Abstract

1,215,470. Indicating unauthorized operation of vehicles. J. M. BURKE. 20 Dec., 1967 No. 57753/67. Heading B7J. [Also in Divisions G1, G4] A device for indicating unauthorized use of a vehicle comprises a treble pole switch and three amber lights connected one to each pole. The lights, which are mounted on the floor of the vehicle, are not visible to the driver and are obscured to a viewer outside the vehicle by a sliding cover moved into position when the handbrake is applied. A cable is attached to the handbrake and the cover for moving the cover to obscure the light when the handbrake is on whilst a spring attached to an anchor point of the vehicle and the cover holds the cover in the open position when the handbrake is off. The vehicle owner, on leaving the car, closes the switch which is key operated so that a thief on releasing the handbrake and switching on the ignition causes one of the amber lights to be switched on. The three amber lights are connected through contacts on the speedometer and other lights which give a visible indication of the speed at which the vehicle is travelling, the amber lights being so connected that one is always switched on during the unauthorized use irrespective of the speed of the vehicle. The three pole switch may be provided with a rubber suction disc so that it can be placed in any position.
