<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To lock rotation of a steering wheel by efficiently utilizing a space around a steering device having a transmission ratio variable means. <P>SOLUTION: In this steering wheel lock device, a transmission ratio variable device 40 has an input shaft 42 rotating together with a steering wheel, an output shaft 20 steering the wheels by driving a steering unit by rotation, a wave generator 60 generating a differential in a rotary direction between the input shaft 42 and the output shaft 20, and a flexible spline 65. A locking mechanism 30 locks the rotation of the input shaft 42. The locking mechanism 30 has a lock holder 70 having a plurality of teeth projecting outwardly in a radial direction from an approximate same periphery, and a lock bar 32 locking and unlocking the rotation of the lock holder 70 by moving forward and backward between the teeth. The lock holder 70 is integrally molded with the input shaft 42. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT</p> |
