ABSTRACT:
A vehicle mounted parking device for use on a front wheel drive vehicle of the type having motive means and at least two front and two rear wheels. An auxiliary wheel is mounted substantially between and equidistant from the rear wheels and is mounted so as to permit movement relative to the vehicle frame between an out-of-the-way position and a lower operative ground engaging and rear end of the vehicle lifting position such that the rear wheels are raised off the ground. Power means is provided so that the auxiliary wheel may be forced under the rear of the car to raise the rear wheels and to place the rear end weight of the vehicle on the auxiliary wheel. The auxiliary wheel, when in operative position, allows lateral movement of the rear end of the vehicle with a minimum of longitudinal vehicle movement. The auxiliary wheel may be mounted so that its axis of rotation forms an angle between approximately 20.degree. and 60.degree. with the longitudinal center line of the vehicle so that the axis of rotation passes between the front and rear wheel on one side of said vehicle. The rotation of both front wheels by the motive means will cause the lateral movement of the rear portion of the vehicle said auxiliary wheel when said auxiliary wheel is in the ground engaging and rear end of the vehicle lifting position.
