ABSTRACT:
In a steering lock device, a lock bar is disposed so as to be offset parallel to a key cylinder along a longitudinal direction of a vehicle (i.e., a central axis of the lock bar and a central axis of the key cylinder are parallel), and is disposed so as to be adjacent to the key cylinder along the central axis of the key cylinder. Further, a proximal end of the lock bar and a rear end of the key cylinder are disposed so as to overlap one another. In accordance with the steering lock device, an amount of projection from a steering column (i.e., a rectilinear distance from an outer peripheral surface of the steering column to a center of a key insertion opening of a key rotor) can be kept small. Degrees of freedom in design of an outer shape of a column cover are thereby increased.
