Abstract:
The present application is directed to an anti-theft lug nut assembly and/or system for vehicular wheel use. A lug nut assembly of this application may be used in connection with each wheel of a particular vehicle. In another instance, multiple lug nut assemblies may be used in connection with a single wheel of a vehicle. In such instances, the lug nut assemblies may incorporate a common key member or distinct key members for use with each distinct lug members. Common wrenches and sockets are unable to engage and turn the lug member of this application as a result of the outer surface configuration of the lug member.

Claim (Index 9):
A lug nut system for vehicular wheels, including:\n a first lug nut assembly having\u2014\n a first lug member with a cylindrical outer surface and one or more cavities disposed about the outer surface in a first layout, the lug member having an open first end for releasable attachment to a threaded wheel lug stud of a vehicle; \n a first key assembly including (1) a key member having an open first end defining a hollow body for mating with a second end of the lug member, one or more apertures through the body and a second end defined by a torquing surface and (2) one or more fastener members; wherein the one or more cavities and one or more apertures form one or more first fastener joints according to said first layout and wherein the one or more fastener members are operationally configured to mate with the one or more first fastener joints; \n a first hollow housing member including a first end for receiving the lug member and key assembly therein, the housing member including a length effective for the torquing surface of the key member to extend out beyond a second open end of the housing member; \n and \n at least a second lug nut assembly wherein one or more cavities of a second lug member and one or more apertures of a second key member are operationally configured to form one or more fastener joints having a layout different from said first layout.
