Abstract:
A device for locking a wheel of a vehicle is disclosed, comprising a main module, a center bolt, an expander and a locking mechanism. The main module comprises a plurality of elements configured to cover nuts or bolts of the wheel. The center bolt is adapted to be connected to the main module by means of a threading such that the axial position of the center bolt, as seen along the axis of rotation of the wheel, can be adjusted by rotating the center bolt relative the main module, and such that the expander expands in a radial direction of the wheel as the axial position of the center bolt is adjusted. The expander is thereby allowed to engage with the wheel to secure the device to said wheel.

Claim (Index 1):
A device for locking a wheel of a vehicle, comprising:\n a main module adapted to be attached to the wheel, the main module comprising a plurality of elements configured to cover nuts or bolts for attaching the wheel to the vehicle; a center bolt comprising a lateral circular extension and the center bolt being adapted to be connected to the main module by means of a threading such that the axial position of the center bolt, as seen along the axis of rotation of the wheel, can be adjusted by rotating the center bolt relative the main module; an annular expander formed of one or more segments, wherein each of the one or more segments has an inner surface and an outer surface, and the one or more segments are adapted to be arranged such that the inner and outer surfaces of the one or more segments form essentially continuous inner and outer circumferences of the annular expander, the annular expander being adapted to be operably connected to the lateral extension of the center bolt via the inner circumference of the annular expander such that the annular expander expands in a radial direction of the wheel as the axial position of the center bolt is adjusted, such that the outer circumference of the annular expander engages with the wheel and thereby secures the device to said wheel; and a locking mechanism adapted to be arranged in a locking state in which the locking mechanism prevents the center bolt from rotating relative the main module, and in an open state in which the locking mechanism allows the center bolt to rotate relative the main module.
