  • Patent number: 5508693
    Abstract: A burglarproof system for automotive vehicle which precludes a burglar from improperly starting the engine of an automotive vehicle using a duplicate key or short-circuiting a starter circuit. A magnetic card having a plurality of permanent magnets buried wherein and representing a predetermined password, and a card reader reading the poles and arrangement of the permanent magnets appearing on the upper surface of the magnetic card. One embodiment reads the password in a static reading mode. A second embodiment reads the password during movement of the magnetic card. A password comparator of the burglarproof system compares the password of the magnetic card with the predetermined password. A coincidence signal from the comparator establishes an electric circuit required for starting the engine of the automotive vehicle.

  • Patent number: 5289177
    Abstract: This invention relates to a burglarproof key cylinder lock which comprises an outer tubular member, and an inner tubular member rotatably provided within the outer tubular member. A properly coded magnet key is inserted into the inner tubular member. The outer tubular member is provided with at least one switch member therein which is turned ON when a properly coded magnet key is inserted into the inner tubular member. An input signal discrimination circuit is provided for cutting off output signals to supply elements essential for the operation of an engine for a vehicle in case a key other than the properly coded key is inserted.

  • Patent number: 5113174
    Abstract: This invention relates to a device for giving an alarm for failure to draw out an engine key for a vehicle. A key cylinder lock comprises an outer tubular member, and an inner tubular member rotatably provided within the outer tubular member. A magnet key having a magnet is inserted into the inner tubular member. A switch member which is turned ON when the magnet key is inserted into the inner tubular member by a power delivered from a power supply provided in the vehicle is provided in the outer tubular member. On the other hand, a door switch which is turned ON when the door of the vehicle is opened is provided. An alarm unit is connected to both the door switch and the switch member. Thus, when the door of the vehicle is opened with the magnet key being inserted into the key cylinder lock as it is, the alarm unit produces an alarm, thus to inform a driver that he forgets to draw out the key.
