Abstract:
A portable universal anti-theft device for immobilizing a brake pedal of a motor vehicle comprising:a first shaft member, a second shaft member and a third shaft member assembled side by side for relative axial movement, the first shaft member having a bottom end for providing a stand-off for engaging a vehicle floor/fire wall; the second shaft member and the third shaft member having, respectively upper and lower clamping jaws extending transversely therefrom, one clamping jaw comprising a hook member and another clamping jaw comprising a wedge member whereby relative axial movement of the second and third shaft members brings the jaws together about a brake pedal interposed therebetween with the wedge member urging the brake pedal into the hook; and, means for locking the first and second shaft members together against relative axial movement to maintain a selected separation of the wedge member in brake pedal clamping engagement from the lower end of the first member and the vehicle floor thereby to prevent depression of the brake pedal.
