6575001, Jun 10, 2003

Filed:

Jul 23, 1996

Appl. No.:

08/686220

Inventors:

David A. Simon - Grosse Pointe Woods MI 48236
Michael T. Laba - Troy MI

Assignee:

David A. Simon - Harrison Township MI

International Classification:

G05G 500

US Classification:

70202, 70201, 70237

Abstract:

A motor vehicle anti-theft device adapted to disable the brake pedal of the vehicle. The device includes a tubular strut with an opening sized to receive the pedal arm of the brake pedal and a lock bar which may be slid forwardly following movement of the pedal arm into the opening to trap the pedal arm in the opening. The device further includes an actuator rod and a strut rod interconnected by a gear and rack structure so that rearward movement of the actuator rod generates forward movement of the strut rod to plant a foot carried on the forward end of the strut rod against the fire wall of the vehicle following entrapment of the pedal arm. A lock structure is provided to preclude retraction of the lock bar and to preclude retraction of the strut rod.

Appl. No.:

10/184597

Inventors:

David Simon - Harrison Township MI 48045

International Classification:

E06B 716

US Classification:

494781, 49506

Abstract:

A weatherproofing assembly for sealing cracks between a door and a frame associated with the door, and a method of using the weatherstrip assembly. The assembly provides a flexible magnetic strip for sealing the cracks. The strip magnetically attaches to one of the door and the frame such that an overhang portion extends therebeyond. When the door is in a closed position, the overhang portion lies overtop of the cracks. Additionally, the strip may magnetically attach to the other of the door and the frame, thereby better sealing the cracks.

Assignee:

David A. Simon - Harrison Township MI

International Classification:

F16H 5700

US Classification:

70202, 70237, 70201

Abstract:

A motor vehicle anti-theft device adapted to disable the brake pedal of the vehicle. In a first embodiment the device includes an outer housing and an inner shaft member mounted within the housing for relative rotary and telescopic movement. A first clamp structure is journaled on the shaft and a second clamp structure is threaded on the shaft so that as the shaft is rotated in the housing the clamp members are moved toward and away from each other into an out of locking engagement with the brake pedal. The inner shaft and outer housing are slid telescopically relative to each other to firmly engage the fire wall of the vehicle with the clamp members clamped about the brake pedal and a lock structure is provided to preclude relative rotary and relative longitudinal movement of the housing and the shaft. In a second embodiment, the device includes a tubular strut with an opening sized to receive the pedal arm of the brake pedal and a lock bar which may be slid forwardly following movement of the pedal arm into the opening to trap the pedal arm in the opening. The device further includes an actuator rod and a strut rod interconnected by a gear and rack structure so that rearward movement of the actuator rod generates forward movement of the strut rod to plant a foot carried on the forward end of the strut rod against the fire wall of the vehicle following entrapment of the pedal arm.

Appl. No.:

10/435225

Inventors:

David A. Simon - Harrison Township MI, US

International Classification:

B25B 13/16

US Classification:

81164, 81167

Abstract:

A wrench includes a wrench head mounted on an end of a handle. A handle of the wrench includes a fixed portion and a rotatable portion. Rotation of the rotatable portion of the handle causes movement of at least one contact surface of the wrench head. In one embodiment, rotation of the rotatable portion provides adjustment or movement of one of the jaws of the wrench head relative to another jaw of the wrench head. In another embodiment, rotation of the rotatable portion provides rotation of the wrench head. The rotatable portion of the handle is slidably mounted within the fixed portion of the handle, such that rotatable portion can be selectively extended to provide additional leverage on the wrench.

Appl. No.:

11/098774

Inventors:

David Simon - Harrison Township MI, US

International Classification:

F16H 57/00

US Classification:

70202, 70199, 70237

Abstract:

A control pedal disabling device includes a housing having a side opening or notch for receiving a pedal assembly component. The opening has a forward surface for bearing against the underside of a pedal assembly component. A rod is slidably mounted to the housing. The rod is movable across the opening to trap the pedal assembly component in the opening. The rod is also movable forwardly from the housing to bear against a vehicle floor, thereby preventing movement of the pedal assembly component toward the vehicle floor.
