ABSTRACT:
An antitheft device for the steering shaft of a motor vehicle is provided and has a resiliently urged locking or keying member (30) carried by an inner, non-rotatable tubular body (12). The locking or keying member (30) is deflected (32) in one direction to permit assembly of the inner tubular body (12) in an outer housing (10) of the device. The locking or keying member (30) is resiliently urged (32) into seating relationship in a radial opening (26) in the housing (10) when the inner tubular body (12) is in proper position in the housing (10). The locking or keying member (30) is deflected (32) in another direction to permit assembly of a cylinder lock (14) in said tubular body (12). The locking or keying member (30) is resiliently urged (32) into seating relationship in an aligned radial opening (28) in the cylinder lock (14) when the cylinder lock (14) is properly positioned in said inner tubular body (12). A peripheral groove (52) in the cylinder lock (14) is aligned with the locking or keying member (30) to permit deflection of the locking or keying member (30) so that the outer housing (10) can be removed from the inner tubular body (12).
