ABSTRACT:
The vehicle detention device disclosed includes a pair of stopper blocks, a locking means, a pair of chains and a cover unit. One stopper block is fixed to a guide shaft and the other stopper block can be movably displaced to accommodate the size of the object tire. Locking means prevents movable stopper block from being displaced away from contact with object tire maintaining stopper block contact with object tire on either side of tire at ground contact point thus preventing rotation. A pair of chains is used to fasten object wheel to detention device when stopper blocks are placed in the engaged position. Key operated cover unit conceals access to mechanical components needed to release the detention device from the fastened condition thus preventing unauthorized removal of the device from the restrained vehicle.
