Abstract

The invention relates to a device allowing, by dissuasion, the theft of car radios to be made impossible. It comprises a lever 1 welded to a spring 2 integral with a pin 3 fixed to the casing, a projection 4 under the right-hand end, and a stop 6 equipped with a spring 7 on the internal wall of the casing 5. Under the projection, there is a phial 8 of acid or of mercury, in a barrel 9, or an explosive fuse. An orifice 10 allows the rod 11 fixed under the facade-concealing element 12 to be introduced. The car radio is mounted in the cut-out 13, an orifice 14 allows the rod 11 to retract the stop and hold the projection away from the phial while the facade-concealing element is positioned. In order to take the car radio, the thief will have to remove the facade-concealing element, thus freeing the lever whose projection will break the phial or will strike the fuse and will irreparably destroy the circuit. The dissuasion effect of the device according to the invention is obtained by drawing attention to its presence.

Description

La presente invention concerne un dispositif antivol pour autoradio ermettant de dissuader l'éventuel voleur à le voler. The present invention relates to an anti-theft device for a radio allowing to deter the possible thief from stealing it.

Un nombre impressionnant d'autoradios sont volés chaque année, sans qu' aucun dispositif actuel n'est réussi d'en réduire l'importance. An impressive number of car radios are stolen each year, without any current device being successful in reducing their importance.

nes dispositifs connus, l'alarme sonore installée à bord d'un véhicule, n'a nas amélioré cette situation, à cause principalement, des nuisances sonores qu'elle provoque habituellement et quelques fois même de manière intemn estive en raison de son manque de fiabilité, lui ôtant tout effet de dissuason. nes known devices, the audible alarm installed on board a vehicle, has not improved this situation, mainly because of the noise pollution which it usually causes and sometimes even in a compensatory manner due to its lack of reliability, removing any deterrent effect.

D'autres disnositifs consistent à loger l'autoradio dans un botter amo vible permettant son retrait. Ces dispositifs, pour être efficaces en toutes circonstances, obligent l'utilisateur à se charger du poste qu'il veut protéger du vol, chaque fois qu'il quitte sa voiture. Cette lourde contrainte deviendra vite insunportable et il y renoncera. Other devices consist of housing the radio in a removable botter allowing its removal. These devices, to be effective in all circumstances, oblige the user to take charge of the position he wants to protect from theft, each time he leaves his car. This heavy constraint will quickly become unsustainable and he will give it up.

Le dispositif selon l'invention permet d'éviter ces inconvénients an dissuadant le voleur de prendre le risque inutile de s'approprier frauduleusement un autoradio mis, par lui mena en le démontant pour le prendre, définitivement hors d'usage, sans valeur. The device according to the invention makes it possible to avoid these drawbacks an dissuading the thief from taking the unnecessary risk of fraudulently appropriating a car radio put, by him led by dismantling it to take it, definitively out of order, worthless.

tuais cet effet de dissuasion ne sera obtenu que si le voalur est largement averti et informé, par la publicité et la marque distinctive gravée sur le noste et les vitres du véhicule, de l1existence du dispositif selon l'invention. killing this deterrent effect will only be obtained if the voalur is widely warned and informed, by advertising and the distinctive mark engraved on the noste and the windows of the vehicle, of the existence of the device according to the invention.

Tl comnorte en effet une serrure de grande sûreté qui remplace, dans ses fonctions, la commande gauche habituelle de l'autoradio et permet ainsi, par l'intermédiaire d'un axe de transmission solidaire de l'extrémité intérieure du barillet, d'actionner, par couplage, l'interrupteur-potentiomètre qui assure habituellement la mise en service et le réglage du volume sonore du poste, lorsque la clé introduite dans la serrure est tournée dans le sens des aiguilles d'une montre. Tl indeed includes a very secure lock which replaces, in its functions, the usual left control of the car radio and thus allows, via a transmission axis integral with the inner end of the barrel, to activate , by coupling, the switch-potentiometer which usually ensures the commissioning and the adjustment of the sound volume of the station, when the key inserted in the lock is turned clockwise.

La serrure nermet aussi de vérouiller le bottier grâce à une petite iace d'acier en forme d'éauerre, montée perpendiculaire à la partie libre de l'axe, au-dessus de l'interrupteur qu'elle déborde, de sorte qu'elle vienne en butée sur deux petites saillies fixées, à cet effet, sur la paroi interne latérale gauche et la face interne du bottier lorsque le poste. est arrêté et la clé retirée. The lock also allows to lock the bootmaker thanks to a small steel square in the shape of a square, mounted perpendicular to the free part of the axis, above the switch that it overflows, so that it comes into abutment on two small projections fixed, for this purpose, on the left lateral internal wall and the internal face of the shoemaker when the post. is stopped and the key removed.

La façade du boîtier comporte un rebord externe de 3 mm lui permettant de nieux s'emboîter au corns lui même. The front of the case has an external rim of 3 mm allowing it to fit nieux to the horn itself.

selon une variante plus élaborée la commande habituelle est encore remplacée par un clavier à touches numérotées qui armet la mise en service et l'arrêt de l'autoradio arâce à un interrupteur électronique oui ne réait qu'au numéro de code nersonnel composé sue le clavier. according to a more elaborate variant, the usual command is still replaced by a keyboard with numbered keys which arms the starting and stopping of the car radio by means of an electronic switch yes, only with the number of nersonnal code dialed on the keyboard .

Le réglage du volume sonore s'effectue par deux autres touches augmentant ou diminuant le son par simnle pression. The volume is adjusted by two other keys increasing or decreasing the sound by simple pressure.

La figure 1 représente, en coupe, le dispositif selon l'invention. Figure 1 shows, in section, the device according to the invention.

Le dispositif représenté sur la figure 1 comporte une serrure de sûreté (1) nui permet, par l'întermédiare d'un axe de transmission (2) solidaire de l'extrémité intérieure du barillet (3) d'actionner, par couplage, l'interrupteur-potentiometre (4). The device represented in FIG. 1 comprises a safety lock (1) which allows, by the intermediary of a transmission axis (2) integral with the inner end of the barrel (3) to actuate, by coupling, the 'switch-potentiometer (4).

Une petite piéce d'acier (5) en forme d'équerre permet de vérouiller le boîtier en se plaçant sous deux petites saillies (6) fixées sur la paroi interne latérale gauche et la face interne du bottier lorsque le poste est arrêté et la clé (7) retirée. A small steel piece (5) in the form of a square allows the box to be locked by placing itself under two small projections (6) fixed on the left lateral internal wall and the internal face of the shoemaker when the station is stopped and the key (7) withdrawn.

Le dispositif selon l'invention est particulièrement destiné à protéger du vol les autoradios par l'effet de dissuasion qu'il crée sur les voleurs largement informés de son existence par la publicité. The device according to the invention is particularly intended to protect car radios from theft by the deterrent effect it creates on thieves widely informed of its existence by advertising.
