Abstract
The device comprises, mounted on the steering column, a sleeve (2) in the outer surface of which are provided cavities (3) for receiving the bolt (4) of a locking system (5) for preventing rotation of the column. The sleeve is mounted on the column with a tight fit which produces the deformation of at least one of the two parts beyond the elastic limit of the material from which it is made.
