ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is an auto anti-theft ignition switch lock for preventing unauthorized access to the ignition switch which is mounted on the steering column of most conventional automobiles. The ignition switch lock includes a housing, one end of which is shaped to conform to the contours of a steering column, having a latched enclosure member which is shaped to adapt to the column for securement of the device to the steering column. The device further includes a housing and a movable access door therein which is shaped to conform to the contours of a pair of long narrow uniform furrows which is manifested beneath the surface of a pair of interior walls within the housing, stops, guide surfaces and a key operated latch for selectively controlling the movement of the door, which moves along in constant frictional contact with the smooth surface of the pair of hollowed out furrows. Unlocked, the door drops in a downward motion and will thereafter be returned in an upward motion against gravity to be moved into engagement with and locked to a conventional key operated spring lock, mounted within the housing, and thus exibiting a locked position that closes the opening to which it is fitted. The unlocked door permits access through the installed housing to both the securement latch and the ignition lock.
