Y i Ir 4 In another form of the invention the gear lever locking device may comprise a lug, fixed to a baseplate with holes and fixed to a floor in front of a gear lever, allowing for a padlock to be fitted through the lug and around a gear lever to maintain the gear lever in a fixed position.
The baseplate, rod and looped end portion may be made of a ferrous or non ferrous metal. The length is determined, then the device is ready for fitting to its application, to a floor in front of a gear lever.
To assist with understanding the invention, reference will now be made to the accompanying drawings which show one example of the invention.
In the drawings: FIG. 1 shows one example of a gear lever lock according to 15 this invention; FIG. 2 shows the application of such a gear lever lock fitted in front of a gear lever complete with padlock.
Referring to FIG. 1 it can be seen that a gear lever lock according to this invention comprises. A baseplate with holes 1 for fixing to a floor 4 from which projects a rod 2 with a looped end portion 3 for receiving a padlock. The length 7 is determined and by welding at 5 6 the locking device is one piece.

FIG. 2 shows a gear lever lock in operation. It can be seen that a gear lever 8 has a gear lever lock fixed to a floor 4 as close as possible in front of a gear lever 8. A padlock 9 is then placed around the gear lever 8 and through the looped end portion 3 of the rod 2 and locked in position the gear lever 8 is fixed in a locked position until unlocked, forming the locking device.
By the use of one gear lever locking device of this type, the gear lever can be held firmly in a locked position preventing movement whilst having a simple and quick locking system.
It will be realised that the gear lever locking device according to this invention is not restricted to'the form of finding somewhere to store the device as shown in the example, as the gear lever lock is a permanent fixture to the 15 floor and only a padlock is required for locking and unlocking.
