2. Description of the Related Art Recently, an increase in illegal parking in urban areas has caused frequent traffic congestion and frequent traffic accidents due to illegal parking. For this reason, it has been demanded to strictly control illegally parked vehicles, and in order to respond to such a request, a wheel stopper device for fixing one wheel of the illegally parked vehicle so as not to move has been developed. Has been done. This wheel stop device
Since only one wheel is fixed so as not to rotate, it has a simple structure that is convenient to carry. Moreover, once the wheel is fixed, it is configured so that it can be removed only by a predetermined key or the like. I have no choice but to report to the police etc.

Such a wheel stopper device is disclosed, for example, in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 4-201652. The wheel stopper device disclosed in this publication includes a pair of wheel stoppers fixed on a base, and a pair of tire pressing members that are rotatably supported by the wheel stoppers and are pressed against the tire surface of the wheel. have.

Each wheel stop is fitted between the wheel and the ground in front of and behind one wheel to be fixed. The tire pressing tool attached to each wheel stopper is rotated upward in a state where each wheel stopper is arranged, and is pressed against the tire surface of the wheel. Thereafter, the tire pressing tools are tightened by the chains so as to approach each other, and are locked so that the chains cannot be removed. In addition, a shield plate is attached to the base to which the wheel stoppers are attached so as to be rotatable in the up-down direction, and the attachment provided in the center of the wheel for attaching the wheel to the axle by the upward rotation. Bolt for
And the air inlet for the wheel tire is covered. Then, when the shield plate is rotated upward, the shield plate is held by the chain that fastens the tire pressing tool.

[0005]

In the wheel stopper device having such a structure, since the pair of wheel stoppers are fixed on the base at regular intervals, when the outer diameters of the wheels are different, There is a possibility that the rotation of the wheel cannot be surely restricted. That is, rotation cannot be restricted for wheels of a large vehicle that do not fall within the distance between a pair of wheel stops, and wheels of a small vehicle that are fitted with a gap between the wheel stops. Then, the tire pressing tool is pressed against the tire surface by the chain, but since the wheel stopper is not pressed against the wheel, the wheel stopper device may be easily removed from the wheel.

Further, each of the tire pressing members pressed against the tire surface to prevent the tire from rotating is fixed to the pin shaft attached to the base so that it can be bent only in the direction of approaching the tire in the middle. It has become. Therefore, when the tip portion of the tire pressing tool is pressed against the tire surface, the tip portion of the tire pressing tool is rotated downward while the tip portion is bent, and the tip portion of the tire pressing tool is rotated upward. The pressing tool may come into contact with the vehicle fender. In such a state, the tire pressing tool cannot be pressed against the tire surface.

The present invention is intended to solve such a problem, and its object is to be mounted on wheels of not only ordinary vehicles but also small vehicles such as light vehicles and large vehicles to rotate the wheels. It is an object of the present invention to provide a wheel stop device that can be reliably stopped. Another object of the present invention is to provide a wheel stopper device that can be reliably and easily mounted on both wheels of a small vehicle and a large vehicle.

The tip rod 33 of each connecting rod 32
The respective end portions of the pair of fastening chains 41 are respectively locked inside the end portions close to. Locks 42 are hung on the respective fastening chains 41 so as not to come off from each other.

A shield plate 50 is attached to the central portion of a slide rail 20 through which the wheel stoppers 10 are slidably inserted. This shield plate 50, as shown in FIG.
The side portion on the side of the slide rail 20 is slightly smaller in width dimension, and one side portion of the hinge 51 is screwed to that portion. The other side of the hinge 51 is attached to the upper surface of the slide rail 20 by welding. When the shield plate 50 is vertically erected by the hinges 51, all of the plurality of mounting bolts 73 provided in the central portion of the wheel 70 for mounting the wheel 70 on the axle and the tire 71 are covered with air. It is configured to completely cover an air inlet provided in the center of the wheel 70 for injecting and discharging. Then, on the outer surface of the shield plate 50 on the side opposite to the surface facing the bolts 73, a warning sheet in which a warning statement that the illegally parked vehicle is restrained by the wheel stopper so as not to move is described. 5
4 is attached.

The wheel stopper device having such a structure is used as follows. A slide rail 20 is arranged along the front-rear direction on the outer side of one wheel 70 in an illegally parked vehicle. At this time, each wheel stopper 10 is slid to the most end of the slide rail 20, and the lock 42 that fastens the fastening chains 41 to each other is removed. Further, each tire pressing tool 30 is in a state of being tilted to the outside of each wheel stopper 10. In this state, the wheels 70
The wheel stoppers 10 are arranged in front of and behind the wheel stoppers 10, and the wheel stoppers 10 are brought close to each other along the slide rails 20 so that the slope 13 of each wheel stopper 10 is pressed against the tire 71 of the wheel 70. .

At this time, in each tire pressing tool 30, the tip rod 33 is bent with respect to the intermediate rod 32 so that it does not come into contact with the fender of the vehicle, and the intermediate rod 32 also becomes the base rod 31. It is in a folded state.

In this way, the slope 1 of each wheel stop 10
When the tire 3 is pressed against the tire 71, each tire pressing tool 30
However, the tip end rod 33 is pressed against the surface of the tire 71 while being made to stand up around the central portion of the base end rod 31 excluding the end portions. At this time, to prevent the tip portion of the tip rod 33 from contacting the lower surface of the vehicle fender,
First, the intermediate rod 32 is erected with respect to the base rod 31, the intermediate rod 32 is erected, and then the tip rod 33 is erected with respect to the intermediate rod 32.

When the tip portion of the tip rod 33 comes into contact with the surface of the tire 71, each connecting rod 32 becomes a base end rod 31.
Rotation in the direction away from the tire 71 is restricted by each stopper 35, and the tip rod 33
The rotation of each connecting rod 32 in the direction away from the tire 71 is restricted by each stopper 37. Therefore, each end of the proximal end rod 31, each connecting rod 32, and each end of the tip rod 33 are prevented. The portions are aligned, and the tip rod 33 is pressed against the surface of the tire 71 over substantially the entire widthwise direction thereof.

At the same time, the shield plate 50 attached to the slide rail 20 is erected and pressed against the outer surface of the wheel 70. As a result, the shielding plate 50 is in a state of covering all the mounting bolts 73 and the air inlet for the tire 71 in the central portion of the wheel 70.

In this state, the fastening chains 41 whose ends are locked to the respective tire pressing tools 30 are strongly tightened so that the tip rod 33 of the tire pressing tool 30 is strongly pressed against the surface of the tire 71. The lock 42 is hung so as to fasten the fastening chains 41 to each other in a state where the fastening chains 41 are not loosened. At this time, the shield plate 50 in the upright state is located between each fastening chain 41 and the wheel 70, and the shield plate 50 is not rotated in the direction away from the wheel 70.

In this way, the wheel stop device is operated by the wheel 70.
When the tire pressing tool 30 is attached to the tire pressing tool 30, the tire pressing tool 30 is pulled by the pair of fastening chains 41, and the rods 31 to 33 of the tire pressing tool 30 do not rotate in the direction away from the tire 71. Because
It is pressed against the surface of the tire 71 of the wheel 70. Further, the wheel stopper 10 pressed against the tire 71 is in a state in which the tire stoppers 30 pulled by the fastening chains 41 do not move in the directions away from each other, and the wheel stopper device is disengaged from the wheel 70. There is no fear.
When the wheel 70 is rotated with the wheel stopper device attached to the wheel 70 in this manner, the wheel stopper 70 collides with the vehicle body, so that the rotation of the wheel 70 is restricted.

Further, in order to remove the wheel stopper device from the wheel 70, even if the vehicle body is jacked up and the wheel 70 is to be removed, the mounting bolts 73 are removed by the shield plate 50.
Since the shield plate 50 is covered with the bolts 73 by the fastening chain 41, the wheel 70 cannot be removed. Since the air inlet for the tire 71 is also covered with the shielding plate 50, it is not possible to remove the air from the tire 71 and remove the wheel stopper device.

The wheel stopper device of the present invention can be attached to a wheel of a vehicle having a small diameter wheel such as a light vehicle. In this case, as shown by the chain double-dashed line in FIG. 2, the wheel stoppers 10 are slid along the slide rail 20 so as to approach each other, and are inserted between the small-diameter wheel and the ground. Then, the shielding plate 50 is erected to cover all the mounting bolts at the center of the wheel 70, and the tip rods 33 of the tire pressing tools 20 are pressed against the surface of the tire. And each fastening chain 41
The locks 42 fasten each other.

[0028]

As described above, the wheel stopper device of the present invention has the following features.
Since each wheel stopper is slidable on the slide rail, it can be securely attached to the wheel to regulate its rotation regardless of whether the outer diameter of the wheel to be fixed is large or small. it can. The base rod of the tire pressing tool attached to each wheel stopper is in a state in which each wheel stopper is axially inserted to bend each end portion in the same direction, and the connecting rod is attached to each end portion. Since it is rotatably connected, it has excellent rigidity, and even if the wheel is forcibly driven to rotate, there is no risk of damage.

The tire pressing device is rotatable with respect to the base rod so that the intermediate rod approaches the tire, and is rotatable with respect to the intermediate rod so that the tip rod approaches the tire. Therefore, when the tip rod is pressed against the tire surface, there is no risk of the tip rod coming into contact with the vehicle fender.
