20090007611 | ELECTROMECHANICAL DEVICE FOR LOCKING THE GEARBOX SELECTOR OF A VEHICLE, AND A METHOD FOR ITS OPERATION - An electromechanical vehicle theft protection device for the vehicle of a user. The device includes a screw feed nut, which extends and retracts along a screw feed bolt. The device also includes a geared motor, operable to pull and push said screw feed nut and a flexible metal cable operable to pull and push along a metal tube, thereby extending and retracting a locking pin in and out of the metal tube, and thereby releasing and blocking the gear shift selector of the vehicle, wherein the electromechanical vehicle theft protection device is mounted under the hood of the vehicle, such that access to and defeat of the electromechanical vehicle theft protection device is difficult. | 01-08-2009 |
20090249845 | AUTOMOBILE GEARSHIFT LEVER LOCK ASSEMBLY - An automobile gearshift lever lock includes an outer decorative cover, a latch, a lock, a coupling element, and a steel mounting plate. The lock includes a core and a securing mechanism. The lock is housed, around an outer circumference thereof, by a lock shell. The coupling element forms an open channel. The lock shell is fit into the open channel of the coupling element and fit over the lock to form a unitary device, which can be mounted to the mounting plate by various means. Opposite sides of the lock are protected by protection members. The core is provided, on a front surface thereof, with a protective face plate. As such, the mechanical strength of the lock is enhanced and the lock can be protected against any damage to thereby reduce the chance of automobile burglary. | 10-08-2009 |

20100132417 | KEY INTERLOCK FOR USE IN VEHICLES - A key interlock system for use in a vehicle may include a start key having a locking groove and inserted into a start key receiving groove formed in an operating knob which is rotatably received in a switch box, a stopper selectively connecting the switch box with the start key, wherein the stopper includes a body configured to be inserted into the locking groove of the switch key through the switch box and the operating knob, an elastic member resiliently supporting the stopper in a direction against the operating knob, and an actuator generating an operating force to the stopper against an elastic force of the elastic member to selectively insert the stopper into the locking groove of the start key when a shift lever is in any position except for a parking position and the start key is rotated from an ON position to an ACC position. | 06-03-2010 |
20100326148 | METHOD FOR AUTOMATICALLY ENGAGING A PARKING LOCK OF AN AUTOMATIC OR AUTOMATED GEARBOX OF A MOTOR VEHICLE - A method of automatically engaging a parking lock or an automatic or automated gearbox of a motor vehicle, which can be engaged depending on a drive position selected by the driver of the motor vehicle, by way of a selector device and depending on other operating parameters. In order to achieve as little restriction of the drivability of the motor vehicle as possible, without neglecting the safety of the driver and surroundings, two different complex embodiments of an Auto_P function for automatically engaging the parking lock are proposed, if the motor vehicle is at least approximately stopped and, at the same time, an ignition circuit acting on the drive motor of the motor vehicle is electrically interrupted. | 12-30-2010 |
