  • Wheel lock
    Patent number: 7673482
    Abstract: 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.
