STEERING-WHEEL LOCK FOR AU'roMoBI LEs Am) min LIKE..
Application filed December 4, 1918. S eria1"1 o. 265 215.
To all whom it may concern: Be it known that 1, JOHN BERLIEN, a citi= zen of the United States, and resident ofbeing reversible so as to retain the same in position'when the lock is not in. use and to reverse it with little difliculty for locking I the steering wheel whenever it becomes necessary to do so.
Figure l is a .viewof a steering wheel and a portion of the steering column showing my invention in position thereon. I
Fig. 2, is a front view of my improved lock. Fig. 3, is a side view of the same. Fig. his a vertical sectional View of the same. I
Fig. 5, is a horizontal sectional view taken on the line 55 of Fig. 2.
- Fig. 6, is a detail view of'a portion of the supporting frame showing the side which contactswith the steering column. v
Fig. 7, is a detail perspective view of the reversible locking member. I
Fig. 8, is a, perspective view of'the supporting frame in which the locking member is supported.
,In the general construction of my inven-. tion I provide a suitable frame 9 which is constructed preferably of a casting of durable and tough material, the same being so arranged asto fit against the steering colum 10 of an automobile, and the same is positioned on the column in close proximity to the steering wheel 11. This casting is firmly held on the column 10 by means of bands 12, which encircles the column. Its ends 13 are somewhat enlarged and are shaped to fit into the cavity ordepressionsor from access when the removable locking member 17 1s placed in position on the cast- Specification of Letters Patent I I v Grit-"14:, 19 19; i
i screws being concealed the depression and the same is entirely hidden from view ing 9. The casting is also provided on its outer surface with depressions 18.. These are so arranged as toaccommodate the insertion;
of the ears 19 formed on the locking member 17. The outer surface'bei'ng' arranged flush with the Toasting as {that shown -.in Flgs. 2- and 3, and the arrangement is such that thelocking member 1Z.may be placed in either position as that shown in Fig. 1, by
solid and dotted-lines- The reversible lockmg member is also constructed in the form of a tough casting and is-provided with an v ezgtension or arm 20 which terminates into a blfurcatlon 21, the arms of the bifurcation being arranged to snugly straddle the spokes 22 of the steering wheel, thus preventing the wheel from being turned and the body of themember 17 is provided with a lock casting 23 in which is placed .a suitable lock of the standard. type. This lock is generally of thepin or an'yother standard type and is' in the form of a cylinder 24 as that shown in Fig. '2. The lock bar 25 of ,the lock is so arranged as to-fit under ,the

The lock is then manipulated and the key removed, this retains the locking member at all times in position so that it cannot become disconnected or lost.
The device is simple in character yet firmly prevents the steering wheel from being turned thereby operating the steering mechanism of the automobile.
Having fully described my invention what I claim is:
1. A lock of the character described comprising a skeleton casting firmly attached to the steering column of an automobile and in close proximity with the steering wheel, a reversible member arr: nged to be inserted inthe supporting member, a lock for locking the same in position therein, and a bifurcated projection forming a part of the locking member which bifurcation straddles one of the spokes of the steering wheel, and cross bars formed in the casting with which the reversible member is locked substantially as specified.
:2. A device of the character described comprising a casting, the same provided with flange cross-bars and a plurality of depressions in its face, bands supporting the casting on the steering column of an automobile, a locking member provided with ears which are arranged to .be inserted in the depressions of the casting a lock tooth formed on one end of the locking member and designed to contact withthe inner edge of a portion orthe casting, a lock located in the casting to Contact with one of the cross-bars and a bifurcated extension form ing a part of the locking member and which is designed to straddle one of the spokes of the steering Wheel, substantially as specified.
3. A lock of the character described com prising a supporting casting which is rigidly supported to the steering column, cross bars formed in the casting against Which the locking member is locked, a removable and reversible bifurcated locking member sup-.
ported in the casting, a means formed on the locking member for engaging with the steering wheel and a lock for supporting the locking member in the casting either in locked or unlocked position, the arrangement of the members being such as to permit the locking member to be held and locked in a reverse position, substantially as specified.
In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification, in presence of two subscribing witnesses.
JOHN BERLIEN.
