Abstract
Abstract A combined lock for a steering wheel and a hand brake, wherein a steering wheel lock is used to lock the steering wheel immovable and an extensible bar lock is used to lock the hand brake immovable. Said steering wheel lock is combined with the extensible bar lock by means of a steering wheel lock tube and an extensible bar movably contained in said tube and in said extensible bar lock, said bar pivotally connected with a hand brake cylinder; therefore, after the steering wheel locked, adjusting the extensible bar, shielding said cylinder around the hand brake and locking the extensible bar lock can lock both the steering wheel and the hand brake immovable at the same time.
