  • Patent number: 7299669
    Abstract: A steering column locking device has an electromagnetic key interlock function that operates a solenoid to prevents a key knob from being undesirably moved to a lock position, as well as a mechanical key interlock function to conduct the key interlock function even when the solenoid malfunctions. The device includes the key knob and a plunger coupled to the key knob, so that when a user manipulates the key knob to start the vehicle, the plunger both moves axially and rotates. A cam shaft is coupled to the plunger, and a return spring is provided between the plunger and the cam shaft to bias the plunger towards the key knob. A stroke restrictor restricts a stroke of the plunger in the axial direction, and a push release functioning mechanism mechanically prevents the plunger from rotating from an accessory position to a lock position when the key interlock function fails.
