  • Patent number: 5706682
    Abstract: A single locking point vehicle security device having U-shaped arms which are adjustable in width to accommodate the tire width of the vehicle. The arms are non-rotatably mountable in a central body over the tread of a tire thereby rendering the wheel inoperable. The central body renders the wheel mounting to the vehicle inaccessible. The point of adjustment of the width of the U-shaped end of the arms and the attachment point of the arms to the central body are also inaccessible when the device is mounted and locked onto the wheel thereby making removal difficult. A second set of arms may be installed in the central body in place of the security arms. This second set is fabricated to have a low profile and traction enhancing surface over the tread to improve maneuverability of the vehicle on a slippery surface.
