TITLE: ANTISLIPPI~G DEVICE FOR CARS IN A STATIONARY STATE

~ACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates generally to an antislipping device for cars in a stationary state, ` 5 especially to a device able to hold the brakeQ of cars in a stationar~ state so as to prevent them from moving when stationed on inclined oround.
A car driver should pull up or pres~ down the emergency brake of the car so as to avoid the car from slipping when Ytationed on an inclined ~round. However, sometimes a car driver may forget to pull up or press down the emergency brake when the car is parked. At such times, if the the ~round of a parking lot is inclined, then the car will begin to slip down and an accident will inevitably occur. Similarly, if the car is halted on a sloping road and the driver forgets to keep on treading the brake pedal or forgets to pull up the emergency brake, then the car will begin to slip down and collide with the car halted behind or ahead.
Furthermore, a car driver is apt to forget to release the emergency brake or release the emergency brake incompletely. In such cases, the brake lining will be worn out rapidl~.
.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The primar~ object of the pre~ent invention is to provide an antislipping device for cars in a stationary state, which is able to hold the brake of a car when the brake pedal has been trodden down to stop the moving of the car.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE P~EFERRED EMBODIMENT
.
As shown in Fig. 4, the antislipping device for cars in a stationary state according to this invention comprises a CPU 10j a tachometer 11, an electroma~netic latch 12 and a sensor 15. It should be noted that the tachometer 11 can be of any form as long as it can detect the rotation of the car wheels. In this embodiment, the tachometer 11 can be a conventional one mounted near one of the car wheels. The sensor 15 is mounted near the accelerator pedal (not shown) of the car. As shown in Fig. 1, the electromagnetic latch 12 is mounted near a retainer plate 201a of the link 201 of the brake pedal 20 of the car. The CPU 10 is accommodated within a suitable space in the car. The retainer plate 201a is integrally formed with the link 201 of the brake pedal 20. A~ shown in Fig 3 ? the retainer plate 201a has a plurality of holes 23. The ~ectional views of the holes 25 23 sre shown in Fig. 6. As shown in Fig. 6, each hole 23 has a slop side wall 23b so that the retainer plate 201a is able to move trelative to the slide bolt 122) in the direction of the arrow B without an~ impedance, and is prevented from moving in the reversed direction.
The tachometer 11, the electromagnetic latch 12 and the sensor 15 are electrically connected with the CPU 10 by way of an input port 13 and an output port 14. The tachometer 11 is so designed that it constantly outputs a signal to the CPU 10 which indicates whether the wheels ' :

~ " ~ .
., ~, , .

2 ~
of the car are rotating or not. The ~ensor 15 is designed to output a signal to the CPU 10 when it senses the accelerator pedal (not shown) of the car i~ trodden down to a certain e~tent.
The construction of the electromagnetic lat¢h 12 shown in Fig. 2 comprises a cylindrical housing 121, a slide bolt 122, a cap 123, an electromagnet 124 and a coil spring 125. The slide bolt 122 is slidabl~ mounted within the housing 121 which is threadedly engaged with the cap 123. The coil spring 125 is accommodated between the flange 122a of the slide bolt 122 and the cap 123, so as to urge the slide bolt 122 away from the electromagnet 124. The electromagnet 124 is ~ecured on the cap 123.
When the electromagnet 124 is activated, the slide bolt 122 will be attracted toward the electromagnet 124, that is, the slide bolt 122 will retreat to some e~tent into the housing 121.
Fig. 3 is an enlarged perspective view showing how the electromagnetic latch 12 holds the brake pedal 20.
The slide bolt 122 of the electromagnetic latch 12 penetrates one of the holes 23 of the retainer plate 201a of the brake pedal 20 which has been trodden down (in the direction of the arrow B). In this case, the brake pedal 20 is restrained to be released, that is, the brake pedal 20 is held. If the slide bolt 122 retreats to a certain e~tent so that it no more hinders the baokward motion of the brake pedal 20, then the brake pedal 20 ~ will disengage with the slide bolt 122 and move ba¢k to - its original position, that is, the brake pedal 20 will be released from being trapped.
The following is a detailed description of the operation of the CPU 10 of the antislipping device according to this invention. As shown in Fig. 5, when the ignition switch (not shown) of the car is turned on, the CPU 10 is activated (step 501) and starts to receive signal from the tachometer 11 (step 502), then, the CPU

checks the signal coming from the tachometer 11 ~step 503). If the ~ignal coming from the tachometer indicate~
that the wheels of the car are in a state of rotation, then the proce~ goeY back to step 502, that i3, keepq on receiving ~ignal from the tachometer 11. If the ~ignal coming from the tachometer indicates that the wheel~ of the car are kept ~till, then the CPU checks the sen~or 15 (step 504), i~ the ~ignal coming from the ~ensor 15 show~
that the accelerator pedal is trodden down to a certain extent ~described hereinafter), then the CPU conduct~ the electromagnetic latch 12 to withdraw the slide bolt 122 for a predetermined time period (step 505). After this, the proce'ss goe~ back to step 502 and keeps on running.
If the ignition switch is turned off, then the CPU 10 stops working~
By this arrangement, if the car driver treads down the brake pedal 20 (see Fig. 3) to stop the moving of the car, then the slide bolt 122 will be urged by the coil spring 125 to extrude outward and penetrate one hole 23 of the retainer plate 201a to hinder the backward motion of the brake pedal 20. It should be noted that durin~ the treading of the brake pedal 20, the motion of the brake pedal will not be hindered by the slide bolt 122. Thu~, if the brake pedal 20 is trodden down to the bottom, then - 25 the brake pedal 20 will be held and the car will be trapped when it is a ~tationary state.
If the car is a stationary state and the driver treads down the accelerator pedal (not shown), then the R.P.M. of the engine will rise. At the time the R.P.M. of the engine reaches a predetermined value, that is, the accelerator pedal is trodden down to a certain extent, the ~lide bolt 122 of the eletromagnetic latch 12 will be withdrawn and let the brake pedal ~pring back to its original location, that i~, relea~e the brake. At this moment, the driver may release the clutch pedal to drive the car. The slide bolt will retreat automatically when '.ë ~

the R.P.M. of the engine reaches a predetermined value, thus avoiding trapping the car.
While the invention has been described in terms of what is presently considered to be the most practical and preferred embodiments, it is to be understood that the invention need not be limited to the disclosed embodiments. On the contrary, it is intended to cover various modifications and similar arrangements included within the spirit and scope of the appended claims, the scope of which should be accorded the broadest interpretation so as to encompass all ~uch modifications and similar struotures.
