Abstract

See full text

The invention relates to a device for locking (D) the steering column of a motorcycle (M), which includes a first module (200) secured to the rotating column and a second module (100) secured to the frame of the vehicle (M), which is stationary with respect to said column,

    said frame mechanically limiting the angular amplitude of rotation of said column,a module (200) including a locking bolt (211) projecting toward the other module (100), and the other module (100) including two flat bolts (110) projecting toward the other module (200). Said device is remarkable in that the two flat bolts (110) are arranged at the two ends of the angular course defined by said frame, so as to create an area of operation without possible locking between said two flat bolts (110),a locking area at each end of the angular course so that said locking bolt (211) can reach the end of the angular course and the corresponding locking area only in the retracted position of the locking bolt (211) or the flat bolts (110),and the deployment of said locking bolt (211) or the flat bolts (110) in the area of operation defined between the two flat bolts (110) prevents said locking bolt (211) from passing into the locking area during normal operation of the vehicle.
