ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to an antitheft device for locking the steering wheel of any kind of vehicle, comprising a first outer locking element (1; 21), provided with a mechanism (2; 23, 25) for the coupling with a section (3, 3'; 24) of the steering wheel. A second inner locking element (5; 22) is movable with respect to said first locking element (1; 21) and provided with at least a projecting tongue (6; 27) coupling with the steering wheel (3, 3'; 24) and interacting with the coupling mechanism (2; 23, 24). A section of the steering wheel is provided on said first element (1; 21) so as to lock the outer ring of the steering wheel and at least one spoke (4; 29) of the steering wheel. There is an opening and closure mechanism (7, 8, 9, 10, 11; 28) for the antitheft device. A first outer element (1; 21) is provided with a projection interfering with other parts of the vehicle so as to prevent the free rotation of the steering wheel when the antitheft device is on.
