Title:
A NEW TYPE OF AUTOMOBILE ANTI-THEFT DEVICE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2003033302
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
An automobile anti-theft device that has its parts straddling over the spoke(s) of a steering wheel, with one side tightly wrapped around by the device. Traditional steering wheel lock, such as the trademarked product The Club (R), PTO registration number 1872404, allows a maximum of two cuts on the steering wheel to remove the anti-theft device and thus is not a very effective theft deterrent. Current anti-theft device eliminates the two-cuts easy steal because one side of the steering wheel is completely wrapped around, allowing no cuts to be made by the would-be-thieves. Theft can only be attained by extreme force to break current device, destroying the key/lock mechanism, or chopping away the steering wheel from the steering column.
