Description

" DISPOSITIF ANTIVOL POUR VEHICULE AUTOMOBILE
La présente invention concerne un dispositif antivol adaptable sur tous types de véhicules automobiles."ANTI-THEFT DEVICE FOR A MOTOR VEHICLE
The present invention relates to an anti-theft device adaptable to all types of motor vehicles.

La caractéristique première de ce dispositif est de pouvoir obtenir au choix, le déverrouillage (déblocage) ou le verrouillage (blocage) du volant par rapport à la colonne de direction en agissant X l'aide d'une clef sur un verrou.The primary characteristic of this device is to be able to obtain, as desired, the unlocking (unlocking) or locking (blocking) of the steering wheel relative to the steering column by acting X using a key on a lock.

Un volant équipé de ce dispositif peut être installé à la place du volant d'origine de tout véhicule automobile.A steering wheel fitted with this device can be installed in place of the original steering wheel of any motor vehicle.

L'installation est très facile : il suffit de retirer le volant d'origine; en général maintenu par un écrou.Installation is very easy: just remove the original steering wheel; usually held in place by a nut.

Le dispositif et son volant, objet de l'invention, se fixe également de la même manière que le volant d'origine.The device and its steering wheel, object of the invention, is also fixed in the same way as the original steering wheel.

L'avantage de ce dispositif par rapport à certains systèmes déjà développés visant à bloquer le volant en rotation ou bien visant par des contacts électriques à interdire le démarrage du véhicule: ces systèmes peuvent être, soit forcés et cassés, soit failement reconnectés.The advantage of this device compared to certain systems already developed aiming to block the steering wheel in rotation or aiming by electrical contacts to prohibit the starting of the vehicle: these systems can be, either forced and broken, or failingly reconnected.

Le dispositif antivol, objet de l'invention, tend à éliminer ces défauts puisque le véhicule étant à l'arrêt, l'action d'une clef débloque le volant qui se trouve ainsi libre en rotation. On a donc plus de possibilité de manoeuvrer le véhicule : le volant n'agit plus sur la direction.The anti-theft device, object of the invention, tends to eliminate these defects since the vehicle being stopped, the action of a key unlocks the steering wheel which is thus free to rotate. It is therefore more possible to maneuver the vehicle: the steering wheel no longer acts on the steering.

Le verrou ayant 2 positions en tournant une nouvelle fois la clef, le volant équipé du dispositif peut être tout simplement enlevé. A sa place, un bouchon sans volant muni d'un verrou à clef est introduit dans le moyeu conda mnant ainsi l'accès à la colonne de direction à tout autre système ou volant de manoeuvre.The lock having 2 positions by turning the key again, the steering wheel fitted with the device can be simply removed. In its place, a plug without a handwheel fitted with a key lock is introduced into the hub, thus condemning access to the steering column to any other system or handwheel.

Le dispositif comprend un moyeu creux cylindrique se fixant de façon solidaire à l'aide d'un écrou par l'intermédiaire de canelures identiques à celles de l'extrémité de la colon ne de direction du véhicule existant.The device comprises a hollow cylindrical hub which is fixedly attached with the aid of a nut by means of grooves identical to those of the end of the steering column of the existing vehicle.

A l'intérieur de ce moyeu vient se loger une bague en rotation libre et indépendant. Sur cette bague, un verrou est fixé en partie basse dont le cylindre barillet traversant afleure la face axiale du volant.Inside this hub is housed a free and independent rotating ring. On this ring, a lock is fixed in the lower part, the barrel cylinder passing through the axial face of the flywheel.

Cette bague est le support du volant.This ring is the support of the steering wheel.

Le moyeu cylindrique creux est usiné de manière précise: une rainure-fente cylindrique de l'épaisseur du pêne du verrou est faite tout autour du moyeu à l'intérieur de celui-ci; au fond de cette rainure-fente cylindrique se trouve une échancrure-gache correspondant très exactement aux dimensions du pêne du verrou.The hollow cylindrical hub is machined in a precise manner: a cylindrical slot groove of the thickness of the bolt of the bolt is made all around the hub inside of it; at the bottom of this cylindrical slot groove is a notch-strike corresponding very exactly to the dimensions of the bolt of the lock.

Cette échancrure-gache esL percée diamétralement dans le moyeu et dans l'axe longitudinal du pène du verrou.This notch-strike esL is drilled diametrically in the hub and in the longitudinal axis of the bolt bolt.

Pour mieux comprendre, des dessins sont annexés.To better understand, drawings are attached.

La Figure 1 est une vue en coupe verticale du moyeu 5 comprenant la pièce canelée 10 se fixant solidairement et coaxialement sur les canelures 16 de la colonne de direction 17 et maintenu par l'écrou 11 vissé sur le filetage 15 du bout de la colonne de direction du véhicule.Figure 1 is a vertical sectional view of the hub 5 comprising the fluted part 10 fixed integrally and coaxially on the grooves 16 of the steering column 17 and held by the nut 11 screwed onto the thread 15 of the end of the column of direction of the vehicle.

Ce moyeu 5 possède une rainure-fente cylindrique 8 et une échancrure-gache 9 de la dimension du pêne 7. This hub 5 has a cylindrical slot groove 8 and a notch-strike 9 the size of the bolt 7.

La coupe AA montre l'astuce simple de ces usinages.The AA cut shows the simple trick of these machining operations.

Le moyeu 5 est protégé par un cylindre enveloppant en acier 13.The hub 5 is protected by an enveloping steel cylinder 13.

La Figure 2 est une vue en coupe verticale de la bague 4 supportant dans sa partie supérieure le volant 2 et dans sa partie inférieure le verrou 6 muni de son pêne 7. Le cylindre barillet 3 traverse la bague 4 pour laisser apparaitre dans la partie axiale du volant la clef 1.Figure 2 is a vertical sectional view of the ring 4 supporting in its upper part the flywheel 2 and in its lower part the lock 6 provided with its bolt 7. The barrel cylinder 3 crosses the ring 4 to reveal in the axial part from the steering wheel the key 1.

Le verrou 6 est à 2 tours de clef soit 3 positions.Lock 6 is 2 turns of the key, ie 3 positions.

* Première position: le pbne 7 est totalement rentré (voir coupe AA1). Le volant 2 muni de la bague 4 peut être mis ou retiré du moyeu 5 et remplacé par le bouchon 4 bis sans volant. * First position: pin 7 is fully retracted (see section AA1). The flywheel 2 provided with the ring 4 can be put or removed from the hub 5 and replaced by the plug 4 bis without flywheel.

* Deuxième position: le pêne 7 est sorti d'un premier cran par l'action d'un tour de la clef 1. Il vient se loger dans la rainure-fente cylindrique 8, la bague 4 et le volant 2 sont bloqués dans le moyeu 6 mais libre en rotation (voir coupe AA2). Le volant 2 tourne libre dans le vide interdisant la conduite du véhicule. * Second position: the bolt 7 came out of a first notch by the action of a turn of the key 1. It is housed in the cylindrical slot-groove 8, the ring 4 and the handwheel 2 are locked in the hub 6 but free to rotate (see section AA2). The steering wheel 2 turns freely in a vacuum preventing the driving of the vehicle.

* Troisième position: le ène 7 est sorti d'un deuxième cran par l'action d'un czuxième tour de la clef 1.  * Third position: ene 7 came out of a second notch by the action of a twentieth turn of key 1.

Le pêne vient se bloquer dans l'échancrure-gache 9 rendant solidaire l'ensemble volant 2 et bague 4 du moyeu 5 ainsi que de la colonne de direction 17 (voir coupe AA3).The bolt is blocked in the notch-strike 9 making integral the flywheel 2 and ring 4 assembly of the hub 5 as well as of the steering column 17 (see section AA3).

Le volant 2 est ainsi verrouillé et bloqué dans le moyeu 5 et peut donc agir sur la direction du véhicule. The steering wheel 2 is thus locked and blocked in the hub 5 and can therefore act on the direction of the vehicle.
