An automobile steering wheel lock with alarm function comprising:
- a steering wheel lock body having a lock housing disposed at one side thereof, and a lock pin as well as a fix bolt disposed therein;
- a locking means combined in said lock housing of said steering wheel lock body, comprising a sleeve, a first core plate, a second core plate, a third core plate, a first actuating rod, a second actuating rod, a driving member, a shell, an alarm device and a moving member;
- said sleeve having a keyhole formed at one side thereof and two opposite slide rails disposed in an inner wall therein, said two opposite slide rails provided with a plurality of engagement grooves corresponding in location to each other;
- said first, second and third core plates accommodated in said sleeve, each of said core plates having a central hole, a plurality of through holes and two notches corresponding in location to said two opposite slide rails of said sleeve;
- said first and second actuating rods accommodated in said sleeve, respectively fitted with a first spring and a second spring, and capable of passing through said core plates and said driving member, said first actuating rod having a retainer provided to be pushed by said third core plate, and said second actuating rod having a stop portion disposed at a top thereof and provided to be stopped against and pushed by said first core plate;
- said driving member accommodated in said sleeve and located below said third core plate and capable of being passed through by said first and second actuating rods, a third spring located in between said third core plate and said driving member, said driving member having an axle rod extending downwards from a lower surface thereof, said axle rod having an engagement block disposed at one end thereof;
- said shell connected with said sleeve and having a recess and a chamber, said recess having a through hole formed at a bottom thereof, said chamber extending from one side of said shell and communicating with said recess;
- said alarm device accommodated in said shell and comprising a circuit plate, a buzzer plate and a cap, said circuit plate securely fixed to said axle rod of said driving member and having two actuating pieces disposed on an upper surface of said circuit plate and respectively corresponding in location to said first and second actuating rods, said buzzer plate and said cap disposed in said chamber of said shell, said buzzer plate connected with said circuit plate by electric cords;
- said moving member attached to a bottom of said shell and having an insertion groove disposed in a center of one side thereof and corresponding in location to said through hole of said recess of said shell for said engagement block of said axle rod of said driving member to insert in and engage firmly, said moving member having a block disposed at the other side thereof for moving said lock pin of said steering wheel lock body;
- and,
- whereby when a matching key is inserted in said locking means combined in said lock housing of said steering wheel lock body, said matching key can match with said core plates to make said two actuating rods contact with or withdraw from said two actuating pieces simultaneously, thereby preventing said alarm device from sounding;
- otherwise, if other tools are inserted to push said core plates, it is likely to make only one of said actuating rods move forwards to contact with one of said actuating pieces, thus activating said alarm device to sound the alarm.
