| 070225000 | Wheel | 11 |
| 20090090146 | WHEEL LOCK - A wheel lock mounted for preventing removal of the wheel from the axle includes a cup shaped base portion with an opening to receive a wheel stud for threaded engagement with a lug nut to clamp the base portion to the wheel. A cup shaped cover portion nests within the base portion to enclose the stud and lug nut. A key actuated locking member extends simultaneously through the base and cover portions to prevent separation. The cover portion interlocks with the locking portion to prevent forced rotation of the cover portion relative the base portion. The contour of the base portion or the positioning of the locking member may be configured to prevent rotating the device about the stud. The cover portion may include a flange that bears against the rim of the base portion giving the wheel lock a contiguous exterior surface that is difficult to pry apart. | 04-09-2009 |
| 20090188284 | APPARATUS FOR IMMOBILIZING A VEHICLE - An apparatus for immobilizing a vehicle includes an assembly of components that clamp onto a vehicle wheel rim of a vehicle. The components are capable of being locked in the assembled state. A cable is provided having a first end and a second end. Both the first end and the second end of the cable are secured to the assembly. At least one of the first end or the second end is detachably secured to the assembly to enable the cable to be wrapped around parts of the vehicle and then secured to the assembly when the assembly is in the assembled state. | 07-30-2009 |
| 20100199728 | LOCK FOR KEEPING A TWO-WHEELED VEHICLE IN A PARKED CONDITION - This invention relates to a lock for keeping a two-wheeled vehicle in a parked condition. The lock includes a fixed bracket having a movable device able to move from an open retracted position to a position in which it locks at least one of the wheels, and vice versa. The movable device locks the wheel by gripping the ends of its axle through pads made of an elastic material. | 08-12-2010 |

| 20080282754 | Vehicular Wheel Lock - A vehicle lock for substantially immobilizing the wheels of a vehicle includes an extensible bar with a pair of shafts affixed at either end thereof. Each shaft is configured to pass through an orifice on a wheel of a vehicle. A portion of the shaft extends through the associated orifice, and a locking mechanism is affixed to the exposed end of the shaft. In an embodiment the shaft is rigidly affixed to the extensible bar, and in other embodiments the shafts are connected to the bar by means a flexible connection that allows the user to change the orientation of the shafts relative to the bar. | 11-20-2008 |
| 20090019901 | Wheel Chock - A method of chocking a wheel comprises a step of providing a wheel chock. The wheel chock comprises a stationary body and a rocking body. The rocking body is pivotally connected to the stationary body. The method also comprises a step of rolling a wheel into contact with the rocking body in a manner causing the rocking body to rotate to a wheel securing position relative to the stationary body and causing the wheel to reach a chocked position relative to the stationary body. The method further comprises a step of activating a locking mechanism that limits pivotal movement of the rocking body away from the wheel securing position relative to the stationary body. The activating of the locking mechanism occurs while the wheel is in the chocked position. After activating the locking mechanism, the wheel is fully secured to the wheel chock. | 01-22-2009 |
| 20090199603 | STEERING LOCK INDICATOR FOR SELF-STEERING AXLE - A land vehicle includes a wheeled axle that is operable to be selectively self-steering. The axle includes a ground wheel that is operable to be selectively locked into a straight-ahead position so that self-steering is restricted. The land vehicle also includes a wheel lockout indicator system that is operable to sense when the ground wheel is locked in the straight-ahead position and can alert an operator by confirming that the ground wheel has been locked in the straight-ahead position. | 08-13-2009 |
| 20100107708 | WHEEL BOOT - A boot is positionable about a rotatable wheel having an axle extending therefrom. A pair of mating components include interconnecting elements for attaching the elements about the wheel preventing non-destructible detachment of the mating components. Flanges extend from the mating components to prevent attempts to rotate the boot about the wheel. The flanges which support the interconnecting elements are frangibly removable from the body to permit destructible detachment of the mating components from the wheel. The boot may support an electronic tag such as radio frequency identification (RFID) tag or an electronic article surveillance (EAS) tag. | 05-06-2010 |
| 20110247377 | TIRE LOCK - A tire lock includes a body to which a positioning member and a stop member are connected. A threaded rod is located in a movable member in the body and a clamping member is threadedly connected to the threaded rod. A plate is connected to the body and located at the conjunction of the body and the fixed member. A rotating unit includes a shaft which is located in the passage of the threaded rod. A first driving member is fixed to the threaded rod and located outside of the passage. A second driving member is fixed to the shaft so that a second protrusion on the second driving member drives a first protrusion on the first driving member to move the clamping member relative to the threaded rod. | 10-13-2011 |
| 070227000 | Spoke gap traversing type | 1 |
| 20100212379 | Bicycle lock - A bicycle lock includes a first part and a second part located close to bicycle wheels by two bolts and two respective protection members are connected to the first part and the second part respectively. The protection members cover the heads of the bolts so that the unauthorized person cannot access the bolts to detach the bicycle lock from the bicycle. A lock rod is connected to the first part which is pivotable about the bolt corresponding thereto so as to be inserted into the second part to lock the wheel. | 08-26-2010 |
| 070228000 | Brake type | 2 |
| 20090173117 | Vehicle Lock - The brake bolt and the lock cylinder of the vehicle lock are mounted in a part of the vehicle for preventing the rotation of a wheel of the vehicle in a locked state. The brake bolt and lock cylinder are mounted in a brake bolt bore and a lock bore, respectively, located in the swing arm, the chain guard, or a lock body mounted over the axle-retaining nut. The vehicle lock engages a ventilation hole on the rotor, a ventilation hole on the sprocket, the teeth of the sprocket, or a hole on the hub to prevent rotation of the wheel in the locked state. Preferably, the lock cylinder is mounted to the vehicle in both the locked state and the unlocked state, and in the unlocked state the brake bolt is removed from the brake bolt bore for operation of the vehicle. | 07-09-2009 |
| 20100319417 | BRAKE DISK LOCK HAVING A TILTED LOCKING BOLT - The invention relates to a brake disk lock having a lock body which has a first housing section and a second housing section which bound a receiving gap for the reception of a brake disk in a typically U-shaped arrangement. A locking bolt is provided at the first housing section and is movable along a closing direction from a release position into a closed position. In the closed position, the locking bolt engages into an engagement opening of the second housing section and closes the receiving gap. The closing direction of the locking bolt is aligned obliquely to the receiving gap of the lock body at an angle different from 90°. | 12-23-2010 |
