Abstract
A wheel locking device comprising a number of interlocking components that are adapted to receive a wheel (or a wheeled apparatus), and said components can be adjusted to accommodate a variety of wheels of different diameters. The wheel locking device further comprises a rotatable and adjustable bar that is utilized to secure the wheel in place. In further embodiments, the device comprises a lock receiving bore which is adapted to receive a lock.
Claims17
A wheel locking device, comprising:
- a base component;
- and
- a vertical restraining component adjustably connected to an external side of the base component;
- wherein the base component and the vertical restraining component are adapted to receive a wheel;
- wherein the vertical restraining component comprises a vertical member being integrally connected to a top member;
- further comprising a bar rotatably connected to an external edge of the vertical member of the vertical restraining component;
- wherein the bar further comprises a vertical shaft, a first horizontal shaft, and a second horizontal shaft;
- and
- wherein the first horizontal shaft extends outwardly from a middle portion of the vertical shaft and the second horizontal shaft extends outwardly from a top end of the vertical shaft.

A wheel locking device, comprising:
- a base component having a bottom member, said bottom member having a first opposing length and a second opposing length, wherein a lip is integrally connected to the first opposing length of the bottom member and extends upwards from said bottom member, wherein a side member is integrally connected to the second opposing length of the bottom member and extends upwards from said bottom member;
- a vertical restraining component having a vertical member being integrally connected to a top member;
- a bar rotatably connected to an external edge of the vertical member of the vertical restraining component;
- and
- a horizontal restraining component adapted to be received between the side member, the bottom member, and the lip of the base component;
- wherein an internal side of the vertical member of the vertical restraining component is adjustably connected to an external side of the side member of the base component, wherein the horizontal restraining component is adjustably connected to an internal side of the side member of the base component;
- wherein the base component, the vertical restraining component, and the horizontal restraining component are adapted to receive a wheel;
- wherein the bar further comprises a vertical shaft, a first horizontal shaft, and a second horizontal shaft;
- wherein the first horizontal shaft extends outwardly from a middle portion of the vertical shaft and the second horizontal shaft extends outwardly from a top end of the vertical shaft;
- and wherein the vertical shaft defines a bar axis about which the bar rotates.

A wheel locking device, comprising:
- a base component having a bottom member being adapted to engage a flat surface, said bottom member having a first opposing length and a second opposing length, wherein a lip is integrally connected to the first opposing length of the bottom member and extends upwards from said bottom member, wherein a side member is integrally connected to the second opposing length of the bottom member and extends upwards from said bottom member, wherein the side member of the base component defines a plurality of notches spanning from a bottom edge to a top edge of the side member, wherein the side member of the base component further defines a groove positioned distal to the plurality of notches of the side member;
- a vertical restraining component having a vertical member being integrally connected to a top member at about a ninety degree angle, wherein the vertical member of the vertical restraining member defines a plurality of notches spanning from a bottom edge to a top edge of the vertical member, wherein the plurality of notches of the side member of the base component correspond with the plurality of notches of the vertical restraining member, wherein an internal side of the vertical member of the vertical restraining component is adjustably connected to an external side of the side member of the base component;
- a pair of housings connected to an external edge of the vertical member of the vertical restraining component;
- a bar rotatably adapted to be received and move vertically in said pair of housings, said bar having a vertical shaft, a first horizontal shaft, and a second horizontal shaft, wherein the first horizontal shaft extends outwardly from a middle portion of the vertical shaft at about a ninety degree angle and the second horizontal shaft extends outwardly from a top end of the vertical shaft at about a ninety degree angle, wherein the vertical shaft defines a bar axis about which the bar rotates within said pair of housings, wherein the second horizontal shaft is adapted to rotatably engage an external edge of said top member in a lockable position and the first horizontal shaft is adapted to be received in the groove and extend through said side member of the base component;
- a horizontal restraining component adapted to be received between the side member, the bottom member, and the lip of the base component, wherein the horizontal restraining component comprises a first wall integrally connected to a second wall at about a ninety degree angle, wherein an external side of the first wall is slidably connected to an internal side of the side member of the base component;
- wherein the top member of the vertical restraining component defines a lock receiving bore being adapted to receive a lock and positioned adjacent to the external edge of said top member, wherein said lock receiving bore permits said second horizontal shaft to be locked in the lockable position against said top member;
- and
- wherein the base component, the vertical restraining component, and the horizontal restraining component are adapted to receive a wheel.
