ABSTRACT:
A wheel lock device including a shoe. The shoe has sides, a top with a central aperture wherethrough a wheel strut may extend. The shoe has a generally planar bottom with an anti-slide portion that precludes the wheel lock device from sliding along the supporting surface. The shoe has dimensions such that a strut-mounted wheel assembly of a vehicle may be enclosed therein. The shoe is separated vertically into two equal hingedly connected parts which allow it to be opened for receiving the wheel assembly, or closed for encasing the wheel assembly, whereby precluding free rotation along the supporting surface. Included is a lock that allows the two parts of the shoe to be releasably secured in the closed position. Locking the two parts prevents removal of the shoe from the wheel assembly. Removably connected to the lock is a key. The key is rotated in the lock by a user for release of the lock to permit the shoe to be opened for removal from the wheel assembly.
