 The present invention relates to a vehicle handle lock, and more particularly to a vehicle handle lock that can prevent the vehicle from being stolen due to saw cutting of the handle.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Electronic locks, gear locks, and cane-type locks are commonly used to prevent theft of automobiles, but among them, electronic locks and gear locks are built-in methods that are combined with the internal structure of the vehicle, and are therefore not suitable for installation. It is relatively time consuming and not economical. The cane-type lock is connected to the hub 16 at the center through two or more spokes 15 that shift the conventional circular vehicle handle 14 toward the driver side, and does not appear in the figure. Locked state used for a vehicle handle which is connected to a steering rod by a mounting screw and a horn is attached to the upper side. As shown in FIG. 6 which is an illustrated example, the lock main body 11, the hollow rod 12, and the inside of the hollow rod 12 are arranged. The cane-shaped lock 1 is prevented from pivoting in the cockpit by the detachable hook rod 13, the engagement of the hook rod 13 with the vehicle handlebar 14 and the hollow rod 12 having an appropriate length. The lock of the steering wheel 14 is prevented to prevent the vehicle from being stolen, and this kind of lock certainly has the effect of preventing the vehicle from being stolen to some extent. When viewed from the thief's tricks, a portion of the handle 14 near the lock body 11 is often cut with a saw or the like (if the handle 14 is cut along the saw cutting line A in the figure, the cane lock can be easily removed. (Or can be removed), or because the hook rod 13 is an elongated round bar, there is still a sufficient gap so that the mounting screw at the center of the handle 14 can be removed using a tool, and the handle 14 provided can be replaced to achieve the purpose. This is often the case, that is, even if such a lock is used to prevent the steering wheel from rotating, the vehicle theft cannot be completely prevented.

[0008]

【Example】

 1 and 2 are a stereoscopic exploded view and a side view of an embodiment of the present invention. As shown, the present invention is directed to an exterior device 2, an abutment plate 3 pivotally attached to a side edge of the exterior device 2, It is formed by a working rod 4 that slides on the exterior device 2 and a lock core portion 5 that can lock the exterior device 2, of which the exterior device 2 covers the upper surface of the handle 6 and is attached to a rim or the like. The plate body 21 is the main body, and the hooks 22 and the hook stopping means 23 are provided on both ends of the same side surface, respectively, and the hook stopping means 23 pivotally contacts the plate body 21. The hooking means 23 is formed by a U-shaped shackle 232 inserted into the rocking plate 231 and the rocking plate 231 can be rocked about its pivot (see FIG. 1). Is in a state where the shackle 232 is not yet attached to the shackle 232. A hollow guide portion 24 is attached to the other side surface of the plate body 21 on which the claw hook 22 and the hook stopping means 23 are not provided, and the plate body 21 and the guide portion 24 are attached to the plate body 21. An insertion hole 211 corresponding to the through hole 2311 is provided so as to communicate with the through hole 2311 so that the shackle 232 can be inserted into the insertion hole 211 through the through hole 2311.

The corresponding contact plate 3 is pivotally connected to one of the side edges of the plate body 21 in the longitudinal direction (FIG. 1 is pivotally connected to the front side edge), and the side edge of the plate body 21 is connected. When the device is locked onto the handle 6, the device is positioned so as to hang down on the inner periphery of the handle 6, and once swinging, both edges of the device will become the inner edges of the rim of the handle 6. It is formed so as to come into contact with each other and prevent rotation. Further, the action rod 4 is also made movable (extended or contracted) within the guide portion 24, and its diameter is made substantially equal to the central hole diameter of the guide portion 24. At the same time, in this embodiment, A plurality of cutouts 41 are provided on the periphery of the working rod 4 at appropriate intervals in the axial direction so as to engage with the periphery of the shackle 232. The lock core portion 5 is configured such that, after the hooks 22 and the hook stoppers 23 of the exterior device 2 are linked to the rim of the vehicle handlebar 6, the shackle 232 has its end extending from the insertion hole 211. It can be locked by inserting it in, and the lock core portion 5 only needs to have a locking function and does not belong to the feature of the present invention. Therefore, it is simply shown in the drawing and unnecessary extra words are omitted.

Referring again to FIG. 2 and also to FIG. 3, which is a sectional view taken along line VI-VI of FIG. 2, when the embodiment is mounted, as shown in the drawing, first, the contact plate is firstly attached. 3 is rotated so as to form a substantially right angle with the bottom surface of the plate body 21 of the exterior device 2, and then the plate body 21 is covered on the upper surface of the handle 4 so that the contact plate 3 is in a hanging state. Then, the claw hooks 22 of the exterior device 2 are locked outwardly from the inside of the rim of the handle 6 to the rim, and a swing plate formed at the other end of the exterior device 2 is arranged. 231 is engaged with the rim from the outside of the rim facing the handle 6 (at this time, both side edges of the contact plate 6 are brought into contact with the inner edge of the rim), and then the U-shaped shackle 232 is attached to the swing plate 231. Through the through hole 2311 and the insertion hole 211 (at this time, adjust the extension length of the working rod 4). Of the working rod 4, any suitable notch 41 is engaged with the shackle 232 to lock and fix the working rod 4, and the lock core 5 is locked to lock the shackle 232. By fixing, the exterior device 2 can be attached to the upper surface of the handle 6.

FIG. 4 is a view showing the completion of mounting in the embodiment of the present invention. As shown in the figure, the working rod 4 extended to an appropriate length has its end portion drooping due to induction of the center of gravity position of itself. Therefore, for example, it cannot be rotated by being blocked by a handbrake, etc., so that it cannot be arbitrarily rotated by an external force. Therefore, the rotation range is restricted, and other people try to steal the vehicle. Then, the working rod 4 cannot rotate because it is limited to the space near the cockpit 8, that is, as shown by the dashed line in the figure, the vehicle ceiling, the windshield, or the hand brake as described above. For example, the steering wheel 6 cannot be turned effectively and the steering wheel 6 cannot be effectively turned off even when the vehicle is started. Therefore, the thief must give up and abandon it for the purpose of crime prevention. Achievement To do.

Before the driver stops and chains the lock, the handle 6 is moved to the right (when the steering seat is on the left side) or to the left (when the steering seat is on the right side) to the dead point. If the vehicle is turned (or one turn or a half turn) and then the present invention is attached to the upper surface of the steering wheel 6, the vehicle cannot start forward even when the vehicle is started (the steering wheel 6 can rotate up to 90 degrees left and right). When moved, the action rod 4 is restricted from being in the space of the cockpit, and the action rod 4 cannot rotate further. Therefore, the effect of preventing the vehicle theft by the handle lock can be further improved.

FIG. 5 is a bottom elevation view of an embodiment of the present invention. As shown, the exterior device 2 covers most of the surface of the handle 6 to prevent the vehicle thief from removing the handle 6. Even if the thief cuts the exposed portion of the handle 6 not covered by the exterior device 2 with a saw, the length B of the covered handle 6 in the longitudinal direction is the longitudinal direction of the cut portion. Since it is longer than the length C, the exterior device 2 cannot be detached from the handle 6, and it is possible to prevent the lock chain from being invalidated due to the cutting of the handle 6. In addition, the contact plate 3 positioned inside the rim of the handle 6 cannot lock the hanging portion 5 to the outside from the inside of the rim, and the handle 6 is cut as shown in the figure. However, since the plate body 21 is attached to the handle 6 board together with the action of the exterior device 2 and the contact plate 3 that are chain-attached to the upper surface of the handle 6, the screw of the handle 6 is screwed. Therefore, even if the handlebar 6 is cut to the state shown in the figure, the chaining effect is not lost and the vehicle is prevented from being stolen.

In the above embodiment, the contact plate 3 may or may not be installed. Even if the contact plate 3 is not provided, the present invention firmly locks the upper surface of the handle 6, so that the handle is cut. Alternatively, the locking effect is not lost after removal.

As can be seen from the above, the present invention has the following advantages and effects: 1. It can surely prevent the vehicle theft; Due to the extension of the appropriate length of the vehicle, the vehicle thief can control the vehicle by restricting the rotation in the inner space near the cockpit (the radius of rotation of the working rod is larger than the space near the cockpit). You cannot prevent the vehicle from being stolen because you cannot operate it by operating the steering wheel as you want even after starting. 2. Even if the steering wheel is cut, it locks firmly on the upper surface of the steering wheel; the method of locking the vehicle steering wheel according to the present invention is to cover the steering wheel to protect the board surface so that the steering wheel can be removed. In order to prevent this and cut the handle of passenger car theft that is often seen today, to achieve the purpose (for example, cut the exposed handle part from the plate as shown in Fig. 4), Since the longitudinal length of the engagement-coated portion of the present invention is longer than the length of the cut portion and the handle surface is sufficiently covered, the present invention cannot be detached from the handle. Moreover, since the contact plate is hung inside the handle and its upward rotation is stopped by the handle rim, it is not possible to remove the mounting screw at the center of the handle, and therefore the conventional cane type More reliable than The vehicle theft can be prevented. 3. Convenient to install; simply extend the working rod by an appropriate length, and lock the hooks and hooks respectively on the diametrically opposite rims of the handle, and lock the hooks with the hooks. Installation can be completed by fixing the locking means with a lock, and the above steps can be performed in reverse to release the locked state, so a relatively complicated assembly technique is not required for installation or removal, and therefore the installation is convenient. Is. 4. Does not affect the internal structure of the vehicle; the present invention can be installed without affecting the internal structure of the vehicle, and therefore does not need to be connected to the vehicle structure like electronic locks and gear locks, and cane type The lock-like chained handle is not sawed, that is, the present invention is much more economical and anti-theft than conventional locks.

[0016]

[Effect of device]

 According to the present invention configured as described above, the working rod is stretched to an appropriate length and is covered and locked on the upper surface of the handle. In addition to being restricted to the activity space of the vehicle, even if the steering wheel is partially cut, the vehicle is still covered with a locking lock, so that the vehicle theft can be reliably prevented. Moreover, since it does not require a relatively complicated assembly technique, it is easy to install and remove, and since it is not a lock that is connected to the internal structure of the vehicle, it does not affect the performance of the vehicle.
