Patent ID: 7040461

Claim:
A pair of nestable wheel chocks for preventing rotation of a wheel, each of said chocks comprising: a body adapted to be placed under the wheel to generally prevent the wheel from rotating in the direction of the body, said body including a pair of spaced sidewalls, a back wall extending between the sidewalls, and a wheel-supporting surface extending between the side and back walls, said wheel-supporting surface defining a surface area, said body defining an interior chamber between said walls and surface and an open face communicating with said chamber, said open face defining a face area, said face area being greater than said surface area so that the wheel-supporting surface of one of the chocks can be received through the open face and at least partially within the interior chamber of the other chock, said open face having a perimeter, said body further including at least one supporting leg extending through the internal chamber between said wheel-supporting surface and said open face to present a ground-engaging section spaced within the perimeters, said supporting leg presenting a hollow center projecting from the wheel-supporting surface such that, when one of the chocks is received through the open face of the other chock, the ground-engaging section of the other chock is received in the hollow center of the one of the chocks.
