Abstract

The invention relates to a device allowing, by dissuasion, the theft of car radios to be made impossible. It comprises four flasks 1 arranged in a square on a chassis 2 fixed into the casing 3 at the level of the electric circuit. They contain acid or mercury. They are inclined at an angle of more or less 35 degrees with respect to the base of the casing. During transportation and mounting, they are hermetically plugged 4. A cord 5 connects them to the orifice 6 made in the facade of the casing 9, which cord extends beyond the facade of the casing so as to be able to be withdrawn once the car radio has been installed. In order to take the car radio, the thief will have to incline it by an angle which is much greater than that of the device which he will have to disengage from two hooks 7. The contents will flow out onto the circuit via a small duct 8 and will be destroyed. The dissuasion effect of the device according to the invention is obtained by drawing attention to its presence.

Description

La rrésente invention concerne un dispositif antivol pour autoradio permettant de dissuader l'éventuel voleur à le voler. The present invention relates to an anti-theft device for a car radio making it possible to dissuade any thief from stealing it.

Un nombre impressionnant d'autoradios sont volés chaque année, sans qu' aucun dispositif actuel n'est réussi d'en réduire l'importance. An impressive number of car radios are stolen each year, without any current device being successful in reducing their importance.

Des dispositifs connus, l'alarme sonore installée à bord d'un véhicule, n'a nas amélioré cette situation, à cause principalement, des nuisances sonores qu'elle provoque habituellement et quelques fois meme de manière intem- festive en raison de son manque de fiabilité, lui oyant tout effet de dissuasion. Known devices, the audible alarm installed on board a vehicle, have not improved this situation, mainly because of the noise pollution which it usually causes and sometimes even in an unintended manner due to its lack. of reliability, owing it any deterrent effect.

D'autres dispositifs consistent à loger l'autoradio dans un bottier amovible nermettant son retrait. Ces dispositifs, pour être efficaces en toutes circonstances, obligent l'utilisateur à se charger du poste queil veut pro téter du vol, chaque fois qu'il quitte sa voiture. Cette lourde contrainte deviendra vite insupportable et il y renoncera. Other devices consist of housing the car radio in a removable boot housing allowing it to be removed. These devices, to be effective in all circumstances, oblige the user to take charge of the position he wants to protect from theft, each time he leaves his car. This heavy constraint will quickly become unbearable and he will give it up.

Le dispositif selon l'invention permet d'éviter ces inconvénients en dissuadant le voleur de prendre le risque inutile de s'approprier frauduleusement un autoradio mis, par lui même en le démontant pour le prendre, définitivement hors d'usage, sans valeur. The device according to the invention makes it possible to avoid these drawbacks by dissuading the thief from taking the unnecessary risk of fraudulently appropriating a car radio put, by himself by dismantling it to take it, definitively out of order, worthless.

Mais cet effet de dissuasion ne sera obtenu que si le voleur est largement averti et informé, par la publicité et la marque distinctive gravée sur le poste et les vitres du véhicule, de l'existence du dispositif selon l'invention. However, this deterrent effect will only be obtained if the thief is widely warned and informed, by advertising and the distinctive mark engraved on the post and windows of the vehicle, of the existence of the device according to the invention.

il comporte en effet quatre petites fioles disposées en carré, à chaque coin d'un châssis qui les maintient fixées à la face interne du boîtier à hauteur des narties essentielles du circuit électrique de l'autoradio. it in fact comprises four small vials arranged in a square, at each corner of a frame which keeps them fixed to the internal face of the case at the height of the essential parts of the electrical circuit of the car radio.

Elles contiennent une petite quantité d'acide ou de mercure additionné de quelques gouttes d'huile légère destinée à protéger de l'cxidation de l'air lorsqu'elles seront ouvertes. They contain a small amount of acid or mercury with the addition of a few drops of light oil intended to protect from the oxidation of the air when they are opened.

Elles sont inclinées suivant un angle de plus ou moins 35 degrés par raprort à la hase du bottier, maintenant ainsi au fond d'elles leur contenu tant sue le poste installé dans la découpe prévue par le constructeur n'ait été incliné d'un anale supérieur, ce qui ne se produit jamais par l'usage normal du véhicule. They are inclined at an angle of plus or minus 35 degrees in relation to the shoal of the shoemaker, thus keeping their content at the bottom of them as much on the post installed in the cutout provided by the manufacturer has not been inclined by an anal higher, which never happens with normal vehicle use.

Pour oraliser, sans risque, le transport et le montage de l'autoradio, chaque fiole est hermétiquement bouchée d'un matériau approprié, adhésif, résistant à l'érosion du contenu et relié, comme les trois autres, à un cordon jusqu'à l'orifice ménagé sur la façade du bottier qu'il dépasse pour pouvoir être retiré une fois l'opération terminée et permettre ainsi l'éventuel écoulement du contenu. To ensure that the radio is transported and mounted safely, each flask is hermetically sealed with a suitable material, adhesive, resistant to erosion of the contents and connected, like the other three, to a cord up to the orifice provided on the front of the shoemaker that it exceeds to be able to be removed once the operation is completed and thus allow the possible flow of the content.

Pour rendre l'autoradio, le voleur sera nécessairement oblige de l'incliner d'un angle supérieur ç celui que peut tolérer le dispositif et d'autant plus ouvert au'il lui faudra, en plus, le dégager des crochets fixées, à cette fin, sur la face externe du bottier qui le retient à la découpe, ce qui répandra le contenu des fioles sur le circuit électrique qu'il détruira irrémédiablement. To make the car radio, the thief will necessarily be obliged to tilt it at an angle greater than that which the device can tolerate and all the more open when he will also have to free it from the hooks fixed to this end, on the external face of the shoemaker which retains it for cutting, which will spread the contents of the vials on the electrical circuit which it will irretrievably destroy.

La figure 1 renrésente, en coupe, le dispositif selon l'invention. Figure 1 shows, in section, the device according to the invention.

Le dispositif représenté sur la figure 1 comporte quarres petites fioles (1) disposées en carré à chaque coin d'un châssis (2) qui les maintient fixées (3) à la face interne du bottier à hauteur des parties essentielles du circuit. The device shown in Figure 1 comprises four small vials (1) arranged in a square at each corner of a frame (2) which keeps them fixed (3) to the internal face of the shoemaker at the level of the essential parts of the circuit.

Elles contiennent un peu d'acide ou de mercure. They contain a little acid or mercury.

Pour permettre le transport et le montage du poste elles sont hermétiquement bouchées (4) . Un cordon (5) les relie jusqu'à l'oricife (6) menagé sur la facade du bottier (9) qu'il dépasse pour pouvoir être retiré une fois 1' opération terminée. To allow transport and assembly of the station, they are hermetically sealed (4). A cord (5) connects them to the orifice (6) formed on the front of the shoemaker (9) which it exceeds so that it can be removed once the operation is complete.

Pour prendre le poste, le voleur devra nécessairement l'incliner d'un angle d'autant plus supérieur à celui du dispositif qu'il lui faudra, en plus, le dégager de deux crochets (7) qui le maintiennent à la découpe. To take the position, the thief will necessarily have to tilt it at an angle all the more greater than that of the device as he will also have to release it from two hooks (7) which hold it in place.

Le contenu se répandra, au moyen d'un petit conduit (8) sur les parties essentielles du circuit qu'il détruira. The content will spread, by means of a small conduit (8) over the essential parts of the circuit which it will destroy.

Le dispositif selon l'invention est particulièrement destiné à protéger du vol les autoradios par l'effet de dissuasion qu'il crée sur les voleurs largement informés de son existence par la publicité. The device according to the invention is particularly intended to protect car radios from theft by the deterrent effect it creates on thieves widely informed of its existence by advertising.
