Abstract

A security device 5 which is incorporated into a battery or power cell. The device may act as an anti-theft system for vehicles or machinery which require a battery. The security device includes a microprocessor 12, a voltage regulator 17 and sensors 15,16. Cable connections 6,7,8 are also provided and may be integrated with a vehicles own alarm system and components. One of the cables 6 may be connected to a sensor on the periphery of the vehicle, for receiving commands from law enforcement officers. Another cable 7 may be connected to the vehicles own alarm system. A further cable 8 may be connected to a vital component such that, upon identifying a threat, the security device can send a high voltage surge along the cable to disable said vital component. A key 14 operated control switch 9 allows the user to select between different operating modes. The security device can take any of following courses of action if a threat is detected; (1) send a high voltage surge through cable 8 to disable a vital component, (2) reduce power output through terminal 3, or (3) shut down the battery using a cutout switch 13.

Description

( A battery security device or b.s.d This invention is a anti-theR device
that will be incorporated into batteries of automobiles, trucks, anything that uses an internal combustion engine and electrically powered vehicles or any other machine that depends on a battery. All of the above mentioned rely on a baby to start them and in some cases a battery or batteries to keep them operating.
When this invention is incorporated into a battery it will control the battery and it's function's. It will regulate the battery's voltage and amperage and act as the vehicle's security system.
The b.s.d will have an outside cable link with special sensor (s) located somewhere on a vehicles perimeter. The sensor (s) will be able to receive conu'ands from law enforcment officers and pass them onto the b.s.d The b. s.d will then use it's own security measures to either shut down the host battery, power cell / power pack and the vehicle that it is fitted / connected to.
The battery security device or b.s.d can be connected to a vehicles anti theh system or some vital or sensitive component within the vehicle or machine. It will monitor all systems, devices and links made to them from the b.s.d.Should any one tamper with them illegally the b.s.d will either shut the battery down or reduce it's power output.
In some cases it can be programmed to fail the sensitive components that are connected to it thus disabling the vehicle.
Because the b.s.d is incorporated into the battery it will be tamper proof.
It will have a voltage regulator, microprocessor 7 programmable key function and monitored connections, this will provide greater vehicle security.
( A prefered embodiment of the invention will now be described win reference to the accompaning drawings in which FIGURE I shows a sectional view Mom one side of a battery and the battery security device or the b.s. d.
FIGURE 2 shows a view of the battery from above and the external features of the battery security device.
FIGURE 3 shows a sectional side view of the b.s.d.
FIGURE 4 shows a view of the b.s.d Mom above.
FIGURE 5 shows a view of the b.s.d's manual program and it's numbered positions from above.
FIGURE 6 is Me security key which will be used to manually programme the b.s.d.
In figure I it shows how the b.s.d win be incorporated into a battery with cells 2 below it.
Posts 3 and 4 are part of the battery I and they go down into battery land connect to b.s.d 5.
Vent 10 allows atmospheric pressure to enter into b.s.d 5 and it's components. Cable 6 will be connected to a sensor or sensors fitted somewhere on or within the perimeter. The sensor or sensors connected to cable 6 will allow law enforcement officers to send a command to the b.s. d 5.
Any interference or tampering with cable 6 and it's connected parts, components,or sensors and b.s.d 5 will either bunted the power supply to post 3 or shut down battery I completely using cutout 13 as shown in fig 3. Program 9 allows manual input into b.s.d S. Cable 7 can be connected to an align or security system and which will not be part of b.s.d S. B.s. d 5 will monitor cable 7 and it's connected parts and components, once again any interference or an attempt to tamper with them and b.s.d 5 will act and use it's own security system.
Cable 8 can be connected to a vital component (s) or sensor (s), cable 8 will be used to send a high voltage surge which will disable the vital component (s) or sensor (s). Again cable 8 is monitored and if tampered with the b s.d 5 will shut battery I down completely.
Figure 2 shows a view of battery I from above and the external features and the connection points of b.s.d 5.
Program 9 has 5 different settings which can be manually operated with security key 14, fig 6.
Sensor 11 can be used in conJuntion with cable 6, an I e d light fitted to sensor 1 I will confirm that b.s.d 5 is operating correctly.
In figure 3 a microprocessor and a voltage regulator are contained in 12, in turn they are connected to sensors 15 and 16.
Sensors 15 and 16 will monitor cables 6,7,8 and their respective connnections and components.
Program 9 will also be connected to 12 which will be manually operated with security key 14.
A cutout 13 is incorporated into b.s.d 5 and will be used to shut battery 1 down should b.s.d 5 and it's connections come under a threat.
In figure 4 voltage regulator 17 will be connected to sensors IS, 16 and in turn to cables 6,7,8 and posts 3 and 4.Voltage regulator 17 can be used to send high voltage surges Trough cable X, posts 3 and 4. some cases regulator 17 may receive a command to reduce Me power output at post 3.
The positons and their finction's of program as shown in figure 5 will now be listed below 7 P Win represent prod.
P.O is the run program and only uses cutout 13 security system of b.s.d 5.
P. I is Me armed program, all security systems are on and ready to act, P. 2 We jump start position this will inform b.s.d 5 that booster cables are going to be fitted and that no threat is posed.
P.3 a maintenance program it will practically shut down b.s.d 5 to allow maintenance to be carried out on battery I, b.s.d 5 and all Weir respective connectors, parts and components.
P.4 will reset the b.s.d 5 and all it's functions.
Security key 14, fig 6 which is removable will be used to obtain the programs described in figure 5.
