  • Patent number: 5921355
    Abstract: The Frustrator--Model C is a small and simple electric powered assembly of common-use components hidden within the automobile steering column enclosure. It inhibits car thefts by anyone not having the ignition key because normal use of the ignition key controls the flow of electric power which either locks the steering rod through braking action, making the automobile impossible to steer when the ignition key is turned to the `off` position or releases the braking action for normal steering action when the ignition key is turned to the `on` position.
