ABSTRACT:
An anti-theft ornament apparatus allowing a hood ornament to be either spring mounted or securely fastened to the hood and allowing the ornament to be easily removed and remounted to the hood is disclosed. A tubular housing is attached to the ornament mounting base. A sliding disk that slides up and down within the housing is attached by a connecting rod to the ornament mounting loop. A spring surrounding the connecting rod keeps the ornament in place on the ornament base through spring tension in normal use. When the ornament is removed a disk magnet above the sliding disk serves to actuate a magnetic locking arm to hold the connecting rod and sliding disk in a raised position. When the ornament is replaced an upward movement disengages the locking arm, allowing the ornament and sliding disk to return to the lower ornament mounted position. A locking plunger will firmly secure the ornament in the mounted position. An electrical circuit can activate the vehicle horn or an alarm when an attempt is made to remove the ornament.
