Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention fixes the brake pedal or (clutch pedal) of a car by pushing it up from below so that it cannot be depressed, and if the brake pedal or (clutch pedal) cannot be depressed, the engine will not start. This anti-theft device prevents the engine from starting. This structure prevents safe operation by preventing the brake pedal or clutch pedal from being pressed, thereby reducing theft. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, it has been known that the engine of a vehicle is started by depressing the brake pedal or (clutch pedal) to turn on a switch. If the engine cannot be started, the vehicle can be prevented from being stolen. In Patent Document 1, the pedal portion and arm portion of the brake pedal or (clutch pedal) are covered with a cover body, making it impossible to depress the brake pedal or (clutch pedal). [Patent Document 1] Patent 7264567 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0003] By covering the pedal part and arm part of the brake pedal or (clutch pedal) with the cover body, it is possible to prevent the brake pedal or (clutch pedal) from being depressed. However, because the cover for the brake pedal or (clutch pedal) is tightly fitted to prevent gaps, the brake pedal or (clutch pedal), arm, and floor shapes inside the vehicle are all different, which causes differences in size and creates gaps, making it possible to operate the brake pedal or (clutch pedal) with hands, feet, or rod-shaped objects, making it impossible to prevent vehicle theft. [Means for solving the problem]

[0004] In view of the above, the present invention provides an anti-theft device for a vehicle that can fix a brake pedal or (clutch pedal) by pushing up and supporting it from below, thereby making it impossible to operate the brake pedal or (clutch pedal).

[0005] In a vehicle in which a brake pedal or (clutch pedal) consisting of a pedal part and an arm part is arranged in the space inside the vehicle, this is a fixing device that supports the brake pedal or (clutch pedal) from below to prevent it from being depressed, The fixing device is placed on the vehicle floor, and the brake pedal or (clutch pedal) is supported from below by bending the front bent part of the support device all the way to the brake pedal or (clutch pedal), thereby reducing the up / down, left / right, front / back movement of the pedal, making it impossible to operate the brake pedal or (clutch pedal).

[0006] The height of the fixing device, which supports the brake pedal or (clutch pedal), can be adjusted to match the height of the brake pedal or (clutch pedal). The fixing device and the supporting part are in close contact with the floor of the vehicle, and the brake pedal or (clutch pedal) are in close contact with the fixing device and the supporting part, with little gap between them, so they cannot be moved, achieving theft prevention even when you are away from the car. [Effects of the Invention]

[0007] According to the present invention, the brake pedal or (clutch pedal) is supported from below by a fixing device, so that the brake pedal or (clutch pedal) cannot be depressed, the brake pedal or (clutch pedal) cannot be operated, the engine cannot be started, and driving operations using the brakes cannot be performed. When driving a vehicle, it becomes difficult to apply the brake pedal or clutch pedal, making it difficult to drive. The above two patterns can help prevent theft. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0008] [Figure 1] 1 is a perspective view of a fixing device attached to a brake pedal according to an embodiment of the present invention; [Figure 2] Rear view of the fixture with the cover removed and the support part not raised [Figure 3] A perspective view of the fixture with the support part of the fixture not raised [Figure 4] A perspective view of the state in which the height of the support part of the fixture is raised DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0009] An anti-theft device for a vehicle according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIGS. A brake pedal 1 or (clutch pedal) is provided in the vehicle interior, and a fixing device 3 is provided on the floor 2 of the vehicle. It is installed so that the brake pedal 1 or (clutch pedal) cannot be operated to prevent theft of the vehicle.

[0010] As shown in Figure 1, the fixing device 3 is a metal box-shaped device surrounded on all four sides, and has a support device 4 at the top that pushes up and supports the brake pedal 1 from below, and a lever 5 on the left side that raises the height of the support device 4. As shown in Figure 2, with the cover of the fixture removed, when lever 5 is pushed downwards, the half-moon 7 connected to lever 5 pushes up the base of support 4 from below, with each notch representing one step, and the maximum height rise being 35 mm. The underside of the half moon 7 has a jagged shape, and the jagged edges are designed to catch on the stopper 8, fixing the height so that it does not drop, and the support tool 4 can be raised to a position where it comes into close contact with the brake pedal 1 or (clutch pedal) in Figure 1. In addition, auxiliary rollers 9 are attached to the left and right sides of the base of the support tool 4 to prevent the support tool 4 from moving left and right and dispersing the force, so that the force is applied directly downward, and they are completely fixed with stoppers 8. To lower the height of the support 4 as shown in Figures 3 and 4, insert the key into the keyhole 6 on the front side and turn it. This will lower the stopper 8, which is hooked onto the jagged part on the underside of the half-moon 7 connected to the lever 5. This will release the jagged part and allow the support 4 to be lowered.

[0011] As shown in Figure 1, when the fixing device 3 is placed under the brake pedal 1 or (clutch pedal) and on the vehicle floor 2, and the lever on the left side of the fixing device 3 is lowered, the height of the support device 4 rises and is adjusted so that it is closely positioned under the brake pedal 1 or (clutch pedal), the claws on the support device 4 become caught on the brake pedal 1 or (clutch pedal), and there is no gap between the vehicle floor 2, fixing device 3, and support device 4 and the brake pedal 1 or (clutch pedal), making it impossible to move the fixing device 3 and the brake pedal 1 or (clutch pedal). Therefore, the brake pedal 1 or (clutch pedal) cannot be depressed and cannot be operated.

[0012] Even if the vehicle door is unlocked, the brake pedal 1 or (clutch pedal) cannot be operated, Unable to start the engine Also, in the case of vehicles that can start the engine without using the brake pedal 1 or (clutch pedal), Although the vehicle can be driven, it is difficult to stop the vehicle because the brake pedal or (clutch pedal) cannot be operated. In either case, the vehicle can be prevented from being stolen.

[0013] The present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned configuration. As long as the brake pedal 1 or (clutch pedal) can be supported by pushing it up from below and the fixing device 3 does not move, it may be modified into various other shapes in addition to the above-mentioned configurations.

Claims

1. In vehicles where a brake pedal or (clutch pedal) consisting of an arm and pedal is located in the vehicle interior, this fixing device supports the brake pedal or (clutch pedal) by pushing up from below to prevent it from being depressed.The fixing device is placed on the vehicle floor, and the front bent part of the support device is bent all the way around the brake pedal or (clutch pedal) to support it from below, thereby fixing it to the pedal and reducing its movement up and down, left and right, and front and back.By tightly tightening the brake pedal and the floor part under the brake pedal, the friction is further increased, making it difficult to remove. The height of the support part that supports from below can be adjusted, and the floor inside the vehicle and the fixing device, and the support part and the brake pedal or (clutch pedal) are in close contact with each other. Furthermore, an auxiliary roller is used to prevent the support part from moving left and right, and by applying force directly below, there is little gap and it is impossible to operate the brake or clutch. This is an anti-theft device for automobiles.

2. In order to lower the support, the fixing device requires the stopper to be released with a cylinder lock, so unless the cylinder lock is used to release the stopper, the fixing device must be forcibly pulled out or destroyed. However, the invention of claim 1 is characterized by the fact that the upper part of the support is bent left and right and forward, so that the brake pedal or (clutch pedal) is pinched in and stretched, and the fixing part in contact with the floor below the brake pedal has a stronger friction force, so the brake pedal cannot be moved unless it is destroyed with a tool, making it difficult to prevent theft even when away from the car.
