Abstract

The vehicle interior security apparatus ensures the security of living beings within the confines of an auto or other enclosure in which they might reside or temporarily reside. The apparatus importantly provides for automatic emergency alert as well as manually triggered emergency alert. The apparatus can therefore safely guard even animals, babies, and others unable to fend for themselves. The apparatus provides for power generation so that existing power, such as that of a vehicle, need not be fully relied upon. The solar grid can power the apparatus and can also recharge existing electrical systems as well as operate the apparatus. The apparatus provides multiple components for audio, visual, and airwave warnings.

Claims

1. A vehicle interior security apparatus comprising, in combination:

a plurality of pads selectively disposed within the vehicle, each pad having an airwave emergency communication capability, the pads comprising;

an on/off button;

a speaker;

a Braille feature;

a pad fan;

a vent, the vent having CO sensor, an adjustable temperature sensor, and adjustable sound sensor within;

a solar cell grid affixed to the vehicle, the solar cell grid in communication with an existing electrical system of the vehicle;

a plurality of ventilation fans affixed in a spaced apart arrangement within the vehicle;

a plurality of remote lights affixed within the vehicle, each remote light further comprising a microphone;

a trim lighting affixed exteriorly to the vehicle as to be visible from a top and from a plurality of elevations of the vehicle, the trim lighting comprising blue and yellow lighting;

a CPU disposed within the vehicle, the CPU in communication with each pad, the solar cell grid, the ventilation fans, the remote lights, and the trim lighting;

whereby a manual depression of any pad on/off, an excessive CO sensor level, an excessive noise sensor level, and a sensing of temperature beyond programmed ranges, and an alarming noise registered within any MIC triggers emergency communication, trim lighting, pad fans, ventilation fans, and the remote lights.

2. The apparatus according to claim 1 wherein the trim lighting further comprise a width of about 1 inch.

3. The apparatus according to claim 1 wherein the solar cell grid further comprises a width of about 1-2 inches.

4. The apparatus according to claim 2 wherein the solar cell grid further comprises a width of about 1-2 inches.

5. A vehicle interior security apparatus comprising, in combination:

a plurality of pads selectively disposed within the vehicle, each pad having an airwave emergency communication capability, the pads comprising;

an on/off button;

a speaker;

a Braille feature;

a pad fan;

a vent, the vent having CO sensor, an adjustable temperature sensor, and adjustable sound sensor within;

a solar cell grid affixed to the vehicle, the solar cell grid in communication with an existing electrical system of the vehicle;

a plurality of ventilation fans affixed in a spaced apart arrangement within the vehicle;

a plurality of remote lights affixed within the vehicle, each remote light further comprising a MIC;

a trim lighting affixed exteriorly to the vehicle as to be visible from a top and from a plurality of elevations of the vehicle, the trim lighting comprising blue and yellow lighting;

a plurality of spaced apart accessory blue lights installed on a front, a rear, and a roof of the vehicle;

a CPU disposed within the vehicle, the CPU in communication with each pad, the solar cell grid, the ventilation fans, the remote lights, the accessory blue lights, and the trim lighting;

whereby a manual depression of any pad on/off, an excessive CO sensor level, an excessive noise sensor level, and a sensing of temperature beyond programmed ranges, and an alarming noise registered within any microphone triggers emergency communication, trim lighting, pad fans, ventilation fans, and the remote lights.

6. The apparatus according to claim 5 wherein the trim lighting further comprise a width of about 1 inch.

7. The apparatus according to claim 5 wherein the solar cell grid further comprises a width of about 1-2 inches.

8. The apparatus according to claim 6 wherein the solar cell grid further comprises a width of about 1-2 inches.
