Patent
CA 2245238
The invention relates to a safety device for truck wheels. An integral member is provided which is retained in an abutting relationship with the axle of the wheel assembly, but the integral member is free of any connection with the wheel studs of the wheel assembly. The abutting relationship may be provided by having a plurality of holes of the integral member which receive a plurality of the axle studs of the axle. Alternatively, the abutting relationship may be provided by providing a sleeve portion on the integral member and an interior threaded portion within that sleeve that is threaded to the axle of the wheel assembly. A lock screw may then be passed through the integral member to retain the member in the abutting relationship with the axle. An advantage of the present invention is that a strong connection is provided between the axle and the safety device, thus making it possible for the safety device to prevent wheels from flying away from a truck, tractor, or trailer when the wheel studs or rim suffer mechanical failure.
