Abstract

An ignition lock unit with a disassembly which can be cancelled only by means of an associated key rotated into a predetermined position and with a coupling connected to cable ends which is adapted to be mounted over the coordinated contact pins of the ignition starter switch part of the ignition lock unit. The coupling includes a contact carrier plate with a centrally arranged aperture for a locking rod extending out of the ignition starter switch, whereby the latter during the assembly and disassembly of the coupling, passes through this aperture when a corresponding position is reached by means of the key. In every other position of the key or with a removed key, the free end of the locking rod engages the aperture hook-shaped from behind.
