Abstract

The invention relates to a device for protecting vehicles against theft by making driving impossible for all those vehicles which are equipped therewith. It consists of two hollow cylindrical pieces, A at the base of the steering wheel and B fixed to the steering column. The piece A which, in turn, is fixed to the inside of B, receives in its hollow portion a safety lock 9 and a locking mechanism driven by the latter. This mechanism, consisting of a cam 5 pierced with two slots and two lock bolts 7, couples A and B when the lock bolts 7 penetrate the catches 19 cut into B, therefore rotation of the steering wheel drives the steering column. Conversely, when the lock bolts 7 are withdrawn from the catches 19, the column is not driven, the steering wheel being free to rotate.

Description

La présente invention concerne les dispositifs antivol ayant un effet sur le mécanisme de direction d'un véhicule et la commande de celle-ci. Elle s'applique de telle façon que par une seule action de la clé d'une serrure de sureté en position antivol, le volant est désolidarisé de la colonne de direction qui le supporte et ainsi le volant libre en rotation le véhicule est privé de moyen de.conduite. The present invention relates to anti-theft devices having an effect on the steering mechanism of a vehicle and the control thereof. It is applied in such a way that by a single action of the key of a security lock in the anti-theft position, the steering wheel is detached from the steering column which supports it and thus the steering wheel free to rotate the vehicle is deprived of means driving.

Ce dispositif apporte de nombreux avantages dont celui, par rapport aux antivols qui utilisent le bloquage de la colonne de direction, d'éviter la détérioration de celle-ci. L'accès aux fils et le rétablissement du circuit électrique annule l'effet antivol d'un système de débrayage électromagnétique, commandé par la clé de contact ou le simple démontage du volant n'est pas toujours possible ou souhaitable suivant les lieux où l'on se trouve. This device brings many advantages including that, compared to anti-theft devices which use the locking of the steering column, of avoiding deterioration of the latter. Access to the wires and the re-establishment of the electrical circuit cancels the anti-theft effect of an electromagnetic declutching system, controlled by the ignition key or the simple disassembly of the steering wheel is not always possible or desirable depending on where the We are.

Pour faciliter la comprehension trois figures suivent le texte faisant apparaitre les avantages et caractéristiques essentielles de ce dispositif antivol. To facilitate understanding, three figures follow the text showing the essential advantages and characteristics of this anti-theft device.

Fig-l vue en coupe de tout ledispositif :Pig-2 détail vu de dessus du mécanisme de vérrouillage : Fig-3 vue éclatée de l'ensemble schématisé en perspective où eparaissent les principaux élèments
L'invention se compose selon la figure de deux piéces cylindriques A et B dont la première A percée de part en part et servant de base au volant est fixée à l'intérieur de la piéce cylindrique B par une vis (3) dans le même axe que la colonne de direction, un oontre écrou (4) évite le désserement de cette vis (3), de cette façon À peut tourner librement à l'intérieur du cylindre B.
Fig-l sectional view of any device: Pig-2 detail seen from above of the locking mechanism: Fig-3 exploded view of the whole diagrammatic perspective where the main elements appear
The invention is composed according to the figure of two cylindrical parts A and B, the first A pierced through and serving as a base for the flywheel is fixed inside the cylindrical part B by a screw (3) in the same axis that the steering column, a nut (4) avoids the loosening of this screw (3), in this way A can rotate freely inside the cylinder B.

Un mécanisme comprenant; - une came (5) de forme ovale et plate percée de deux lumières(63 parallèles au bord et de deux trous (11) ; - deux pènes (7) opposés possédant un téton (8) qui se loge dans la lumière (6) sont actionnés par une serrure de sureté (9). Le mouvement est transmis de la serrure (9) à la came (5) par la piéce de forme cylindrique (10) présentant également deux tétons (22) d'entrainement.gui se logent eux dans les trous (11) de la came (5). A mechanism comprising; - a cam (5) of oval and flat shape pierced by two slots (63 parallel to the edge and two holes (11); - two opposite bolts (7) having a stud (8) which is housed in the slot (6) are actuated by a safety lock (9). The movement is transmitted from the lock (9) to the cam (5) by the cylindrical piece (10) also having two drive pins (22). them in the holes (11) of the cam (5).

Lorsqu'on actionne la clé de la serrure (9) d'une fraction de tour la came (5), de ce fait entrainée de même distance, pousse les pènes (7) dans les gâches (19) respectives taillées dans le cylindre B. Ainsi est réalisé l'accouplementdes cylindres A et B. A ce moment là une rotation du volant a un effet identique sur la colonne de direction.  When the key of the lock (9) is actuated by a fraction of a turn, the cam (5), therefore driven by the same distance, pushes the bolts (7) in the respective keepers (19) cut in the cylinder B This is how the cylinders A and B are coupled. At this time, a rotation of the steering wheel has an identical effect on the steering column.

Pour que chaque pène (7) soit aligné avec sa gâche quand on veut vérrouiller les deux cylindres A et B, une bille (12) associée à un ressort dans l'épaisseur du cylindre B viennent prendre place dans une alvéole sur le cylindre A et marquer le bon positionnement de A par rapport à B. So that each bolt (7) is aligned with its keeper when we want to lock the two cylinders A and B, a ball (12) associated with a spring in the thickness of the cylinder B come to take place in a cell on the cylinder A and mark the correct positioning of A in relation to B.

La serrure (9) située dans son logement avec la flasque (13) ronde et percée sont placées à l'extrémité supérieure de A et interdisent tout accès au mécanisme de vérrouillage-. The lock (9) located in its housing with the round and pierced flange (13) are placed at the upper end of A and prevent any access to the locking mechanism.


ère
La serrure (9) comporte trois positions. La ibère est position antivol, les deux cylindres A et B sont désolidarisés, le volant est libre en rotation. La 2ème est position vérrouillage, les deux cylindres sont accouplés, le volant entraine la colonne de direction. Dans
ème ces deux positions on retire la clé de la serrure. La 3ème position permet de sortir la serrure(9) de son logement pour la changer ou avoir accès au mécanisme de vérrouillage ou le démontage du dispositif antivol.

time
The lock (9) has three positions. The Iberian is anti-theft position, the two cylinders A and B are separated, the steering wheel is free to rotate. The second is locking position, the two cylinders are coupled, the steering wheel drives the steering column. In
th these two positions the key is removed from the lock. The 3rd position allows you to remove the lock (9) from its housing to change it or have access to the locking mechanism or disassembly of the anti-theft device.

1a serrure(9) se compose d'une enveloppe (23) extérieure au travers de laquellé deux bille (14) peuvent sortir, le canon intérieur( (16) comporte deux bossages (15) sur une partie de sa circonférence, terminés chacun et à un seul bout par une alvéole. Aux deux premières positions de la serrure les bossages (ils) sont en face des billes (14) et poussent celle-ci vers l'extérieur de ltenveloppe (23), qui, elles prennent place dans d'autres alvéoles mais cette fois usinées dans le cylindre A. A ce moment là il est impossible de faire sortir de son logement la serrure (9), elle est bloquée par les billes (14). La clé ème tournée sur la 3ème position les alvéoles du canon (16) apparaissent en face des billes (14) qui peuvent revenir dans la serrure.On peut retirer la serrure. 1a lock (9) consists of an outer casing (23) through which two ball (14) can come out, the inner barrel ((16) has two bosses (15) on a part of its circumference, each terminated and at one end only by a cell. In the first two positions of the lock, the bosses (they) are opposite the balls (14) and push the latter towards the outside of the envelope (23), which take their place in 'other cells but this time machined in cylinder A. At this time it is impossible to remove from its housing the lock (9), it is blocked by the balls (14). The key turned to the 3rd position barrel cells (16) appear opposite the balls (14) which can return to the lock. The lock can be removed.

Un voyant sur le tableau de bord commandé par un interrupteur électrique (21) indique si le vérrouillage est effectué correctement ou pas. Cet interrupteur (21) sous forme de lamelle ressort est placé dans une des deux gâches (19) sur une petite platine en matière isolante. Un perçage dans le cylindre B laisse passer le fil électrique qui relie l'interrupteur (21) au voyant et par le voyant au + de la batterie. Lorsque le pène (7) correspondant du mécanisme de vérrouillage rentre dans la gtche (19) il vient toucher la lamelle ressort et établir le bouclage du circuit par une mise à la masse et retour au de la batterie, le voyant s'allume le vérrouillage du dispositif antivol est réalisé. An indicator light on the dashboard controlled by an electric switch (21) indicates whether the locking is carried out correctly or not. This switch (21) in the form of a spring strip is placed in one of the two strikes (19) on a small plate of insulating material. A hole in cylinder B lets pass the electric wire which connects the switch (21) to the indicator and through the indicator to the + of the battery. When the bolt (7) corresponding to the locking mechanism enters the lug (19) it comes to touch the spring strip and establish the looping of the circuit by earthing and return to the battery, the indicator light turns on the locking of the anti-theft device is produced.

Enfin la piéce cylindrique (17) qui supporte le dispositif antivol décris ci-dessus est assemblée par les moyens appropriés sur la colonne de direction correspondante. Le cylindre B est fixé à la piéce cylindrique (17) par des vis à tête auto-cassante pour éviter, par des techniques simples et un outillage rudimentaire de pouvoir démonter le volant avec le dispositif antivol.  Finally the cylindrical part (17) which supports the anti-theft device described above is assembled by the appropriate means on the corresponding steering column. The cylinder B is fixed to the cylindrical part (17) by self-breaking head screws to avoid, by simple techniques and rudimentary tools, being able to dismantle the steering wheel with the anti-theft device.
