Claims
- 1. A vehicle support track assembly for supporting a vehicle at a service area which comprises:
- (a) a pair of parallel tracks in spaced relation,
- (b) means to support said tracks adjacent a service stall for movement transversely in relation to each other,
- (c) means responsive to contact with the front wheels of a vehicle to cause said track to move to register with the track width of a particular vehicle, and
- (d) a cable response system incorporated with said transversely movable tracks wherein a transverse force on said means responsive to contact with the front wheels at the lead in end of said tracks is transmitted to the other end of said tracks to cause an equal response at said other ends.
- 2. A system as defined in claim 1 in which said cable response system comprises two cables anchored to stationary points at opposite ends of said tracks, each said cable passing around pulleys at each end of said respective tracks wherein a transverse motion of said tracks at one end will effect an equal transverse motion in parallel relation of said tracks at the other end.
