ABSTRACT:
A combination vehicle steering wheel locking and article protection apparatus comprises an elongate, rigid locking bar having joined at one end region a first, longitudinally--opening fork configured for fitting over a conventional vehicle steering wheel rim. Included are a second, longitudinally-opening fork configured for fitting over the steering wheel rim and means for enabling the second fork to slide longitudinally along the locking bar with both the first and second forks directed longitudinally outwardly in opposite directions. Locking means are mounted for longitudinally sliding along the locking bar intermediate the first and second forks, the locking means being operative for being locked to the locking bar in any selected one of a multitude of longitudinal positions. The apparatus includes a lock box having a bottom portion and a top portion, one of which is attached to the second fork and the other of which is attached to the locking means so that when opposing regions of the steering wheel rim are received into the first and second forks and the locking means are slid along the locking bar so that the lock box top portion closes the lock box bottom portion and is locked to the locking bar in that position, the steering wheel is locked between the first and second forks and the lock box is locked in its closed condition.
