ABSTRACT:
This automotive steering wheel lock is made up of a rod and a cartridge connected with the rod. The cartridge consists of an upper half cartridge and a lower half cartridge that capture hold of the steering wheel between them and are locked with a lock cylinder and a lock base set separately in the two half cartridges when said half cartridges are closed together. To open the lock, a key is inserted and turned in the keyhole of the lock cylinder. The bottom of the rod can be blocked by the driver's seat or something inside the car or by a thief's body making it difficult to handle the steering wheel, even if the steering wheel should be turned around with the lock locked in an attempt to steal the car.
