PITTSBURGH, Sept. 19, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- "I'm a truck driver and I wanted to create a means to prevent attacking rioters from immobilizing my tractor-trailer by disconnecting the glad hand. I also know two drivers who have experienced their air lines becoming disconnected while driving down the road," said an inventor, from Burlington, N.C., "so I invented the GLAD HAND AIRLINE LOCK. My design would ensure the pneumatic brakes are not tampered with by a criminal. It will also improve safety on the roads by making sure these connections remain secure in transit."

The invention prevents the pneumatic brakes of a semi-trailer from being locked by rioters. In doing so, it ensures that the tractor-trailer is fully operational. As a result, it provides added safety and protection and it allows the truck driver to escape. It also prevents airlines from being disconnected and brakes from locking or not working. The invention features a reliable design that is easy to apply to red or blue connections so it is ideal for professional truck drivers, trucking companies, etc. Additionally, a prototype is available.

The original design was submitted to the National sales office of InventHelp. It is currently available for licensing or sale to manufacturers or marketers.
