Definitions
- Radar detectors have a ready market and are therefore especially vulnerable to theft, as they are visible from the outside of a vehicle. Even though a vehicle is locked thieves are often inclined to risk breaking the window of the vehicle in order to gain access for stealing radar detectors.
- an apparatus which is automatically operable for concealing the radar detector, automatic upon and responsive to cessation of the operation of any system of the vehicle, would be of special interest particularly from a novelty standpoint. Such apparatus would also be specifically directed to trucks, although such may also be utilized in automotive vehicles as in an alternate form of the invention illustrated herein or in some other external inner surface of the vehicle. Such may even be a part of and concealed within a sun visor.
- Radar detectors have been deployed beneath a vehicle as illustrated in U.S. Pat. No. 4,346,774.
- Other structures which depend from and are concealed adjacent the roof of a vehicle are illustrated as in U.S. Pat. No. 1,964,339.
- Another important object of the invention is to provide a novel device which may be deployed automatically upon starting of an automotive vehicle and retracted upon cessation of operation.
- apparatus may be provided for housing and deploying a radar detector within an exposed inner surface of an automotive vehicle by providing a retractable support with electrically operated means for automatically moving the support between a retraced and a deployed position which may be automatically responsive to a signal resulting from cessation of operating any of the systems of a vehicle.
- a support be provided carrying a Velcro strip for engagement with a Velcro strip carried by the radar detector.
- a switch means is actuated responsive to the ignition switch for automatically retracting and deploying the radar detector.
- a remote switch provides actuation of the switch means responsive to the operation of the ignition switch and acts as an overriding means should the operator not desire to use the radar detector and its deploying and concealing features hereof.
- the apparatus preferably is located in the ceiling of the automotive vehicle as in the recess between the ceiling and the roof and depends therefrom when deployed from normal operation of the radar detector opposite the windshield.
- FIG. 1 is a perspective view illustrating apparatus constructed in accordance with the present invention carrying the radar detector in normal operable position opposite the windshield;
- FIG. 2 is a longitudinal sectional elevation further illustrating the apparatus of FIG. 1;
- FIG. 3 is a plan view taken on the line 3--3 in FIG. 2;
- FIG. 4 is a perspective view illustrating an alternate form of the invention wherein the apparatus is mounted within the dash board of an automobile;
- FIG. 5 is a block diagram illustrating the operation of various electrical components of the apparatus.
- the drawings illustrate apparatus for housing a radar detector between the roof and an exposed inner surface of an automotive vehicle such as a van and for deploying the radar detector in operable position opposite the windshield during movement of the vehicle.
- the apparatus includes a support A for the radar detector.
- Means B carry the support for movement from an operable position to a retracted position between the roof and said exposed surface.
- Electrically operated means C move the means carrying the support from the operable position to the retracted position.
- Switch means D automatically actuate the electrically operated means responsive to cessation of operation of the vehicle.
- a cover panel E has an exposed surface compatible with the exposed inner surface and in substantial alignment or flush therewith when the support is in retracted position.
- FIG. 1 illustrates a console 10 of the often found adjacent the front ceiling portion of a van.
- the console 10 is carried beneath the roof of the automobile and serves as a ceiling as further illustrated at 11 in FIG. 2.
- the support A is provided in the form of a panel or substantially rectangular block A for carrying a Velcro pad 12 receiving a Velcro pad or strip 13 carried by an opposite portion of the radar detector illustrated at 14.
- the support A is carried by means B in the form of vertical linkage 15 connected on one end to the support A and on the other end slidably carried within a frame 16 which has suitably fixed mounting within the recess provided between the ceiling portion 11 and the roof 17 (FIG. 2).
- the frame 16 is attached as by screws 18 within an opening 19 within the ceiling.
- a bracket portion 20 of the frame carries a motor M as well as a housing 21.
- the housing 21 contains a toothed drum 22 operated by the electric motor M for engaging toothed cable 23 for carrying the cable schematically illustrated at 24 and having connection with a bar 15a connected between the vertical linkage members 15.
- the motor M forms a part of the electrically operated means C for carrying the support A from a retracted position as illustrated in solid lines in FIG. 2 to an operable position opposite the windshield 25 of the automotive vehicle as illustrated in FIG. 1.
- a cover member is illustrated at E which has an exposed finish or surface which is compatible with the ceiling surface of the automobile and which is preferably calculated to conceal the radar detector when the apparatus is in retracted position.
- the cover is preferable substantially flush with the ceiling and has upturned or beveled edges 26 and is suitable secured to the base of the support A If desirable, the support A may serve as a cover for the opening 19.
- FIG. 4 A modified form of the invention is illustrated in FIG. 4 wherein a support member A is carried by linkage B for being stored in retracted position within a compartment having an opening 27 in the dash 28.
- a cover E is provided which is compatible with the upper substantially horizontal surface of the dash 28. If desired, the cover may be constructed so as to create a recess above the surface of the dash for receiving the radar detector and associated parts in retracted position in lieu of cutting the opening 27 in the upper surface of the dash.
- the radar detector When the ignition switch is turned on and the remote switch turned on, power is supplied to the radar detector and power operated means is actuated for lowering the support and the radar detector from the ceiling as in FIG. 1 or raised as in FIG. 4.
- the radar detector is returned to stored position in the ceiling by either opening of the remote switch or the ignition switch.
- Such deploying and retracting of the radar detector may be otherwise controlled as desired as by providing a switch actuated responsive to operating conditions of the vehicle such as the attainment of a predetermined speed or speeds or such may be simply manually operated.
- FIG. 5 illustrates the electrical components including the remote switch D, as well as an ignition switch.
- the circuit is energized to raise the radar detector by closing of one of the pairs of contacts of the control relay.
- the electric motor M for lowering the radar detector is energized.
- Limit switch LS contacts prevent excessive travel in either direction, and preferably both are adjustable.
- the components are illustrated with the assembly in raised position as in FIG. 1.
- the motor M operates the limit switch LS through a suitable worm and gear drive as schematically illustrated by the broken line in FIG. 5.
