Automatic vehicle starting apparatus

Apparatus for automatically starting and operating a vehicle, comprising:

• receiving means for receiving a remote signal and in response thereto producing an output signal for a first duration of time;
• starting means receiving said output signal from said receiving means and during the duration of said output signal providing an electrical energizing signal for operating the vehicle starter and a gas flow signal for sending a supply of gas to the vehicle carburetor to thereby start the vehicle;
• operating means responsive to said starting means for providing an electrical operating signal to the vehicle ignition system for a second duration of time for running the vehicle, and
• equipment activating means responsive to the electrical operating signal from the operating means for activating at least some of the vehicle accessory electrical equipment, wherein said electrical activating means comprises an activating relay coil adapted for coupling to the vehicle regulator stator and being energized by said operating means, a plurality of contact switches operated by said activating relay coil, one contact of each of said contact switches being adapted for connection to the vehicle battery, the other contact of each of said contact switches being adapted for connection to a respective one of the vehicle accessory electrical equipment, including the heater, air conditioner, defroster, and the like.

Apparatus for automatically starting and operating a vehicle comprising:

• a remote transmitter for transmitting a signal of a predetermined frequency;
• a receiver located within the vehicle for receiving the signal transmitted and in response thereto producing an output;
• circuit means located within the vehicle, coupled to the vehicle battery and responsive to said output for starting and running the vehicle for a predetermined period of time, said circuit means further comprising starting means receiving said output signal from said receiving means and providing an electrical energizing signal for operating the vehicle starter and a gas flow signal for sending a supply of gas to the vehicle carburetor to thereby start the vehicle, and operating means responsive to said starting means for providing an electrical operating signal to the vehicle ignition system for a predetermined duration of time for running of the vehicle, and wherein said operating means comprises a timing circuit triggered by said starting means and operative thereafter for said predetermined period of time, an operating relay coil coupled to the output of said timing circuit for energization thereby from the vehicle battery during said predetermined period of time, at least two contact switches operated by said operating relay coil, one contact of one contact switch being connected to the vehicle battery, the other contact of said one contact switch being coupled to one contact of a second contact switch and the other of the second contact switch being connected to the vehicle ignition coil, whereby upon triggering of said timing circuit the vehicle ignition coil is interconnected to the vehicle battery for energization thereby during said predetermined period of time during which the vehicle will continue to operate.
