    摘要: The invention relates to a driveshaft lock (10) and to a method (50) of retrofitting the driveshaft lock to a vehicle. The driveshaft lock (10) includes a rotor (17) which defines a star-shaped central aperture (20) which is configured to receive a non-circular, peripheral profile of a drive flange (13) therethrough such that the rotor (17) is configured to piggyback on the drive flange (13). The lock (10) includes a locking member (21) which is configured selectively to engage the rotor (17) in order to lock the rotor in position and prevent angular displacement thereof. Amongst other steps, the method (50) includes aligning the aperture (20) of the rotor with the profile of the drive flange, passing the rotor over the drive flange, rotating the rotor relative to the drive flange, and securing the rotor to the drive flange for rotation together with the drive flange, piggyback-style.

    摘要: An anti-theft device 10 is operatively connected to a vehicle drivetrain, downstream of a power plant. To this end, a gear 12 is mounted for rotation together with a driveshaft 13. The device 10 further includes a pivotally mounted locking pawl 17 which is movable relative to the gear 12 between an open position in which a profiled head 18 of the pawl 17 is spaced away from a periphery of the gear 12 such that the gear 12 is permitted to rotate freely together with the driveshaft 13, and a locked position, in which the profiled head 18 of the pawl 17 engages the gear 12 and prevents rotation thereof, thereby locking the driveshaft 13 in position. The device includes an actuator 23 and ECU 22 in a tamper-proof casing 27. The ECU controls engagement of the pawl depending upon a position of a handbrake and ignition switch.

    摘要: A start switch device includes a start button configured to send a command to start or stop a vehicle drive device, a biometric sensor arranged on the start button for reading a biometric information of an operator to operate an operating surface of the start button, a light source configured to emit an illuminating light from an inside of the start button toward the operating surface, and a design part arranged around the biometric sensor on the operating surface and configured to define a design on the operating surface by the illuminating light transmitted therethrough.
