Abstract

This invention of a steering wheel locking device with a steel bolt aims to strengthen the steering wheel locking system installed in vehicles. It can be used with both automatic and manual transmission cars.

Claims (1)

1. The locking device for the steering wheel shaft of a car is made of steel and consists of a ring key system (1) with grooves in the middle of both sides, contained in a round steel head (3), divided into 3 layers. The first layer in the middle contains the key system (1). The second layer (4) guarantees the outer sleeve of the pipe (10) which is inserted through the steel head (9) which contains the second locking key system (6). The third layer (5) receives the slide-pull locking pipe (18). The steel head (9) has a hole (8) that receives the pipe (10) containing the second locking key (6) and the locking pin (7) to receive the slide-pull locking rod of the pipe (18). The upper part of the pipe (10) is inserted through the steel head (9) which contains the key system (6) and is connected to the round steel head which contains the key system (1). The side is connected to the steel rod (11). The end of the steel rod is connected to a round hinge (13) which can be opened to fit into the steering wheel shaft sleeve in a hinged manner. To attach to the steering column of the car, the steel rod (11) has a hole (12) for the steel rod of the padlock (37) to pass through for locking to prevent removal. The nut on the steering column mounting device with the padlock (38) on the opposite side has a groove on the long side (14) to control the center of the slide up and down of the slide rod to pull the lock (22) so that it does not rotate. When locking, it has a specific characteristic: opposite the groove (14), the bottom has a slot (15) to support and control the steel locking plate (24), which is welded to the slide tube (18) to pull the lock at the side of the groove (15). Steel (16-17) is welded to protect and help withstand the force from being acted upon on the steel locking plate (24). The slide tube (18) is fabricated from a round steel pipe, the bottom welded to steel (23) and welded to the steel locking plate (24). The top (25) is angled to bring the center into the control groove (36) of the steering wheel spindle holder (27). Inside the slide tube is a spring (26) to help in returning when unlocking. When the key is turned, the spring springs back to the empty position. The middle is welded to the base of the locking handle (22). The top has a slot (20-21) to engage with the locking pin of the The key system, where the groove (20) is shorter than the slot (21) because when the first key is turned to unlock, the lock tongue (7) retracts into the slide tube (18) which has a spring system (26) pushing it back, the slot (21) is longer to allow space for loosening after the first unlocking, then proceeds to the second unlocking with key (1), which contains the lock tongue (2) of the key system. The steering wheel pivot holder (27) is made of two halves of a round steel bar joined together between the steering wheel pivot shafts. The top of the round steel bar has a hole (28), the bottom has a thread for attaching a screw or nut (29). The top (28) has a cross hole for a pin (31) to pass through to cover the nut head to prevent removal. The center has a threaded hole to receive a nut (33) to help support the steel bar to make it tighter. The opposite side has a groove (36) to receive a steel plate (24) for sliding up to lock, supporting and preventing the steering wheel from rotating. It prevents it from rotating in either direction. The center hole (34) is grindable (35) to aid in the gripping between the device and the spindle, making the steering wheel tighter.
