Abstract: A device includes a housing and a locking assembly disposed within a spaced defined by the housing. The housing defines a hole that extends through the housing. The locking assembly is configured to allow the device to slide along an elongate orthopedic device in a first direction and to hinder the device from sliding along an elongate orthopedic device in a second direction that is opposite the first direction.

Abstract: A wheel cover locking device is provided for securing an ornamental wheel cover to the lug of the vehicle wheel. An adjustable cable tightening device is arranged beneath the wheel cover with one end of a cable secured to a wheel lug by the wheel lug nut. A rotatable locking bolt is passed through the wheel cover and threadably engages a spool to which the other end of the cable is attached whereby on rotation of the locking bolt by use of a special key, the spool will wind the cable in a tightened position to firmly secure the wheel cover to the vehicle wheel.

Abstract: A wheel cover locking device provides adjustable locking capability for a wheel cover of an automotive vehicle utilizing a "C"-shaped bracket having an integral mounting flange, and a bolt receiving spacer lug assembly adjustably mounted on the bracket. The spacer lug is adjustable to accommodate wheel covers for automotive wheels of varying diameters. The spacer lug is fastened to a flat mid-portion of the bracket and adapted to fit beneath a wheel cover. On the outside of the wheel cover a cap member is placed, with a locking bolt extending through the cap member and the wheel cover and threaded into the spacer lug and bracket assembly. The bracket flange is a flat end portion having an aperture to permit securing the assembly to the wheel lug of the vehicle. The cap member or accompanying mounting washer includes a pin extending through the wheel cover to prevent rotative removal of the wheel cover from the wheel.
