Abstract
A wheel clamp having an outer hook; an inner hook; a plate member having a plate aperture; a lock mechanism, wherein the lock mechanism is at least partly surrounded by a housing; the outer hook comprises a first outer hook member, a second outer hook member, and a third outer hook member; a female receiving member receives a first end of the third outer hook member; the inner hook comprises a first inner hook member, a second inner hook member, and a third inner hook member; and the first inner hook member is perforated to provide an inner hole, the first outer hook member is perforated to provide a plurality of outer holes, wherein when the inner hole is aligned with one of the plurality of the outer holes the lock mechanism is capable of engaging the inner hole with one of the plurality of outer holes.
Claims22
A wheel clamp, comprising:
- an outer hook;
- an inner hook;
- a plate member having a plate aperture therethrough, wherein a female receiving member both surrounds and extends from the plate aperture;
- a lock mechanism, wherein the lock mechanism is at least partly surrounded by a housing;
- wherein the outer hook comprises a first outer hook member, a second outer hook member, and a third outer hook member, wherein the outer and inner hooks are disposed to engage in a slidably fashion with respect to each other,
- wherein the female receiving member receives a first end of the third outer hook member,
- wherein the inner hook comprises a first inner hook member, a second inner hook member, and a third inner hook member,
- wherein an elongated extension member extends from the third inner hook member, and
- wherein the first inner hook member is perforated to provide an inner hole, the first outer hook member is perforated to provide a plurality of outer holes, wherein when the inner hole is aligned with one of the plurality of the outer holes the lock mechanism is capable of engaging the inner hole with one of the plurality of outer holes to prevent movement of the first outer hook member relative to the first inner hook member and thereby preventing movement of the outer hook relative to the inner hook.
