Abstract
A push-button steering wheel lock for attachment to an automobile steering wheel is provided having a housing and a push-button assembly disposed in the housing. The assembly is positioned in either a locked position for securing the steering wheel lock to the steering wheel or an unlocked position. In the locked position, the push-button lock assembly engages a rod slideably disposed in the housing to prevent movement of the rod with respect to the housing. The push-button assembly also includes two levers, one each on either side of the assembly to engage two surfaces within the housing to retain the push-button assembly in the locked position and also to retain the push-button assembly in the housing.
