Description

La présente invention concerne un dispositif de sécurité antivol pour véhicules automobiles.The present invention relates to an anti-theft security device for motor vehicles.

Il existe actuellement des dispositifs antivol pour véhicules automobiles comprenant pour l'essentiel un moyen de blocage de l'axe du volant de direction, actionné par l'intermédiaire d'une clé coopérant avec serrure.There are currently anti-theft devices for motor vehicles essentially comprising a means for locking the axis of the steering wheel, actuated by means of a key cooperating with a lock.

Ces dispositifs présentent l'inconvénient d'être fragiles et sont relativement faciles à neutraliser, et ne mettent donc pas les véhicules suffisamment à l'abri des risques de vol.These devices have the disadvantage of being fragile and are relatively easy to neutralize, and therefore do not sufficiently protect vehicles from the risk of theft.

La présente invention se propose de remédier à ces inconvénients de fournir un dispositif antivol pour véhicules automobiles de construction simple mais efficace et dont la neutralisation soit particulièrement difficile.The present invention proposes to remedy these drawbacks of providing an anti-theft device for motor vehicles of simple but effective construction and the neutralization of which is particularly difficult.

Un autre objectif de l'invention est de fournir un tel dispositif qui puisse s'adapter sur les véhicules sans nécessiter une modification à la construction du véhicule ou une adaptation après la construction.Another object of the invention is to provide such a device which can be adapted to vehicles without requiring a modification to the construction of the vehicle or an adaptation after construction.

Un autre objectif encore est de fournir un dispositif dont l'emploi soit simple mais dont la mise en oeuvre ne soit pas facilement oubliée par inadvertance.Yet another objective is to provide a device whose use is simple but whose implementation is not easily forgotten inadvertently.

Un autre objectif encore de l'invention est de fournir un dispositif susceptible d'être vu de l'extérieur du vehicule, ce qui d'une part provoque un effet disuasif et d'autre part, au cas ou le dispositif se trouve neutralisé, avertit le public de la présence d'un conducteur non autorisé.Yet another objective of the invention is to provide a device capable of being seen from the outside of the vehicle, which on the one hand causes a deterrent effect and on the other hand, in the event that the device is neutralized, warns the public of the presence of an unauthorized driver.

L'invention a donc pour objet un dispositif antivol pour véhicules automobiles destiné à coopérer avec le volant de manoeuvre, caractérisé par le fait qu'il consiste en un boitier susceptible d'être refermé sur le volant grâce à des moyens de fermeture inviolables, ledit boitier venant en contact avec le volant.( )
Conformément à l'invention, le boitier présente une grande résistance à la déformation, de façon à empêcher la désolidarisation du boitier et du volant par pression ou déformation depuis l'extérieur.The invention therefore relates to an anti-theft device for motor vehicles intended to cooperate with the handwheel, characterized in that it consists of a casing capable of being closed on the steering wheel by means of tamper-evident closure means, said case coming into contact with the steering wheel. ()
According to the invention, the housing has a high resistance to deformation, so as to prevent the separation of the housing and the steering wheel by pressure or deformation from the outside.

Le boitier est de préférence réalise en une talle d'acier extrémement résistante aux outils de perçage et, le cas échéant, le boitier peut comporter à l'intérieur des éléments de raidissement rendant encore plus difficile sa déformation par pression ou écrasement, l'épaisseur du boitier étant de préférence nettement supérieure à l'épaisseur du volant.The case is preferably made of a steel tiller extremely resistant to drilling tools and, if necessary, the case can have stiffening elements inside making its deformation by pressure or crushing even more difficult, the thickness the case preferably being significantly greater than the thickness of the steering wheel.

Le boitier peut avantageusement être réalisé sous la forme de deux demi-boitiers étant de préférence articulés entre eux à l'une des extrémités pour résister à une tentative de séparation par un outil pénétrant dans l'interstice entre les deux demi-boitiers.The housing can advantageously be produced in the form of two half-housings being preferably hinged together at one of the ends to resist an attempt at separation by a tool penetrating into the gap between the two half-housings.

Dans une autre forme de réalisation cependant, le boitier peut aussi comporter un raidisseur central venant s'appliquer éventuellement par une butée.In another embodiment, however, the housing may also include a central stiffener possibly applied by a stop.

Le verrouillage des parties qui forment le boitier entre elles est de préférence obtenu à l'aide d'une serrure de sûreté à clef ou à combinaison.The locking of the parts which form the case between them is preferably obtained using a key or combination security lock.

De façon avantageuse, le dispositif selon l'invention peut encore comporter à son intérieur des moyens d'alarme fonctionnant en cas de forçage, alimentés par une source interne éventuellement rechargeable depuis 1 'allume-cigare. Advantageously, the device according to the invention may also include inside of it alarm means operating in the event of forcing, supplied by an internal source possibly rechargeable from one cigarette lighter.

Dans une forme de réalisation préférée, le boitier est peint d'une couleur très vive, par exemple en orange pour être facilement visible depuis l'extérieur.In a preferred embodiment, the case is painted in a very bright color, for example in orange to be easily visible from the outside.

D'autres avantages et caractéristiques de l'invention apparaltront à la lecture de la description suivante, fait à titre d'exemple non limitatif et se référant au dessin annexé dans lequel - La figure 1 est une vue shématique du dessus.Other advantages and characteristics of the invention will appear on reading the following description, given by way of nonlimiting example and referring to the appended drawing in which - Figure 1 is a schematic view from above.

- La figure 2 est une coupe axiale du dispositif selon l'invention.- Figure 2 is an axial section of the device according to the invention.

(6) Partie mobile - La figure 3 est une vue shématique d'un dispositif selon une variante de l'invention. (2) Partie articulée - La figure 4 est une vue du dessus de ce dispositif séparé du volant de direction, en position ouverte la partie supérieure est enlevée. (3) Mouvement de la fermeture - La figure 5 est une vue du dessus selon une autre forme de réalisation de l'invention.(6) Movable part - Figure 3 is a schematic view of a device according to a variant of the invention. (2) Articulated part - Figure 4 is a top view of this device separate from the steering wheel, in the open position the upper part is removed. (3) Movement of the closure - Figure 5 is a top view according to another embodiment of the invention.

- La figure 6 est une vue shématique du dispositif en position ouverte.- Figure 6 is a schematic view of the device in the open position.

(5) Serrure de sureté - La figure 7 est une vue du dessus selon une autre forme de réalisation de l'invention.(5) Security lock - Figure 7 is a top view according to another embodiment of the invention.

- La figure 8 est une vue du dessus en forme de pince selon une autre réalisation de l'invention.- Figure 8 is a top view in the form of a clamp according to another embodiment of the invention.

Comme on le voit sur les figures, l'épaisseur du boitier est nettement supérieure à l'épaisseur du volant.As can be seen in the figures, the thickness of the case is significantly greater than the thickness of the steering wheel.

Lorsque les deux demi-boitiers I sont fermés comme on le voit en trait plein sur la figure 1, ils peuvent être verouillés l'un à l'autre grâce à des moyens de verrouillage (non représentés) disposés à l'intérieur du boîtier.When the two half-housings I are closed as can be seen in solid lines in FIG. 1, they can be locked to each other by means of locking means (not shown) arranged inside the housing.

A l'intérieur de l'espace délimité par le raidisseur on peut avantageusement disposer, outre des moyens non représentés de verrouillage, un système d'alarme fonctionnant sur piles rechargeables dont la recharge est assurée par un cordon qui peut etre branché sur une prise du véhicule tel que l'allume cigare. Ce dispositif peut déclencher l'alarme sonore en cas de pression intempestive, par exemple, grâce à un système à contact qui peut également commander l'émission d'un fumigène contenu dans un réservoir convenable, situé dans le boîtier.Inside the space delimited by the stiffener, it is advantageously possible to have, in addition to the locking means (not shown), an alarm system operating on rechargeable batteries, the recharging of which is ensured by a cord which can be plugged into a socket on the vehicle such as a cigarette lighter. This device can trigger the audible alarm in the event of untimely pressure, for example, thanks to a contact system which can also control the emission of a smoke smoke contained in a suitable reservoir, located in the housing.

Le dispositif pourra comporter un système de verrouillage digital à com-' mande numérique.The device may include a digital locking system with digital control.

Cette invention consiste à entraver le volant de direction d'un véhicule et non pas la tige dedirection.This invention is to hinder the steering wheel of a vehicle and not the steering rod.

Cette entrave, en cas de mouvement de la direction, viendrait buter contre le corps du conducteur. This obstacle, in the event of movement of the direction, would abut against the body of the driver.

L'invention peut avoir plusieurs formes, soit la forme d'un boitier rectangulaire ou non, relié par une charnière, soit la forme d'une pince venant solidairement au volant, soit une charnière mobile ayant la même fonction, ou une entretoise a glissière venant enchasser le volant.The invention may have several forms, either the shape of a rectangular or non-rectangular case, connected by a hinge, or the shape of a clamp coming integrally to the steering wheel, or a movable hinge having the same function, or a slide spacer coming to encase the steering wheel.

Soit tout autre moyen capable d'entraver la direction de manière à ce que cette entrave empêche tout mouvement en butant contre le corps du conducteur. Or any other means capable of obstructing the direction so that this obstacle prevents any movement by abutting against the body of the driver.
