Patent ID: 7871228

Claim:
A device ( 1 ) for securing a transported vehicle when the transported vehicle is being transported on a bearing plane ( 9 ) by at least one of a wheel ( 12 ) and at least one anchoring point ( 13 ) of a chassis of the transported vehicle ( 14 ), the device ( 1 ) comprising a link with a coupling end ( 5 ) for coupling to the bearing plane ( 9 ) and a tensioning end ( 6 ) that cooperates with a tensioning and retaining mechanism ( 3 ) of the link, and between the coupling end ( 5 ) and the tensioning end ( 6 ), an area intended to secure the transported vehicle on the bearing plane ( 9 ), between the coupling end ( 5 ) and the tensioning end ( 6 ) of the link is a coupling and return assembly ( 4 ) of the link comprising a means of attachment for immobilizing the assembly ( 4 ) on the bearing plane ( 9 ), the assembly ( 4 ) being passed through by the link and being able to move on and along the link and having a means of retention separable from the assembly ( 4 ) and one of passed through and borne by the link and capable of forming with the link an attachment with at least one anchoring point ( 13 ) for securing the transported vehicle via its chassis during transport, thus making it possible to maintain the assembly ( 4 ) on the bearing plane ( 9 ) to form a second attachment for the link to the bearing plane, the link being capable of immobilizing the transported vehicle by pressing down on a tire of the wheel, and thus also or additionally making it possible to send the link upwards to create, by tensioning the link using the tensioning and retaining mechanism ( 3 ), a downward tractive force applied to the chassis of the transported vehicle.
