Vehicle steering locking mechanism

摘要

The mechanism has a locking element (8) which connects to the first end of a mechanical linkage (4) via a lever (14). The lever is located on the locking element and pivots about a particular axis of rotation (13). The lever and linkage are connected via form- or force-locks (15,16) at their mating faces, which interlock in order to slide the locking element from the locked position into the drive position. The lever pivots via drive elements (18,20) from its first end position into a second end position, such that in the locked position of the locking elements the connection of the lever and linkage can be broken.
