Abstract

This invention is a formula of two devices, one to combat the entry into motor vehicles and the second to prevent the vehicle being stolen if forcible entry is obtained. The first device comprises a lock 1 on the door operated by a coded card type key. Manufacturers could develop their own coding. The second device comprises a sensor 9 in the seat of the vehicle which is set to allow switching on of the ignition only if the weight of the occupant corresponds with that of the owner, +/- 2kg. <IMAGE>

Description

THEFT PREVENTION OF MOTOR VEHICLES Technical Field This invention relates to a device that will prevent vehicle thefts.
Background With an increase in car thefts of present times it is obvious that present devices are vulnerable to manipulation to gain entry to motor vehicles and drive away. This invention will obliviate this and should the vehicle be broken into e.g., broken windows or crowbar entry, it could not be driven away. Theft in all cases of anti-theft devices are unavoidable in such cases.
Technical Features This invention is a formula of two devices, one to combat entry into the vehicle and the second, should entry be gained as above will prevent the vehicle being stolen.
The first device (1) (entry) is in the form of a coded card, initial manufacture starting off with four digits which can be added to indefinitely as production of more vehicles proceeds. Letters in the code will add to the complexity of the card. The coded card when inserted into a recognition slot, will be electronically recognised to open the vehicle door and for sensor setting (see later). Complexity of the card will add to the safety factor and will be programmed by the manufacturer. The acceptance slot for the card will be situated where the key position is normally placed or any convenient position. All doors will be operated simultaneously.
The second device (2) (stealing car) will operate on the programmed weight of the driver. It will be electronically operated and will be situated under the seat of the driver so that the weight of the driver; +/- 2 kilograms to allow for jacket being taken off or for a meal taken en route will actuate the device to complete the circuit for the ignition system. The design will be based on sensors and should a person of different weight sit on the seat no circuit will be completed. The ignition key will be used in the usual manner. The device will be so manufactured that complete seat removal will be necessary to repair it if it malfunctions. By-passing the device by pulling out wires from underneath the dashboard will have no effect since the circuit will not be complete underneath the driver's seat.

Claims (1)

  1. Claims In device (1) Fig. 1, the coded card 2 is
    inserted in the recognition slot 1 underneath door handle either in the vehicle door or near vicinity 3 when the door will be sprung open. On closing the door, it is automatically locked by the device. When inside it can be opened from the inside of the vehicle by an electromechanical switch or lever to over-ride the locking circuit.
    In device (2) Fig. 2, the car seat 4 is mounted on the vehicle floor 7 via the runners 8 (normal mounting). Inside the seat
    4 is a pressure plate 5 which covers 90% of the seat bottom area, directly above the seat floor 6. The seat springing/composition is made in the normal manufacturer's design.
    Centrally placed in between the pressure plate 5 and the seat floor 6 is device (2) shown as No. 9. When pressure is applied through the seat and pressure plate 5 the device which is pre-set to the driver's weight will then complete the ignition circuit, incorrect pressure will not complete the circuit. The device is sensor operated to allow for +/- 2 kilos difference of the driver's weight. The device is set by inserting the coded card (as in device (1)), completing the circuit and by electronic means, tuning into the correct weight setting, when the ignition light will operate, the key being turned on during this operation.
