Vehicle theft-preventing device acting on the brake system
First Claim
1. A device for preventing the theft of vehicles and trailers, the deceleration brakes and parking brake of which are brakes operated with pressure medium, and which include at least two wheel pairs, a decelerating brake circuit, and a foot-operated decelerating brake valve, comprising a valve controlled by a code lock;
- said valve being a three-way valve having one inlet port and two outlet ports;
said valve being disposed in a feed line between a pressure medium source for actuating the parking brake and a control valve for the parking brake;
said inlet port of said outlet ports being connected to said control valve, and the second one of said outlet ports being connected to the decelerating brake circuit for either one of the wheel pairs via a first check valve;
a feed line from the foot-operated deceleration brake valve comprising a second check valve;
by the locked position of a code lock, maintained in a first position, wherein the connection between said inlet port and said one of said outlet ports, is closed while maintaining the connection between said inlet port and said second one of said outlet ports open; and
vice versa in a second, open position of said code lock, the line between said three-way valve and said first check valve being relieved of pressure when said code lock assumes said open position;
said three-way valve including a pressure relief opening which is maintained in connection to said second outlet port of said valve body of said three-way valve when said valve body closes the connection with said inlet port and said second outlet port.

Abstract
Devices for preventing the theft of vehicles and trailers are known, of which vehicles and trailers the decelerating brakes and parking brake consist of brakes operated with compressed air. The device comprises a valve controlled by a code lock. In order to double the safety against manipulation of the locking device, the valve consists of a three-way valve (14) with one inlet port and two outlet ports (16,17), which valve (14) is inserted in the feed line (11) between a pressure medium source (4) for actuating the parking brake and the control valve (12) for the parking brake, with the inlet port connected to the pressure medium source (4). One outlet port (16) is connected to the control valve (12), and the second outlet port (17) is connected to the decelerating brake circuit for either wheel pair (1) via a first check valve (19). The feed line (9) from the foot-operated decelerating brake valve (6) comprises a second check valve (21), and the valve body (23) of the three-way valve (14) by the locked position of the code lock (15) is held in the position, which closes the connection between the inlet port and said firstmentioned outlet port (16), but holds the connection open between the inlet port and said second outlet port (17), and vice versa in open position of the code lock, and the line (18) between the three-way valve (14) and the first check valve (19) is relieved of pressure when the code lock assumes open position.
