ABSTRACT:
A locking device for preventing rotation of a vehicle wheel and tire unit comprises a U-shaped clamp insertable through the openings between spoke-like portions of a conventional wheel so that the base of the clamp engages one side of the wheel and a pair of threaded clamp members project through the openings outwardly of the other wheel side. A wheel rotation blocking bar is mounted on the clamp members, is urged by fastening nuts into compressive contact with the tire at chordally spaced locations, and has ends projecting beyond the outer circumference of the tire. Tabs, threaded on the clamp members and interconnected by a padlock, prevent removal of the device from the wheel and tire unit.
