ABSTRACT:
A steering lock for automobiles includes a check lever movable upon rotation of a key-actuated cylinder into locking engagement with a locking rod to lift the latter clear of engagement with a steering shaft. When the key-actuated cylinder is turned back and the key is pulled out, the check lever is pulled back out of locking engagement with the locking rod, which then locks the steering shaft. As the check lever is thus retracted, it depresses a spring-loaded control member into a key slot in the key-actuated cylinder. When the check lever is fully moved back, the spring-loaded control member is pulled out of the key slot. Thus, the key can be inserted smoothly into the key slot for releasing the steering lock.
