Abstract

Device for preventing the theft of vehicles, such as automobiles, motorbikes, lorries, trailers, caravans and the like, characterised in that it essentially consists of a lockable frame in which one of the numberplates of the vehicle is enclosed, so that in normal operation the said plate is in place in accordance with the legislation in force, whereas during periods when the vehicle is not in service and risks being stolen, in the place of the said plate, there appears a distinctive sign which is clearly visible, signalling both the absence of the plate and, if necessary, the irregular situation of the vehicle.

Description

La présente invention concerne un dispositif dont le but est de prévenir les vols de véhicules, tels que camions, motos, voitures, etc... par des moyens permettant d'attirer l'attention sur tout véhicule volé. The present invention relates to a device the purpose of which is to prevent theft of vehicles, such as trucks, motorcycles, cars, etc. by means making it possible to draw attention to any stolen vehicle.

Ce dispositif consiste essentiellement en un encadrement verrouillable dans lequel est enfermé une des plaques d1 immatriculation du véhicule, de telle manière qu T en service normal ladite plaque est en place conformément aux reglementations en vigueur, tandis que pendant les périodes où le véhicule n est pas en service et risque d'être volé, à ltemplacement de ladite plaque apparait un signe distinctif nettement visible, signalant à la fois l'absence de la plaque et, le cas échéant, la situation irréguliere du véhicule. This device essentially consists of a lockable frame in which one of the vehicle registration plates is enclosed, in such a way that in normal service said plate is in place in accordance with the regulations in force, while during the periods when the vehicle is not in service and risk of being stolen, at the location of said plate appears a clearly visible distinctive sign, signaling both the absence of the plate and, where appropriate, the irregular situation of the vehicle.

Le plus simple de tels signes distinctifs est un panneau de peinture réfléchissante ou fluorescente. The simplest of such distinctive signs is a panel of reflective or fluorescent paint.

Dans la pratique le dispositif selon l'invention se compose d'un tel panneau, de dimensions correspondant à celles de la plaque, et recouvert par exemple de peinture réfléchissante, à ce panneau étant articulé le long d'un côté un cadre présentant une fenêtre permettant la lecture de la plaque quand celle-ci est enfermée entre ce panneau et ce cadre, des moyens de verrouillage, tels qu'une serrure à combinaison, servant à immobiliser ledit cadre contre ledit panneau en y emprisonnant ladite plaque. In practice, the device according to the invention consists of such a panel, of dimensions corresponding to those of the plate, and covered for example with reflective paint, with this panel being articulated along one side a frame having a window. allowing the reading of the plate when the latter is enclosed between this panel and this frame, locking means, such as a combination lock, serving to immobilize said frame against said panel by imprisoning said plate therein.

On va décrire plus en détail le dispositif selon l'invention, en se référant au dessin annexé sur lequel
- la figure 1 représente le dispositif selon l'invention à l'état ouvert,
- la figure 2 représente le même dispositif à l'étant fermé et contenant une plaque d'immatriculation, et
- la figure 3 est une coupe suivant III-III de la figure 2.
The device according to the invention will be described in more detail, with reference to the attached drawing in which
FIG. 1 represents the device according to the invention in the open state,
FIG. 2 represents the same device, being closed and containing a license plate, and
- Figure 3 is a section along III-III of Figure 2.

Sur ce dessin, on a désigné par 1 un panneau fixé par exemple sur le coffre arriere d'un véhicule V, à l'emplacement ràglementaire de la plaque d'immatriculation. La face visible de ce panneau est recouverte de peinture réfléchissante. In this drawing, a panel 1 has been designated, for example, on the rear trunk of a vehicle V, at the regulatory location of the license plate. The visible side of this panel is covered with reflective paint.

Le long du bord supérieur 2 du panneau 1 est articulé par des charnières 2', un cadre 3, comportant une fenêtre 4, ayant les dimensions d'une plaque d'immatriculation 5. Ce cadre 3 peut être verrouillé sur le panneau 1 par des systèmes à combinaison désignés par 6. Une fois verrouilé, le dispositif emprisonne la plaque 5. Des ampoules 7 éclairent la plaque 5 quand celle-ci est en place, et appuie sur un interrupteur 8 placé derrière elle. Along the upper edge 2 of the panel 1 is articulated by hinges 2 ′, a frame 3, comprising a window 4, having the dimensions of a license plate 5. This frame 3 can be locked on the panel 1 by combination systems designated by 6. Once locked, the device traps the plate 5. Bulbs 7 light the plate 5 when it is in place, and presses a switch 8 placed behind it.

L'utilisation du dispositif est la suivante
En service normal, la plaque 5 est logée et emprisonnée dans le dispositif, et est visible de l'extérieur conformément aux règlements (Figures 2 et 3), étant éclairée par les ampoules 7.
The use of the device is as follows
In normal service, the plate 5 is housed and trapped in the device, and is visible from the outside in accordance with the regulations (Figures 2 and 3), being illuminated by the bulbs 7.

Quand le propriétaire du véhicule doit le laisser en stationnement, notamment la nuit, il déverrouille les systèmes 6, ouvre le cadre 3, et retire la plaque 5, qu'il peut emmener en sûreté. Le cadre 3 étant refermé, par la fenêtre 4 apparaît cette fois le panneau 1, non éclairé, au lieu de la plaque 5 éclairée. Bien que cela apparaisse suffisant pour interpeller tout autre conducteur du véhicule, la présence d'une peinture réfléchissante, par exemple rose vif, attirera encore davantage l'attention, et ce risque sera de nature à dissuader efficacement les possibles vols de ce véhicule. When the owner of the vehicle must leave it parked, especially at night, he unlocks the systems 6, opens the frame 3, and removes the plate 5, which he can take safely. The frame 3 being closed, by the window 4 this time appears the panel 1, not lit, instead of the lit plate 5. Although this appears sufficient to challenge any other driver of the vehicle, the presence of a reflective paint, for example bright pink, will attract even more attention, and this risk will be likely to effectively deter possible thefts of this vehicle.

D'autres aménagements viseront à augmenter la spécificité de la plaque 5 par rapport au support. Ainsi par exemple, le panneau 1 pourra porter un certain nombre de goujons 9 qui viendront traverser des lumières 10 de la plaque 5, le nombre et la disposition de ces goujons seront propres à chaque plaque, ce qui interdira de remplacer une plaque volée par une autre plaque de maquillage. Bien évidemment ces goujons et lumières devront être situés derriere le rebord du cadre 3 définissant la fenêtre 4. Other arrangements will aim to increase the specificity of the plate 5 relative to the support. Thus for example, the panel 1 may carry a certain number of studs 9 which will come through the lights 10 of the plate 5, the number and the arrangement of these studs will be specific to each plate, which will prohibit replacing a stolen plate with a another makeup plate. Obviously these studs and lights must be located behind the edge of the frame 3 defining the window 4.

De même les chiffres et les lettres 10 portés par la plaque 5 pourront correspondre, au verso de celle-ci, à des creux dans lesquels viendront s'insérer les mêmes chiffres et lettres 12, prévus en relief sur le panneau 1. Similarly, the numbers and letters 10 carried by the plate 5 may correspond, on the back thereof, to recesses into which the same numbers and letters 12 will be inserted, provided in relief on the panel 1.

D'autres moyens encore rendant impérative la présence de la plaque 5 correspondant au panneau 1 et interdisant son remplacement par tout maquillage pourront être utilisés, la sécurité apportée par l'invention étant donc de deux natures
1) L'absence de la plaque provoquera l'apparition de moyens distinctifs attirant immédiatement l'attention, à savoir le non-eclairage du panneau et son caractère réfléchissant d'une couleur vive.
Still other means making the presence of the plate 5 corresponding to the panel 1 imperative and prohibiting its replacement by any make-up may be used, the security provided by the invention therefore being of two types
1) The absence of the plate will cause the appearance of distinctive means immediately attracting attention, namely the non-lighting of the panel and its reflective character of a bright color.

2) La présence d'une fausse plaque est rendue pratiquement impossible dans la mesure où elle ne pourra s'adapter aux divers moyens de correspondance impérative entre le panneau de fond et la plaque appropriée. 2) The presence of a false plate is made practically impossible insofar as it cannot adapt to the various means of imperative correspondence between the bottom panel and the appropriate plate.

Bien entendu la serrure 6 représente un troisième moyen pour dissuader les voleurs potentiels de véhicules. Of course lock 6 represents a third means of deterring potential vehicle thieves.

Enfin, pour permettre au propriétaire de conserver la plaque 5 sans être encombré, cette plaque peut être rendue pliante, par exemple par une charnière 13. Finally, to allow the owner to keep the plate 5 without being cluttered, this plate can be made folding, for example by a hinge 13.

L'invention se révèlera utile pour tous les véhicules, mais plus spécialement pour les motos, qui sont plus facilement maquillées que les voitures. Elle s'appliquera aussi aux remorques des transporteurs routiers, et les caravanes de camping.  The invention will prove useful for all vehicles, but more especially for motorcycles, which are more easily made up than cars. It will also apply to trailers of road carriers, and camping caravans.
