ABSTRACT:
A protective appendage for the steering column of an automobile, made of a thin and semi-flexible material which is adapted to surround the area in the vicinity of the ignition key lock. The appendage is preferably thermo-formed from a clear plastic such as polyethylene or polyvinyl chloride. The base of the appendage is curved into an arc of a circle having a diameter of about four inches, so that it will snugly fit against a steering column having a diameter of about 31/2-4 inches. The appendage is installed by temporarily deforming a cylindrical shell of semi-flexible material and forcing it over the lock assembly; the shell is subsequently locked in position by the protruding arms of the lock assembly.
