ABSTRACT:
An anti-theft steering wheel lock comprises an elongated body member having a passage along an axis therethrough, an upper shield having an arcuate portion for covering the outer edge of a steering wheel and a flat board at one end, a lower shield also having an arcuate portion for covering the inner edge of the steering wheel and coacting with the upper shield. The elongate body also has a housing formed into a rectangular shape and having a long slot along one side for fixedly securing to the flat board, an a bore along the axis for securing a lock body, a square passage at one side of the housing diametrically opposed to the long slot for fixedly securing the elongated lock body and also for accepting a lock rod to control the movement of the housing, and two small square holes at its bottom for installing two latches. Each of the latches has a slidable detent that meshes with sprockets of the lock rod to control the movement of the housing relative to the lock rod. The device acts to lock the steering wheel by embracing its rim with the upper and the lower shields and extending an elongated body member from the opposed end of the housing so that it will limit the turning of the steering wheel.
