ABSTRACT:
A motor vehicle anti-theft device adapted to disable the brake pedal of the vehicle. The device includes an outer housing and an inner shaft member mounted within the housing for relative rotary and telescopic movement. A first clamp structure is journaled on the shaft and a second clamp structure is threaded on the shaft so that, as the shaft is rotated in the housing, the clamp members are moved toward and away from each other into and out of locking engagement with the brake pedal. The inner shaft and outer housing are slid telescopically relative to each other to firmly engage the fire wall of the vehicle with the clamp members clamped about the brake pedal. A lock structure is provided to preclude relative rotary and relative longitudinal movement of the housing and the shaft. The device functions to lock the pedal in a brake released position so that the vehicle cannot be started since the brake/shift interlock cannot be actuated.
