Abstract: An automotive wedge guide is set forth for securement adjacent a forward exterior tread surface of an automotive wheel to present a guide surface to prevent a garden-type hose from binding between the automotive tread and the support surface of the automobile tire and avoid binding of the garden hose during a washing procedure of an automobile.

Abstract: A wheel chocking device consisting of two components, one plate member having a flange at the end and a second plate having overlapping flange engaging sides, which can be assembled to form an inverted V-shaped wheel chocking device for use when changing a vehicle's tire, during vehicle maintenance or when parking a vehicle on a hill. This device can be quickly and easily disassembled for storage by sliding the first member into the same flange-engaging sides of the second member, and then stored in a proper location with the jack and spare tire where it can be located for future use, by attaching it to the jack post and spare tire carrier assembly through a slot provided in the plate member.

Abstract: A heavy duty chock, for use in preventing the movement of wheeled vehicles, particularly commercial or military aircraft, is triangular, preferably equitriangular in cross-section, has a longitudinal axis, and is divided transverse to its longitudinal axis into a number of triangular sections. The clock has an end section at each end thereof and a number of central sections located between the end sections. Each central section defines at least one space extending longitudinally therethrough. The end and central sections are formed from an elastomeric material which is a synthetic rubber, a natural rubber or a mixture thereof. The chock comprises clamping member, such as a flared hollow pipe, for holding the sections with adjacent triangular faces in tight abutment, and an interlock, such as co-operating abutments and recesses, for preventing relative rotational movement between adjacent sections about the longitudinal axis.

Abstract: A restraining apparatus used to secure cable reels during transportation or storage wherein a restraining device is inserted between a flange of a cable reel and a supporting surface and an associated clamp is pivoted and tightened onto the flange securing the apparatus in position.
