Description

Technology Field

[0001] The present invention relates to an omnidirectional fixed wheel chock device for a vehicle wheel and a method of use, and more specifically, to an omnidirectional fixed wheel chock device for a vehicle wheel and a method of use that can be fixed in all directions (three directions) of the vehicle wheel in preparation for upward movement and left-right movement of the vehicle wheel. Background Technology

[0002] Referring to Fig. 1, the conventional wheel chock is installed close to the tire under the vehicle wheel before the outrigger is installed, thereby supporting the wheel chock on the vehicle wheel without it sliding on the sloped ground.

[0003] Referring to Fig. 2, in conventional wheel chocks, when the outrigger is installed, the vehicle wheels rise above the ground, creating a gap between the tire and the wheel chock. When the outrigger is removed, safety accidents occur due to vehicle rolling if the vehicle wheels come down and the position of the wheel chock is improper. Furthermore, although the installation direction of the wheel chock must be different depending on the direction of the slope, there was a risk of safety accidents due to installation errors by the worker.
