US Patent 12071059 Controlling attachment of equipment to a vehicle deck

Techniques control attachment of equipment to a vehicle deck. Such techniques involve positioning an equipment base that serves as a base of the equipment on the vehicle deck. Such techniques further involve extending a latching mechanism of the equipment base to provide a first latching width that captures the equipment base between a set of deck clamps and a deck jamb mounted to the vehicle deck to fasten the equipment to the vehicle deck. Such techniques further involve contracting the latching mechanism to provide the equipment base with a second latching width that enables the equipment base to escape from the set of deck clamps and the deck jamb mounted to the vehicle deck to unfasten the equipment from the vehicle deck.
