Abstract

A radio signal jamming device 1.1, for preventing the use of a mobile phone whilst driving a vehicle, comprises wires 1.3A, 1.3B for connection to the vehicles ignition via N-lock crimps 1.4B. When the ignition is turned on, the device breaks down / blocks the received signal levels between a person's mobile phone and the transmitting antenna, in order to prevent the phone being used within 1 -1.5 metre radius of the device itself. The device has 1m of external wiring as part of the design to enable an easy installation process. The crimps may include holes through which two anti-tamper security seals (pg.1 inset) may be threaded to ensure the product is not tampered with once installed.

Description

DESCRIPTION
The 10-3 Box: Vehicle fitted Mobile/Cellular Phone Signal Blocker: The invention is named the "10-3 box' originating from the CB Radio terms: "10-3" meaning "to stop transmitting" The concept behind this invention is to help reduce the number of Road traffic accidents and people breaking the law, by using mobile/cellular phones when driving, in the UK; with the expectation of the product to be recognised internationally as a leading in-vehicle safety device, that contributes to reducing the risk of unnecessary road traffic accidents and ultimately saving the lives of others.
The 10-3 device is designed to break down and block the received signal levels between a person's mobile/cellular phone and the transmitting antenna, in order to prevent the phone being used within 1.0- 1.5 metre radius of the device itself (which will be located inside dashboard as near to the vehicle steering column and ignition switch as possible); this will prevent the driver of the vehicle using a mobile phone while the vehicle ignition is on.
The 10-3 box has a number of Key Features: * It is the only ignition-activated, product available that is designed specifically to prevent drivers using their mobile/cellular phones while the vehicle ignition is turned on.
* It is the only ignition-activated, vehicle mobile/cellular blocking device.
* It is the only ignition-activated,vehicle mobile/cellular blocking device that has im of external wiring and N-lock connectors as part of the design to enable an easy installation process * It is the only ignition-activated, vehicle mobile/cellular blocking device that has a 1-1.5m radius of signal blocking capability.
* The 10-3 box will be supplied with two anti-tamper security seals** Each security seal will be threaded through the holes in each of the separate N-lock crimps, once crimps have been connected, to ensure the product is not interfered with once installed.
The following page: (pg.1) includes prototype diagrams of the 10-3 box design. Please refer to these diagrams, using the reference numbers included in the subsequent text. This information will provide a
clear and detailed description of the invention.
The device itself is a small box (1.1) containing a circuitry system that enables the device to break down and block the received signal levels between a person's mobile/cellular phone and the transmitting antenna, in order to prevent the phone being used within 1.0 -1.5 metre radius of the device itself. Measuring 50mm in height, 50mm width with a depth of just 2Omm.Externally the device will have an LED light (1.2) to signal the box activation -this will be located at the "top" of the device.
There will be two external wires (1.3A and 1.3B); one located either side of the box measuring 500mm each. Each wire will state the ECDF* as either "IN" or "OUT".
The two wires will create the link between the 10-3 device and the vehicle, in order to gain sufficient power to activate the 10-3 box, each time the ignition to the vehicle is turned on.
DESCRIPTION continued
The 10-3 Box: Vehicle fitted Mobile/Cellular Phone Signal Blocker: To fit the 10-3 you will be required to cut both wires to the necessary length (this will vary upon make and model of vehicle) and fix a female crimp (1.4A) located in the female N-lock connector (1.4B) to each wire end.
You will then cut a live feed from the ignition, in order to attach a male crimp (1.5A) located in the male N-lock connector (1.SB) to each end of the existing (cut) ignition wire.
This will then allow the 10-3 box to be connected to the car by simply plugging each female connector into each of the male connectors provided.
Finally the 10-3 box will be supplied with two anti-tamper security seals** (pgl.INsn 1.1) each security seal will be threaded through the holes in each of the separate N-lock crimps, once crimps have been connected ** (pgl.INsn 1.2), to ensure the product is not interfered with once installed.
By following these simple steps of installation it will allow the live feed, which is triggered when the vehicle ignition is turned, to run through the 10-3 devise enabling its activation.
Circuitry: The main electronic components of the 10-3 box mobile/cellular blocking device are: * Voltage-controlled oscillator -Generates the radio signal that will interfere with the mobile/cellular phone signal * Tuning circuit -Controls the frequency at which the mobile/cellular blocking device broadcasts its signal by sending a particular voltage to the oscillator * Noise generator -Produces random electronic output in a specified frequency range to block the mobile/cellular phone network signal (part of the tuning circuit) * RF amplification (gain stage) -Boosts the power of the radio frequency output to high enough levels to block a signal * The 10-3 box will also contain the devices antenna -To send the signal The 10-3 box will be located inside the dashboard as near to the vehicle steering column and ignition switch as possible. This will be secured in place with a zip tie / sticking pad (1.6). The 10-3 box WILL NOT be visible to the driver.
The 10-3 box will activate only when the ignition of the vehicle is turned on -The notion behind this is to enable the use of the mobile/cellular phone in the car while the vehicle is parked / stationary in a safe position.
The 10-3 box is a product that is aimed at every driver in the UK and World. The device is designed to help prevent driver distraction thus preventing road traffic accidents caused by the use of mobiles/cellular phones when driving. Also it will prevent people in the UK from breaking the law.
By having the 10-3 device fitted in every vehicle, on the road, will help reduce the number of both minor and major road traffic accidents massively and expectantly eliminate the number of fatalities initiated by the use of a hand held mobile/cellular phones.
*Electrical -Current Direction Flow ** The anti-tamper security seals will be serial coded (1.7) to coincide with the 10-3 box it's provided with.
