Autran Foldable Auto Platform

A platform is shown above with top, side and bottom wall portions removed and in a folded condition in which lock elements (blue) are in horizontal positions. To lock a car to the platform, all four of the lock elements are rotated 90 degrees to vertical positions. Then the front and rear elements are moved rearwardly and forwardly to engage the front and rear bumpers of a car. The platform will then be in an unfolded condition as shown below.

An operating mechanism for the lock elements is more clearly shown in Platform Operating Mechanism in Folded Condition
