ABSTRACT:
A deactivator for an automobile electric switch having a depressable, spring button projecting from a sleeve which extends through an opening provided in an automobile door frame and a nut mounted on the sleeve. The deactivator includes a pair of resilient pincer arms, each arm having a first end and a second end opposite from the first end whereby the first ends are spaced from each other and the second ends extend convergingly. Teeth are provided on the pincer arms near the second ends. A cross bar connects the first ends of the pincer arms. A pair of handles substantially parallel to the pincer arms are connected to the pincer arms near the second ends. A thumbscrew is threadably received in a circular opening provided in the cross bar. The deactivator is attached to the electric switch by squeezing the handles together to spread apart the lower ends of the pincer arms, placing the pincer arms around the nut, releasing the handles to allow the teeth on the pincer arms to grip the nut, and turning the thumbscrew in order to depress the button.
