ABSTRACT:
A wheel restraint device incorporates a harness that receives first and second elongated straps used to secure a vehicle wheel to a support surface on which the wheel is supported. Each elongated strap is configured to extend over an upper outer surface of the wheel and be secured to the support surface proximate outer and inner sides of the wheel. The harness includes first and second sleeves that are respectively configured to slidably receive the first and second elongated straps. Moreover, the first and second sleeves extend at an angle relative to one another to orient the first and second elongated straps in a crossing relationship along one side of the wheel. With such an arrangement, it has been found that the tendency of the harness and/or the elongated straps to work themselves either over the upper outer surface of a wheel, or along the front or rear ends of the wheel, is significantly reduced. Furthermore, the arrangement oftentimes can be substantially faster and easier to install, thus reducing the time and effort expended by drivers or dock workers.
