STEERING LOCK DEVICE

摘要

A steering lock apparatus comprises a metallic key lock collar 5a having resiliency, with at least one restraining hole 6 to receive a lock pin, mounted on a steering shaft 4. The inner peripheral surface of the key lock collar and the outer peripheral surface of a steering shaft are made to resiliently bear against each other at frictional engagement portions 9. The inner peripheral surface of the key lock collar or the outer peripheral surface of a steering shaft is made non-circular, so that the torque required for the relative rotation of the key lock collar and the steering shaft is great, if the steering wheel is forced when the locking pin is in place.
