Abstract

The back of a vehicle driver's seat tips forward against the steering wheel and is locked in this position by way of a bolt H moving into recess J provided on the seat frame E which is pivoted to the seat mounting bracket B at K. The lock G may be manual or electric and is welded to the frame B.

Description

MOTOR VEHICLE ANTI-THEFT DEVICE This invention relates to a motor-vehicle anti-theft device.
Road vehicles such as cars, trucks and vans all have driver's seats. They already incorporate designs enabling the seat-back to be adjusted for rake and in some cases, tipped forward completely (presently, these are mainly fitted to two door cars allowing access to the rear seats.) The movement almost universally being pivoted from simple hinge-arrangements, one of which incorporates the rake/ tip mechanism.
The currently used rakes tip mechanisms generally operate from one hinge only and no example has the ability to lock.
This design enables the seat-back not only to be tipped forward using the current design's but innovates in that it locks the seat-back in the 'Tipped' forward position in a way that it prevents the vehicle being driven and from a point that it is not easily attacked. The design and the positioning enables current component parts to be used without modification, being required only to two current parts plus the application of the locking device - together Becoming functional.
This ability is explained best be referring to the submitted diagrams.
Diagram 1 displays the currently, and the most commonly used rake/ tip hinging systems, operating on hinge A or B; allowing the seat-back to be adjusted forward/ rearward, and in the case of2 door cars, tip forward completely to allow access to the rear-seats. It is this type of seat on which the design is based. The 'two door' car seat being fitted to all vehicles as the 'tipping' function is a necessary capability.
Diagram 2 shows one 'vacant' hinge from the seat that has received initial modification.
Instead of ending at it's pivot point, seat frame-support 'E' is extended below that point and is broadened; this broadened and extended arm forms an arc when the seat-back is tilted forward. Pivoting at 'K'. This extension incorporates a capped cup 'J', this is hollow and receives the bolt that is later explained. Also shown is the bracket 'B' which has been modified by the introduction of a hole 'L' through which the bolt will pass. Diagram 2 represents the seat when in the driving/ upright/ unlocked position, cup 'J' being moved aside from the hole 'L'.
Diagram 3 shows the bracket 'B' and seat frame 'E' set up in the tilted and locked position.
The seat back has been tipped forward, pivoting at 'K' and causing the extension to arc thus moving the cup 'J' over the bracket-hole 'L' and, into a position where a bolt can pass through 'L' and into the hollow of cup 'J' preventing 'E' from pivoting at 'K' and thus preventing the vehicle seat-back from returning to the upright position and from being occupiable. (See box sketch).
Diagram 4 shows the lock mechanism that applies the bolt through hole 'L' and into cup 'J'. (The seat frame 'E' is in the upright / unlocked position, the hole 'L' being covered by the plate section of 'E' - see diagram 2). The lock mechanism is enclosed in a strong case 'F' which is welded to hinge-bracket 'B'. The lock barrel 'G' is connected to a shot bolt 'H' that sits in a channel 'M'; and into hole 'L'. The lock barrel may be manual or electric in operation.
Diagram S shows the rear of the device and placement with the rear of the case 'F' removed for viewing purposes, displaying the connection between the lock barrel 'G' and the shot bolt 'H'. (The seat being in the upright/ unlocked position, the passage of'H' into securing cup 'J' being blocked by the main body of 'B'.
Diagram 6 shows modified seat-back support 'E' displaying pivot-hole 'K' and the bolt securing cup 'J', into which the bolt 'H' will enter.
Diagram 7 shows the rear of the mechanism (with the rear cover removed). The seat being in the upright/ unlocked/ driving position with the lock 'G' unlocked, and the bolt 'H' withdrawn and it's path into 'J' blocked by the main body of 'E'.
Diagram 8 shows the situation when the seat-back has been tipped forward and locked into place. By tipping the seat forward the securing cup 'J' has been brought into line with the hole 'L' in bracket 'B', allowing the bolt 'H' to pass through hole 'L' and into securing cup 'J'. Thus preventing 'E' moving and subsequently locking the seat-back into the 'tipped' position.
