DESCRIPTION

Individual theft deterrent alarm and identifier of bicycles and similar vehicles.

Object of the invention

The present invention relates to an individual alarm device for bicycles and similar vehicles whose function is to deter the possible attempted robbery of the vehicle of two or more wheels, of the type bicycle, moped and even motorcycle, by a third party. The protection will cover from the parts of the vehicle that we choose to protect, to the whole of it.

The first protection function is carried out by means of a cut-resistant cable that links the various parts of the vehicle that we want to protect, and in its entirety, if it is connected to an anchored outer element.

The second protection function is aimed at discouraging, by activating a light and audible alarm, the attempt of partial or total theft of the vehicle when the passage of a low-voltage current is interrupted, through a cable housed inside of the resistant cable indicated in the previous paragraph, either due to its breakage due to sectioning, starting or disconnection not allowed.

The third protection function is materialized by the identification of the vehicle and owner, by means of a registration that associates it with a barcode, registration number and contactless type microchip. All of them are associated and unique, making the parts of the vehicle and its assembly identified at all times, creating a clear impediment to the use of others or attempted sales to third parties.

The places of application will preferably be the areas authorized for parking of this type of vehicles by the Town Halls or other public institutions. But it can be used in any place where you want to park the vehicle, whether public or private, with respect to civic norms and common sense of non-interference with its use by third parties of parking places.

It can also be applicable for transport by other vehicles, either with attachment to any part of it or simply to maintain its integrity during its transfer.

The most desirable places for their greater guarantees of protection and regulation of parking, would be the parking lots enabled for this purpose, being more effective and being standardized, being an interactive control of the parking place by the public or private institution that manages For this case, a reinforcement and hook-up system to public furniture is included, which is described here as optional (figure 5) and which can be contemplated next to the individual alarm system.

Background of the invention

There are some elements in the market for occasional, partial operation, etc. which focus almost on elements attached to the furniture of this class of vehicles, or on exclusive car parks for loan vehicles adapted exclusively to them, which in some cases go through the implementation of complicated hooks on these vehicles.

The effectiveness of the binding elements decreases, in general, by decreasing their weight and the thickness of the material used. It also happens with the supports specifically installed by the municipalities, which end up being manipulated and even serrated.

As the vehicle's own individual alarm, oblivious to fixed elements installed, there are several inventions, as is the case of US2014000322A1, with a location system associated with very expensive emitters for the habitual user, and that would depend on constant coverage, protection against inhibitors of very delicate signal and systems against climatic factors. All this very complicated application and high cost.

Another similar invention is DE102007035397A, which has a housing system for a cable attached to an element coupled to the frame of the vehicle, into which it is screwed. These inventions require a housing for collecting a sectional cable proportional to the protection we want to provide, not having burglar alarms in the vehicle itself.

There are other inventions based on a sensor / controller of vehicle movement, vibration or inclination, which transmit this information to the user such as patent CA2615817A1.

Other inventions are based on the integration in the bicycle of mechanical mooring systems that are attached to the structure of the vehicle such as patents US2009078009A1, US409939394A, ESI 124605605 or ES2406855B1.

Unlike these inventions, the proposed system consists of several deterrent elements such as a locator associated with the owner; a vehicle identifier that does not require expensive technology and less from the user; an independent cable to the alarm, which does not need an elevated section, which has economical commercial spare parts and can be carried in the place that the user chooses; an alarm box that does not require the opening of sophisticated systems and mechanical elements, which are protected from the elements and are not affected by external technological devices; and a sound and light alarm box, with the possibility of connection to the elderly, to approved parking facilities. All this, accompanied by a parallel system of linking and identification of the property.

Description of the invention

The increase in mobility in cities through the use of bicycles, the scarce and ineffective elements of identification of this type of vehicle, as well as poor resistance to handling them and the lack of municipal records, make this field a poorly protected field.

The invention aims to act in a preventive manner against the total or partial theft of this class of vehicles, and in parallel, in the improvement in its identification at the request of the agents of the authority in order to verify the ownership of the user.

The individual deterrent alarm for theft and identification of bicycles and similar vehicles consists of two dissuasive systems of partial or total theft, which can act jointly or individually. You can also carry an associated system of protection and identification of the vehicle and its parts.

The elements of the deterrent systems of theft are:

- Wiring (1) protected from the weather, consisting of an electrical conductor (21) and surrounded by a light-resistant, flexible, and externally protected cut-off material (22)
