Abstract

A speed alarm system for an automobile comprised of a first circular disk having a semi-circular electronic indicator grid formed around an outer periphery thereof. The first circular disk is rotatably positioned on a speedometer relay of an automobile and coupled thereto by a knob portion. A second circular disk has a circular recess formed therein inwardly of an outer periphery thereof. The second circular disk is positionable through an upper portion of the knob portion whereby the semi-circular electronic grid of the first circular disk is in selective alignment with the circular recess of the second circular disk. An indicating needle has a first end rotatably coupled with the upper portion of the knob portion. A second end has a magnetic portion extending downwardly through the circular recess of the second circular disk. A speaker has wiring extending outwardly thereof to couple with the existing speedometer relay of the automobile and with the semi-circular electronic grid of the first circular disk.

Claims

1. A speed alarm system for an automobile for alerting a driver that they are exceeding a set speed in an automobile comprising, in combination:

a first circular disk having an aperture formed through a central portion thereof, the first circular disk having a semi-circular electronic indicator grid formed around an outer periphery thereof, the first circular disk rotatably positioned on an existing speedometer relay of an automobile through the aperture thereof and coupled thereto by a knob portion;

a second circular disk having an aperture formed through a central portion thereof, the second circular disk having a circular recess formed therein inwardly of an outer periphery thereof, the second circular disk positionable with the aperture thereof receiving an upper portion of the knob portion therethrough whereby the semi-circular electronic grid of the first circular disk in selective alignment with the circular recess of the second circular disk, an outer edge of the second circular disk having indicia thereon for the indication of speed attained by the vehicle, the first circular disk being rotatable in relationship to the second circular disk whereby the electronic grid can be positioned strategically within the circular recess;

an indicating needle having a first end and a second end, the first end being rotatably coupled with the upper portion of the knob portion, the second end having a magnetic portion extending downwardly therefrom, the magnetic portion extending through the circular recess of the second circular disk; and

a speaker secured within a housing, the housing having a back portion with adhesive thereon, the adhesive having a peel-off layer disposed thereon, the speaker having wiring extending outwardly of the housing to couple with the existing speedometer relay of the automobile and with the semi-circular electronic grid of the first circular disk, the speaker adapted for securement within the automobile.

2. A speed alarm system for an automobile for alerting a driver that they are exceeding a set speed in an automobile comprising, in combination:

a first circular disk having a semi-circular electronic indicator grid formed around an outer periphery thereof, the first circular disk rotatably positioned on an existing speedometer relay of an automobile and coupled thereto by a knob portion;

a second circular disk having a circular recess formed therein inwardly of an outer periphery thereof, the second circular disk positionable through an upper portion of the knob portion whereby the semi-circular electronic grid of the first circular disk in selective alignment with the circular recess of the second circular disk;

an indicating needle having a first end and a second end, the first end being rotatably coupled with the upper portion of the knob portion, the second end having a magnetic portion extending downwardly through the circular recess of the second circular disk; and

a speaker having wiring extending outwardly thereof to couple with the existing speedometer relay of the automobile and with the semi-circular electronic grid of the first circular disk.

3. The system as described in claim 2 and further including indicia on an outer edge of the second circular disk for the indication of speed attained by the vehicle.

4. The system as described in claim 2 wherein the first circular disk being rotatable in relationship to the second circular disk whereby the electronic grid can be positioned strategically within the circular recess.

5. The system as described in claim 2 wherein the speaker is secured within a housing, the housing having a back portion with adhesive thereon, the adhesive having a peel-off layer disposed thereon.
