Abstract: A portable, universal, anti-theft device having inner and outer tubular housings mounted together telescopically. Both housings have open front, axial ends and the rear end of the outer housing is closed. Opposite wall portions of inner and outer housings are formed with pairs of intersecting camming slots receiving locking pins. A locking handle on one housing can move the housings in opposite axial directions to cam the locking pins between an open, gas pedal inserting position, in which the locking pins are cammed apart, permitting the open front end of the housing assembly to be advanced, in enclosing relation, over the gas pedal by the gas pedal passing between and behind the pins and, a closed, gas pedal immobilizing and concealing position in which the pins are cammed together engaging in front of the gas pedal, immobilizing and concealing the gas pedal wholly within the housing assembly.

Abstract: A portable universal anti-theft device for immobilizing a brake pedal of a motor vehicle having first, second and third shafts assembled in telescopic relation with an end of the first shaft providing a stand-off for engaging a vehicle body and the second and third shafts having, respectively, upper and lower clamping jaws extending transversely therefrom. One clamping jaw comprises a hook and another clamping jaw comprising a wedge so that relative axial movement of the second and third shafts together brings the jaws together about a brake pedal therebetween with the wedge member urging the brake pedal into the hook. The first and second shafts are locked together to maintain a selected separation of the wedge member from the lower end of the first shaft and the vehicle body preventing depression of the brake pedal. The wedge is pivotable into and out from alignment with the hook.

Abstract: A brake pedal immobilizing device has first and second shafts with crossheads mounted thereon for relative longitudinal sliding movement to clamp a brake pedal shaft between them. The second shaft carries a stand-off formed by a floor engaging foot extending longitudinally aligned below the crossheads, supporting the device on the vehicle floor during clamping adjustment. The second crosshead is formed with a hook and is rotatively mounted on one end of the first shaft while the other crosshead is mounted on the first shaft in a screw fit. An upper end of the first shaft is received in a sleeve with a shaft locking mechanism and terminates in a handle. A third crosshead carries a third shaft slidingly received in the first crosshead and having a lower end forming a locking/wedging pin for receipt in a bore in the second crosshead in the clamping position to complete enclosure of the brake pedal shaft. A barrier frame is attached to the first crosshead above a brake pedal to block forcing tool access.
