  • Patent number: 4949561
    Abstract: A device for securing the steering wheel of a vehicle has a lock housing with an axial bore for receiving a telescoping rod. A pair of legs extend from the housing at an acute angle relative to the axis and to one another. The rod extends from the bore in the opposite direction, and hook members are formed on each leg and the rod for engaging opposite sides of the steering wheel. The hook member on the rod, which is preferably an open, fan shaped jaw, is spaced a distance from the outer end of the rod, so that when the device is mounted on the steering wheel, the rod projects outwardly from the steering wheel and inhibits it from being turned.

  • Patent number: 4747279
    Abstract: An automobile security device includes a lock bar extending through a lock housing. A clamping device is fixed on one end of the lock bar, and a hook is supported by the lock housing. The lock housing and hook are axially displaceable along the lock bar, such that the clamp can be attached to a floor mounted gear select lever or gearshift lever, and the lock housing and hook thereafter moved axially along the lock bar, away from the clamp, until the hook engages the floor mounted brake handle. The lock housing is locked on the lock bar, after the unit is mounted, so as to prevent the movement of the gear select lever out of the park position, and prevent movement of the brake from the engaged to the release position. The unit may also be mounted on a steering wheel, and includes a projecting rod to interfere with the rotation of the steering wheel.
