Abstract

A vehicle anti-theft locking device comprising a locking element which is selectably displaceable into and out of lock engagement with a vehicle gear selection mechanism, an electric motor drivingly coupled with the locking element for selectable displacement of the locking element in at least one direction by an electric signal from an electrical signal source external to the locking device, and a key-operated lock cylinder comprising a rotatable tumbler, characterized in that the locking device further comprises a mechanical override mechanism coupled with the locking element, wherein the mechanical override mechanism is manually operable to displace the locking element in at least one direction.

Claims

AMENDED CLAIMS[received by the International Bureau on 12 January 2000 (12.01.00); original claims 1, 12 and 15 amended; remaining claims unchanged (3 pages)]What is claimed
1. A vehicle anti-theft locking device comprising; a locking element which is selectably displaceable into and out of locking 5 engagement with a vehicle gear selection mechanism; and a key-operated lock cylinder comprising a rotatable tumbler; characteri7xd by an electric motor drivingly coupled with the locking clement for selectable displacement of said locking element both into and out of locking engagement with the vehicle gear selection mechanism by an electric signal from an electrical signal source, lϋ wherein said locking device further comprises a mechanical override mechanism coupled with said locking element, wherein said mechanical override mechanism is manually operable to displace said locking element in at least one direction
2. The device according to claim 1 further comprising a shutter which is selectively positionable to block access to said mechanical override mechanism.
15 3. The device according to claim 2, wherein a portion of said tumbler selectively urges said shutter to a position blocking access to said mechanical override mechanism, wherein suitable rotation of said tumbler permits said shutter to move lo a position which allows access to said mechanical override mechanism.
4. The device according to any of the preceding claims, wherein said key-operated 20 lock cylinder is selectively connectable to a switch electrically connected to said electric motor, wherein suitable rotation of said tumbler actuates said switch, thereby providing an electrical signal to said electric motor for selectable displacement of said locking element in at least one direction.
5. The device according to any of the preceding claims further comprising a 25 reinforced steel housing that surrounds and encloses at least part of said locking element, said electric motor, and said lock cylinder.
6. The device according to claim 5 further comprising an external protective collar extending from housing which at least partially surrounds said locking element when in a retracted position.
30 7. The device according to any of the preceding claims and wherein said electric motor is controlled for providing displacement of said locking element both into and out of locking engagement with said vehicle gear selection mechanism by said electric signal from an electrical signal source external to said locking device.
12
8 The device according to any of the preceding claims and wherein said electric motor is controlled for providing displacement of said locking element into locking engagement with said vehicle gear selection mechanism by said electric signal from an electrical signal source external to said locking device and is controlled for providing displacement of said locking element out of locking engagement with said vehicle gear selection mechanism by operation of said key-operated lock cylinder,
9, The device according to any of the preceding claims and comprising a first sensor which senses the displacement of said locking clement into the locking engagement with said vehicle gear selection mechanism and signals said electric motor to stop displacing said locking element,
10 The device according to any of the preceding claims and comprising a second sensor which senses the displacement of said locking element from the locking engagement with said vehicle gear selection mechanism and signals said electric motor to stop displacing said locking element at a predetermined retracted position 1 1 The device according to claim 5 and comprising at least one anti-tamper clement mounted in said reinforced steel housing which generally prevents unauthorized mechanical access to and actuation of said locking clement,
12. A vehicle anti-theft locking device comprising a locking element which is selectably displaceable into and out of locking engagement with a vehicle gear selection mechanism; and a key-operated lock cylinder comprising a rotatable tumbler; characterized by an electric motor drivingly coupled with the locking element for selectable displacement of said locking clement both into and out of locking engagement with the vehicle gear selection mechanism by an electric signal from an electrical signal source, wherein said key-operated lock cylinder is selectively conπectable to a switch electrically connected to said electric motor, wherein suitable rotation of said tumbler actuates said switch, thereby providing an electrical signal to said electric motor for selectable displacement of said locking element in at least one direction,
13. The device according to claim 12 and wherein said electric motor is controlled for providing displacement of said locking element both into and out of locking engagement with said vehicle gear selection mechanism by said electric signal from an electrical signal source external to said locking device.
13
14. The device according to claim 12 or claim 13 and wherein said electric motor is controlled for providing displacement of said locking element into locking engagement with said vehicle gear selection mechanism by said electric signal from an electrical signal source external to said locking device and is controlled for providing displacement of said locking element out of locking engagement with said vehicle gear selection mechanism by operation of said key-operated lock cylinder.
15, A vehicle anti-theft locking device comprising: a locking element which is selectably displaceablc into and out of locking engagement with a vehicle gear selection mechanism; and a key-operated lock cylinder comprising a rotatable tumbler; characterized by an electric motor drivingly coupled with the locking element for selectable displacement of said locking element both into and out of locking engagement with the vehicle gear selection mechanism by an electric signal from an electrical signal source, wherein said locking element comprises a hollow locking element which is telescopically arranged with respect to a driving screw which is threadably engaged therewith.
