Vehicle protection and recovery apparatus

A Method for activating a vehicle security apparatus for locking and unlocking a vehicle wheel/s, wherein the vehicle security apparatus comprises:

• a housing encasing, a servomotor, a worm screw, a cylindrical container with an internal thread, a pivot, a perforated band with up to 50 holes, a compression spring, screw/s or bolts, a latch, a clamp, a blocking system, and an electronic compartment further comprising of a battery and a motherboard,
• wherein the method comprising:
• I Locking the vehicle wheel/s:
• i. powering the servomotor by the battery,
• ii. causing the worm screw to rotate,
• iii. rotating the worm screw causes the cylindrical container to move,
• iv. causing the cylindrical container to slide downwards,
• v. pushing the pivot toward the perforated band,
• vi. when aligning the pivot with one of the holes in the perforated band,
• vii. inserting the pivot into the hole, and
• viii. locking the perforated band and go step xv,
• ix. skipping steps vi-ix when the pivot does not align with a hole in the perforated band, and following steps x to xii,
• x. compressing the spring and maintaining pressure,
• xi. ensuring the spring continues rotating the band until the pivot aligning occurs,
• xii. aligning multiple failed attempts, the apparatus retries until the aligning of step xi occurs
• xiii. alerting the vehicle-owner for manual intervention if the aligning of step xi does not occur,
• xiv. locking the perforated band,
• xv. stopping the rotational movement of the perforated band,
• xvi. locking of the vehicle wheels due to stopped rotational movement of the perforated band,
• II unlocking the vehicle wheel/s:
• xvii. powering the servomotor by the battery,
• xviii. reversing servomotor operations,
• xix. the worm screws rotating in the opposite direction of the step ii,
• xx. detracting the cylindrical container upwards,
• xxi. pulling back the pivot out of the perforated band,
• xxii. unlocking the perforated band,
• xxiii. the latch ensuring that the pivot does not rise beyond its intended position,
• xxiv. retracting the pivot,
• xxv. unlocking the perforated band,
• xxvi. unlocking the wheel to move the vehicle,
• III resetting the vehicle security apparatus for next locking use:
• xxvii. retracting the pivot,
• xxviii. inactivating the servomotor and the worm screw,
• xxix. readying the vehicle security apparatus for the next locking cycle.
