Abstract

DC60 (22/08/56) A solenoid-activated gear shift lever locking device for automobiles, as described in this invention, is designed so that the locking mechanism is activated by a solenoid and includes an emergency release mechanism in conjunction with the normal release mechanism, which can be released by either solenoid activation or key ignition, eliminating the need to design a separate emergency release mechanism.

1. A solenoid-activated gear shift lever lock is an anti-theft device designed to lock the gear shift lever. A solenoid is the primary function of activating the locking pin to lock and unlock the lever. Its main components are: a) an electrical system to control the solenoid's activation; b) a gear shift lever locking mechanism to prevent normal gear operation; and c) an emergency release mechanism to unlock the gear and allow normal gear operation in case of electrical or mechanical failure. A special feature is the gear shift lever locking mechanism, which consists of a housing (3) to enclose the locking mechanism and electrical system for protection against damage. The housing is designed as a double-ended open box. One end of the body is perforated (3a) to accommodate the insertion of a padlock sleeve (15) and a padlock (10), respectively.

Screw (11) where the housing (3b) is fabricated to have a hole (3b1) of the size and shape of which is consistent with the body of the screw cover (11) and drilled through the length of the housing, and also fabricated to have a groove (3b2) on one side of the body to accommodate the threading of the control shaft (11c). The front cover (4) is fabricated to have the size and shape of which is consistent with the housing tube (3) to cover the front end of the tube, and the body is fabricated to have a tube (41) protruding to accommodate the threading of the locking pin (43) into the hole (41a) of the tube. In addition, the body of the tube (41) is fabricated to have a curved shape so as not to obstruct the operation of any equipment or parts of the vehicle, and the end of the tube (41) is provided with a U-shaped steel plate (42) to cover the mounting bracket (8) to prevent thieves from using a tool to remove the screw (83). The rear cover (5) is fabricated to have the size and shape of which is consistent with the housing tube (3) to cover One end of the open tube is enclosed (3). The connecting rod (12) is an important component in forcing the locking rod (13) to work in relation to the movement of the end (1a) of the solenoid (1), which is fabricated with a connector (12c) for fitting into the square groove (13b) of the locking rod (13). It is fabricated with an extension arm (12d) protruding from the connector (12c), which is fabricated to have the shape and size to fit the long groove (13d) of the locking rod (13), and at the end of the extension arm (12d) is fabricated to have different sized pivots (12e) to prevent the main rod (13) from unlocking itself when an external force is applied to the vehicle or locking device. In addition, the body of the connecting rod (12) is fabricated A groove (12a) is fabricated for fitting into the end (1a) of the solenoid (1), and a hole (12b) is fabricated for threading a pin (18) into which the extension shaft (12) is secured to the shaft (1a) of the solenoid (1) by threading it through the first hole (12b) of the extension shaft (12), through the hole (1b) of the solenoid (1), and through the other hole (12b), respectively. The pin shaft (13), whose body (13a) is fabricated to be shaped and sized to fit the hole (16a) of the housing (16), and whose body is fabricated with a square groove (13b) to fit the connector (12c) of the extension shaft (12) into a slot so that the extension shaft (12) can move back and forth after the two parts are assembled. The aforementioned square groove (13b) is fabricated to have a hole (13c) for threading a pin to secure the connector (12) to the pin shaft. In addition, the underside of the body is fabricated to have a long groove (13d) from the square groove (13b) almost to the end of the body (not through) to accommodate the assembly of the connecting arm (12d) of the connecting shaft (12), where near the end of this long groove (13d) a hole (13e) is fabricated to insert a spring (17). The spring (17) is provided to support the end of the connecting arm (12d) to protrude from the long groove (13d) of the pin shaft (13). The housing (16) for the threading of the pin shaft (13) is fabricated to have one side of the body welded to the inner housing (3). and fabricated to have a hole (16a) drilled through for threading the pin (13) into, and fabricated to have a notch (16b) to clear the coupling (12) which is assembled with the pin (13) in that area. The locking pin (43) whose body is fabricated from a large wire rope to be threaded into the hole (41a) of the pipe (41), and which can bend to conform to the shape of the pipe (41). The end (43a) is fabricated to be the size and shape to conform to the groove (81a) of the mounting plate (8), and the other end is welded to the end (13a) of the pin (13). The screw cover (11) to cover the screw head (20) to prevent the screw from loosening and removing the locking device without permission, in which the screw cover is fabricated to be the size In line with the hole (3b1) and the body area, a control shaft (11c) is fabricated to protrude. When this screw shaft (11) is assembled into the housing (3b) of the enclosed tube (3), the end (11a) protrudes through the teeth of the hole (4b) of the front cover (4) to close the screw head (20). At the same time, the control shaft (11c) protrudes in front of the coupling shaft (12), and the end (11b) is positioned relative to the end (21b) of the cam (21), i.e., when the key (10) is locked, the end (21b) of the cam (21) prevents the end (11b) of the screw shaft (11) from moving, or when the key (10) is unlocked, the end (21b) of the cam is positioned relative to the end. (11b) of the screw housing shaft (11) results in the ability to press the end (11a) of the screw housing shaft into the housing (3) to loosen the screw and remove the locking device. The mounting shaft (8) which is fabricated into two pieces, left mounting shaft (8l) and right mounting shaft (8R) for attachment to the gear linkage rod, where the left mounting shaft (8l) is fabricated into a curved groove (8La) of the size corresponding to the size of the gear linkage rod to be attached, and the body is fabricated into a threaded hole (8Lb) for threading a screw (82) into which the right mounting shaft (8R) is securely attached to the gear linkage rod. The right mounting shaft (8R) is also fabricated into a curved groove (8Ra) of the size corresponding to the size of the gear linkage rod, and the body is fabricated into a hole (8Rb) for The screw (82) is threaded through the threaded hole (8Lb) of the left mounting shaft (8L) to securely fasten the two parts to the gear linkage. The right mounting shaft (8R) is also fabricated with a threaded hole (8Rc) to accommodate the insertion of the threaded pin (81a) of the steel plate (81), and is fabricated with a threaded hole (8Rd) to accommodate the threading of the grub screw (83) to force the locking plate (81) to loosen. The locking plate (81), which is fabricated with a threaded pin (81a) protruding from its body to fit into the threaded hole (8Rc) of the right mounting shaft (8R), and the body is fabricated with a locking groove (81b) to accommodate the insertion of the locking pin (43) to lock it.
