DISPOSITIF DE BLOCAGE DESTINÉ À BLOQUER UN COMPOSANT ESSENTIEL AU FONCTIONNEMENT D'UN VÉHICULE AUTOMOBILE ET PROCÉDÉ DE FIXATION D'UNE GOUPILLE DE BLOCAGE D'UN DISPOSITIF DE BLOCAGE

摘要

The invention relates to a locking device (100) for locking a functionally essential component of a motor vehicle, in particular a steering shaft, with a first housing part (10), in which a locking pin (11) movable between a locking position (VP) for locking the functionally essential component and an unlocking position (EP) is received for releasing the functionally essential component, a second housing part (20), in which means for moving the locking pin (11) between the locking position (VP) and the unlocking position (EP) are accommodated, a securing element (12) in an engaged position (ES) prevents movement of the locking pin (11) and in a retracted position (RS) a movement of the locking pin (11) releases, and a spring element (14), which the securing element (12) in the retracted position (RS) using a resilient bias (V) holds when the first housing part (10) on the second hous seteil (20) is arranged, and in the engagement position (ES) by a spring back (R) releases when the first housing part (10) is changed in its arrangement to the second housing part (20). For this purpose, it is provided according to the invention that the spring element (14) on the locking pin (11) is supported and the locking pin (11) from the unlocked position (EP) in the locking position (VP) acted upon by a resilient bias (V).
