ABSTRACT:
A coincidental lock for a motor vehicle comprises a key controlled lock cylinder mounted in the axial bore of a housing for axial displacement between an inward and an outward position, and for rotation in the inward position into selected operating positions. A lock bolt is mounted in a cross bore of the housing for displacement between a retracted position and a locking position, the bolt having a keeper engaging the steering column of the vehicle in the locking position. The lock bolt is displaced between these positions by a driving member operated by the rotation of the lock cylinder against the bias of an operating spring biassing the lock bolt into the locking position. A latch having a wedge face is mounted on the lock bolt for pivoting in the direction of the keeper against the bias of a soft spring. The lock cylinder has an end rim adjacent the bolt and the latch is arranged to wedge the wedge face thereof firmly against the lock cylinder rim when the bolt is in the retracted position and the lock cylinder is inwardly displaced.
