Abstract
An ignition lock assembly includes a lock housing and an ignition lock actuator assembly. The lock housing has a first portion and a second portion that extends from the first portion along an axis. The ignition lock actuator assembly is received within the second portion. The ignition lock actuator assembly includes an actuator gear and a lock cylinder drive disk. The lock cylinder drive disk is at least partially received within the actuator gear. The lock cylinder drive disk has a drive disk body that extends between a first disk end and a second disk end. The first disk end has an inhibit feature.
Claims19
An ignition lock assembly, comprising:
- an ignition lock actuator assembly received within a lock housing, the ignition lock actuator assembly, comprising:
- an actuator gear having a base and an annular wall extending from the base, the base and the annular wall defining a cavity;
- a lock cylinder drive disk at least partially received within the cavity, the lock cylinder drive disk having a drive disk body extending between a first disk end and a second disk end along an axis, the first disk end having an inhibit feature configured to selectively engage a stop feature extending from a keyed cylinder sleeve that is at least partially received within the lock housing having a keyed cylinder movable between a first position and a second position;
- and
- a biasing member disposed between the actuator gear and the lock cylinder drive disk, the biasing member configured to bias the first disk end towards the keyed cylinder sleeve.
An ignition lock assembly, comprising:
- a lock housing having a first portion and a second portion extending from the first portion along an axis;
- and
- an ignition lock actuator assembly received within the second portion, the ignition lock actuator assembly, comprising:
- an actuator gear;
- and
- a lock cylinder drive disk at least partially received within the actuator gear, the lock cylinder drive disk having a drive disk body extending between a first disk end and a second disk end, the first disk end having an inhibit feature.
A lock cylinder drive disk, comprising:
- a drive disk body extending between a first disk end and a second disk end along an axis, the drive disk body defining a first opening that extends from the first disk end towards the second disk end and an inhibit feature on the first disk end that is spaced apart from the first opening, the inhibit feature being configured to selectively engage a stop feature extending from a keyed cylinder sleeve to selectively inhibit movement of the keyed cylinder sleeve between a first position and a second position.
