Abstract
A vehicle and deployable location marking system for deploying from a vehicle includes a vehicle including an exterior frame and an undercarriage. A power source is mounted on the vehicle and an electromagnet is coupled to the undercarriage of the vehicle and is electrically coupled to the power source. A switch is electrically coupled to the electromagnet and is mounted on the steering wheel, wherein the switch turns on or off a magnetized condition the electromagnet. A beacon for marking a location is releasably coupled to the electromagnet and releases from the electromagnet when actuated by the switch to a demagnetized condition.
Claims13
A vehicle and deployable location marking system comprising:
- a vehicle including an exterior frame and an undercarriage;
- a power source being mounted on the vehicle;
- an electromagnet being coupled to said undercarriage of said vehicle and being electrically coupled to said power source;
- a switch being electrically coupled to said electromagnet and being mounted on a steering wheel, wherein said switch turns on or off a magnetized condition said electromagnet;
- and
- a beacon for marking a location being releasably coupled to said electromagnet and releasing from said electromagnet when actuated by said switch to a demagnetized condition.
A vehicle and deployable location marking system comprising:
- a vehicle including an exterior frame and an undercarriage;
- a power source being mounted on the vehicle, said power source comprising a battery;
- an electromagnet being coupled to said undercarriage of said vehicle and being electrically coupled to said power source, said electromagnet having a transmitter coil;
- a switch being electrically coupled to said electromagnet and being mounted on a steering wheel, wherein said switch turns on or off a magnetized condition said electromagnet;
- a beacon for marking a location being releasably coupled to said electromagnet and releasing from said electromagnet when actuated by said switch to a demagnetized condition, said beacon including:
