Vehicle steering lock arrangement

摘要

A steering lock arrangement for a vehicle with a tilt steering wheel includes a stationary instrument panel, a key-receiving member, and a shielding member. The instrument panel has an aperture. The key-receiving member is associated with the steering wheel and moves with tilt of the steering wheel. The key-receiving member has a slot for an operating key and is located at the back of the instrument panel in such a manner that the slot faces the aperture. The shielding member is connected to the key-receiving member and engages the instrument panel in such a manner to cover the gap between the key-receiving member and the instrument panel. The shielding member is movable to permit movement of the key-receiving member.
