Abstract
A coil is encapsulated in a symbol formed of cast epoxy for display on the exterior of an automobile. The coil is connected to and forms part of a security system which is actuated by the inductive coupling of a keying circuit to the encapsulated coil. Two threaded metal rods are partially embedded in the epoxy symbol to enable mounting on the exterior of an automobile.

5. A security system for motor vehicles comprising:
-
a. a keyable control circuit, said keyable control circuit being operative to generate a signal to actuate at least a door unlock circuit; b. a sensing element connected to said keyable control circuit, said sensing element being operative to couple said keyable control circuit to a keying circuit; c. a plurality of epoxy resin castings mounted on the exterior of the motor vehicle at least some of which are provided with an integrally molded identifying symbol, each said epoxy resin casting having a plurality of surfaces and said identifying symbol being on one said surface; d. said sensing element being encapsulated in one said epoxy resin casting provided with said integrally molded identifying symbol and being aligned essentially parallel to the surface having the identifying symbol; e. leads extending from a second said surface of the epoxy resin casting having the encapsulated sensing element; and f. mounting means spaced from the leads extending from the same second said surface as that from which the leads extend.
