It is configured as shown in the figure. Reference numeral 4 denotes a cylinder formed in a hollow cylindrical shape, and a key insertion port 4a is formed in an upper part thereof. Numerals 5 are tumblers protruding from the inner peripheral surface of the cylinder 4 and engaging with a key groove C 'formed in the key C. The tumbler 5 includes a pin 5a that contacts the keyway C 'and a pin 5a.
And a spring 5b for biasing 5a in the radial direction. Reference numeral 6 denotes a cam rotatably provided on the top of the shaft 7, and reference numeral 8 denotes an engaging portion provided integrally on the upper portion of the cam 6. On the upper surface of the engaging portion 8, an engaging groove 8a for engaging with the tip of the key C is formed. Reference numeral 9 denotes a lock pin that locks the holding portion 2 to the cylinder 4 and is inserted into the insertion hole 4a of the cylinder 4. This lock pin 9 is in the sixth position when locked.
As shown in the figure, a concave portion 10 a which is notched in a wavy shape on the inner peripheral surface of the holding portion 2 is in contact with a side surface of the cam 6. Also,
At the time of unlocking, as shown in FIG. 7 (b), the rotation of the key C (half rotation) causes the cam 6 to rotate and the cam 6 and the lock pin 9 to be disengaged. It is in a free state (FIG. 7 (a)). 11 is the notch of the cam 6 when locking
A cam pin which comes into contact with 6a and is radially urged by a spring 11a provided on the inner peripheral surface of the cylinder 4.

Reference numeral 12 (FIGS. 3 and 4) denotes a coil spring provided between the main body 1 and one of the holding portions 2 to urge the holding portion 2 in the closing direction (the holding direction, the direction of the arrow in FIG. 3).

 The key C may be a handcuff key or the like.

Next, the operation of the wheel stop device A according to the present invention will be described.

First, when attaching the vehicle stopping device A to the wheel B, one of the holding portions 2 urged in the holding direction is slightly rotated in the opening direction, and then both the holding portions 2, 2 'are attached to the wheel B. It is sandwiched so as to sandwich both sides (FIG. 1). Then, the key C (FIG. 2) is inserted into the keyhole 4a of the cylinder lock 3 and locked (FIG. 4).

In addition, as shown by the imaginary line in FIG. 2, two wheel stoppers A may be used to hold the wheel B from both sides.

To remove the wheel stopper A from the wheel B, the key C is inserted into the keyhole 4a of the cylinder lock 3 and unlocked (FIGS. 7A and 7B).

According to this invention, one of the holding portions 2 is biased in the holding direction (the closing direction), so that the wheel can be completely held,
Wheel rotation can be prevented. Therefore, the vehicle can be reliably stopped on the inclined surface without being affected by the type and state of the wheels, the state of the ground contact surface, and the like.

Further, since the holding portion 2 can be locked to the cylinder lock portion 3, escape or theft of the vehicle can be prevented.

This invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various changes can be made within the scope of the technical matters described in the claims for utility model registration. For example, as shown in FIG. 8, both holding portions 2, 2 'may be rotatably mounted. Further, as shown in FIG. 9, a bar 13 for preventing escape is attached to the main body 1, and one end of the bar 13 is caught on the vehicle body to prevent the vehicle body from moving. Alternatively, the other end of the bar 13 may be embedded in the ground to fix the entire device to the ground. It is more desirable that the tip of the bar 13 is formed by sawing it in a saw-tooth shape because the frictional resistance increases. Further, by covering the distal end portion of the bar 13 with a cushion material, the vehicle body may not be damaged even if it is hooked on the vehicle body.

The internal structure of the cylinder lock 3 is not limited to that of the embodiment, and may be, for example, a disk tumbler lock.

In this embodiment, a coil spring is used as the urging member, but a plate spring or the like may be used.

 Further, the biasing member may be housed inside the cylinder lock.

Further, the locking mechanism may be such that when the key is rotated, the locking mechanism is actuated for the first time to lock the key.

[Effect of the invention]

According to this invention, since the holding portion can be locked to the cylinder lock portion, the escape or theft of the vehicle can be prevented.

Further, since the holding portion is urged in the holding direction (closing direction), the wheel can be completely held, and rotation of the wheel can be prevented. Therefore, the vehicle can be reliably stopped on the inclined surface without being affected by the type and state of the wheels, the state of the ground contact surface, and the like.

In addition, when the main body and the pair of holding portions are formed of a light material, the entire device can be extremely lightened, so that the handling becomes convenient.

If the body has a runaway bar,
One end of the bar is hooked on the vehicle body to prevent the vehicle body from moving. Further, since the other end of the bar is embedded in the ground to fix the entire device, escape and theft of the vehicle can be more completely prevented.
