Abstract

The present appliance, a simplified variant of the apparatus described in the invention no. 8208921, also has the objective of protecting motor vehicles from theft by blocking their pedals in the depressed position and their steering wheel (preferably in the full lock position). This appliance joining pedals and steering wheel consists of two interlockable parts 7 and 8 and of a small component sliding in the part 8. The foot of the element 7 fits snugly over the pedals and the top of the element 8 fits round the rim of the steering wheel. The sliding component 3' then, in the top position, traps the rim of the steering wheel, then it is locked by a padlock placed in one or other of its holes. The padlock is protected by the plates which surround it, and the shaft is internally reinforced by a sheathed steel cable.

Description

Le système présenté ici est une variante de l'invention déposée sous le nuiuéro 8208921, concernant un dispositif interne antivol de véhicules automobiles. Il comprend deux parties constituant un arbre destiné à relier les pédales et le volant de direction. A la partie inférieure (i) est intégrée la plaque de base (cf fig.1),éventuellement simplifiée, et à la partie supérieure se trouve fixée à demeure la plaque de volant modèle à double paroi (cf fig.4). The system presented here is a variant of the invention filed under number 8208921, relating to an internal anti-theft device for motor vehicles. It comprises two parts constituting a shaft intended to connect the pedals and the steering wheel. At the lower part (i) is integrated the base plate (see fig. 1), possibly simplified, and at the upper part is permanently fixed the model flywheel plate with double wall (see fig. 4).

L'élément inférieur (i),fige7,possède à une extrémité un manchon dans lequel s'emboîte 1'élément supérieur (s), et à l'autre extrémité une plaque qui est sensiblement la même que celle de la figure (1)revendication 2; sur la face avant de cette plaque,les encoches (e)servant à l'encastrement sur les leviers des pédales sont plus étroites au fond qutà ltentrée, ce rétrécissement étant obtenu par une légère convergence des bords extérieurs (b1 et b2) de ces encoches. Cette disposition procure une bonne prise de la plaque sur les pédales
L'autre face (face arrière) a ses bords repliés vers le bas, pour encadrer les pédales.En pratique, dans la plupart des cas,cette disposition n'est pas nécessaire car la forte inclinaison des leviers et les semelles des pédales empêchent le déplacement du:pied de l'arbre vers l'avant ou vers l'arrière; la plaque formant le pied de l'élément inférieur peut alors se réduire à la face avant de la plaque de base: c'est ainsi qutelle est représentée dans la figure 7.The lower element (i), fig. 7, has at one end a sleeve into which the upper element (s) fits, and at the other end a plate which is substantially the same as that of FIG. (1) claim 2; on the front face of this plate, the notches (e) used for embedding on the pedal levers are narrower at the bottom than at the input, this narrowing being obtained by a slight convergence of the outer edges (b1 and b2) of these notches . This arrangement provides a good grip of the plate on the pedals
The other side (rear side) has its edges folded down, to frame the pedals. In practice, in most cases, this arrangement is not necessary because the steep inclination of the levers and the soles of the pedals prevent displacement of the: foot of the tree forwards or backwards; the plate forming the base of the lower element can then be reduced to the front face of the base plate: this is how it is represented in FIG. 7.

L'élément supérieur (s) est de même section que le corps de l'autre élément; il peut s'emboîter dans le manchon (m) par une extrémité et son autre bout possède la plaque de vo lant,modèle à double paroi (figO4,revendication 3),ainsi que la tete coulissante (fig.3); une collerette (c) placée légèrement en dessous de la plaque sert à protéger le cadenas de verrouillage contre les tentatives de cisaillage
Pour rendre plus difficile la coupe de l'arbre de liaison lui même, ses éléments sont armes intérieurement d'un câble d'acier multibrins enrobé d1une gaine en matière or gazai que
Une augmentation de la longueur totale de l'ensemble peut s'obtenir par insertion d'une entretoise (io-.9) dans le manchon (m) avant d'emboiter l'élément supérieur (fig.8). The upper element (s) is of the same section as the body of the other element; it can fit into the sleeve (m) at one end and its other end has the fly plate, double wall model (figO4, claim 3), as well as the sliding head (fig.3); a collar (c) placed slightly below the plate serves to protect the locking padlock against shearing attempts
To make it more difficult to cut the connecting shaft itself, its elements are internally armed with a multi-strand steel cable coated with a sheath of golden gold material that
An increase in the total length of the assembly can be obtained by inserting a spacer (io-.9) in the sleeve (m) before fitting the upper element (fig. 8).

La tête coulissante (fig.3') est percée de deux trous pour passage du cadenas de sorte que celui-ci peut se poser au grè de ltutilisateur,soit sous la paroi inférieure de la plaque de volant,soit entre les deux parois due cette plaque. The sliding head (fig. 3 ') is pierced with two holes for the passage of the padlock so that it can be placed at the option of the user, either under the bottom wall of the steering wheel plate, or between the two walls due to this plate.

- trJISE EN PLACE On encastre le pied de l'élément inférieur sur les leviers des pédales; on emboîte l'élément supérieur dans le manchon de l'élément inférieur; on pousse ltensemble vers l'avant pour que la jante du volant se loge dans la double plaque; on soulève la tête coulissante pour quelle passe au travers de la paroi inférieure; enfin on verrouille en plaçant le cadenas dans les trous prévus à cet effet,soit entre collerette et paroi inférieure de la plaque de volant,soit.à l'intérieur de la plaque,entre ses deux parois .
N.B. Il est recorainandé de tourner le volant pour braquer les roues avant de placer l'appareil . - TRJISE IN PLACE The foot of the lower element is fitted on the pedal levers; the upper element is fitted into the sleeve of the lower element; the assembly is pushed forward so that the rim of the steering wheel is housed in the double plate; the sliding head is raised for which pass through the lower wall; Finally, it is locked by placing the padlock in the holes provided for this purpose, either between the flange and the lower wall of the steering wheel plate, or inside the plate, between its two walls.
NB It is recommended to turn the steering wheel to turn the wheels before placing the device.
