20080236216 | Steering means locking apparatus - A handlebars locking apparatus for locking and unlocking of the handlebars on the basis of a code collation is provided. A collation ECU releases a restriction of a rotor latched by a latch by driving a solenoid if an ignition switch is turned OFF while a lock pin is retracted. After releasing the restriction, rotation of the rotor is restricted by the latch and a code collation with a code stored in a portable key is carried out if a lock pin is in a protrusion state after the release of the restriction and the protrusion state is detected by a lock side switch. If the code collation is correctly carried out, the protrusion of the lock pin is maintained to lock the handlebars. If the code collation is not correctly completed, the restriction of the rotor is released so as to be returned into an unlocked state. | 10-02-2008 |

20100236304 | VEHICLE HANDLE LOCKING APPARATUS - In a vehicle handle locking apparatus, a locking member that can operate between a locked position and an unlocked position and a holding member that operates together with the locking member are resiliently urged toward the unlocked position side; and an engaging member that engages with a holding member in the locked position and holds the locking member in the locked position is operated by operation of an electric actuator toward the side to release the engagement with the holding member. Forced unlocking drive device forcibly drives the holding member toward the unlocked position side in response to the operation of the electric actuator in a state in which the locking member is in the locked position. Accordingly, it is possible to provide a vehicle handle locking apparatus that releases, even when a force in a rotating direction is applied to a steering handle, engagement of a locking member with the steering handle or a linkage member so that an unlocked state is reliably achieved. | 09-23-2010 |
20100313613 | Anti-theft locking device for a vehicle steering wheel - An anti-theft locking device for a vehicle steering wheel includes, specially an anti-theft locking device locking the steering column ( | 12-16-2010 |
20120227449 | STEERING WHEEL LOCK - The steering wheel lock contains a main member having a clamp piece for fixedly locking the rim of a steering wheel, an alarm module housed in the main member and triggered if an abnormal situation is detected, a surveillance module that, when the alarm module is triggered, conducts video recording through a built-in digital camera, and a radio communication module housed in the main member which receives video signal from the surveillance module and transmits the video signal through a mobile communication network. When the alarm module is triggered, the surveillance module is then activated to start recording the interior of the motor vehicle. The car owner then could monitor what happens inside the motor vehicle and decide whether to take further action using a mobile communication device. | 09-13-2012 |
