ABSTRACT:
A wheel restraining cleat and strap for use with a pair of wheel chocks to anchor a vehicle wheel to a supporting surface such as a floor of a railway car for transporting vehicles, which includes a strap of flexible material for overlying the tire of the vehicle wheel and carrying thereon a cleat formed of a material having both flexibility and resiliency so that it grabs the tire to retain the strap in overlying relation with the wheel. The cleat includes protuberances on the tire-engaging side to prevent slippage between the tire and the cleat, thereby maintaining the strap in overlying tie-down relation to the wheel. The cleat is sufficiently bendable to conform to surfaces of tires of different diameters.
