Description

La présente invention concerne un anti-vol pour motocyclettes, bicyclettes et véhicules similaires, motorisés ou non, généralement désignés sous l'appellation «deux roues», ainsi que pour des accessoires ou objets personnels, notamment pour les casques de protection des motocyclistes, cet anti-vol étant du genre comprenant un support scellé dans le sol, un moyen mobile lié directement ou indirectement audit support et apte à enserrer une partie du véhicule comme par exemple la roue ou la fourche, un coffre porte-objets monté sur le même support, et des moyens de fermeture et de verrouillage aptes à assurer simultanément le blocage de l'ouverture du coffre porte-objets et du moyen mobile enserrant une partie du véhicule.The present invention relates to an anti-theft device for motorcycles, bicycles and similar vehicles, motorized or not, generally referred to as "two wheels", as well as for accessories or personal objects, in particular for the protective helmets of motorcyclists, this anti-theft being of the type comprising a support sealed in the ground, a mobile means linked directly or indirectly to said support and capable of enclosing a part of the vehicle such as for example the wheel or the fork, a storage compartment mounted on the same support , and closing and locking means capable of simultaneously blocking the opening of the storage compartment and the movable means enclosing a part of the vehicle.

Un anti-vol conçu selon ce principe est déjà décrit par le US-A-4080 020. Ce genre d'anti-vol se révèle particulièrement efficace, puisqu'il relie le véhicule au sol, contrairement aux anti-vols classiques qui sont simplement constitués par des entraves visant à empêcher la rotation des roues ou de l'organe de direction du véhicule, mais n'interdisant pas de déplacer le véhicule et de le charger par exemple à l'intérieur d'un véhicule de transport. En outre, ce genre d'anti-vol permet non seulement de garer en toute sécurité les véhicules à deux roues, mais aussi d'entreposer des accessoirs ou objets personnels, en évitant également le vol de ces derniers; ainsi, cet anti-vol vise plus particulièrement les motocyclistes, qui possèdent habituellement un équipement: casque de protection, gants, combinaison de pluie, devenant encombrants dès que leur propriétaire laisse son véhicule en stationnement.An anti-theft designed according to this principle is already described by US-A-4080 020. This type of anti-theft proves to be particularly effective, since it connects the vehicle to the ground, unlike conventional anti-theft which are simply constituted by barriers intended to prevent the rotation of the wheels or of the vehicle's steering member, but not preventing the vehicle from being moved and loaded for example inside a transport vehicle. In addition, this type of anti-theft not only makes it possible to safely park two-wheeled vehicles, but also to store accessories or personal items, also preventing them from being stolen; thus, this anti-theft is more particularly aimed at motorcyclists, who usually have equipment: protective helmet, gloves, rain suit, becoming bulky as soon as their owner leaves his vehicle parked.

Toutefois le brevet US mentionné ci-dessus réalise le moyen mobile, apte à enserrer une partie du véhicule, sous la forme d'une chaîne re- couverte d'une gaine, qui peut être sectionnée d'une manière relativement facile par effet de rupture mécanique, à moins de donner aux maillons de la chaîne une section très importante. Par ailleurs, ce document ne révèle aucune solution concrète, en ce qui concerne la réalisation des moyens de fermeture et de verouillage aptes à assurer simultanément le blocage de l'ouverture du coffre porte-objets et du moyen mobile enserrant une partie du véhicule.However, the above-mentioned US patent produces the mobile means, capable of enclosing a part of the vehicle, in the form of a chain covered with a sheath, which can be cut relatively easily by breaking effect. mechanical, unless you give the chain links a very large section. Furthermore, this document does not reveal any concrete solution, as regards the production of the closing and locking means capable of simultaneously ensuring the blocking of the opening of the object box and of the mobile means enclosing part of the vehicle.

Le NL-A-76 02569, qui décrit lui aussi un dispositif constituant anti-vol pour véhicules à deux roues, avec un coffre permettant le rangement d'objets tels qu'un casque, suggère l'utilisation d'un simple cadenas comme moyen de verrouillage. L'anneau d'un cadenas peut aussi être sectionné assez facilement par effet de rupture mécanique. De plus, cette demande de brevet néerlandais ne prévoit pas que le cadenas verrouille directement le moyen enserrant une partie du véhicule, ce qui conduit à une réalisation complexe et d'utilisation peu commode.NL-A-76 02569, which also describes an anti-theft device for two-wheeled vehicles, with a chest allowing the storage of objects such as a helmet, suggests the use of a simple padlock as a means lock. The ring of a padlock can also be cut quite easily by mechanical breaking effect. In addition, this Dutch patent application does not provide that the padlock directly locks the means enclosing a part of the vehicle, which leads to a complex embodiment and inconvenient use.

La présente invention vise à remédier à l'ensemble des inconvénients indiqués ci-dessus, en perfectionnant à la fois la structure des moyens de fermeture et de verrouillage et des moyens enserrant une partie du véhicule, pour une sécurité améliorée et une plus grande commodité d'utilisation.The present invention aims to remedy all the drawbacks indicated above, by improving both the structure of the closing and locking means and the means enclosing a part of the vehicle, for improved safety and greater convenience. 'use.

A cet effet, l'invention a essentiellement pour objet un anti-vol du genre rappelé en introduction, dans lequel les moyens de fermeture et de verrouillage, aptes à assurer simultanément le blocage de l'ouverture du coffre porte-objets et du moyen mobile enserrant une partie du véhicule, sont constitués par un barillet de sécurité à clé, enlevable de façon répétitive, dont la mise en place assure, après retrait de la clé, le blocage de l'ouverture du coffre et du moyen mobile, ainsi que l'immobilisation du barillet lui-même sur l'anti-vol. Ainsi, l'utilisateur n'a plus à se charger d'une chaîne encombrante, ou autre moyen de ce genre; un simple élément de serrure, à savoir un barillet de sécurité avec sa clé, lui suffit. Les barillets en question seront par exemple vendus dans le commerce, avec des combinaisons de clés nombreuses, et seront adaptés pour tous les anti-vols installés par exemple dans la même ville. Il est à noter encore que le barillet, affleurant la partie de l'anti-vol dans laquelle il vient se loger, ne présente, lorsqu'il est mis en place et immobilisé sur l'anti-vol, aucune prise permettant de l'arracher, de le rompre ou de le détériorer, contrairement à un cadenas.To this end, the subject of the invention is essentially an anti-theft device of the type mentioned in the introduction, in which the closing and locking means, capable of simultaneously blocking the opening of the object-box and the movable means enclosing a part of the vehicle, are constituted by a security barrel with key, which can be removed repeatedly, the installation of which ensures, after removal of the key, the blocking of the opening of the boot and of the mobile means, as well as the immobilization of the barrel itself on the anti-theft device. Thus, the user no longer has to take care of a bulky chain, or other means of this kind; a simple lock element, namely a security barrel with its key, is enough. The barrels in question will, for example, be sold commercially, with numerous key combinations, and will be suitable for all anti-theft devices installed, for example in the same city. It should also be noted that the barrel, flush with the part of the anti-theft in which it is housed, has, when it is put in place and immobilized on the anti-theft, no socket allowing the tear off, break or damage it, unlike a padlock.

Suivant une première forme de réalisation de l'invention, le moyen mobile, apte à enserrer une partie du véhicule, est un bras rigide de forme recourbée, monté libre en rotation, la partie de ce bras opposée à son axe de pivotement comportant au moins une découpe ou un trou pour recevoir les moyens de fermeture et de verrouillage constitués par le barillet enlevable, avec un profil correspondant à celui de ce barillet. De préférence, le bras est solidaire d'une porte de fermeture du coffre porte-objets, montée pivotante suivant un axe horizontal, l'extrémité libre de ce bras venant se verrouiller sur le support. En même temps que l'utilisateur referme la porte du coffre, pour interdire l'accès aux objets rangés dans ce dernier, le bras de forme recourbée vient traverser par exemple une roue du véhicule pour immobiliser ce dernier. La mise en place des moyens de fermeture et de verrouillage, bloquant l'extrémité libre du bras sur le support, retient le véhicule et empêche simultanément l'ouverture de la porte du coffre. Le support comporte avantageusement une ouverture pour la pénétration de ces moyens de fermeture et de verrouillage constitués par le barillet enlevable, avec un profil correspondant à celui du barillet, ladite ouverture coïncidant avec la découpe ou le trou de l'extrémité du bras, en position de fermeture.According to a first embodiment of the invention, the mobile means, capable of enclosing a part of the vehicle, is a rigid arm of curved shape, mounted free in rotation, the part of this arm opposite its pivot axis comprising at least a cutout or a hole for receiving the closing and locking means constituted by the removable barrel, with a profile corresponding to that of this barrel. Preferably, the arm is secured to a door for closing the object box, pivotally mounted along a horizontal axis, the free end of this arm coming to lock on the support. At the same time as the user closes the trunk door, to prevent access to the objects stored in the latter, the curved arm comes, for example, through a wheel of the vehicle to immobilize the latter. The installation of the closing and locking means, blocking the free end of the arm on the support, retains the vehicle and simultaneously prevents the opening of the trunk door. The support advantageously comprises an opening for the penetration of these closing and locking means constituted by the removable barrel, with a profile corresponding to that of the barrel, said opening coinciding with the cutout or the hole at the end of the arm, in position closing.

Cette première forme de réalisation, dans laquelle un bras rigide enserre le véhicule, est particulièrement résistante mais peut présenter quelques inconvénients: l'introduction du bras au travers d'une roue du véhicule peut être difficile, voire impossible, en fonction de l'espacement entre les rayons de la roue, ou di diamètre de la roue; par ailleurs, si ce bras traverse seulement la roue avant du véhicule, un voleur peut éventuellement démonter cette roue avant pour emporter le restant du véhicule.This first embodiment, in which a rigid arm encloses the vehicle, is particularly resistant but can have some drawbacks: the introduction of the arm to the across a vehicle wheel can be difficult, even impossible, depending on the spacing between the spokes of the wheel, or the diameter of the wheel; moreover, if this arm crosses only the front wheel of the vehicle, a thief may possibly disassemble this front wheel to take away the rest of the vehicle.

Ce genre d'inconvénients est supprimé dans une seconde forme de réalisation de l'invention, suivant laquelle le moyen mobile, apte à enserrer une partie du véhicule, est un câble, dont une extrémité est prisonnière du support ou du coffre porte-objets, et dont l'autre extrémité est mobile mais susceptible d'être retenue par la fermeture d'une porte du coffre porte-objets, cette porte comportant au moins une découpe ou un trou recevant les moyens de fermeture et de verrouillage constitués par le barillet enlevable, avec un profil correspondant à celui de ce barillet. Le câble, plus fin et plus souple qu'un bras ridige, pourra être facilement introduit entre les rayons d'une roue de diamètre quelconque, et aussi à travers une autre partie du véhicule à deux roues, par exemple la fourche, ce qui évitera les difficultés et les risques indiqués plus haut dans le cas d'un bras. Le choix d'un câble augmente aussi la sécurité: étant formé d'une multitude de brins, un câble métallique s'écrase sous les mors d'un outil, et il est très difficile à sectionner; une chaîne de même résistance aurait, de toute façon, des maillons d'une grosseur beaucoup plus importante que celle du câble. En outre, le câble peut être facilement enrobé d'une gaine de protection et de propreté.This type of drawback is eliminated in a second embodiment of the invention, according to which the movable means, capable of enclosing a part of the vehicle, is a cable, one end of which is trapped in the support or the object-carrying chest, and the other end of which is movable but capable of being retained by the closing of a door of the storage compartment, this door comprising at least one cutout or a hole receiving the closing and locking means constituted by the removable barrel , with a profile corresponding to that of this barrel. The cable, thinner and more flexible than a steerable arm, can be easily introduced between the spokes of a wheel of any diameter, and also through another part of the two-wheeled vehicle, for example the fork, which will avoid the difficulties and risks indicated above in the case of an arm. The choice of a cable also increases safety: being made up of a multitude of strands, a metal cable is crushed under the jaws of a tool, and it is very difficult to cut; in any case, a chain of the same resistance would have links of a much larger size than that of the cable. In addition, the cable can be easily coated with a protective and cleanliness sheath.

Avantageusement, pour éviter que le câble ne pende à l'extérieur, lorsque l'anti-vol n'est pas utilisé, celui-ci traverse la paroi du support et est susceptible de se loger entièrement à l'intérieur de ce support, son extrémité prisonnière du support comportant un contrepoids. Quant à l'autre extrémité du câble, elle peut comporter simplement un embout, destiné à être placé dans un logement prévu sur le bord de l'ouverture du coffre porte-objets, de manière à pouvoir être retenu par la porte en position fermée. Ainsi, la fermeture et le verrouillage de la porte assurent l'immobilisation de la seconde extrémité du câble, donc la retenue du véhicule. Suivant un mode d'exécution particulier, la porte est munie d'une patte latérale comportant au moins une découpe ou un trou recevant les moyens de fermeture et de verrouillage constitués par le barillet enlevable, ladite patte étant engageable dans un logement comportant encore une ouverture qui coïncide avec la découpe ou le trou, en position de fermeture de la porte, pour la pénétration du barillet, la découpe ou le trou et l'ouverture ayant un profil correspondant à celui du barillet.Advantageously, to prevent the cable from hanging outside, when the anti-theft device is not used, it crosses the wall of the support and is capable of being housed entirely inside this support, its captive end of the support comprising a counterweight. As for the other end of the cable, it may simply comprise a ferrule, intended to be placed in a housing provided on the edge of the opening of the object-box, so as to be able to be retained by the door in the closed position. Thus, closing and locking the door immobilizes the second end of the cable, therefore retaining the vehicle. According to a particular embodiment, the door is provided with a lateral tab comprising at least one cutout or a hole receiving the closing and locking means constituted by the removable barrel, said tab being able to be engaged in a housing further comprising an opening. which coincides with the cutout or the hole, in the closed position of the door, for the penetration of the barrel, the cutout or the hole and the opening having a profile corresponding to that of the barrel.

En positionnant les véhicules à deux roues en des points précis, puisqu'il les relie au sol, l'anti-vol selon l'invention, dont les caractéristiques viennent d'être définies, permet par ailleurs un stationnement ordonné de ces véhicules, par exemple le long d'un trottoir ou sur une aire de stationnement, où seraient installés en grand nombre de tels anti-vols. En outre, par son installation sur la voie publique, l'anti-vol objet de l'invention appartient au «mobilier urbain» et il peut ainsi servir de support publicitaire. Le coffre porte-objets est particulièrement adapté pour recevoir de la publicité, sur une ou plusieurs de ses faces.By positioning two-wheeled vehicles at specific points, since it connects them to the ground, the anti-theft device according to the invention, the characteristics of which have just been defined, also allows orderly parking of these vehicles, by example along a sidewalk or on a parking area, where such anti-theft devices would be installed in large numbers. In addition, by its installation on public roads, the anti-theft object of the invention belongs to "urban furniture" and it can thus serve as an advertising medium. The storage compartment is particularly suitable for receiving advertising, on one or more of its faces.

De toute façon, l'invention sera mieux comprise à l'aide de la description qui suit, en référence au dessin schématique annexé représentant, à titre d'exemples, quelques formes d'exécution de cet anti-vol pour motocyclettes, bicyclettes et similaires:

A son sommet, le pied-support 1 comporte une platine horizontale 4, sur laquelle est fixé un coffre de rangement 5 de forme parallélépipédique allongée, divisé par une cloison médiane verticale 6 en deux casiers 7. Le coffre 5 est ouvert à ses deux extrémités, où sont prévues des portes 8 montées pivotantes suivant des axes horizontaux 9.The anti-theft device shown in FIG. 1 comprises a tubular support leg 1, the base of which is sealed in a concrete base 2, itself embedded in the ground 3. At its top, the support leg 1 comprises a horizontal plate 4, on which is fixed a storage box 5 of elongated parallelepiped shape, divided by a vertical central partition 6 into two compartments 7. The box 5 is open at its two ends, where doors 8 are pivotally mounted according to horizontal axes 9.

L'anti-vol de la figure 1 comprend deux câbles en acier 10, qui traversent le pied-support tubulaire 1 par des ouvertures prévues à la partie supérieure de ce dernier. L'extrémité de chaque câble 10 qui est logée à l'intérieur du pied-support 1 comporte un contrepoids 11, tandis que l'autre extrémité, située à l'extérieur, comporte un embout 12. Chaque câble 10 est associé à l'un des casiers 7.The anti-theft device of FIG. 1 comprises two steel cables 10, which pass through the tubular support leg 1 through openings provided in the upper part of the latter. The end of each cable 10 which is housed inside the support leg 1 has a counterweight 11, while the other end, located outside, has a ferrule 12. Each cable 10 is associated with the one of the lockers 7.

Comme le monte plus particulièrement la figure 3, le bord inférieur de l'ouverture du casier 7 possède un logement 13, destiné à recevoir l'embout 12 du câble 10 correspondant. La porte 8 est munie d'une patte latérale 14 avec un trou 15, correspondant au profil d'un barillet enlevable 16 avec clé 17. Le coffre 5 comporte une fente 18 servant de logement pour la patte 14, ce logement étant accessible aussi par une ouverture 19, située sur la face avant du coffre 5 et correspondant au profil du brillet enlevable 16.As shown more particularly in FIG. 3, the lower edge of the opening of the crate 7 has a housing 13, intended to receive the end piece 12 of the corresponding cable 10. The door 8 is provided with a side tab 14 with a hole 15, corresponding to the profile of a removable barrel 16 with key 17. The trunk 5 has a slot 18 serving as a housing for the tab 14, this housing also being accessible by an opening 19, located on the front face of the trunk 5 and corresponding to the profile of the removable clip 16.

Lorsque l'anti-vol n'est pas utilisé, le câble 10 retombe dans le pied-support 1 sous l'effet de son contrepoids 11, et il est retenu par son embout 12 (cas du câble gauche sur la figure 1). Le câble 10, ainsi escamoté, ne peut pas constituer une gêne ou un danger pour les piétons, et il est lui-même protégé des chocs et des intempéries.When the anti-theft device is not used, the cable 10 falls back into the support foot 1 under the effect of its counterweight 11, and it is retained by its end piece 12 (case of the left cable in FIG. 1). The cable 10, thus retracted, cannot constitute a nuisance or a danger for pedestrians, and it is itself protected from shocks and weather.

Pour utiliser l'anti-vol, le câble 10 est tiré hors du pied-support 1, et introduit entre les rayons d'une roue 20 du véhicule 21 (et/ou à travers toute autre partie de ce véhicule). Le câble 10 est ensuite suspendu au coffre 5, son embout 12 étant placé dans le logement 13 qui lui est destiné.To use the anti-theft, the cable 10 is pulled out of the support foot 1, and introduced between the spokes of a wheel 20 of the vehicle 21 (and / or through any other part of this vehicle). The cable 10 is then suspended from the trunk 5, its end piece 12 being placed in the housing 13 which is intended for it.

L'utilisateur, après avoir aussi rangé éventuellement dans le casier 5 des objets tels que casque, gants ou autres, referme la porte 8 de telle sorte que l'embout 12 du câble 10 reste prisonnier du coffre 5. Il ne reste plus à l'utilisateur qu'à introduire son barillet 16 personnel dans l'ouverture 19 prévue à cet effet, et à actionner puis retirer la clé 17 le barillet étant alors immobilisé sur l'anti-vol. Le verrouillage ainsi réalisé, empêchant l'ouverture de la porte 8 et le déplacement du câble 10, interdira simultanément le vol du véhicule 21 et le vol des objets rangés dans le coffre. Le barillet 16, une fois mis en place, affleure la paroi du coffre 5, de sorte qu'il devient impossible de l'arracher. Une sécurité supplémentaire peut être envisagée, comme le monte la figure 3, en prévoyant sur la face interne de la porte 8 une butée 22, venant se placer au-dessus de l'embout 12 et empêchant le soulèvement de ce dernier, lorsque la porte 8 est verrouillée.The user, after having also optionally stored in the locker 5 objects such as a helmet, gloves or the like, closes the door 8 so that the end piece 12 of the cable 10 remains trapped in the trunk 5. It no longer remains at the user to insert his personal barrel 16 into the opening 19 provided for this purpose, and to actuate and then remove the key 17, the barrel then being immobilized on the anti-theft device. The locking thus achieved, preventing the opening of the door 8 and the movement of the cable 10, will simultaneously prevent the theft of the vehicle 21 and the theft of objects stored in the trunk. The barrel 16, once in place, is flush with the wall of the trunk 5, so that it becomes impossible to tear it off. Additional security can be envisaged, as shown in FIG. 3, by providing on the internal face of the door 8 a stop 22, coming to be placed above the end piece 12 and preventing the latter from being raised, when the door 8 is locked.

Dans une variante, équivalente à la forme de réalisation précédemment décrite, le barillet enlevable 16 se met en place sur la porte 8, et non pas sur le coffre 5.In a variant, equivalent to the embodiment described above, the removable barrel 16 is put in place on the door 8, and not on the trunk 5.

Les diverses faces du coffre 5 de la figure 1 peuvent recevoir des inscriptions publicitaires, fixes ou interchangeables. La figure 2 montre une autre forme d'exécution plus particulièrement conçue pour constituer un support publicitaire: le coffre 5, soutenu par deux pieds 1, est de grandes dimensions, et il porte une ou des vitres pivotantes 25 derrière lesquelles peuvent être mises en place des affiches publicitaires.The various faces of the trunk 5 of FIG. 1 can receive advertising inscriptions, fixed or interchangeable. Figure 2 shows another embodiment more particularly designed to constitute an advertising medium: the trunk 5, supported by two feet 1, is large, and it carries one or more pivoting windows 25 behind which can be put in place advertising posters.

La figure 4 représente, enfin, une autre forme d'exécution dépourvue de câble. Sur la port 8 du casier 7, toujours montée pivotante suivant un axe horizontal 9, est fixé solidement, par vissage, rivetage ou soudage, un bras métallique rigide 10', de forme recourbée. Lorsque la porte 8 est refermée, ce bras 10' vient enserrer une roue ou une autre partie du véhicule, et son extrémité libre, comportant un trou 15', s'introduit dans un logement 18' du pied 1, logement qui communique aussi avec l'extérieur par une ouverture 19' permettant la pénétration d'un barillet enlevable, identique à celui représenté sur la figure 3. La mise en place de ce barillet verrouille le bras 10' dans une position correspondant à la fermeture de la porte 8, ce qui empêche simultanément le vol du véhicule enserré par le bras 10' et le vol des objets contenus dans le coffre 5. Une pièce coudée 26, fixée sur le pied-support 1 et s'étendant en avant de l'ouverture 19' est prévue pour constituer un obstacle évitant le passage d'objets autres que le barillet et sa clé.Figure 4 shows, finally, another embodiment devoid of cable. On the port 8 of the rack 7, still pivotally mounted along a horizontal axis 9, is fixed securely, by screwing, riveting or welding, a rigid metal arm 10 ', of curved shape. When the door 8 is closed, this arm 10 'encloses a wheel or another part of the vehicle, and its free end, comprising a hole 15', is introduced into a housing 18 'of the foot 1, housing which also communicates with the exterior by an opening 19 ′ allowing the penetration of a removable barrel, identical to that shown in FIG. 3. The positioning of this barrel locks the arm 10 ′ in a position corresponding to the closing of the door 8, which simultaneously prevents the theft of the vehicle enclosed by the arm 10 'and the theft of the objects contained in the trunk 5. A bent piece 26, fixed on the support leg 1 and extending in front of the opening 19' is designed to constitute an obstacle preventing the passage of objects other than the barrel and its key.

La réalisation de la figure 4 peut alle-même donner lieu à des variantes, dans lesquelles l'extrémité libre du bras 10', au lieu de s'introduire dans un logement du pied-support 1, vient se place devant ou derrière le pied-support, ou encore possède une forme en fourche lui permettant de chevaucher le pied-support.The embodiment of FIG. 4 can itself give rise to variants, in which the free end of the arm 10 ′, instead of being introduced into a housing of the support foot 1, is placed in front of or behind the foot -support, or has a fork shape allowing it to overlap the support leg.

Parmi les applications les plus intéressantes de l'invention, on peut citer la protection des véhicules à deux roues, motorisés ou non, et des objets personnels de leurs utilisateurs, sur les parcs de stationnement, le long des trottoirs et chaussées, sur des places, etc..., appartenant soit au domaine public, soit au domaine privé (exemples: garages d'immeubles ou de grands magasins, cours d'usines). Cet anti-vol peut être prévu pour un seul véhicule, pour deux véhicules (voir figure 1) ou pour des véhicules plus nombreux. Enfin, il peut être réalisé ou bien comme un dispositif autonome, ou bien en association avec une construction, telle qu'un abri assurant la protection contre les intempéries du ou des véhicules immobilisés par cet anti-vol.Among the most interesting applications of the invention, one can cite the protection of two-wheeled vehicles, motorized or not, and the personal objects of their users, on parking lots, along sidewalks and pavements, on places , etc ..., belonging either to the public domain or to the private domain (examples: building or department store garages, factory yards). This anti-theft device can be provided for a single vehicle, for two vehicles (see Figure 1) or for more vehicles. Finally, it can be produced either as a stand-alone device, or in combination with a construction, such as a shelter providing protection against the weather of the vehicle or vehicles immobilized by this anti-theft device.
