ERNEST L. von RAI-IR, 0F HAVERHILL, vMASSAGEU'SETTS.

. Application ined June 1s, 1919.

To all 'whom t may concern:

Be it known that l, ERNEST L. voN Rai-rn, a Citizen of the' United States, residing at Haverhill, inthe county of Essex and State of Massachusetts, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Steering- Wheels, of which the following is a specication.

This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in steering wheels for motor vehicles and the like, and it has for its objects among others to provide a simple and cheap, yet durable and ellicient construction of steering wheel applicable yto steering posts of the different makes of machines, with means for locking the wheel in place, the construction being such that the same may be unlocked when leaving the car so that the steering wheel will turn freely without turning the wheels of the car should an unauthorized person attempt to drive away with the car.

Heretofore it has been proposed to `provide means whereby the steering wheel is locked to the steering post, necessitating a particular construction of post and, hence, the steering wheel is not applicable to dierent makes of-machines.

My improved device is exceedingly simple, of few parts,.those readily assembled andnot liable to get out of order.

Other objects and advantages of the' in vention .will hereinafter appear and thev novel features .thereof will be particularly pointed out in the appended claims.

The invention is clearly illustrated in the accompanying drawing, which, with the numerals of reference marked thereon, form .a part of this specification, and in willich* Figure 1 is a top plan oi my improved steering wheel applied to a steering post.

Fig. 2 is a vertical section with a part broken away.

Fig. 3 is an elevation of the centrall portion or cylinder removed, with the steering wheel in position.

Like numerals of reference indicate like parts througrhmi't the different views.

Referring to the drawings,

l designates the outer or rim portion rolf the steering,r wheel which is designed to be 'grasped by the hands of the driver, and 2 are the radial members connectinga the same with the annular member 3.

4: is a cylindrical member ldesigned to fit Within the annular member 3, having at its Specification of Letters-Patent.

Patented Dec. 16, 1919. serial No. 304,999.

of a lock of any suitable nature. This lock'v is carried in the annular member 3, as seen best in F ig. 2, the barrel 10 thereof being seated in a chamber or the like 11 in said annular member and provided with a, key--` hole 12 adapted-to receive a key 13, in the present instance the samebeing shown as of.

the type known as the Yale lock, for an obvious purpose.

The member 4 is provided with a. central polygonal opening `lll designed to receive the correspondingly shaped portion 15 of the steering post 16. The upper end of the steering post beyond the polygonal portion may be provided with a cylindrical portion 17 screw-threaded to receive the .ornamental cap 18, as seen in Fig. 2, if desired.

19 is a ring ttmg in the space formed by 'the shoulders 6 and 7 and secured to the member 4 by suitable means, as shown at 20,

-these last-named means being removable for the purpose of disassen'ibling the parts when desired. When in position, the ring serves to hold the parts' in assembled position.

If desired, the central member, either the member l or the ring 19, may be provided with some indicating character such as an arrow 21, as seen in Fig. l, to indicate when the parts are in proper position so that the bolt of the lock maybe thrown into the opening 8 of the member 4.

Tn practice, the wheels are made for the market with' the center holes for the steering posts made to fit the dill'erent makes of machines, so that one can simply buy the steering' wheel, place` it upon a steering post and no modification or alteration of the latter is necessary. When the car is to be used, thekey is turned so as to throw the bolt into locking position, as indicated in Fig. 2, when the wheel operates as usual. `When the driver leaves the car, he turnsI the key so as to throw the bolt out of the opening 8 in the member 4l so that the inner outer 'portion may beiturned completely? around without moving the inner portio'nfl and, consequently, no motion/is lmparted to the'wheels andthe car cannot be run. W hen the driver again venters the car, he simply throws the bolt intollocked position the Wheel is ready for use.

Modifications in detalmayjbe resorted to -without departing from the spirit of the invention'or sacrificing any of lts advantages.

l. A steering Wheel'applicable to an ordinary steering; post and comprising an' annular member with a 'steering rim and a looking member, and a'cylindrica'l member applioable to an ordinary steering post and having aperipheral opening to receive the member having an annular ange against bolt of the lockingk member, said cylindrical vvhic'h the lower edge of said. annular mem-fI lber rests, and meanssecured to the upper face of the cylindrical member and over lapping the annular" member.

1 2. A steering Wheel applicable to anordil .nary steerlng" post and comprising an annular member With a steering rim and a lock'- ingr member, a cylindrical 'member applicable to an ordinary steering post'and hav- 'ing a peripheral opening to receive the .bolt- -of the, lockingmember' and with a flange at" Aits lower portion and a flange and shoulder at its upper portion, the 'lower flange adapted to support said annularmember,

anda ring seated von the upper flange andl engaging said shoulder and'overlapplng the adjacent edge off said .annular member.

In testimony whereof I-afx my signature.l
