<p>A stationary axle / wheel lock anti-theft device for positioning and encumbering vehicle axle/wheel assembly movement in X - Y - Z -axis planes. The axle / wheel lock anti-theft device includes a base that localizes a vehicle axle / wheel assembly, positions a cylindrical blocking member occupying the wheel rims inner section wherein the axle hub and wheel nuts are located, then obstructing motion. This arrangement obstructs linear motion when an attempt is made to remove t he vehicle wheel assembly from the integral base wheel chocks. As the vehicle axle / wheel assembly travels upward on the ramp shaped wheel chock surface, the wheel rim will contact the cylindrical blocking member and caus e an interference, stopping linear movement. The cylindrical blocking member obstructs forward or rearward movement once the vehicle wheel assembly makes contact. Wheel chocks integral to the base localizes the vehicle wheel assembly, substantially aligning the vehicle axle with the cylindrical blocking member coaxially. The cylindrical blocking member is restrained in the extended position by mechanical means and serves to protect a security lock device from tampering. With vehicle axle / wheel assemblies having axle hubs that extend beyond the wheel rim frontal face, the extended cylindrical blocking member abutment substantiall y encircles said hub adding to movement restriction. The base provides a frontal wheel barrier that restricts access to the front face of the vehicle wheel rim, axle hub, wheel nuts and cylindrical blocking member. Sai d barrier provides a restraining bore for the cylindrical blocking member in the locke d position. With the vehicle axle /wheel assembly encumbered, the two assemblies become one large unsprung weight creating a non-rotating anchor at the storage site. To suit different wheel diameters, a height spacer is placed between the bas e and tire substantially aligning the vehicle axle with the blocking member coaxially. The axle wheel lock anti-theft device design provides vertical and horizonta l adjustment means for wheel height and wheel widths to accommodate a variety of vehicles to be stored and locked.</p> |
