Patent ID: 8001815

Claim:
A Device for Starting and Operating an engine in a motor vehicle, wherein a loose ID transmitter ( 20 ), which can be inserted ( 21 ) into a stationary slot ( 10 ) of the motor vehicle and has an engaging device ( 25 . 1 , 25 . 2 ) at least on one of its sidewalls ( 24 ), which extend in the direction of insertion ( 21 ), wherein a stationary ID receiver in the vehicle, which communicates with the inserted ID transmitter ( 20 ), wherein a two-armed angle lever ( 30 . 1 , 30 . 2 ) is fixed in the slot ( 10 ) so as to be pivotable, wherein one arm of the angle lever ( 30 . 1 , 30 . 2 ) is a supporting arm ( 31 . 1 , 31 . 2 ) that extends essentially in a direction of insertion ( 21 ) of the ID transmitter ( 20 ), wherein the supporting arm ( 31 . 1 , 31 . 2 ) has a securing means ( 35 . 1 , 35 . 2 ), which, in the correct inserted position ( 43 ), engages the engaging device ( 25 . 1 , 25 . 2 ) arranged on of the ID transmitter ( 20 ), and another arm of the angle lever ( 30 . 1 , 30 . 2 ) is a control arm ( 32 . 1 , 32 . 2 ) that extends transversely to the direction of insertion ( 21 ) of the ID transmitter ( 20 ), wherein the control arm ( 32 . 1 , 32 . 2 ) has a control point ( 33 . 1 , 33 . 2 ) that contacts an opposing control point ( 38 ) on an insertion end ( 27 ) of the ID transmitter ( 20 ) upon insertion of the ID transmitter ( 20 ) so that a swivel-back movement ( 46 . 1 , 46 . 2 ) of the angle lever ( 30 . 1 , 30 . 2 ) occurs, wherein the swivel-back movement ( 46 . 1 , 46 . 2 ) provides an engagement of the engaging device and the securing means ( 25 . 1 , 35 . 1 ; 25 . 2 , 35 . 2 ) between the supporting arm ( 31 . 1 , 31 . 2 ) and the ID transmitter ( 20 ) so that the ID transmitter ( 20 ) is secured in the slot ( 10 ), wherein the control arm ( 32 . 1 , 32 . 2 ) further has a locking point ( 34 . 1 , 34 . 2 ) that cooperates with a locking device ( 40 ) so as to secure the ID transmitter ( 20 ) in its inserted position ( 43 ), and wherein the locking device ( 40 ) is movable transversely to a swivel plane ( 29 ) of the control arm ( 32 . 1 , 32 . 2 ) between two positions, including a locked position ( 40 . 2 ), in which the locking device ( 40 ) engages the locking point ( 34 . 1 , 34 . 2 ) of the control arm ( 32 . 1 , 32 . 2 ), and a released position ( 40 . 1 ), in which the locking device ( 40 ) releases the locking point ( 34 . 1 , 34 . 2 ).
