Abstract: Apparatus for releasably locking a tilt steering wheel assembly in adjusted position comprises a bracket having a pair of spaced-apart plates affixed to the jacket of the steering shaft, and a pawl between the plates pivoted to the steering wheel assembly. Each plate has a hole and the holes are aligned. The pawl has a series of spaced holes. The pawl has a cam track. A cam on the bracket is engageable with the cam track to cause the pawl holes to align successively with the bracket holes when the steering wheel assembly is pivoted to various different positions. A lock pin is engageable in the aligned bracket and pawl holes to lock the steering wheel assembly in a desired position of adjustment.
