Vehicle locking apparatus

摘要

The keyless engine starting system includes a turning shaft (93) connected to a handle lock (32) for locking and unlocking. The keyless engine starting system also includes a knob (92) having a cylindrical support portion which is turnably fitted along an outer periphery of the shaft (93). The shaft (93) is in engagement with a pawl (33) when the knob (92) is in a predetermined lock position to limit the turning motion of the shaft (93). The engagement of pawl (33) with respect to the shaft (93) is released in response to a releasing signal from outside. The keyless engine starting system also includes a click ball (95), a spring (94) and a recess (922) which form a torque limiter mechanism for connecting the knob (92) with the shaft (93). If the shaft (93) is forcibly turned, the knob (92) turns free without engaging the shaft (93).
