Abstract: A steering wheel lock for capturing a steering wheel and a foot control pedal of automobiles. The steering wheel lock provides for a sliding rod displaceable within an inner tubular member which is positioned within an outer tubular member. The sliding rod has a lock cylinder at one end with its pin extending out of an opening and a protuberance at the outer edge of the same end. The inner tubular member has a plurality of aligned openings or small holes which block the sliding rod from moving when the pin extends through one of the holes. A pair of longitudinally directed troughs allows the protuberance to move in the trough freely as the sliding rod is longitudinally displaced. A circular ring is fixedly secured to the outer tubular member and spaced from the end of the inner tubular member to define a circular recess, and an arcuate trough extends between the pair of longitudinal troughs at the opposing end of the inner tubular member to permit rotation of the sliding rod.

Abstract: A cylindrical lock core is provided having a first plug member with a cross-shaped keyway, four blind holes formed in a lower portion thereof, and a flange at top portion having a projection extending downwardly therefrom. A second plug member is located underneath the first plug member. The second plug member also has a cross-shaped keyway, includes four through holes and a projection extending from one side thereof. The second plug member also has a plurality of setting walls disposed between each aperture of the keyway and each through hole. Each of the through holes is terminated by a small aperture disposed at the bottom end thereof. A plurality of springs are positioned in the blind holes and on each rests a first tumbler pin, each of which has a portion disposed in the first plug member and a remaining portion disposed within the second plug member, which also contains a second tumbler pin in axial alignment. A barrel is provided for receipt of the plug members.
