ABSTRACT:
A security device for a steering wheel is disclosed. Such device comprises at least one elongated primary rod positioned in contact with the upper surface of a steering wheel adjacent to one side thereof at a first location. The device includes an L-shaped member extending radially inward with respect to the position of contact with respect to the steering wheel. The L-shaped member includes a downwardly extending portion and a radially outboardly extending portion, the rod having an enlarged handle at its radially outboard end. An intermediate support has a pair of support barrels with a first end attached to the inboard end of the primary rod and a cross piece coupling the support barrels. Each support barrel has a second end with a cylindrical bore. A pair of similarly shaped independent secondary rods is provided, each formed with a plurality of concentric circumferential recesses. Each secondary rod is positionable within an associated bore of the barrels, each rod having at its outboard end a fork-shaped member with upper and lower parallel fingers for spanning the upper and lower surfaces of the steering wheel at a second location diametrically opposed from the first location. A lock with an associated interference member to contact and secure an associated second rod in a locking orientation is also provided.
