  • Publication number: 20230038387
    Abstract: The wheel chock is part of a wheel chock restraint system that also includes a base plate to prevent a parked vehicle from moving away in an unauthorized or accidental manner in a departure direction. The wheel chock includes a main body having a bottom base portion and a tire-engaging bulge. It also includes a tire deformation cavity, made within the main body on the tire-facing side. Teeth are provided underneath the bottom base portion of the wheel chock to engage at least one of the corresponding teeth provided on the base plate in a latched engagement. The wheel chock has an improved resistance to rollover and tipping when the wheel is pressed forcefully against the wheel chock.

  • Patent number: 10864895
    Abstract: The wheel chock is designed use over a base plate to prevent a parked vehicle from moving away in an unauthorized or accidental manner in a departure direction. The wheel chock includes a monolithic main body having a bottom base portion and a tire-engaging bulge. It also includes a tire deformation cavity, made within the main body on the tire-facing side, which is located immediately below the tire-engaging bulge. Teeth are provided underneath the bottom base portion of the wheel chock to uninterruptedly engage at least one among corresponding teeth provided on the base plate in a positive latched engagement. The wheel chock has an improved resistance to rollover and tipping when the wheel is pressed forcefully against the wheel chock.

  • Patent number: 10793119
    Abstract: The bidirectional wheel chock restraint system is used for preventing a parked vehicle from moving both in a forward direction and a rearward direction. The restraint system includes an elongated ground-anchored base plate having a plurality of stoppers that are transversally-disposed over the base plate and that are spaced apart from one another along a longitudinal axis. Depending on the implementation, the restraint system also include either a single double-sided wheel chock or two single-sided wheel chocks.
