A steering column lock device 42 comprises a casing 22' fixedly attached to a steering column and mounting an engine-key (k) operated switch unit 26. A conventional key cylinder 24' is rotatably mounted, in a stationary holder 44, in unison with a member 46. Mounted parallel with the member 46 is a slide-like manually movable latch member 48, having a cam follower projection (52) movable in unlocking cam track 54 and locking cam track 56 of the member 46. In the locked condition of the device 42, the projection 52 is at one end of the locking cam track 56. Turning of the key (k) in cylinder 24' turns the member 46 so that the projection 52 moves along the track 56 and into the track 54 at the end of which the switch unit 26 is started.When the key (k) is turned back toward the lock position, the projection 52 runs up against stopper wall 54a. To position projection 52 once again in locking cam track 56, the latch member 48 must be pulled by the knob (50) towards the user of the device 42. <IMAGE> |
