STOLDSKYDDSANORDNING FOR MOTORFORDON

摘要

A motor vehicle steering column lock including a sliding latch (2) mounted for movement between a position in which it locks the steering column and a withdrawn, non-locking, position and a secondary latch (16) comprising a slidable cam (9) having a camming surface which extends into the key slot (15) when the latter is rotationally aligned therewith and the sliding latch (2) is in the position in which it locks the steering column. A co-operating key (1) has a recess (18) in its rear side which receives said camming surface (38) when the key (1) is fully inserted in the key slot (15). The key (1) also has a camming surface (19) near its end which is operable when the key (1) is removed from the key slot (15) by co-operating with the camming surface of the slidable cam (9) to slide the latch (16) to a position in which it is not operable to lock the sliding latch (2).
