ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a lock for use on a steering wheel having an air bag to particularly protect the air bag from being accessed and stolen. The lock includes a fixing seat having two forward extended and angularly spaced hooking bars and a downward extended rear hooking plate for the seat to fitly mount on a steering wheel. The fixing seat has a middle cover plate which just covers the air bag in the steering wheel. A receiving member is provided on a top of the cover plate to pivotally receive a front driving elbow of the movable rod therein. The locking device is adjustably connected to a rear locking bar of the movable rod and can be locked thereto so that the whole lock can be adapted to a steering wheel of any type and size. A rear end of the locking device is provided with many warning lights. In the event of a car failure on a road, simply turn the movable rod and the locking device locked thereto to an upright position relative to the fixing seat, and the whole lock can be positioned on the ground and used as a warning light. Engagement of a semicircular recess on the driving elbow with a steel ball supported on a spring disposed in a recess on the receiving member permits the movable rod to stably stand upright on the fixing seat.
