipped with a dock leveller which has a platform pivotable between a raised position and a lowered position and a lip. When the platform is in the lowered position, the lip is hanging in a pendant position and engages and presses on the top end of the actuator member thus maintaining the pivot member in the downwards inoperative position. When the platform is pivoted in the raised position in order to proceed with a loading operation of a truck, the lip is caused to move upwards thereby releasing the pressure on the actuator member which causes the pivot member to move in the upwards operative position, therefore hooking the truck to the loading dock.
