  • Patent number: 4825670
    Abstract: The vehicle auto security lock device includes an about upright frame adapted to be permanently connected to the interior of the driver compartment of a vehicle adjacent the vehicle's gear shift and radio, the latter mounted in the dashboard. The frame includes a pair of spaced upright plates positionable on opposite sides of a gear shift console and bridged by a horizontal bar. The inner faces of the plates adjacent their upper ends bear grooves adapted to slideably receive the ends of a u-shaped horizontal hasp extending toward the gear shift. A generally closed box slides down on the plates and seats on the crossbar. The rear end of the box bears a plate which covers the face of the vehicle radio. The box when seated is positioned immediately behind the gear shift lever. The hasp loops around the opposite end of the gear shift lever and in the operative position pins it against the box. The ends of the hasp slide into the front of the box and in the plate grooves.
