Detailed description of preferred embodiments of the invention
En las figuras 1 a 3 se muestra una posible realizacion del dispositivo 1 de acuerdo con la presente invencion. La figura 1 muestra una vista en perspectiva del dispositivo que, de acuerdo con la presente invencion, tiene forma de caja.A possible embodiment of the device 1 according to the present invention is shown in Figures 1 to 3. Figure 1 shows a perspective view of the device which, according to the present invention, is in the form of a box.
En particular, comprende una parte externa 10, concebida para estar orientada hacia el exterior, por ejemplo hacia abajo, y al menos una parte interna 16-19 concebida para estar orientada hacia el catalizador o filtro 23 que hay que proteger, de modo que unos componentes de enganche del catalizador o filtro estan protegidos del fondo del vehnculo, que es normalmente la unica manera de llegar a unos componentes de este tipo. Dicha parte externa 10 del dispositivo 1 se muestra en la figura 4.In particular, it comprises an external part 10, designed to be oriented outwardly, for example downwards, and at least an internal part 16-19 designed to be oriented towards the catalyst or filter 23 to be protected, so that Catalyst or filter hitch components are protected from the bottom of the vehicle, which is normally the only way to reach such components. Said external part 10 of the device 1 is shown in Figure 4.
En el ejemplo mostrado en las figuras 1 a 3, una parte externa 10 de este tipo se obtiene mediante una placa plana 11 que tiene la forma de un trapezoide de angulo recto, con dos bordes plegados de modo que puedan estar fijados al vehnculo.In the example shown in Figures 1 to 3, an external part 10 of this type is obtained by means of a flat plate 11 having the shape of a trapezoid of right angle, with two folded edges so that they can be fixed to the vehicle.
La forma de la placa puede variar de acuerdo con la posicion del catalizador o filtro 23 en relacion con las partes fijas del vehnculo, como, por ejemplo, los miembros laterales 21.The shape of the plate may vary according to the position of the catalyst or filter 23 in relation to the fixed parts of the vehicle, such as, for example, the side members 21.
Con referencia particular a las figuras 1 y 2, los bordes 12 y 13 estan plegados preferentemente a 90° con respecto al plano de la placa 11.With particular reference to Figures 1 and 2, the edges 12 and 13 are preferably folded at 90 ° with respect to the plane of the plate 11.
Unos bordes de este tipo comprenden unos medios de fijacion respectivos 14 y 15 al vehnculo.Such edges include respective fixing means 14 and 15 to the vehicle.
La parte externa 10, junto con al menos uno de los elementos internos de 16 a 19, define al menos un cuerpo en forma de caja.The outer part 10, together with at least one of the internal elements 16 to 19, defines at least one box-shaped body.
Tales elementos internos llevan a cabo varias funciones relacionadas con el fortalecimiento del dispositivo, en particular impiden que la parte externa 10 se deforme durante un intento de corte por medio de una rectificadora, evitando que el disco llega a los componentes de enganche del catalizador o filtro 23. Tambien llevan a cabo una funcion de redundancia mecanica con respecto a la parte externa 10, en caso de que esta ultima estuviera danada.Such internal elements carry out various functions related to the strengthening of the device, in particular preventing the external part 10 from being deformed during an attempt to cut by means of a grinding machine, preventing the disk from reaching the coupling components of the catalyst or filter. 23. They also carry out a mechanical redundancy function with respect to the external part 10, in case the latter is damaged.
Con referencia particular a la figura 3, puede senalarse que se define un espacio o distancia transversal W1-W3 entre la parte externa 10 y los elementos internos 16-19. Una distancia de este tipo es preferentemente mayor que la longitud de corte del disco de una rectificadora inalambrica. Debe senalarse que el diametro de unos discos de este tipo es estandar. Esto implica, como se explicara mas abajo, que tienen que hacerse numerosos cortes en el dispositivo 1 con el objeto de neutralizarlo.With particular reference to Figure 3, it can be noted that a transverse space or distance W1-W3 is defined between the external part 10 and the internal elements 16-19. A distance of this type is preferably greater than the cutting length of the disk of a wireless grinding machine. It should be noted that the diameter of such discs is standard. This implies, as explained below, that numerous cuts have to be made in the device 1 in order to neutralize it.
De acuerdo con otro aspecto de la presente invencion, el dispositivo esta preferentemente conectado a un miembro lateral del vehnculo por medio de al menos uno de dichos bordes 12, 13, de modo que esta protegido por un componente de este tipo que se sabe que es sumamente grueso y robusto.According to another aspect of the present invention, the device is preferably connected to a side member of the vehicle by means of at least one of said edges 12, 13, so that it is protected by such a component that is known to be extremely thick and robust.
En la realizacion mostrada en el presente documento, el dispositivo 1 comprende elementos internos en forma de U 16 y 19 que forman el mismo numero de perfiles en forma de caja en correspondencia de los bordes plegados 12 y 13, respectivamente.In the embodiment shown herein, the device 1 comprises U-shaped internal elements 16 and 19 that form the same number of box-shaped profiles corresponding to the folded edges 12 and 13, respectively.
Los otros elementos internos 17 y 18 tienen preferentemente forma de omega, que define, con la parte externa 10, el mismo numero de elementos en forma de caja. Estan de manera apropiada distanciados entre sf y con respecto a los elementos 16 y 19 anteriormente mencionados.The other internal elements 17 and 18 preferably have an omega shape, which defines, with the external part 10, the same number of box-shaped elements. They are appropriately spaced apart from each other and with respect to elements 16 and 19 mentioned above.
De acuerdo con una realizacion alternativa preferente del dispositivo, el borde plegado 13 de la parte externa 10 se conforma para que este montado cerca de un miembro transversal 24 del bastidor del vehnculo y comprende unos medios de fijacion 15 preferentemente adecuados para fijar el dispositivo 1 al suelo del vehnculo. Unos medios de fijacion 15 de este tipo pueden ser, por ejemplo, un par de asientos para el mismo numero de tornillos. Unos medios de fijacion de este tipo, que son adyacentes al miembro transversal 24 y estan hundidos entre el miembro transversal 24 y la placa 11, son apenas accesibles. Ademas, los tornillos preferentemente necesitan herramientas poco comunes, como una llave torx, una llave de tubo, etc...According to a preferred alternative embodiment of the device, the folded edge 13 of the outer part 10 is shaped so that it is mounted near a transverse member 24 of the vehicle frame and comprises fixing means 15 preferably suitable for fixing the device 1 to the vehicle floor. Fixing means 15 of this type can be, for example, a pair of seats for the same number of screws. Fixing means of this type, which are adjacent to the transverse member 24 and are sunk between the transverse member 24 and the plate 11, are barely accessible. In addition, the screws preferably need unusual tools, such as a torx wrench, a socket wrench, etc ...
La distancia entre el dispositivo 1 y el miembro transversal 24 debena ser tal que se evite que el disco de una rectificadora inalambrica corte el borde plegado 13 en un punto fuera del cuerpo en forma de caja definido con el elemento interno 19. En otras palabras, no debena ser posible eludir la redundancia definida por el cuerpo en formaThe distance between the device 1 and the transverse member 24 should be such that the disc of a wireless grinding machine is prevented from cutting the folded edge 13 at a point outside the body in a box-like shape defined with the internal element 19. In other words, it should not be possible to avoid the redundancy defined by the body in a way

El borde plegado 12 se conforma para que sea adherente al miembro lateral 21 cuando esta montado y comprende preferentemente una bisagra 14b adecuada para estar fijada directamente al miembro lateral 21 del vetuculo. De acuerdo con tal realizacion alternativa preferente, un borde plegado de este tipo tambien comprende un gancho 14a que puede estirarse con el objeto de que se enganche al miembro lateral 21, cuando el dispositivo 1 esta fijado al vetuculo. Por lo tanto, incluso cuando una persona malintencionada corta la bisagra 14b, el gancho 14a, que esta sustancialmente colgando del miembro lateral, no permite la extraccion del dispositivo 1, lo que dejana libre el acceso al catalizador o al filtro 23.The folded edge 12 is shaped to be adherent to the side member 21 when mounted and preferably comprises a hinge 14b suitable for being directly attached to the side member 21 of the vehicle. According to such a preferred alternative embodiment, a folded edge of this type also comprises a hook 14a that can be stretched so as to engage the side member 21, when the device 1 is fixed to the vehicle. Therefore, even when a malicious person cuts the hinge 14b, the hook 14a, which is substantially hanging from the side member, does not allow the removal of the device 1, which renders free access to the catalyst or filter 23.
De acuerdo con un intento de robo predecible, la persona malintencionada se echa bajo el vetuculo y, estando delante del dispositivo 1, la primera cosa que el/ella hace es localizar la bisagra 14b. Despues de esto, el/ella la corte por medio de una rectificadora inalambrica, pero el/ella descubre que esta fija al vetuculo en un punto mas alto al que no puede llegar el disco de la rectificadora, debido a la interferencia del miembro lateral 21. En este punto, la persona malintencionada detecta la presencia de los medios de fijacion 15, pero, puesto que el/ella no tiene las llaves necesarias, el/ella intenta hacer un corte paralelo al borde plegado 13. Un corte de este tipo no tiene ningun efecto relevante, puesto que el elemento interno 19 conecta los medios de fijacion 15 a la placa 11, eludiendo la interconexion entre las partes. En este punto, la persona malintencionada puede hacer mas cortes, pero, puesto que el/ella no sabe y no puede ver desde el exterior los puntos de fijacion de los elementos internos 16-19, el/ella procedena mediante prueba y error, lo que implica una perdida de tiempo mas, hasta que el/ella se disuade y se marcha antes de que el conductor o el propietario del vehfculo regrese.According to a predictable robbery attempt, the malicious person is thrown under the vehicle and, being in front of the device 1, the first thing he / she does is locate the hinge 14b. After this, he / she cuts it by means of a wireless grinding machine, but he / she discovers that it is fixed to the vehicle at a higher point that the grinding disc cannot reach, due to interference from the lateral member 21 At this point, the malicious person detects the presence of the fixing means 15, but, since he / she does not have the necessary keys, he / she attempts to make a cut parallel to the folded edge 13. Such a cut does not It has no relevant effect, since the internal element 19 connects the fixing means 15 to the plate 11, avoiding the interconnection between the parts. At this point, the malicious person can make more cuts, but, since he / she does not know and cannot see from the outside the fixation points of the internal elements 16-19, he / she proceeds by trial and error, which implies a waste of more time, until he / she dissuades and leaves before the driver or the owner of the vehicle returns.
De acuerdo con otro aspecto de la invencion, la parte externa 10 esta preferentemente a una altura de 30 cm desde el terreno, cuando el dispositivo esta montado en un vetuculo y este ultimo esta en orden de marcha.According to another aspect of the invention, the external part 10 is preferably at a height of 30 cm from the ground, when the device is mounted in a vehicle and the latter is in running order.
En una situacion de este tipo, una persona malintencionada no puede poner sus codos en el terreno con el objeto de empujar la rectificadora contra el dispositivo 1. Por lo tanto, el/ella esta forzado/a a trabajar con sus brazos hacia fuera rectos y sobresaliendo del cuerpo. Una posicion de este tipo es muy incomoda y no permite que la persona malintencionada ejerza suficiente fuerza para cortar y destruir el dispositivo 1 en un corto periodo de tiempo razonable.In such a situation, a malicious person cannot put his elbows on the ground in order to push the grinder against the device 1. Therefore, he / she is forced to work with his arms straight out and sticking out of the body. Such a position is very uncomfortable and does not allow the malicious person to exert enough force to cut and destroy the device 1 in a reasonable amount of time.
Durante la rutina de mantenimiento del vetuculo, con el objeto de extraer el dispositivo 1, los medios de fijacion 15 se sueltan, de modo que el dispositivo 1, a bisagra en el miembro lateral 21 por medio de la bisagra 14b puede bascularse con el objeto de dejar libre el acceso al catalizador o filtro 23.During the maintenance routine of the vehicle, in order to remove the device 1, the fixing means 15 are released, so that the device 1, hinged on the side member 21 by means of the hinge 14b can be tilted with the object leaving free access to the catalyst or filter 23.
Cuando se bascula el dispositivo, el gancho 14a se desacopla del miembro lateral, por lo tanto, puede obtenerse una extraccion completa del dispositivo desconectando la bisagra 14b.When the device is tilted, the hook 14a is disengaged from the side member, therefore, a complete removal of the device can be obtained by disconnecting the hinge 14b.
De acuerdo con la presente invencion, es posible llegar a una proteccion efectiva de un catalizador y/o filtro 23 por medio de un dispositivo 1 que tiene al menos un cuerpo en forma de caja. Ademas, este ultimo preferentemente esta conformado con el objeto de que sea adherente y/o adyacente a partes fijas del vehfculo, como miembros laterales o miembros transversales, asegurando que los puntos de fijacion estan protegidos de manera apropiada por unos miembros laterales o miembros transversales de este tipo del propio vehfculo. En particular, los puntos de fijacion debenan estar preferentemente hundidos de modo que un posible punto de corte este dentro de al menos un cuerpo en forma de caja. Ademas, los tornillos de conexion preferentemente necesitan la utilizacion de herramientas poco comunes cuya disponibilidad en el mercado es escasa.In accordance with the present invention, it is possible to reach an effective protection of a catalyst and / or filter 23 by means of a device 1 having at least one box-shaped body. In addition, the latter is preferably shaped so that it is adherent and / or adjacent to fixed parts of the vehicle, such as lateral members or transverse members, ensuring that the fixing points are appropriately protected by lateral members or transverse members of This type of vehicle itself. In particular, the fixing points should preferably be sunk so that a possible cut point is within at least one box-shaped body. In addition, the connection screws preferably need the use of rare tools whose availability in the market is scarce.
A partir de la descripcion expuesta mas arriba sera posible para el experto en la materia la realizacion de la invencion sin necesidad de describir mas detalles de construccion. Los elementos y las caractensticas descritos en las diferentes realizaciones preferentes pueden combinarse sin alejarse del alcance de la presente solicitud.From the description set forth above, it will be possible for the person skilled in the art to carry out the invention without describing more construction details.
