Definitions

the invention relates to a device for monitoring parked vehicles, in particular motor cars in a parking lot. More particularly, the object of the invention is to create a device capable of ensuring the automatic surveillance of vehicles whether or not provided with their own surveillance device, and of reporting any malicious act targeting the vehicle being monitored: attempted break-in, vehicle intrusion, theft, vandalism, etc.
the monitoring device comprises for this purpose a fixed terminal, arranged near a parking space, a movable detector head connected to the fixed terminal by a flexible cable and designed to be able to be fixed temporarily, inviolably , to a vehicle to be monitored so as to detect possible malicious acts of which it would be the object, an electronic control circuit triggering the operation of alarm means specific to the monitoring device in response to detection signals emitted by the detector head or in the event of severing of the connection cable from the latter to said terminal, and a confidential code device making it possible to authorize and inhibit the triggering of the alarm means.
Such a device allows each person coming to park their vehicle nearby to place it under surveillance during their absence. It suffices to subject the detector head of the device to its vehicle and to put the latter into activity (standby situation) by introducing a confidential code. To take back his vehicle, the person forms a second confidential code (preferably identical to the first) which puts the device in a situation of inactivity (or waiting); it can then detach the detector head from the vehicle without the device reacting, and the latter is available to monitor another vehicle.
the detector head has in its structure a part of reduced thickness thanks to which it can be fixed to the vehicle by pinching, at this part, between a fixed element and a mobile element of the vehicle, the operation of this movable element which can be made impossible without break-in to any person not authorized to enter the vehicle.
the above-mentioned fixed element can be a door frame, the movable element being the door received in this frame, or even a window frame, the movable element being a sliding window in this frame.
the lesser thickness of the detector head should be the result of a deep slit which the latter comprises, this slit making it possible to mount the detector head on the edge of the sliding glass.
the detector head may include at least one volumetric ultrasonic or microwave detector (to detect any abnormal movement or displacement inside the vehicle), a shock detector or a change of attitude detector (to detect acts of vandalism and vehicle theft attempts).
the device for authorizing and inhibiting the triggering of the alarm means can be constituted by a keyboard mounted on the terminal and making it possible to introduce an authorization code into the electronic control circuit and an inhibition code in order to place the device in an active standby situation or return it to a standby situation.
the fixed terminal may include a safety lock, the only operation of which, using a special key, makes it possible to stop the operation of the alarm means after they have been activated.
this is done by connecting said terminals at successive points of a single electric cable, which comprises a conductive loop which extends over its entire length and whose opening, revealing a sectioning of the cable, is detected by a control device which then triggers an alarm.
FIG. 1 a fixed terminal 1 with which a vehicle 2 (automobile) is parked.
a terminal 4 is connected to terminal 1 by a twisted cable 3 which can be temporarily secured to the vehicle or, when not in use, placed at rest in 4 ′ on a support 5 secured to terminal 1.
the detector head 4 comprises a U-shaped part 6 on the branches 6a, b of which are fixed externally on the one hand a housing 10 containing a detector 7 and on the other hand a housing 8 of connection to cable 3 and, internally, a pair of blocks 9 of elastic foam offering between them a narrow gap forming a deep slot 24.
the head 4 is thus composed of two relatively large parts, constituted by the housings 8, 10, which are connected by a thin part formed by the bottom 6c of the U-shaped part 6
This structure makes it possible to secure the detection head on the vehicle in an inviolable manner by pinching said thin part between the edge of the sliding glass 11 of one of the doors 14 of the vehicle and the corresponding seal 12 which runs the along the frame 13 of the glass in the door.
the detector 7 is housed in the housing 10 which is inside the vehicle when the detector head 4 is in place.
This detector is intended to detect attempted break-ins or theft of which the parked vehicle 2 is likely to be the object. It can be a volumetric detector (with ultrasonic, infrared or microwave waves) sensitive to the presence of any moving object or person inside the vehicle, or a shock or attitude change detector , sensitive to the movements of the vehicle as a whole which would result from an attempt to tow or remove the vehicle.
a volumetric detector with ultrasonic, infrared or microwave waves
a shock or attitude change detector sensitive to the movements of the vehicle as a whole which would result from an attempt to tow or remove the vehicle.
several detectors of different types will be combined in the detector head 4.
the cable 3 ensures the electrical supply, from terminal 1, of the detector or detectors 7 of the head 4 and the routing towards the terminal 1 of the detection signals possibly emitted by the head 4.
Terminal 1 ( Figure 1) consists of a barrel 21 anchored to the ground by a base 15. On the front face of the barrel 21 appear the support 5 already mentioned, a keyboard 16 with twelve keys, a lock 17 operating using a key, two indicator lights 18, 19 and an information plate 20 for users. At the top of the barrel 21 is mounted a mast 22 carrying at its end a visual alarm device 23 (flashing lamp for example). Terminal 1 also contains an audible alarm device, an electronic control circuit and means of electrical supply or connection to such a supply, not visible in the drawing.
the keyboard 16 connected to the electronic circuit, comprises ten keys marked 0, 1, ... 9 which allow each user to dial a digital code with several digits at the address of the electronic circuit, as well as a validation key V and a cancel key A for the code entered on the keyboard.
the two indicators 18 and 19 are also connected to the electronic circuit.
the indicator 18 is a green indicator, the lighting of which indicates that the monitoring device is available; the indicator 19 is a red indicator which is lit for the entire duration of use of the device.
the electronic circuit can be a known type of circuit ordinarily used in home monitoring devices. It is designed to trigger the operation of the alarm means if the connection cable 3 comes to be cut.
the detector head 4 When a motorist wishes to use the monitoring device for his vehicle 2 parked nearby, he enters, after verifying that the green light 18 is on, the detector head 4 resting on the support 5 and subjects it to the vehicle. To do this, it lowers the glass 11 and straddles the head 4 thereon, which takes place in the slot 24 formed between the elastic blocks 9; then it raises the glass so that the thin part 6c of the head 4 is pinched between the edge of the glass and the seal 12. The detector head 4 is then firmly secured to the vehicle, and cannot be removed without it break-in once locked the vehicle doors.
a monitoring device 1, 3, 4 as described above is installed near each parking space ( Figure 3).
the terminals 1 of these devices are electrically connected to a common cable 25 for connection to a central station 26.
This comprises a supply device composed of a storage battery 27 and a charger 28 connected to the AC sector. by a pair of terminals S and ensuring the charge of the battery 27, which supplies, via two wires 25a, 25b of the cable 25, the DC supply voltage necessary for each monitoring device.
a third wire 25c of the cable 25 routes the alarm signal delivered by the electronic circuit of any of the monitoring devices to the central station 26 and applies this signal to the coil of a relay 29, a contact 29a of which then provides the excitation of an audible alarm means 30, while another contact 29b of this relay applies the voltage of the battery 27 to a pair of terminals P in order to trigger the taking of additional measures such as closing of the gate d access to the car park, switching on of its lighting system, automatic dialing of the telephone number of the nearest police station, etc.
the cable 25 comprises a fourth wire 25d which, with the supply wire 25a, forms a loop extending over the entire length of the cable.
This loop connected in series with the coil of a relay 31, a break contact 31a supplies the alarm means 30, ensures the integrity of the cable 25.
the loop 25a-25d is open, the relay 31 is no longer supplied and its contact 31a closes and controls the operation of the alarm means 30.
the parking manager is immediately notified by the audible alarm means 30 provided in the central station 26.
the alarm means specific to each monitoring device, in particular the flashing light 23, immediately indicate to it which vehicle is the object of malicious maneuvers, so that it can take any appropriate measure to put an end to it. He can then stop the emission of alarm signals by actuating the lock 17 of the corresponding terminal 1 using the special key he has, valid for the locks of all the terminals in the car park. Apart from that, the monitoring devices do not require any intervention from the parking manager.
