ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for immobilizing at least one wheel of a wheeled vehicle resting upon a support surface of a transporting conveyance includes paired gripping members adapted to hingedly engage the support surface in a manner permitting rotative motion between a storage state which disposes the gripping members upon the support surface, and an active state disposing the gripping members in facing parallel spaced apart relationship upright from the support surface. Levered locking mechanisms associated with the extremities of the gripping members are adapted to draw the gripping members together, producing the active state which applies compressive force upon the sidewalls of the wheel.
