Benefits of technology

[0008]The principles of the present invention provide for a breathalyzer holder that prevents or reduces embarrassment to a driver or operator of a vehicle equipped with a breathalyzer-interlock system. A breathalyzer holder according to those principles had an opaque body for retaining a breathalyzer having an electrical connection and a b

Problems solved by technology

Driving while drunk or alcohol impaired is almost universally considered to be dangerous activity.
Statistics and scientific studies, combined with common sense and experience, prove that drivers with high blood alcohol concentration (BAC) are at a greatly increased risk of accidents and vehicular deaths.
Despite the foregoing punishments, repeat convictions for drunk driving are frustratingly common.
Breathalyzers have been so successful that courts in some areas will not permit a driver who has been convicted of drunk driving from having a driver's license unless a breathalyzer-interlock system is installed and used on the vehicle they drive.
Furthermore, attempts at defeating or otherwise evading the breathalyzer-interlock system

Note that in the figures that like numbers refer to like elements throughout.

[0017]The principles of the present invention are illustrated herein with reference to FIGS. 1 to 6. Specifically, the principles of the present invention provide for a holder for a breathalyzer. FIG. 1 illustrates a prototypical breathalyzer 10, which is not meant to illustrate any particular breathalyzer, any manufacturer, or any specific model. Rather, it is a generic device having traits common among breathalyzers. However, important to the principles of the present invention is that the prototypical breathalyzer 10 has a blow tube 12 and an electrical connection 1...

Abstract

A breathalyzer holder having an opaque body for retaining a breathalyzer having an electrical connection and a blow-tube. The breathalyzer holder includes a body having a lower hole to allow an electrical cable to pass through the body to electrically connect to the breathalyzer. The breathalyzer holder also includes a lid having an aperture that allows a breathalyzer blow tube to pass through to allow a user to blow into the breathalyzer.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The presently disclosed subject matter is directed towards a device for assisting in the prevention of drunk driving.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Driving while drunk or alcohol impaired is almost universally considered to be dangerous activity. Statistics and scientific studies, combined with common sense and experience, prove that drivers with high blood alcohol concentration (BAC) are at a greatly increased risk of accidents and vehicular deaths.[0003]Over the years law enforcement, legislatures, and courts have given the problem of drunk driving a high priority. Courts routinely suspend or revoke driver licenses of those convicted of drunk driving, vehicles are frequently impounded by law enforcement personnel when they suspect a driver is drunk, some jurisdictions require special vehicle plates after a drunk driving conviction, open container laws are implemented and enforced, high fines are issued, mandatory alcohol education classes are usually ...
