Abstract

One half (2) of the steering wheel cover is movable and has two rod housings (12,13) inside it while the other half cover (1) has two rods (7,8) fixed inside it that have articulations (10,11) at the cover edge. After the cover pieces are drawn apart, the movable one is bent upwards to allow cover fitting to the wheel. Both cover halves have an inferior oblique wall and inferior semi-circular half orifices for the steering column. The mobile half contains two slide guides (12,13) for the rods, which have travel end stops (14,15), and an axial lock (18).

Description

L'objet de l'invention concerne un dispositif antivol s'adaptant aux véhicules munis d'un volant de direction. The object of the invention relates to an anti-theft device adapting to vehicles fitted with a steering wheel.

I1 est destiné à s'opposer à l'usager des véhicules de toutes sortes afin d ' en interdire la conduite. I1 is intended to oppose the user of vehicles of all kinds in order to prohibit driving.

I1 est connu d'utiliser à cet effet, des carters circulaires ouvrables constitués par deux parties articulées l'une à l'autre et pouvant être verrouillées . Ce carter restant fou par rapport au volant empêche la manoeuvre de ce dernier. L'expérience a démontré que l'ouverture de ces carters par articulation périphérique provoquait un jeu dans les parties jointives et une usure prématurée de l'articulation, il fallait en outre placer des paliers de rattrapage de jeu pour assurer l'équilibrage du verrouillage des parties jointives périphériques. De plus, l'ouver- ture des secteurs provoquait un encombrement important des surfaces développées pour permettre sa mise en place sur le volant. I1 is known to use for this purpose, circular opening casings consisting of two parts hinged to each other and can be locked. This crankcase, which remains crazy relative to the steering wheel, prevents the latter from being operated. Experience has shown that the opening of these casings by peripheral articulation causes play in the contiguous parts and premature wear of the articulation, it was also necessary to place backlash bearings to ensure the balancing of the locking of the peripheral contiguous parts. In addition, the opening of the sectors caused a significant bulk of the developed surfaces to allow its installation on the steering wheel.

Le dispositif suivant 1' invention supprime ces inconvénients et permet de diminuer 1' encombrement des parties séparées et développées pour l'introduction du volant et d'assurer un équilibrage parfait des surfaces articulées pour la précision des verrouillages. The device according to the invention eliminates these drawbacks and makes it possible to reduce the size of the separate and developed parts for the introduction of the steering wheel and to ensure perfect balancing of the articulated surfaces for the precision of the locks.

I1 est constitué par la combinaison, d'une part d'éléments coulissants assurant la structuration et l'écartement horizontal des surfaces semi-circulaires constituant le carter, et d'autre part avec 1 ' articulation de ces montures guidées qui permettent le rélèvement en fin de course de la partie séparée. I1 is constituted by the combination, on the one hand of sliding elements ensuring the structuring and the horizontal spacing of the semicircular surfaces constituting the casing, and on the other hand with the articulation of these guided mounts which allow the lifting in limit switch of the separate part.

Sur les dessins annexés, donnés à titre d'exemple non limitatif, d'une des formes de réalisation de l'objet de 1 ' invention
La figure 1 représente vu en plan le dispositif dans son ensemble.
In the accompanying drawings, given by way of non-limiting example, of one of the embodiments of the subject of the invention
Figure 1 shows in plan view the device as a whole.

Les figures 2 et 3 montrent vu en élévation les carters dans leurs positions fermées et ouvertes. Figures 2 and 3 show in elevation the housings in their closed and open positions.

Les figures 4 et 5 sont des vues en plan et de profil de 1' application du carter antivol sur les volants de véhicule.  Figures 4 and 5 are plan and side views of one application of the anti-theft housing on the steering wheels of the vehicle.

Le dispositif antivol est constitué figures 1, 2, 3 par un carter circulaire fermé par deux secteurs semicirculaires jointifs 1 et 2. The anti-theft device is made up of figures 1, 2, 3 by a circular casing closed by two adjoining semicircular sectors 1 and 2.

Les parements inférieurs sont de section tronconique 3, 4 avec échancrure inférieure 5, 5' pour le passage du tube de direction et de son embase 6 (Fig 5) ou moyeu du volant. The lower facings are of frustoconical section 3, 4 with lower notch 5, 5 'for the passage of the steering tube and its base 6 (Fig 5) or hub of the steering wheel.

Sous le parement inférieur de la partie fixe 1 sont fixées les tiges 7, 8 et la serrure 9. ces tiges constituées préférentiellement par des ferrures carrées sont porteuses d'une articulation 10, 11 et se prolongent par les secteurs 12, 13 avec butées 14, 15 coulissant dans les guides 16, 17. L'élément de verrouillage 18 est fixé sur le parement inférieur du secteur semicirculaire 2, afin de réaliser la tige de verrouillage par le pene de la serrure 9, ceci en position rapprochée. Under the lower facing of the fixed part 1 are fixed the rods 7, 8 and the lock 9. These rods preferably constituted by square fittings carry a hinge 10, 11 and are extended by the sectors 12, 13 with stops 14 , 15 sliding in the guides 16, 17. The locking element 18 is fixed to the lower facing of the semicircular sector 2, in order to produce the locking rod by the bolt of the lock 9, this in the close position.

Les parements supérieurs 1, 2 peuvent être Rreféren- tiellement pourvues d'une double cloison 19, 20 déterminant des capacités destinées à recevoir des objets de valeur, tels que portefeuilles, montres ou similaires qui seront ainsi protégés contre le vol. Ces espaces forment coffret de sécurité ou utilitaire pour'tel accessoire.Un cloisonnement interne 21, 22 protége les services et coulisses et tous éléments fonctionnels contre tous chocs ou toutes possibilités de forcement ou autre. Une garniture résistante de receouvrement 23 interdit 1' accés des aretes de fonction 24, 25 des secteurs 1, 2 et peut éventuellement servir d ' élé- ment décoratif. The upper facings 1, 2 may be referentially provided with a double partition 19, 20 determining capacities intended to receive valuables, such as wallets, watches or the like which will thus be protected against theft. These spaces form a safety or utility box for such an accessory. An internal partitioning 21, 22 protects the services and slides and all functional elements against any impact or any possibility of forcing or other. A resistant cover trim 23 prevents access to the functional edges 24, 25 of sectors 1, 2 and can optionally serve as a decorative element.

Lorsqu'il s'agit d'envelopper le volant 26, figures 4, 5, il suffit d'écarter le secteur 2 par traction, flèche A, Fig 3.En fin de course, limité par les butées 14, 15 contactant les guides 16, 17, il suffit de relever la face 2, flèche B et de 1' introduire sur le volant. Après abaissement et coulissement flèches D et C, il suffit de verrouiller le carter par la serrure 9.Le verrouillage pouvant également être prévu sur les coulisses et autres. When it is a question of wrapping the steering wheel 26, FIGS. 4, 5, it suffices to move aside the sector 2 by traction, arrow A, FIG. 3. At the end of the race, limited by the stops 14, 15 contacting the guides 16, 17, it suffices to raise the face 2, arrow B and to insert it on the steering wheel. After lowering and sliding arrows D and C, it suffices to lock the casing by the lock 9. The locking can also be provided on the slides and the like.

Cette enveloppe restant folle sur le volant 26 prive le véhicule de conduite et empêche toute possibilité de vol.  This remaining insane envelope on the steering wheel 26 deprives the vehicle of driving and prevents any possibility of theft.

Toutefois les formes, dimensions et dispositions des différents éléments pourront varier dans la limite des équivalents comme d'ailleurs les matières utilisées pour leur fabrication, sans changer pour cela la conception générale de l'invention
qui vient d'être décrite.
However, the shapes, dimensions and arrangements of the various elements may vary within the limit of the equivalents, as indeed the materials used for their manufacture, without changing the general conception of the invention for this.
which has just been described.
