A steering lock device for use with a steering shaft includes a lock bar, a camshaft, and a counterweight. The lock bar is moved between an engagement position where the lock bar is engaged with the steering shaft and a non-engagement position where the lock bar is disengaged from the steering shaft. The camshaft is rotated in response to a locking operation and an unlocking operation. The camshaft includes a lock actuation cam that moves the lock bar to the engagement position in a locking direction, and rotation of the steering shaft is prohibited when the lock bar is engaged with the steering shaft. The counterweight is arranged on the camshaft to adjust rotational balance of the camshaft.

A steering lock device is for use with a steering shaft and includes a lock mechanism that includes a lock bar, a housing that includes an opening and accommodates the lock mechanism, a cover that closes the opening of the housing, and one or more protective walls arranged on the cover. The lock bar locks the steering shaft when the lock bar is moved to an engagement position where the lock bar is engaged with the steering shaft. The one or more protective walls are located in one or more imaginary unauthorized access routes to the lock mechanism extending from outside the steering lock device.

The invention relates to a locking device (70), in particular a steering wheel lock (70), for a vehicle, for a functionally-essential component (74), in particular in the form of a steering column or a gearshift lever or the like, having at least one manually actuable, in particular rotatable, operating part (10), wherein at least two rotational positions (0, III) can be assumed by the operating part (10), namely an off position (0) and a start position (III), wherein in the off position (0), at least one engine of the vehicle can be turned off and/or the functionally-essential component (74) can be fixed by a blocking pin (71) in a locked position, and in the start position (III), at least one consumer, in particular a starter of the vehicle can be turned on and/or the functionally-essential component (74) can be released by a blocking pin (71) in an unlocked position.

It is provided according to the invention that a mechanical reset barrier (15) is provided, which prevents a reset of the operating part (10) at least from the start position (III) into the off position (0), by a, in particular simple, rotation of the operating part (10), into a blocking position (S), wherein the mechanical reset barrier (15) is formed by a control element (72), which mechanically interacts at least with the operating part (10), and a stationary guide cam, which jointly fix the operating part (10) at least in a formfitting manner in the blocking position (S).

A transponder is disclosed. The transponder includes a resonant circuit serving as an antenna, a load modulation module coupled to the resonant circuit, a current source coupled to the resonant circuit and a command interpreter configured to interpret a received initialization command. The command interpreter is configured to monitor input communication for a stop command signal and a charge & talk bit and if the charge & talk bit is not received within a predetermined time interval after receiving the stop command signal, the load modulation module is activated to provide a signal for transmission by modifying an incoming carrier wave through the load modulation module. If the charge & talk bit is received within the predetermined time after receiving the stop command signal, the current source is activated to provide a signal for transmission by generating pulses of current.

A steering lock device includes a lock bar attached to a case member, a motor having an output shaft, a driving gear member which is attached to the output shaft of the motor and which is rotatable together with the output shaft, a driven gear member which is assembled in a state of being meshed with the driving gear member, and which is rotatable in a direction corresponding to a rotation direction of the driving gear member, and a feed screw member which is connected coaxially with the lock bar, which has a male thread screwed with a female thread of the driven gear member and which is capable of causing the lock bar to advance or retreat in an axial direction by the rotation of the driven gear member. The motor, the feed screw member and the lock bar are accommodated in parallel within the case member.
