A disabling device for an operating shaft and to a fitted machine, in particular, an anti-theft disabling device for the steering shaft of a motor vehicle, comprises a shaft having a rotatable part 10 connected to a steering wheel and a rotated part 11 connected to the road wheels, the device having an enabled condition in which rotation of the rotatable part causes rotation of the rotated part and a disabled condition in which a sliding coupler 40 disconnects the parts so that rotation of the rotatable part does not cause rotation of the rotated part, characterised in that a key-controlled operating cam 30 transfers the said parts from the disabled to the enabled conditions. A security housing for the device is also provided, and means to limit the rotation of the disabled shaft. <IMAGE> |
