SI23051A - Mechanical anti-theft guard for blocking motor vehicle pedal - Google Patents

Abstract

A mechanical anti-theft guard for blocking a motor vehicle pedal is a device by which the theft of the vehicle is intended to be prevented in a manner that the vehicle pedal (clutch, brake or accelerator pedal) is embraced completely into a compact housing of the device, preventing thus its function and disabling the motor vehicle drivability consecutively. Once set in the position, the device is designed so that it presses and leans, due to its unique shape, on the pedal body on its upper part and abuts against the vehicle floor (bottom) on its lower part, preventing in this way its movement in the direction of pedal activation. The device is composed of two larger assemblies A (1) and B (2). When installing the unlocked device on a vehicle pedal (3), the latter lies down into a pedal bed on the assembly A (1), after which the assembly B (2) is turned around the assembly A (1) and the pedal locked in the desired position which prevents it its operation.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

Mechanical protection of vehicles; structural elements of vehicles.

A technical problem

A technical problem solved by the patent according to the invention is the installation of a mechanical guard only directly and exclusively on one of the feet of the motor vehicle, ensuring full pedal grip, electronic guard upgrade, as well as difficult accessibility in case of violent disassembly of the guard.

The state of the art

Mechanical motor vehicle anti-theft solutions already exist on the market today, but none allow for mounting solely on one of the soles of the motor vehicle, none guarantee complete pedal grip, electronic guard upgrade, as well as difficult accessibility in the event of a violent disassembly of the guard . The mechanical locking mechanism of the pedal and the steering wheel, the mechanical locking mechanism of the steering wheel and the mechanical protection of the gear lever are thus known.

• The common feature of all the solutions mentioned in the previous paragraph is either relatively easy access and dismantling due to the uncompact and simple construction, or interfering with the vital parts (gearbox) of the motor vehicle when installing mechanical protection. The technical solution offered with its compact and complex multilayer composition, unique design and mounting method ensures:

• harder accessibility and little room for maneuver to forcefully remove the guard, • not reaching the vital parts of the motor vehicle during installation, • hugging the entire pedal of the vehicle, thereby disabling its function and thus disabling the driving characteristics of the motor vehicle • alerting the installed guard by means of a light signal (flashing led light), • electronic upgrading of the mechanical security system (the patent applicant has already distributed the possibility of upgrading with an existing electronic device which, in the event of a violent encroachment on the protection of the owner of the motor vehicle, would alert him by SMS message to his mobile phone)

Description of the new solution

The technical problem described above solves a mechanical guard for locking the pedal of a motor vehicle against theft, which can mechanically protect the motor vehicle from theft.

The essence of the invention is the design of the device, which will allow easy installation of the guard on the pedal (clutch, brake or accelerator pedal) and with its compact and complex construction will provide a high degree of safety in case of an attempt to forcefully remove the guard mounted on the pedal.

In the following, the operation of the invention according to the patent is described by the description of the drawings, the drawings forming part of the description.

The device consists of two sets Al and B 2. To install the device on the pedal 3, it is necessary that both sets are in the position as shown in Figure 1, the slot for the pedal 3 on the set A 1 must be aligned with the slot for the pedal 3 on the set B 2 (device open and unlocked).

The whole guard (assembly A 1 and B 2) is mounted on the pedal 3 (Fig. 2), and then the assembly B 2 is rotated around the assembly A 1 in the position shown in Fig. 3. The pedal 3 is fully embraced, which means that its function motion disabled. In this position, locking the B 2 assembly with a lock prevents the B 2 assembly from rotating around the A 1 assembly (the device is installed and locked).

Assembly A 2 (Fig. 4) consists of a pedestal compartment 5 of compact plastic, on which the spacer plates 7 are screwed in the inner lateral part of the bed with a screw 6, which serve to regulate the width of the pedal bearing opening 3 (Fig. 4). This solves the problem of installing the device for different shapes and widths of the feet 3 (Figures 1, 2, 3) for different types of vehicles. On the underside of the element 5 is a grooved groove 8 through which, during the locking phase of the pedal 3, a locking pin 14. The grooves 9 and 10 for locking the lock 36 and the threaded hole 11 for the connecting element - screw 47 are also cut.

Assembly B 2 (Figures 8, 9) consists of a sub-assembly of assembly B 12, lock assembly 16, additional safety lock assembly 17 with cover 18.

The subassembly of assembly B 12 (Figure 10) consists of a pipe 13 and a locking pin 14.

The tube 13 has a cutout 19 in the form of a pedal 3 (Figures 1, 2, 3 and 10), a circular aperture for the key 20, a hole 21 for the flashing LED flashlight 63 (Fig. 16) and holes with threads 22, 23, 24, 25 through with screws fixing the locking assembly 16 (Figures 8, 9, 11, 12, 13), and holes with threads 26 and 27 through which screws secured the additional locking assembly 17 (Figures 8, 9). The locking pin 14 serves to block the rotation of assembly B 2 around assembly A 1 (Figures 6, 7).

The lock assembly 16 (Figures 11, 12, 13, 14) consists of a compact plastic element 35 into which a groove 28 for the lock 36 is made, a hole with a thread 29 in which a screw of the lock 37 is screwed, holes with threads 30, 31,32 and 33 for individual bolt assemblies 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44 and 45, and a threaded center hole 34 for a central bolt 46 and a connecting element bolt 47 (Figure 15).

The bolt assemblies 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44 and 45 are used to ensure that the locking assembly 16 is fixed to the pipe 13 of the subassembly of assembly B 12 and thus acts together as a locking unit of the device.

The center bolt 46 serves as an additional guard against the unscrewing of the internal assemblies of screws 38, 39, 40, 41, which are invisible on the device and can only be unscrewed in a specific order. So, first unscrew the outer bolt assemblies 42, 43, 44, 45 to release the pressure on the center bolt 46, then it would be urgent to remove the entire additional safety lock assembly 17 with the cover 18 so that the center bolt 46 can be loosened and only then unscrew the individual internal assemblies of screws 38, 39, 40, 41, thereby loosening the joint between the subassembly of assembly B 12 and lock assembly 16.

However, even if someone would just loosen all the screws (they are secured (trapped) on the device, as an additional safeguard against such an act), and it would take a very, very long time (difficult accessibility), the whole assembly B 2 still cannot unscrew from assembly A 1 unless the lock is in the unlocked position and the key is removed from the machine.

The device can still not be completely dismantled because it is clamped to the pedal 3 above, and to the bottom 4 it abuts the vehicle (Fig. 3), thus preventing the possibility of unbundling assembly B 2 from assembly A 1. pedal 3, still clamped on the device, thus rendering it unusable.

Assembly A 1 and assembly B 2 are interconnected by a connecting element - screw 47.

The additional safety lock assembly 17 (Figures 8, 9, 16, 17 and 18) consists of an element 48 made of compact plastic in which a groove 57 is made for the flashing warning LED lamp 63, holes with threads 55 and 56 for individual screw assemblies 62, 50, 51 and 52, and holes with threads 58 and 59 for screws 53 and 54 which secure the cover 18 to the additional safety lock assembly 17.

The cover 18 (Figures 8, 9, 16 and 17) consists of an element 52 made of compact plastic in which holes 60 and 61 are made for screws 53 and 54.

The bolt assemblies 62, 49, 50 and 51 are used to provide the additional safety lock assembly 17 with the cover 18 fixed to the tube 13 of the subassembly of assembly B 12 (Figure 18), thus acting together as an additional safety locking mechanism, and as a warning instrument carrier ( flashing warning LED flashlight or, as an option, the above-mentioned warning system for sending sms messages to a user's mobile phone, in case of a violent removal of the device).

The mechanical guard according to the invention has at least one spacer plate 7 which is screwed on the inner side of the pedestal bay 5 of assembly A 1 with a screw 6, thus serving to regulate the width of the pedal bay opening 3. This solves the problem of installing the device for different shapes and pedal widths for different types of vehicles.

Due to its unique shape, the mechanical guard according to the invention can be mounted very easily and very quickly (and also dismantled) as a theft guard on the pedal of the vehicle, without the device itself mechanically interfering with the vital parts of the motor vehicle.

The mechanical guard according to the invention has a fixed electronic upgrade of the mechanical security system, which in the case of attempted violent interference with the guard of the motor vehicle owner warns about it, preferably via SMS message to his mobile phone).
