Abstract
An antitheft apparatus, which is installed in a vehicle having an expandable body system to expand expandable body that confine a motion of a burglar in predetermined space portions in a compartment, ejects material as a source of foam polystyrene into the compartment and then injects a steam to the material to confine the motion of the intruder by the foam polystyrene when a presence of the intruder in the compartment is sensed.
Claims13
An antitheft apparatus installed in a vehicle, comprising:
- a gas injection system, which injects one of steam and cold air in a predetermined space in the vehicle;
- an intruder detection unit for detecting an intruder into the vehicle;
- and
- a controlling unit for controlling a driving unit of the gas injection system to inject the one of steam and cold air when the intruder detection unit detects that an intruder is present in the vehicle.

An antitheft apparatus installed in a vehicle, comprising:
- a gas injection system, which injects one of steam and cold air in a predetermined space in a vehicle;
- a pre-intrusion detection unit for detecting a person who is going to intrude into the vehicle;
- and
- a controlling unit for controlling a driving unit of the gas injection system to inject the one of steam and cold air when a first predetermined time has lapsed after the pre-intrusion detection unit detects the person.
1 more element
An antitheft apparatus installed in a vehicle, comprising:
- a foam ejection system, including a driving unit that ejects a material serving as a source of foam polystyrene into the vehicle and injects steam into the ejected material in a predetermined space in the vehicle;
- an intruder detection unit for detecting an intruder into the vehicle;
- and
- a foam controlling unit for controlling the driving unit of the foam ejection system to eject the material and inject steam therein when the intruder detection unit detects that an intruder is present in the vehicle.
1 more element
An antitheft apparatus installed in a vehicle, comprising:
- a seat-state changing system including a driving unit for changing a state of a seat disposed in the vehicle;
- an intruder detection unit for detecting an intruder into the vehicle;
- a controlling unit for controlling the driving unit of the seat-state changing system to change the seat to a first state to confine a motion of the intruder when the intruder detection unit detects that an intruder is present in the vehicle;
- and
- a gas injection system, which injects one of steam and cold air in a predetermined space in the vehicle,
- wherein the controlling unit controls a gas injection driving unit of the gas injection system to inject the one of steam and cold air when the intruder detection unit detects that the intruder is present in the vehicle,
- wherein the controlling unit is connected to the driving unit of the gas injection system.
