Steering lock device

A steering lock device comprising:

• a camshaft including a shaft portion having an axis, a lock actuation cam that radially projects from a first position of the shaft portion in an axial direction, and a projection that radially projects from a second position of the shaft portion that differs from the first position in the axial direction, wherein the camshaft is rotated about the axis when a key cylinder is operated by a mechanical key;
• a housing that rotatably accommodates the camshaft;
• and
• a lock bar that is moved by the lock actuation cam in a locking direction or an unlocking direction when the camshaft is rotated, wherein
• when the lock bar is moved in the locking direction, the lock bar engages a steering shaft to lock the steering shaft,
• when the lock bar is moved in the unlocking direction, the lock bar is disengaged from the steering shaft to unlock the steering shaft, and
• when the lock bar locks the steering shaft, the camshaft is configured so that the projection is separated from the shaft portion if a load exceeding a predetermined strength acts on the projection of the camshaft, wherein the predetermined strength rotates the lock actuation cam to disengage the lock bar from the steering shaft.
