Abstract

A locking assembly is being used on a trailer and is installed on at least one wheel. The locking assembly consists of two locking bars that have U-shaped ends at an outer end and straight sections at an inner end. Each of the inner ends have a multiple of bores there through. When installed, the inner ends of the locking bars are received in a receiver box, which is attached to a cylindrical hub, in an overlapping relationship whereby any of the bores will align with each other. A locking pin is passed through the bores once the locking bars are in place and once the U-shaped ends are placed around a tire and properly matched with its size.

A trailer wheel locking assembly comprising two locking bars having U-shaped ends at outer ends thereof and are adapted to surround a tire on said wheel and straight sections at inner ends, each of said straight sections being aligned in a linear direction relative to each other, each of said straight sections having a multiple of bores there through, a cylindrical hub having a receiver box attached thereto, said inner ends of said locking bars are being received in said receiver box in an overlapping relationship, a bore in one of said locking bars will align with a bore in the other of the locking bars, a locking pin is passed through said bores and a locking cylinder is installed over an end of said locking pin.
