Description
"Wheel Lock Apparatus"
Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a wheel lock apparatus. The wheel lock apparatus of the present invention is particularly suited for deterring and/or preventing theft of wheeled vehicles, including trailers, such as boat trailers, caravans and the like. However, the wheel lock apparatus of the present invention also has utility as a safety device.
Background Art
Trailers, including those for boats, caravans and the like are particularly susceptible to theft, and instances of theft of trailers and caravans are occurring with increasing frequency. The security provisions commonly applied to cars are typically not suitable for trailers. For example, immobiliser type systems rely on interfering with the supply of power from the engine of a vehicle and, accordingly, have no utility in the protection of unpowered trailers from theft. Unpowered anti- theft devices, such as devices that interfere with the steering wheel of a motor vehicle, obviously have no application to trailers and the like.
Further, it is anticipated that a considerable portion of the market for anti-theft systems for trailers will be owners of existing trailers. Accordingly, the ease of installation of such devices to an existing trailer is of great importance.
The background to the present invention is discussed in the context of preventing/deterring theft of trailers. However, it should be understood that the application of the present invention extends to preventing/deterring theft of other wheeled vehicles, such as cars and motorcycles, as an alternative or complement to existing anti-theft systems.
Further, the application of the present invention has utility as a safety device. In many applications, such as mining, wheeled vehicles are left unattended on sloping surfaces. Whilst the braking systems of the vehicle is employed to
immobilise the vehicle, failure of such braking system may have serious consequences. The wheel lock apparatus of the present invention may be used as a complement to the braking system of an immobile wheeled vehicle.
The preceding discussion of the background to the invention is intended to facilitate an understanding of the present invention. However, it should be appreciated that the discussion is not an acknowledgement or admission that any of the material referred to was part of the common general knowledge in Australia as at the priority date of the application.
Throughout the specification, unless the context requires otherwise, the word "comprise" or variations such as "comprises" or "comprising", will be understood to imply the inclusion of a stated integer or group of integers but not the exclusion of any other integer or group of integers.
Throughout this specification, unless the context requires otherwise, the word "trailer" will be understood to include all devices designed or arranged to be towed by a motor vehicle or truck, including but not limited to boat trailers, bike trailers, car trailers, caravans and horse floats.
A tyre may be rotated in two directions, one corresponding to the forward motion of the trailer and one to the rearward motion of the trailer. For the purposes of concise description, the former will be referred to as forward rotation, and the latter as rearward rotation.

Best Mode(s) for Carrying Out the Invention
In Figures 1 to 3 there is shown a wheel lock apparatus 10, for a trailer (not shown) having a tyre 12 with a tread portion 14. The wheel lock apparatus comprises a first tooth having a body 16 and an edge 17, a second tooth having a body 18 and an edge 19, and a plate 20, integrally provided in the form of a concave member 22.
The wheel lock assembly 10, further comprises an arm member 24, a mounting plate 26, an actuator assembly in the form of a plunger 28, and a locking assembly 30.
The mounting plate 26 is attached to a portion of a wheel arch 32, thereby reinforcing such, facing the tread portion 14 of the tyre 12. The mounting plate 26
includes an inner face 34, proximate the tyre 12, and an outer face 36, remote therefrom, thereby defining an interior 38, proximate the tyre, and an exterior 40, remote therefrom.
A first end 42 of the arm member 24 is pivotally attached to the inner face 34 of the mounting plate 26, whilst a second end 44 of the arm member being pivotably attached to the concave member 22.
An aperture 46 is provided through the mounting plate 26, with the plunger 28 being provided through the aperture 46, such that a first end 48 of the plunger 28 pivotally engages to the arm member 24 at a point intermediate the first and second ends 42 and 44 thereof, whilst a second, flared end 50 of the plunger 28 is located in the exterior 40.
As can best be seen in Figure 3, the first end 48 of the plunger 28 comprises a loop 52, through which the arm member 24 is slidably and pivotably received. A biasing assembly in the form of a coil spring 54 is provided about the plunger 28, between the flared second end 50 thereof and the outer face 36 of the mounting plate 26.
The locking assembly 30 comprises a series of indentations 56 along the length of the plunger 28, wherein each indentation is adapted to at least partially receive a pin member (not shown), the slidable movement of which is governed by a lock 58.
Accordingly, depression of the plunger 28, against the bias of the coil spring 54, causes the arm member 24, and accordingly the concave member 22, to move from a second position proximate the wheel arch 32, as can best be seen in Figure 1 , to a first position where the edges 17 and 19 of the first and second teeth of the concave member 22, are against the tread portion 14 of the tyre 12, as can best be seen in Figure 2.
When the arm member 24 is in the first position, and the edges 17 and 19 of the first and second teeth are against the tread portion 14 of the tyre 12, body 16 of
the first tooth is oriented such that minor forward rotation of the tyre 12 causes the edge 17 of the first tooth to engage the tread portion 14 thereof and thereby prevent further rotation, whilst the body 18 of the second tooth is oriented such that minor rearward rotation of the tyre 12 causes the edge 19 of the second tooth to engage the tread portion 14 of the tyre, thereby preventing rearward rotation thereof.
When a user (not shown) wishes to use the trailer, the user ensures the lock 58 is disengaged, such that the spring 54 causes the arm member 24 to assume the second position, wherein the edges 17 and 19 of the first and second teeth are remote from the tread portion 14 of the tyre 12. For safety, the arm member 24 may be locked in this position by way of the locking assembly 30. The trailer may then be used in the normal manner.
When the user wishes to secure the trailer, the user depresses the plunger 28, against the bias of the spring 54, such that the arm member 24 moves to the first position, wherein the edges 17 and 19 of the first and second teeth are against the tread portion 14 of the tyre. Application of pressure on the plunger 28 applies pressure to the arm member 24, at a point intermediate the first and second ends 42 and 44 thereof, causing such to deform slightly, the flexibly resilient material from which the arm member 24 is formed thereby maintaining contact between the edges 17 and 19 of the first and second teeth with the tread portion of the tyre. The plunger 28, and thus the arm member 24 and concave member 22 may be locked in this position by way of the lock 58 of the locking assembly 30, thereby preventing unauthorised rotation of the tyre 12 of the trailer, by way of the engagement of the edges 17 and 19 of the first and second teeth with the tread portion 14 of the tyre 12, and thereby unauthorised movement of the trailer.
In Figures 4 to 6 there is shown a wheel lock apparatus 60, for a trailer (not shown). The wheel lock apparatus 60 is substantially similar to the wheel lock apparatus 10, and like numerals will be used to denote like parts. However, unlike the wheel lock apparatus 10, the actuator assembly is not provided in the form of a plunger 28, and the locking assembly 30 takes a different form.
Rather, the actuator assembly is provided in the form of a cam and lever assembly 62. The cam and lever assembly 62 comprises a cam portion 64 integrally formed with a lever portion 66. The cam and lever assembly 62 is pivotally attached to the mounting plate 26, and is adapted to pivot between a first position, where the cam portion 64 extends through the aperture 46 of the mounting plate 26 to act on the arm member 24, and a second position, where the cam portion 64 is remote from the arm member 24. A biasing means (not shown), provided about the first end 42 of the arm member 24 biases the arm member 24 to the' second position.
The locking assembly 30 is provided in the form of first and second projections 68 and 70 provided from the mounting plate 26, each having an aperture 72 provided therethrough. The locking assembly 30 further comprises an aperture 74 provided through the cam and lever assembly 62. The projections 68 and 70 and apertures 72 and 74 are aligned such that, when the cam and lever assembly 62 is in the first position, the aperture 74 is substantially aligned with the aperture 72 through the first projection 68. When the cam and lever assembly 62 is in the second position, the aperture 74 of the cam and lever assembly 62 is aligned with the aperture 72 of the second projection 70.
In use, the wheel lock apparatus 60 is similar to the wheel lock apparatus 10. When a user (not shown) wishes to use the trailer, the user ensures the cam and lever assembly 62 is locked in the second position. This can be achieved by placing a padlock or similar (not shown) simultaneously through the aperture 72 in the second projection 70 and the aperture 74 provided through the cam and lever assembly 62.
When the user wishes to secure the trailer the user, by way of the lever portion 66, rotates the cam and lever assembly 62 such that the cam portion 64 acts on the arm member 24, moving such into the first position, wherein the edges 17 and 19 of the first and second teeth are against the tread portion 14 of the tyre. Application of pressure on the lever portion 66 applies pressure to the arm member 24, at a point intermediate the first and second ends 42 and 44 thereof, causing such to deform slightly, the flexibly resilient material from which the arm
member 24 is formed thereby maintaining contact between the edges 17 and 19 of the first and second teeth with the tread portion of the tyre. The cam and lever assembly 62, and thus the arm member 24 and concave member 22 may be locked in this position by placing a padlock or similar (not shown) simultaneously through the aperture 72 in the first projection 68 and the aperture 74 provided through the cam and lever assembly 62.
Modifications and variation such as would be apparent to the skilled addressee are considered to fall within the scope of the present invention
