Abstract
Description
Title of the invention: Denver clog Technical field
[0001] The present application relates to a Denver wheel chock, of the type which can be attached to the wheels of a vehicle for immobilization thereof and which includes security and monitoring measures which detect unauthorized opening. State of the art
[0002] In the state of the art, the existence of Denver shoes is known, which are arranged on the edge of a wheel in order to prevent the wheel from rotating 360° and the vehicle from moving. These Denver shoes have a jaw shape, with two concave arms that surround the rim and which, with their ends, prevent the direct extraction of the shoe. The arms must be separated to be able to extract the Denver shoe. To monitor who performs the opening, a lock prevents the separation of the arms. An example is shown in ES0226433U, where the arms are curved and the central body is wedge-shaped.
[0003] Unauthorized opening of the Denver shoe is complicated, but not impossible with the right equipment. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure that the rupture of the Denver shoe is immediately reported so that action can be taken.
[0004] The applicant does not know of any system that would solve all of these problems as effectively as the invention. Brief explanation of the invention
[0005] The invention consists of a Denver shoe, variants of which solve the problems of the state of the art.
[0006] The invention is a Denver shoe of a type comprising two arms connected by a central body and secured by means of a lock, comprising an audible alarm in the event of unauthorized opening.
[0007] In the preferred embodiment, the alarm comprises a control module, a battery, a speaker and a motion sensor, and the control module is configured to activate the alarm after a period of time following the detection of motion. Opening the lock stops the process.
[0008] Other variations are presented in the rest of the report. Description of figures
[0009] To better understand the invention, the following figures are included, showing exemplary embodiments.
[0010] [Fig. 1] Exploded view drawing of an exemplary embodiment. Embodiments of the invention
[0011] The following is a brief description of one embodiment of the invention, by way of illustrative and non-limiting example thereof.
[0012] The Denver shoe shown in the embodiment comprises a two-armed clamp (1,2) extending from a central body (3). The body (3) shown comprises two parts which move against each other, each attached to an arm (1,2). The separation of the two arms (1,2) is controlled by a lock (4). The material of the Denver shoe is very strong, for example steel, to ensure that it does not break easily.
[0013] The Denver shoe also has an alarm (5) consisting of a battery, a control device and one or more speakers. If the control device detects an unauthorized opening attempt, it triggers the alarm by activating the speakers.
[0014] To detect unauthorized opening, a motion sensor, such as an accelerometer, may be used to detect vibration and movement. For this purpose, it detects if any movement or vibration exceeds a predetermined value (in amplitude or frequency), and then considers it to be manipulation. In this case, a countdown is started to trigger the alarm (5). If the user opens the Denver shoe by the lock (4) before the end of the countdown, the alarm (5) is stopped. The countdown may be indicated by a flashing of one or more LEDs or a series of beeps.
[0015] The alarm (5) is activated by closing the Denver shoe and pushing a button. To deactivate it, simply open the Denver shoe with the correct key. For example, if the Denver shoe is placed near a hospital, it is possible to close it without triggering the alarm by not pressing the button.
Claims
Claims
1. Denver shoe, comprising two arms (1, 2) connected by a central body (3) and secured by means of a lock (4), comprising an audible alarm (5) in the event of unauthorized opening.
2. A Denver clog according to claim 1, wherein an alarm (5) comprises a control module, a battery, a speaker and a motion sensor, and the control module is configured to activate the alarm (5) after a period of time following the detection of motion if the lock (4) is not opened.
