ABSTRACT:
A wheel-locking device has a nut shield (13) with a wheel-bolt orifice (17) on an attachment-plate (18) end of the nut shield. The nut shield is positioned on a wheel bolt (14) between a wheel (5) and a wheel nut (15) that is tightened onto the wheel bolt. Walls (37, 39) of the nut shield have lock-rod keyholes (12, 51) that are sized and shaped to receive a keyhole shaft (11) having lock extensions (19, 40, 49, 50) positioned in line with keyhole bays (20) in the lock-rod keyholes. Then a lock rod (6) can be rotated to a locking position in which the lock extensions are not in line with the lock bays of the lock-rod keyholes. In this locking position, the lock rod is then locked onto a wheel clamp (1) that hooks over a wheel. This prevents the wheel from being rotated and prevents unlocking rotation of the lock rod in the keyholes, and prevents removal of wheel nut which thus prevents removal of the wheel from the hub, thereby providing a form of locking mechanism for a vehicle on which the wheel is positioned.
