Description

Procéde et dispositifs antivols pour véhicule à volant de direction. Anti-theft device and method for vehicle with steering wheel.

La présente invention a pour objet un procédé et des dispositifs antivols pour des véhicules comportant un volant de direction. The subject of the present invention is a method and anti-theft devices for vehicles comprising a steering wheel.

Le secteur technique de l'invention est celui de la construction des antivols de véhicules, plus particulièrement de véhicules automobiles ou de bateaux et plus généralement de tous véhicules comportant un volant de direction. The technical sector of the invention is that of the construction of vehicle anti-theft devices, more particularly of motor vehicles or of boats and more generally of all vehicles comprising a steering wheel.

On connaît des dispositifs antivols qui bloquent la colonne de direction, qui paralysent une ou plusieurs pédales ou le levier de vitesse, qui coupent le circuit électrique d'allumage ou qui immobilisent plusieurs organes fonctionnels en les reliant, par exemple des antivols qui relient le volant à l'une des pédales. La plupart de ces antivols connus présentent l'inconvénient de pouvoir etre forcés ou cisaillés et, très souvent,un organe essentiel du véhicule; par exemple la colonne de direction, se trouve être endommagée, même si le véhicule n'est pas volé. Anti-theft devices are known which block the steering column, which paralyze one or more pedals or the gear lever, which cut the electrical ignition circuit or which immobilize several functional organs by connecting them, for example anti-theft devices which connect the steering wheel to one of the pedals. Most of these known anti-theft devices have the disadvantage of being able to be forced or sheared and, very often, an essential organ of the vehicle; for example the steering column, is damaged, even if the vehicle is not stolen.

L'objectif de la présente invention est de procurer un dispositif antivol qui met en oeuvre un procédé totalement différent des procédés utilisés à ce jour et qui permet de réaliser des dispositifs antivols très efficaces et difficiles à violer ou à forcer. The objective of the present invention is to provide an anti-theft device which implements a method totally different from the methods used to date and which makes it possible to produce very effective anti-theft devices which are difficult to break or force.

Cet objectif est atteint au moyen d'un procédé selon lequel on place autour du volant de direction d'un véhicule un boîtier circulaire, verrouillable, qui enveloppe entièrement le volant avec du jeu, de telle sorte que le volant tourne librement à l'intérieur du boîtier.
Un dispositif antivol selon l'invention comporte deux coquilles en forme de demi cercle, qui sont assemblées bout à bout pour former un boîtier circulaire qui enveloppe avec du jeu, la totalité de la face avant du volant et la face arrière, à l'exception d'un passage pour la colonne de direction, et il comporte, en outre, des moyens pour verrouiller ledit boîtier autour du volant en position ferme.
This is achieved by a process whereby a lockable circular housing is placed around the steering wheel of a vehicle, which completely envelops the steering wheel with play, so that the steering wheel turns freely inside of the housing.
An anti-theft device according to the invention comprises two shells in the shape of a semicircle, which are assembled end to end to form a circular housing which envelopes with play, the entire front face of the steering wheel and the rear face, except a passage for the steering column, and it further comprises means for locking said housing around the steering wheel in the closed position.

Selon un mode de réalisation préférentiel les deux coquilles sont reliées entre elles, d'une part, par une articulation qui permet de les engager autour du volent et, d'autre part, par une serrure qui verrouille le boîtier en position fermée.  According to a preferred embodiment, the two shells are interconnected, on the one hand, by an articulation which makes it possible to engage them around the flywheel and, on the other hand, by a lock which locks the housing in the closed position.

L'invention a pour résultat de nouveaux moyens pour empêcher le vol des véhicules équipés d'un volant de direction. The invention results in new means for preventing theft of vehicles equipped with a steering wheel.

Les boîtiers antivols selon l'invention empêchent qu'un voleur puisse manoeuvrer le volant du véhicule et, de ce fait, il empêche le vol du véhicule qui ne peut plus être dirigé. The anti-theft boxes according to the invention prevent a thief from being able to maneuver the steering wheel of the vehicle and, therefore, it prevents theft of the vehicle which can no longer be steered.

De préférence, un boîtier antivol selon l'invention peut tourner librement autour de l'axe de la colonne de direction, de telle sorte que si l'on cherche à le forcer1 il n'offre aucune résistance et se dérobe. Preferably, an anti-theft case according to the invention can rotate freely around the axis of the steering column, so that if one seeks to force it1 it offers no resistance and shies away.

De plus, un boîtier selon l'inventionprésente une surface unie qui n'offre aucune prise pour le fracturer, le forcer ou le cisailler. In addition, a housing according to the invention has a united surface which offers no grip for fracturing, forcing or shearing it.

L'encombrement dlun antivol selon l'invention est du même ordre que celui du volant et, lorsqu'il n'est pas utilisé, on peut le loger sous un siège ou dans la malle du yehicule.  The size of an anti-theft device according to the invention is of the same order as that of the steering wheel and, when not in use, it can be housed under a seat or in the trunk of the vehicle.

La description suivante se réfere aux dessins annexés qui représentent, sans aucun caractère limitatif, un exemple de réalisation d'un dispositif antivol selon l'invention. The following description refers to the appended drawings which represent, without any limiting nature, an exemplary embodiment of an anti-theft device according to the invention.

La figure I est une coupe axiale d'un volant de direction équipé d'un antivol selon l'invention. Figure I is an axial section of a steering wheel fitted with an anti-theft device according to the invention.

La figure 2 est une vue en perspective d'un antivol selon l'invention. Figure 2 is a perspective view of an anti-theft device according to the invention.

Les figures 3 et 4 sont des vues en élévation de face des deux moitiés d'un antivol selon la figure 2. FIGS. 3 and 4 are front elevation views of the two halves of an anti-theft device according to FIG. 2.

Les figures 5 et 6 sont des coupes axiales selon V-V et
VI-VI des figures 3 et 4.
Figures 5 and 6 are axial sections along VV and
VI-VI of Figures 3 and 4.

La figure I représente un volant de direction I d'un véhicule automobile ou d'un bateau. Le volant I est monté à ltex- trématé d'une colonne de direction 2 d'axe x xl placée dans un fourreau 3. Figure I shows a steering wheel I of a motor vehicle or a boat. The steering wheel I is mounted at the top of a steering column 2 of axis x xl placed in a sheath 3.

Le volant représenté comporte un moyeu 4, un volant circulaire 5 et des bras 6 qui relient le volant au moyeu. I1 est précisé que le volant de direction 1 peut avoir n'importe quelle forme connue. Le moyeu 4 est fixé à l'extrémité de la colonne 2 par un ecrou 7. The steering wheel shown comprises a hub 4, a circular steering wheel 5 and arms 6 which connect the steering wheel to the hub. It is specified that the steering wheel 1 can have any known shape. The hub 4 is fixed to the end of the column 2 by a nut 7.

Un antivol selon l'invention est constitué par un boîtier circulaire 8 d'axe x xl qui enveloppe entièrement la face avant du volant et la face arrière à l'exception d'un orifice 9 de passage du moyeu. An anti-theft device according to the invention consists of a circular box 8 of axis x xl which entirely envelops the front face of the steering wheel and the rear face with the exception of an orifice 9 for passage of the hub.

On voit sur la figure 1 qu'il y a du jeu entre le boîtier 8 et le volant 1, de telle sorte que le volant peut tourner librement à l'intérieur du boîtier. We see in Figure 1 that there is play between the housing 8 and the flywheel 1, so that the flywheel can rotate freely inside the housing.

Dans l'exemple représente-,qui est un mode de réalisation préférentiel, le boîtier peut tourner librement autour de l'axe x xl, de sorte que si l'on cherche à forcer le boîtier, iL n'offre aucune prise. In the example shown, which is a preferred embodiment, the housing can rotate freely around the x xl axis, so that if one seeks to force the housing, iL offers no grip.

En variante, le boîtier 8 pourrait être fixéepar exemple sur le fourreau fixe 3 qui enveloppe la colonne de direction. Alternatively, the housing 8 could be fixed, for example, to the fixed sleeve 3 which envelops the steering column.

Que le boîtier 8 soit fou ou fixe, il empêche que l'on puisse manoeuvrer le volant. Le boîtier 8 enveloppe également la face arrière du volant pour empêcher que l'on ne puisse manoeuvrer celui-ci au moyen des bras 6. Whether the housing 8 is crazy or fixed, it prevents the steering wheel from being able to be maneuvered. The box 8 also envelops the rear face of the steering wheel to prevent it being possible to maneuver the latter by means of the arms 6.

La figure 2 représente, en perspective, un mode de réalisation préférentiel d'un boîtier antivol 8 selon l'invention, vu de l'arrière. Ce boîtier comporte deux coquilles 8a et 8b, en forme de demi cercle,qui viennent s'assembler bout à bout pour former un boîtier circulaire. Le plan d'assemblage se trouve dans un plan diamétral. FIG. 2 represents, in perspective, a preferred embodiment of an anti-theft box 8 according to the invention, seen from the rear. This housing comprises two shells 8a and 8b, in the shape of a semicircle, which come together end to end to form a circular housing. The assembly plane is in a diametrical plane.

Chaque coquille comporte une face avant plane 10a, 10b semi circulaire, une face arrière conique lia, lib percée d'un orifice central 9a, 9b pour le passage du moyen ou de la colonne de direction et une face latérale cylindrique 12a, 12b qui relie entre elles les faces avant et arrière. Each shell has a flat front face 10a, 10b semi circular, a conical rear face 11a, lib pierced with a central orifice 9a, 9b for the passage of the means or of the steering column and a cylindrical lateral face 12a, 12b which connects between them the front and rear faces.

Les deux coquilles 8a et 8b sont reliées entre elles par une charnière 13, de telle sorte qu'il est possible d'ouvrir le boîtier, conne le représente la figure 2, pour l'engager sur le volant. Une fois le boîtier refermé sur'le volant, les deux coquilles sont verrouillées l'une avec l'autre par une serrure de tout type connu. The two shells 8a and 8b are connected together by a hinge 13, so that it is possible to open the housing, as shown in FIG. 2, to engage it on the steering wheel. Once the housing is closed on the steering wheel, the two shells are locked with each other by a lock of any known type.

Les figures 3 à 6 représentent un mode de réalisation d'une serrure. Figures 3 to 6 show an embodiment of a lock.

Afin d'éviter que l'on puisse forcer l'antivol en engageant une pince dans la fente qui sépare les deux coquilles, un plat métallique 14a est soudé le long du bord diamétral de la face 10a et de la face latérale 12a, à l'extérieur de celles-ci. Le plat 14a déborde au-dessous du bord inférieur de la face Iota.  In order to avoid that the anti-theft device can be forced by engaging a clamp in the slot which separates the two shells, a metal plate 14a is welded along the diametrical edge of the face 10a and of the lateral face 12a, at the outside of them. The plate 14a overflows below the lower edge of the Iota face.

De même un plat métallique 14b est soudé sur une baguette 15, elle même soudée légèrement au-dessous du bord diamétral des faces 10b et 12b, de telle sorte que le plat 14b délimite avec le bord supérieur des faces 10b et 12b un espace 16 dans lequel s'engage le plat l4a lorsque le boîtier est fermé. Similarly, a metal dish 14b is welded to a rod 15, itself welded slightly below the diametrical edge of the faces 10b and 12b, so that the dish 14b defines with the upper edge of the faces 10b and 12b a space 16 in which engages the dish 14a when the case is closed.

La figure 3 représente une vue de face de la coquille supérieure 8a. On voit sur cette figure la face avant plane 1Qa, semi circulaire dont le bord inférieur est prolongé par un plat métallique 14a. Figure 3 shows a front view of the upper shell 8a. We see in this figure the flat front face 1Qa, semi circular whose lower edge is extended by a metal plate 14a.

La figure 4 représente une vue de face de la coquille inférieure 8b. On voit sur cette figure la face avant semi circulaire 10b et le plat 14b qui est soudé sur la baguette 15 et qui délimite le logement 16. Figure 4 shows a front view of the lower shell 8b. This figure shows the semi-circular front face 10b and the plate 14b which is welded to the strip 15 and which delimits the housing 16.

On voit également sur les figures 3 et 4 les deux moitiés 13a et 13b de la charnière d'articulation. We also see in Figures 3 and 4 the two halves 13a and 13b of the hinge.

On a représenté sur les figures 3 et 4 un mode de réalisation d'une serrure de verrouillage. Celle-ci est composée d'une gâche 17 qui est fixée sur la face interne de la face 10b et d'un pêne 18, qui est placé contre la face interne de la face 10a. There is shown in Figures 3 and 4 an embodiment of a locking lock. This consists of a keeper 17 which is fixed on the internal face of the face 10b and a bolt 18, which is placed against the internal face of the face 10a.

Le pêne 18 comporte une crémaillère 19 qui coopère avec une couronne dentée 20 montée sur le barillet tournant 21 d'une serrure de sécurité.The bolt 18 comprises a rack 19 which cooperates with a ring gear 20 mounted on the rotating barrel 21 of a security lock.

En manoeuvrant la clef de la serrure, on fait tourner le barillet et on engage le pêne 18 dans la gâche 17, d'où un verrouillage des deux moitiés du boîtier entre elles. By operating the key to the lock, the barrel is rotated and the bolt 18 is engaged in the keeper 17, whereby the two halves of the housing are locked together.

Pour renforcer le verrouillage, on peut utiliser deux gâches et deux pênes à crémaillère qui sont manoeuvrés dans des directions opposées par la roue dentée 20. Bien entendu, on peut remplacer le système de verrouillage qui vient d'être décrit à titre d'exemple par n'importe quel autre serrure équivalente. To reinforce the locking, it is possible to use two strikes and two rack bolts which are operated in opposite directions by the toothed wheel 20. Of course, the locking system which has just been described by way of example can be replaced by any other equivalent lock.

On voit que le bottier antivol selon l'invention permet de placer la serrure à l'intérieur du bottier. We see that the anti-theft boot according to the invention allows to place the lock inside the boot.

Les figures 5 et 6 représentent des coupes axiales des coquilles 8a et 8b. On volt sur ces coupes les faces avant planes 10a, lOb, les faces arrière tronconiques lia, llb percées d'une ouverture axiale 9a, 9bF les faces latérales cylindriques 12a, 12b Les pLats de renforcement 14at i4b la gâche de serrure 17, le pêne tg et le barillet tournant 22 de la serrure sur lequel est montée la roue dentée 20. Figures 5 and 6 show axial sections of the shells 8a and 8b. On these sections, the flat front faces 10a, 10b, the frustoconical rear faces 11a, 11b pierced with an axial opening 9a, 9bF the cylindrical lateral faces 12a, 12b are reinforced. tg and the rotating barrel 22 of the lock on which the gear 20 is mounted.

Bien entendu, sans sortir du cadre de l'invention, les divers éléments qui composent le boîtier antivol qui vient d'être décrit à titre d'exemple, pourront être remplacés par des éléments équivalents remplissant les mêmes fonctions.  Of course, without departing from the scope of the invention, the various elements which make up the anti-theft unit which has just been described by way of example, may be replaced by equivalent elements fulfilling the same functions.
