Abstract
A guide member for use in connection with a wheel of a vehicle includes a wall and a base. The wall extends from a lower surface to an upper surface. The lower surface defines a support plane. The wall has an inner surface and an outer surface. The base extends from the lower surface of the wall. The base has a top surface and a bottom surface. The base is disposed transverse to the wall at a non-perpendicular angle to define a space between the bottom surface of the base and the support plane. The inner surface of the wall and the top surface of the base define a receiving pocket configured to receive a wheel of the vehicle therein, whereby the outer surface of the wall guides a longitudinal flexible member around the wheel of the vehicle.

A guide member for use in connection with a wheel of a vehicle, the guide member comprising:
- a wall extending from a lower surface to an upper surface, the lower surface defining a support plane, the wall having an inner surface and an outer surface;
- and
- a base extending from the lower surface of the wall, the base having a top surface and a bottom surface, the base disposed transverse to the wall at a non-perpendicular angle to define a space between the bottom surface of the base and the support plane defined by the lower surface of the wall, the inner surface of the wall and the top surface of the base defining a receiving pocket configured to receive a wheel of the vehicle therein, whereby the outer surface of the wall guides a longitudinal flexible member around the wheel of the vehicle.
