Abstract: An arrangement for locking the steering shaft of a motor vehicle, includes a blocking device and a toothed ring which is arranged on the steering shaft and in which a blocking element, which is arranged so that it can be displaced from an unlocked position into a locked position, of the blocking device engages. To allow the blocking device to be attached to the steering device of the vehicle in question and exchanged in a simple manner and to ensure that the blocking device cannot be removed in the locked state of the blocking element, the blocking device, which is provided with a housing, is releasably connected to a flange, which is attached to the steering device, via an adapter part. The flange has a recess which is designed in such a manner that the adapter part, for fitting of the blocking device, can be inserted in a partial area of the recess and can then be displaced along a guide into its limit position.

Abstract: A device (1) for locking the steering spindle (2) of a steering gear of a vehicle, having a blocking pin (6) which is arranged in a housing (3) and can be displaced from a release position into a locking position and vice versa. In order to prevent manipulation of the device (1) by an unauthorized third party if the housing (3) of the device (1) has been forcibly opened and the blocking pin (6) is located in its locking position, a spring-actuated securing element (17; 17′) is arranged in a guide part (12; 12′) of the blocking pin (6), said securing element being fixed in its position by a closure element (20) which is fastened on the inside of the housing (3). If the housing (3) is opened by an unauthorized third party, then the closure element (20) is also removed together with the corresponding housing region and the securing element (17; 17′) is at least partially displaced into a recess (21) of the blocking pin (6) and secures the latter in its locking position.

Abstract: A device for electrically locking the steering shaft of a motor vehicle steering device, which comprises an electric motor with actuator connected downstream, for displacing a blocking element which is arranged so that it can be displaced from its unlocked position into its locked position, and a switching device fore activating the electric motor. To ensure that the arrangement can be of very compact design and can be fitted without major changes in vehicles produced by different manufacturers, the invention proposes that the arrangement be composed of two separate subassemblies: a locking device with a first housing, in which the electric motor with actuator connected downstream and the blocking element is arranged, and manufacturer-specific electronic switching device, which can be attached o the outside of the first housing.

Abstract: Device for locking the steering spindle of a vehicle The invention relates to a device (1) for locking the steering spindle (2) of a steering gear of a vehicle, having a blocking pin (6) which is arranged in a housing (3) and can be displaced from a release position into a locking position and vice versa.

Abstract: The invention concerns a lock cylinder with a cylinder core arranged rotatable in a housing and an overload coupling device, which consists of at least one radially slidable tang which is connected non-rotatable to the cylinder core, as well as of a control element cooperating with the tang in case of overload.

Abstract: A steering and ignition lock has a locking cylinder which is provided on its circumference with a control cam for cooperation with a control pin (16). A slide member is linearly displaceable if released by the control pin which may be moved into and out of the path of the slide member to lock the slide member or to release the slide member. The slide member is either connected, for example through a Bowden cable, to the transmission selector lever, or to a safety lever so that the operability of the steering and ignition depends on the prior operation of the gear shift lever or of the safety lever.
