ABSTRACT:
A novel machine with an internal combustion engine, and practical use-control means to prevent an unauthorized person from starting such engine, and anti-bypass means to prevent a knowledgeable prepared unauthorized person from defeating use-control means within a practical period of time as a feasible means for unauthorized starting of the engine. Use-control means require a proper authorization code be entered into code-input means before enabling engine starting. Anti-bypass means include enclosing parts of the use-control means within a tamper-proof enclosing-component and selecting such parts and components so that use-control means cannot be manipulated to start the engine by an unauthorized user within a practical amount of time. In one embodiment a solenoid component containing a shielded enclosure and two solenoids is attached to the starter-motor of a car or truck using novel one-way fasteners. A controller will not signal a power regulator to energize engagement means to transfer work from a starter-motor to the engine for starting the engine until the controller receives code-signals from the code-input means that conform with predetermined requirements. The shielded enclosure protects the controller and power regulator of use-control means from environmental hazards and prevents manipulation of such parts for unauthorized starting; and, there are no external connections which could be energized to activate engagement means without knowing the authorization code.
