  • Lockable vehicle steering-wheel tilting assembly
    Patent number: 7758073
    Abstract: A lockable vehicle steering-wheel tilting assembly (LVWTA) (10) that functions in combination with and improves an existing vehicle steering-wheel tilting assembly. The LVWTA (10) includes an inward structure (12) that attaches to a steering-wheel column (102) and an outward structure (32) that is pivotally attached to the inward structure (12) and that it is attached to a vehicle-steering wheel (100). The LVWTA (10) is designed to position the steering wheel (100) in either a safe steering configuration or in a driver-exit configuration in which position the vehicle cannot be safely steered. The LVWTA (10) improves an existing steering wheel tilting assembly by removably inserting and attaching a locking insert (70) to the inward structure (12). When the locking insert (70) is attached and locked by means of a cylindrical key lock (90), the LVWTA (10) cannot be placed into the safe steering configuration.
