Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2006089347A1] The curtain locking mechanism (10) includes a hook (12) and latch assembly (14). The mechanism (10) is adapted for installation below the base (16) of a truck or trailer. The latch assembly (14) comprises a drive means (18) in the form of a pneumatic ram, adapted to pivot a shaft (20). The ram (18) is pivotally connected to a lever arm (22) of the shaft (20). The latch assembly (14) further comprises a crank (24) on the shaft (20) adjacent the hook (12). The hook (12) is attached to the curtain (26) by means of a length adjustment device (28) and a curtain strap (30). The curtain strap (30) is attached at one end to the curtain (26), such as by welding or stitching, and attached to the hook (12) at the other end via the adjustment device (28). In use, the latch assembly (14) can be moved between a locked configuration and an unlocked configuration. In the locked configuration, the latch assembly (14) engages the hook (12). In the unlocked configuration, the latch assembly (14) is disengaged from the hook (12).
