Abstract

A steering lock is disclosed for blocking the rotary movement of a motor-vehicle steering shaft, with at least two locking bolts which are movable close to or at a short distance from one another and next to one another in guides and which, in a position blocking the steering shaft, reach into a recess in the steering shaft by means of a front end face and are movable away from the steering shaft into a non-blocking position in their longitudinal extension. The particular guide (17) is so wide that the locking bolt (13, 14) is tiltable in this. A side wall (19) of the locking-bolt guide (17) has a projection (21) or set-off portion, against which the locking bolt (13, 14) rests by means of a projection or an edge (22) in the blocking and tilted position, in order to secure the blocking position.
