ABSTRACT:
An apparatus to restrict the movement or rotation of a steering wheel is disclosed. Such an apparatus has a gear disposed upon a portion of the steering wheel column that couples with a stopper that is disposed within a cavity defined by a sleeve. The sleeve has a plurality of sleeve walls that define the cavity, where the walls extend from a back side of the sleeve. The back side defines a hole with hole walls that extend from the back side of the sleeve toward the cavity. The stopper has grooves for coupling with the gear disposed upon an inner side of the stopper facing the gear. The grooves on the stopper interlock with grooves disposed upon the gear. The stopper further has a protrusion that extends through the hole, and a locking mechanism that extends inwardly from the protrusion to adjust the placement of the stopper within the cavity.
