Description

[0001] SECURITY AND DETERRENCE DEVICE TO FRUSTRATE ASSAULTS WHILE MOVING IN A VEHICLE.

[0002] The current invention aims to offer the public an innovative security device, giving vehicle occupants the possibility of creating a cloudy curtain outside the vehicle with NON-LETHAL and NON-POLLUTING material, limiting the visibility of criminals into the vehicle, taking advantage of the seconds of disorientation of the aggressors to escape safely from the danger zone.

[0003] DESCRIPTION AND ADVANTAGES

[0004] The increase in robberies, vandalism, and kidnappings committed against vehicle owners or occupants has led us to the task of creating a deterrent system to curb these criminal acts.

[0005] It offers the following advantages when installed in the vehicle:

[0006] Instant deterrence. - The sudden expulsion of the fluid with microparticles surprises and confuses criminals, drastically reducing the likelihood that they will continue with their attempted robbery.

[0007] Visual obstruction. - The dense atmosphere that forms outside the vehicle will hinder vision through the windows, preventing them from identifying valuables or potential victims.

[0008] Buy time. - The confusion caused by the fluid expulsion will give the vehicle's occupants time to escape while the assailants are disoriented. Alert others. - The hazy atmosphere will be conspicuous and attract the attention of passersby and nearby vehicles, increasing the chances of receiving help or the assailants being seen and apprehended.

[0009] DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0010] The security and deterrent device, also currently known as the "Integrated Wheeled Protection System SIP-SR," which offers the advantage of safely escaping from an assault while traveling in a vehicle, consists of:

[0011] 1. Storage Station

[0012] It is a metal box measuring 58x28x27cm which contains three stainless steel fire extinguisher cylinders, responsible for storing the powdered material, which is composed of Talc, Mineral Powder and Homemade Pepper, then charged with compressed air at a pressure of 13 Bar.

[0013] A 06mm hole is drilled into the upper handle of the valve, allowing a steel cable to pass through. The cable will be secured with a shackle-type bolt, ensuring a grip between the handle and the cable.

[0014] By using two tension cables to open the three valves, we align two cylinders and hold them with a plate to have a common grip; the next end of the tension cables will be attached to a pulley.

[0015] The pulley used for this work does not exist on the market, so a custom design was made and printed using 3D printing technology with PETG material. It will be individually attached to the two motors, which are window lift motors.

[0016] The cylinders will be held in place with the help of stabilizers, which will also serve as support for the engines.

[0017] A pneumatic fitting is placed both on the nozzle of the fire extinguisher valves and on the female thread of the diffusers; this fitting will help to facilitate and safely connect the pneumatic hose responsible for transporting the fluid to the diffusers.

[0018] The pneumatic hose will be channeled with its appropriate protection (corrugated hose) until it reaches the diffuser. Diffusers

[0019] There are no vehicle parts or accessories on the market that help disperse the intended contents outside the vehicle. Therefore, we create unique designs that are 3D printed with PETG material. These are then coated in resin to increase the material's hardness, followed by a refining and automotive painting process. Electrical circuit

[0020] The system is autonomous, with its own power source (battery). This battery will be housed inside a metal box measuring 185x130x85 mm, which will be mounted on the secondary door of the main metal drawer using bolts welded to its vertical profiles and secured with nuts on the other side of the secondary door. Its connection method is identified by three wire colors:

[0021] - Its positive (+) cable, identified with the color red, will first reach a protective fuse; from the fuse output it will continue until it reaches a socket (female type) outside the metal drawer.

[0022] - Its negative (-) cable, identified with the color black, will be connected in parallel, one cable directly to the negative of the motors inside the drawer and the other to the socket (female type) outside the metal drawer.

[0023] - The charging cable identified with the color blue will be connected to the positive terminal of the motors and its other end to the socket (female type).

[0024] For the socket (male type) we will also have the three colors:

[0025] - The red light will reach the input of the switch located on the vehicle's dashboard.

[0026] - The blue color will travel to the switch output and in a parallel direction to a siren located at the front of the vehicle (under the hood).

[0027] - The black wire will travel directly to the negative terminal of the siren.

[0028] This ensures easy assembly and disassembly for the user with respect to the storage station. When the switch is activated, the emergency siren will sound and the motors will start, consequently opening the extinguisher valves and allowing the fluid to flow.

[0042] Figure 1 shows the storage station with all its parts and accessories assembled. The material of the main metal drawer and the metal battery box (8) is carbon steel. Inside the metal drawer are three 4.5 kg stainless steel fire extinguishers (1.3). The extinguisher valves will have 03 / 8” fittings (1.9) on their nozzles. To keep the extinguishers fixed, we use stabilizers. The lower stabilizer (1.5) will not allow axial movement of the cylinders, and the upper stabilizer (1.2) will have two functions: gripping the cylinders by pushing them towards the bottom of the drawer and serving as a support for the electric motors (1.4). The motor pinion will have an undersized pulley (5). To be able to operate two cylinders with a single motor, we use a steel plate (1.6) To obtain a common grip, a steel cable will connect the plate to the pulley of one motor and another cable will connect the valve handle to the next pulley, to fasten the steel cable to the plate and the handle a shackle-type bolt will be used (1.7).

[0043] Figure 2 shows the fender-type diffuser. Its dimensions are: height: 25 mm, width: 40 mm, and length: 95 mm. It has five holes for material expulsion, all pointing in the same direction. Its design and installation method prevent water from entering when it rains or the vehicle is washed. It is used in the installation of the five-point ejection kit and can be adapted to all types of trucks and most vehicles (models may vary for some vehicles). Figure 3 shows the front diffuser. Its dimensions are: height: 19 mm, width: 32 mm, and length: 155 mm. It has five ejection holes: one axial hole for the outlet flow, two holes pointing towards the left (LH) side, and two more towards the right (RH) side of the vehicle's bumper. Its design and installation method prevent water from entering, and as its name indicates, it is installed on the front of the vehicle and is adaptable to all types of cars and trucks.

[0044] Figure 4 shows the aircraft-type diffuser; its dimensions are height: 26 mm, width: 37 mm and length: 220 mm. It contains five holes for ejection and can only be adapted to vehicles that have a tunnel under the doors, and it is used for the installation of the three-point ejection kit.

[0045] Figure 6 shows how the parts are assembled for a five-point ejection kit, highlighting that the fender-type diffusers are located at the bottom of the car's fenders.

[0046] Figure 7 shows how to assemble the parts for a three-point ejection kit, also called a basic kit.
