Abstract
A steering lock device includes a trigger that is displaced as a frame cover drops from a frame, an auxiliary lock device that holds a lock member in a locked position as the trigger is displaced under condition that the lock member is positioned in the locked position, housing components that are arranged in a housing chamber defined by the frame cover and the frame or in a guide hole, and a trigger coupling member that couples the housed components and the trigger. When the housed components are displaced, the trigger is displaced via the trigger coupling member.

- a lock member arranged in a guide hole provided in the frame so as to be slidable between a locked position and an unlocked position;
- a trigger configured to be displaced as the frame cover drops from the frame;
- an auxiliary lock device configured to allow the lock member to be held in the locked position as the trigger is displaced under a condition that the lock member is positioned in the locked position;
- a drive unit arranged in a housing chamber defined by the frame cover and the frame, the drive unit for applying a driving force for displacing the lock member;
- and
- a trigger coupling member that couples the drive unit and the trigger, wherein
