ABSTRACT:
An easy start adapter secured to the actuator of an automotive vehicle ignition switch and steering shaft lock. The adapter is in the form of a pair of clamp members adapted to be securely clamped to the diametrically opposed projecting wings or lugs utilized on existing steering column mounted ignition switches which operate the ignition circuit and also actuate the vehicle starter motor and lock and unlock the steering control shaft within the steering column. The clamp is provided with an elongated lever arm rigidly and adjustably secured thereto oriented generally in perpendicular relation to the rotational axis of the ignition key and lock cylinder which receives the ignition key in order to enable a vehicle operator to apply the necessary force to the ignition switch actuator to start the vehicle even though the vehicle operator has physical conditions that would not enable actuation of the ignition switch by conventionally engaging the usually provided ignition key diametrically opposed wings or lugs.
