BURGLARPROOF SYSTEM FOR AUTOMOTIVE VEHICLE

摘要

A burglarproof system for automotive vehicle is disclosed which precludes a burglar from improperly starting engine of automotive vehicle using a duplicate key or short-circuiting a starter circuit. First and second embodiments of the invention have a magnetic card (7) having a plurality of permanent magnets buried therein and representing a predetermined password, and a card reader (6) reading the poles and arrangement of the permanent magnets appearing on the upper surface of the magnetic card. The card reader of the first embodiment reads the password in a static reading mode. The card reader of the second embodiment reads the password during movement of the magnetic card. A password comparator (8) of the burglarproof system of the first and second embodiment compares the password of the magnetic card with the predetermined password. A coincidence signal from the comparator establishes an electric circuit required for starting the engine of automotive vehicle. In a third embodiment of the invention, a terminal cover made of insulator and covering the starter switch terminal and an electric wire from an electric battery are screwed to an end surface of a pull switch having a starter switch terminal and a battery connecting terminal both extending from the surface. A second starter switch terminal passes through the terminal cover. A double-core electric wire having a sheath grounded to the body of automotive vehicle passes into the terminal cover. One end of one core of the double-core electric wire is connected with the starter switch terminal and one end of the other core is connected with the second starter switch terminal. The other end of the both cores is connected with a switch of the burglarproof system.
