Abstract:

The antitheft car mechanism consists of pipes (1, 2, 3) which one moves into another and have hooks (4, 5, 6) which in their inwards move fit (33, 36, 37) on metal blades (32, 34, 35) fixed on the transmitting motion shaft bar (31) and the floor box (38) which underneath closes the mechanism. One of the pipes the steady one (1) includes a cylinder lock (28) whose tongue (27) makes the drive to dent ''GAMMA'' (25) of steady pipe (1) and makes arc-shaped track to the parallel dent (26) of inner movable pipe (2) when locked so that hooks (4, 5, 6) remain steady in point holes (33, 36, 37) which make incapable any move of the shaft bar (31). The mechanism is fixed in the tunnel (45) on its both sides up or under the shaft bar (31) and its edge is visible in the car from hole opening (43) of above tunnel (45) the whole system is inactive when unlocked and returns through a carrying back spring (30).

Description:

Antitheft car- mechanis'-mby blocking up the transmitting motion shaft bar to the gear box.

The invention concernt an antitheft car's mechanism; which is placed-assembled in the tunnel passage of transmitting motion shaft bar from the speed lever to the gear box.Above mechanism consists of amale-female pipe system comprising hooks and cy- Under lock.When the whole system is operated the hooks which are firmly fixed on two movable pipes enter in perforated meta blades which from one side are fixed on the shaft setting it mobilized and on other side on other blades which are firmly f xed on the floor box which closes the mechanism from back fro and below.

As known motion in the cars is being tras itted from the motor to the wheels through the shaft which turns in accordance to t commands taken from the gear box which,is being guided from an ther axis of speed lever.Above transmitting commands axis is p ced in the aforesaid tunnel passage.Up to this date,well known car antitheft protection systems as starter,doors,speering loc ing and electronic systems,proved easy more or less to be forc This, new mechanical blocking up shaft and gearbox system una lable up _.to now,has carefully been studied so that selfoperat damage could never occur without the owner's will.

As prescribed this invention aims at securing more effectiv car theft protection since its location is properly hidden i a "blind place" at the tunnel passage and therefor its instal ent is downwards and after the car has been lifted up on a ramp.

The location of the mechanism is the greatest advantage of t invention since the car becomes almost inviolable when equipp with and in case of intention to neutralize the system,cuttin the tunnel passage is required either from the inner or under eth where the space is limited due to short margin between c and ground.Additional advantage is the fact that car can be b ked up -onany desired gear(speed)selected bythe owner when ins

ling.Also it should be noted that the system cannot selfoperate while driving avoiding thus any unpleasant problem in changing gear's (speeds)without the owners will.

Important to note that above mechanism can be applied ^'mostly to any car provided access to the transmitting motion shaft bar is feasibly and its related installetion charges and cost are low.

Mode of applicationhereunder followed by description figures for proper achievement.In order to assist you please note that refe- rence numbers on three figures remain the same when it referes to the same items. igure 1 reflects a perspective sight of istaled inactive..mechanism ^* while figure 2 shows a perspective sight of a mechanism istalled and in function. igure3 shows a perspective sight of the mechanism enlarged in relation to:Steady guidingpipe inner movable pipe-outer movable pipe-cylinder lock-safety rose-- tte. igure 1 shows a mechanism composed of a steel floor box(38) which fits downwards in parallel line with tunnel's shape(_5) where back and front sides (39.4-0) follow the shape of tunnel's (4.5) vertical section bearing holes (4.1,4.2) back and front so that the transmitting motion shaft bar(31)passes through he gear box which could be fixed with any selected manner in the passage tunnel (4-5) containing above transmitting motion shaft bar(3l)on top of which a metal blade is fixed (32) perforated in point(33) in parallel opposite position of hook (5)of mechanism vertically ^" placed in connection to the transmitting motion shaft bar(31 )and passes all the way along the tunnel passage* (Λ5)of car and which mechanism is composed of a cylinder lock (28) and an inner mova¬ ble pipe (2) with a fixed cylinder lock(28)at its one end,bearing a dent (26)where the"tongue"(27)of the cylinder lock(28)is loca- ted,which results the free arc shape move of the "tongue"(27) . From one steady guiding pipe (l)fixed on one end (4.4-) of tunnel passage (4-5) and "blind" at the point when a carrying back spiral spring(30) is included and contains the male-female related the inner movable pipe(2) which at the other end (4.3)comes up to the inner of the car by holing the tunnel passage (45)and fixed at this point (4.3)covered at this end (4.3) with safety rosette (29) placed from the inner of the car.The steady guiding pipe(l) has six ellipsoidal sections(7,8,9, 10,11 ,12)where inside them tra-

verse hooks (4., ,6) and a shape "GAMA" (r ) dent (25) where the tongue (27) of the cylinder lock (27) moves, which comes out from the parallel dent (26) of inner movable pipe (2). From on outer movable pipe (3) which surrounds the steady guiding pipe (1) and similary the inner movable pipe (2) as hooks (4,5,6) a fixed on it and when moving they draw along the inner movable pipe (2) , On outer movable pipe (3) and inner movable pipe (2) pass through aforesaid hooks (4-,5, ) in positions (13,14-,15•16 17,18,19,20,21 ,22,23,2 ) where hooks (4-,5,6) are steadily fixe in points (19,20,21,22,23,24.) of outer movable pipe (3), Insid the car through hole (4-3) of tunnel passage (4.5) of the car si multaneously come out the end of inner movable pipe (2), the front part of safety rosette (29) and the top of the cylinder lock (28). Above mechanism is being installed from jinside and underneat the car. Figure 2 shows mechanism in -function so that cylinde lock (28) and especially the inner movable pipe (2) with out movable pipe (3) when mechanically dushed inward and complete the drive the first inside and the other outside the steady guiding pipe (1) and once the tongue (27) of the cylinder loc (28) moves along "GAMA" (T) dent (25) of steady guiding pipe (1 ) has turned round in arc-shaped way taking advantage of pa lel dent (26) existance on inner movable pipe (2) finally ent the top of the described "GAMA" (r) dent (25) locks and insur the system escluding the outwards return the result of this m ve is that hooks (4., 5 , ) being drawn by the two movable pipes, inner movable pipe (2) and outer movable pipe (3) on which ar permanently placed on points (19 _.20,21 ,22,23,24) after coveri ellipsoidal dent's (7,8,9,10,11,12) drive come in to holes (3 36,37) of metal blades (32,3 ,35) resulting thus the inactivi of the transmitting motion shaft bar (31 ) to the gear box and at the same time locking from the bottom the floor box (38) a escluding any change regarding the initiallyselecter gear (sp ed) at the installation and the opening of floor box (38) whi protects the mechanism to be noted that when the system is u locked the carrying back spring (30) pushes automatically out wards hooks (4.,5,6) giving thus possibility of gear(speed) changes. Figure 3 shows an enlarged perspectinve sight of the

A system, safety rosette (29) cylinder lock (28) steady guiding pipe (1), "GAMA" (I") dent (25) of the steady gyiding pipe (1), part of outer muvable pipe (3) , part of inner movable pipe (2) with its parallel dent (26) and the tongue (27) of cylinder lock (28).
