Abstract

An antitheft system includes a main controller mounted in a car for controlling an overall operation of the antitheft system, and a wireless keypad provided on a front side with numbered keys, and on a rear side with a clip. The wireless keypad may be attached to a car door edge of all versions of different brands of cars via the clip without the risk of separating from the door easily. The wireless keypad also allows a user to enter and transmit a code to the main controller to release or enable the antitheft system just beside the car, and is therefore a humanized design.

Claims

1. An anti-theft system with clip-on wireless keypad, comprising a main controller and the wireless keypad;

the main controller being mounted in a car for controlling an overall operation of the antitheft system and door locks of the car; and

the wireless keypad being provided with a clip for connecting the wireless keypad to an edge of a door of the car, so that a user may press predetermined keys on the wireless keypad to enter and transmit a code signal to the main controller to release or enable the antitheft system;

wherein the clip on the wireless keypad has a size larger than the gap between front and rear doors or the gap between the door and door frame, preventing the wireless keypad from being externally detached from the door edge once the car door is closed; and

the wireless keypad works with the main controller to allow the user to release or enable the antitheft system just beside the car without the need of carrying a remote controller, making the antitheft system a humanized design.

2. The antitheft system with clip-on wireless keypad as claimed in claim 1, wherein the wireless keypad has an elongate body, and the keys and the clip of the wireless keypad are provided on a front and a rear side, respectively, of the elongate body.

3. The antitheft system with clip-on wireless keypad as claimed in claim 1, wherein the wireless keypad may be of any shape with the keys and the clip respectively provided on a front and a rear side thereof.

4. The antitheft system with clip-on wireless keypad as claimed in claim 1, wherein the clip is pivotally turnable to allow an angular adjustment of the clip relative to the wireless keypad, so that the wireless keypad may be mounted to car doors having different edge inclinations and always kept parallel with a door handle or window frame of the car door to maintain the car door in a beautiful and harmonious appearance.
