ABSTRACT:
A wheel immobilizing apparatus includes a pair of wheel-blocking bodies, and an adjustable spacing mechanism and a latching mechanism for accommodating different wheel sizes. The wheel-blocking bodies are wedge-shaped to fit against respective rear and front ends of a wheel. Each body has an inner flange fixedly attached to an inner portion of the body and projecting therefrom to assume an overlapped relation with a peripheral portion of an inner side of the wheel to prevent removal of the body in a direction toward an outer side of the wheel. Also, each body has an outer bracket fixedly attached to an outer portion of the body and projecting therefrom to assume an overlapped relation with a portion of an outer side of the wheel. The adjustable spacing mechanism is mounted to the outer brackets and extendible along the outer side of the wheel for adjustably setting the wheel-blocking bodies at a spacing from one another substantially corresponding to the diameter size of the wheel so that the bodies can be placed adjacent to the rear and front ends of the wheel. The latching mechanism is mounted to the outer brackets also and is extendible along the outer side of the wheel for releasably retaining the bodies at the spacing adjustably set by the spacing mechanism with the inner flanges and outer brackets thereon placed in the overlapped relations with the portions of the inner and outer sides of the wheel.
