ABSTRACT:
A device for deterring automobile vandalism includes two telescopically engaged elongate members each of which has a plain end and an arcuate, blade shaped, window channel engaging end. The blade shaped ends are arcuate to displace the elongate body of the device away from the window pane so the device can be used whether the window is open or closed. A bushing is attached over the plain end of the first elongate member and includes an inner sidewall telescopically received in the plain end of the first member to add rigidity to the device and to fix the length of the device as desired. The inner and outer sidewalls of the bushing each have aligned holes through which a threaded stud having a thumb screw on one end can be screwed until the other end of the stud engages the sidewall of the second member. In another version of the device, the plain end of the telescopically received second member is flared and fitted with a plug, and the first member contains a spring, and is crimped after assembly so that the second member can not be ejected from the first member due to the restoring force of the spring. In each version, the bushing can be seated on the plain end of the first member in which case the first member has a hole in the sidewall thereof aligned with the holes in the bushing for the stud to pass through.
