The invention relates to an operating module for a vehicle anti-theft lock comprising a stator and a rotor that can be turned in the stator by a conforming key comprising an electronic identifier, the said module comprising a support () intended to be mounted on the stator and carrying an antenna () intended to be connected to an identification unit capable of authenticating the electronic identifier of the said key by exchanging signals, and authorizing the starting of the vehicle when an authorized identifier has been detected. According to the invention, the said support () further carries at least one contactless switch (A,B) that can be switched by the rotor when the rotor is turned. The invention also relates to a vehicle anti-theft lock comprising a stator and a rotor that can be turned in the stator and comprising an operating module according to the invention.

Operating module for an anti-theft lock and associated anti-theft lock

The invention relates to an anti-theft device for the steering column of a motor vehicle, comprising a locking device including: a sensor () located close to the input of the rotor () such that it can be biased by the key () once it has been introduced into the rotor (), and a retractable retaining member which can move between a locked position in which it acts on the control finger () in order to prevent the longitudinal movement of the slide () in the direction of the cam () counter to elastic means and an unlocked position in which the slide is released and can move under the action of the elastic means. In addition, coupling means between the sensor () and the retaining member enable said retaining member to be moved into: the locked position when the rotor () is in the rest position and the key () is engaged therein, and the unlocked position when the rotor () is in the rest position and the key is removed therefrom.

Anti-theft security device for vehicles

A driving device for actuating a latch via a lock, for a motor-vehicle door closure system, includes a coupling element including a longitudinal body having ends capable of being rotatably coupled with a part, mounted movably in axial rotation, of the lock and with a part, mounted movably in axial rotation, of the latch. At least one cylinder made from rigid plastic is fixed on the body such that longitudinal portions of the body left visible are smaller than 20 mm (millimeters).

Driving device for actuating a latch via a lock

A device for positioning and holding a key in a container including a cover and a casing. The device includes an opening/closing mechanism enabling the cover and the casing to be mobile in relation to each other at least in rotation, about a rotational axis, between an open position providing access to a housing of the container and a closed position. The device also includes a locking/unlocking mechanism of the cover and the casing, at least in a closed position, comprising a locking/unlocking control device which is mobile in translation following a translation axis.

Device for positioning and holding an emergency key

The invention relates to a locking cylinder with a longitudinal housing, said housing containing a control sensor for triggering an electrical switch for detection of introduction of a key into the cylinder, said sensor being slideably mounted parallel to the axis (A) of introduction of the key, the front end section of the sensor, which may be pushed by the key, cooperates with the housing means to form a ramp to cause a displacement of said front end section in a direction inclined with relation to the axis (A) between a lower idle position and an upper trigger position in which the housing () further contains a switch trigger means, in contact with the rear end of the sensor, said trigger means being only able to move parallel to the axis (A).

Locking cylinder for a motor vehicle

The invention relates to a method for production of a low current switch module, comprising the following steps: precutting a fine conductor path of several conducting circuits connected by connector tracks in the same sheet, positioning the contact relay and other optional electronic components on the precut conductor path, electrically and mechanically connecting said contact relay and the optional electronic components on the conductor track, encapsulating the unit comprising the conductor path, contact relay, the optional components, the pins and electrical connectors thereof and cutting certain connector tracks such as to separate said circuits.

Method for producing a low-current switch module comprising electrical components

A key-operated lock device having a lock, a key operable to actuate said lock, an electronic system commanded by said key, an electric power supply communicating electric power necessary to operate said electronic system, and a detection system for detecting the presence or absence of said key. The detection device is operable to command the connection with the electric power supply of said electronic system only if the key is present in, or close to, the lock.

Safety lock

The invention provides a system comprising an antitheft mechanism ( ) comprising a housing ( ) in which a member ( ) for manually controlling the starting of the vehicle engine and the locking of the steering can move axially ( ) between a pulled position in which it locks the steering and a pushed position in which it unlocks the steering, is mounted so that it can rotate ( ) between an angular position of rest and an angular position of use, and is connected in terms of rotation to a cam ( ) for controlling the latch bolt ( ), wherein the antitheft system comprises an electromagnet ( ) for immobilizing the control member ( ) in terms of rotation with respect to the housing ( ), the release of which is controlled when an encoded antitheft signal is supplied by the identification unit to an electronic circuit that controls the immobilizing member and a switch ( ) which triggers an interrogation and identification step, which is carried by the housing ( ) and is triggered by the manual control member ( ).
