Abstract: A steering lock device is for use with a steering shaft and includes a lock mechanism that includes a lock bar, a housing that includes an opening and accommodates the lock mechanism, a cover that closes the opening of the housing, and one or more protective walls arranged on the cover. The lock bar locks the steering shaft when the lock bar is moved to an engagement position where the lock bar is engaged with the steering shaft. The one or more protective walls are located in one or more imaginary unauthorized access routes to the lock mechanism extending from outside the steering lock device.

Abstract: A vehicle airbag device has: a pad cover provided at the center of a steering wheel constituted of a spoke, a rim, and a hub and secured to the hub or to the spoke; an airbag that is provided, in a folded state, at the pad cover and deploys upon collision of the vehicle by tearing the pad cover to restrain a vehicle occupant; and an inflator secured to the hub or to the spoke to supply inflation gas into the airbag upon collision of the vehicle. The pad cover has an extension portion extending from the center of the steering wheel to the rim such that the extension portion overlaps the spoke. The extension portion has a tear portion that tears upon collision of the vehicle. A portion of the airbag is disposed, in a folded state, at the extension portion.

Abstract: A vehicle airbag device provided in a steering apparatus, wherein the steering apparatus is configured with grips positioned on the right and left sides but are not positioned on an upper side. An airbag, installed at the center of the steering apparatus, is configured to deploy toward the driver when a vehicle collision occurs. An electronic control unit controls an inflation pressure of the airbag to be increased when the steering angle detected by a steering angle sensor is less than or equal to a predetermined reference angle, as compared to when the steering angle detected by the steering angle sensor exceeds the predetermined reference angle.

Abstract: A driver-side airbag device includes an airbag folded and housed within a boss portion of a non-circular steering wheel. The airbag is deployed in conformity with a shape of the steering wheel. Further, the airbag is formed of a top and a bottom portion, at least one of which has a non-circular inflated shape that conforms to the shape of the steering wheel.
