A device for immobilizing vehicles is secured to a vehicle wheel to prevent the wheel rotating. A central carrier plate carries three arms which extend outwards and have portions which embrace the outer edge of the wheel when operative. Two of the arms are pivotally attached to the plate to each move between an operative position and inoperative stowed and fitting positions. The other arm can be adjusted in its lengthwise direction and is secured to the plate by a lock.

A vehicle immobilising device comprising a frame for locking onto a ground engaging wheel, the frame including: first, second and third arms each movable between an operative position and inoperative positions and each having a wheel-embracing outer end, said inoperative positions including an inoperative stowed position and an inoperative fitting position, a carrier for the arms, and locking means for locking the arms in an operative position, the first arm being movable longitudinally of its length inwardly and outwardly of the carrier between said operative and inoperative positions, and the first arm being lockable by said locking means in the operative position relative to the carrier, the second and third arms each being pivotally mounted on the carrier to move between their operative position and their inoperative positions; in the operative position the second and third arms subtending an acute angle to one another from their inner ends adjacent the carrier whereby their outer ends are spaced apart and can embrace the outer part of an associated wheel to each side of a ground-engaging part of the wheel and the inner ends of the second and third arms abutting said first arm; in said inoperative fitting position the second and third arms being movable such that the outer ends can be located over the wheel to each side of the wheel, the outer ends being further spaced apart from one another in said inoperative fitting position than in said operative position and when located over the wheel the second and third arms being movable from said inoperative stowed position through said inoperative fitting position for placement over said wheel to said operative position.
