US Patent 11541686 Wheel locking device

A device for locking the wheel of a vehicle. The device comprises a main module adapted to be attached to the wheel and configured to cover nuts or bolts for attaching the wheel to the vehicle. The device further comprises an insert structure comprising an upper part and a lower part wherein the upper part is rotatably joined to the lower part by an axial joint. The insert structure is further transferable from an open position to a closed position upon rotation of said upper part around said axial joint wherein the insert structure in said open position is adapted for insertion in the wheel concentrically to the axis of rotation of the wheel and wherein the insert structure in said closed position is adapted for fixating the insert structure in said wheel upon transfer to the closed position after insertion in the wheel. The device further comprises a center bolt adapted to be connected through the main module to the lower part of the insert structure by means of a threading as well as a locking mechanism adapted to be arranged in a locking state in which the locking mechanism prevents the center bolt from rotating relative the main module, and in an open state in which the locking mechanism allows the center bolt to rotate relative the main module.
