ABSTRACT:
A telescopic lock device is used for locking a steering wheel in an automobile and includes an elongated tubular lock body, a central rod secured coaxially in the lock body, and a telescopic tube slidable axially between the lock body and the central rod. When a key is inserted into the key driven unit of the lock body, the rotation of the key can move a movable element into the central bore of the lock body to engage in a selected one of a row of axially aligned notches in the telescopic tube so as to lock the telescopic tube on the lock body. Each of the lock body and the telescopic tube has a forked paw portion which rides on the rim of the steering wheel so as to retain the telescopic lock device on the steering wheel.
