In an electric steering lock device for saddle-ride type vehicle, a casing movably supports a lock pin and a slider. The lock pin is linearly movable between a lock position and an unlock position. The slider is movable in a direction identical to a movement direction of the lock pin. The casing houses an elastic member that is interposed between the lock pin and the slider, and an electric motor that provides a power that drives the slider. The electric steering lock device for saddle-ride type vehicle avoids being large-sized and reliably detects a position of the lock pin. A casing 18 movably supports a first interlocking member 72 and a second interlocking member 73. The first interlocking member 72 moves in a direction identical to a lock pin 19 by interlocking with the lock pin 19. The second interlocking member 73 moves in a direction orthogonal to the movement direction of the lock pin 19 and the first interlocking member 72 by interlocking with the first interlocking member 72. A switch 74 that detects a position of the second interlocking member 73 is mounted on the casing 18.

A lock apparatus includes a bracket, an engagement module, and an actuation module. The engagement module is supported in the bracket and has an engagement member configured to move to a first position or a second position in a first axial direction along the first axial direction. The actuation module is connected to the bracket and includes a pushing member. The actuation module drives the pushing member to move to a first position or a second position in the second axial direction along the second axial direction. When the pushing member is at the first position in the second axial direction, the engagement member is at the first position in the first axial direction. When the pushing member is at the second position in the second axial direction, the engagement member is at the second position in the first axial direction.

A steer-by-wire steering device includes a steering shaft 7; a rotation-restricting member A including an annular main cylindrical portion 1 mounted on the steering shaft 7 and at least one main ridge portion 2 formed on an outer periphery of the main cylindrical portion 1; an engagement member 6 configured to move in proximity to and away from the rotation-restricting member A; and a cushioning member B. The engagement member 6 and the at least one main ridge portion 2 are configured to come in contact with each other through the cushioning member B in conjunction with rotation of the steering shaft 7.

A vehicle theft prevention device includes a shaft, a tilt drive unit, and an expansion and contraction drive unit. A steering wheel that changes and operates a direction of a wheel in a vehicle is mounted on the shaft. The tilt drive unit adjusts an up-down angle of the shaft. The expansion and contraction drive unit adjusts a front-back position of the shaft. A lock mechanism is provided in which an engaging portion and an engaged portion that engage with each other and block rotation of the shaft when the shaft is at a preset tilt position and expansion-and-contraction position are arranged so as to be allocated to the shaft and the vehicle.

A steering shaft decoupling assembly includes a steering shaft. The assembly also includes a lower shaft mechanically coupled to the steering shaft. The assembly further includes a steering shaft locking component engageable with the steering shaft and moveable between a first position and a second position, the first position locking the steering shaft to prevent axial translation and the second position unlocking the steering shaft to allow axial translation of the steering shaft, the steering shaft locking component being in the second position in an autonomous driving mode, the autonomous driving mode comprising an advanced driving assist system controlling road wheels of a vehicle resulting in rotation of the lower shaft.

Steering column for a motor vehicle including two telescopic drive shafts linked in rotation, allowing an axial sliding of a front shaft supporting a steering wheel, successively over, starting from the most forward position, a first range of depth adjustment of the position of this steering wheel, then a second damping range used in the case of an accident for damping an impact of the driver on the steering wheel, this column including an electric motorization for controlling the sliding, and an anti-theft blocking device blocking the rotation of one of the shafts, which is automatically engaged for an axial position for blocking the front shaft given by the motorization located in the second damping range.

A lock device includes a locking member, a movable member, and a transmission mechanism. The locking member is moved between a lock position at which it locks a locking subject and an unlock position at which it unlocks the locking subject. The transmission mechanism transmits a drive force to the movable member and moves the movable member. A movement state of the movable member is shifted between a relative movement state in which it is moved relative to the locking member and an integral movement state in which it is moved together with the locking member to move the locking member toward the lock or unlock position. The lock device further includes a detector of which an output value varies in accordance with movement of the movable member or the transmission mechanism, and a controller that performs a failure determination based on a change in the output value.
