Patent attributes
Disclosed herein is a mounting structure of a steering column locking device which makes it possible for the steering column locking device to be rotated upwards with respect to a steering column by an impact when part of a driver's body bumps against the steering column locking device in an accident, thereby minimizing injury to the driver. The mounting structure of the steering column locking device according to the present invention includes a connection housing which is mounted at a first end thereof to a steering column, with a coupling slot formed in a second end of the connection housing. The mounting structure of the steering column locking device further includes a coupling protrusion which is provided on the steering column locking device so that the coupling protrusion is movable inserted into the coupling slot of the connection housing, and a locking pin which is fitted into the coupling slot to support the coupling protrusion such that the coupling protrusion remains a stationary state. The locking pin breaks when a predetermined amount of impact or more is applied to the coupling protrusion.
