Abstract

A push-button steering wheel lock for attachment to an automobile steering wheel is provided having a housing and a push-button assembly disposed in the housing. The assembly is positioned in either a locked position for securing the steering wheel lock to the steering wheel or an unlocked position. In the locked position, the push-button lock assembly engages a rod slideably disposed in the housing to prevent movement of the rod with respect to the housing. The push-button assembly also includes two levers, one each on either side of the assembly to engage two surfaces within the housing to retain the push-button assembly in the locked position and also to retain the push-button assembly in the housing.

When the cover is pushed into the locked position and the tab is aligned with the locking slot, the tab snaps into the slot, thus establishing the locked position. The blade can then be withdrawn from the slot corresponding to an appropriate operation of the key. [0003] US Patent 1,369,308 relates to a locking device for automobiles...
