ABSTRACT:
The subject invention is directed to a device for preventing the movement of a floor-mounted gear shift lever of an automobile from the "park" position to a position useful for operating the automobile. Five specific embodiments are of interest. The first embodiment includes an arcuate retaining lock which operates similar to a handcuff lock and which is mounted outside the gear shift lever console. The first embodiment includes a hingeable lock plate which is hingeably located behind the gear shift lever and which includes a semi-circular cutout portion for receiving the gear shift lever thereby preventing its rearward movement.
The second embodiment utilizes a similarly operating locking member but is contained within the gear shift lever console so as to be hidden from view. The third embodiment includes a lever activated housing to enclose and disable a gas pedal. The fourth embodiment includes a housing to enclose a gear shift handle, thereby preventing unauthorized operation of the automobile. In a fifth embodiment a lock disables the fuel line of an automobile to prevent the movement of the automobile.
