Patent ID: 7872361

Claim:
A vehicle integrated dead battery backup starting system for starting a motor vehicle engine with a dead battery, comprising: means for inputting energy; means for cutting in the back-up starting system when a normal starting system battery fails; means for storing sufficient mechanical energy removably connected to said means for inputting energy; means for diverting a stored mechanical energy in said means for storing sufficient mechanical energy, driveably coupled to said means for storing sufficient mechanical energy; means for locking said means for storing sufficient mechanical energy and a gear assembly in a locked position to hold it until said means for inputting energy is removed and a means for releasing said means for storing sufficient mechanical energy is actuated, lockably connected to said means for diverting the stored mechanical energy; means for generating sufficient electricity to power a starter motor, operably coupled to said means for diverting the stored mechanical energy, and switchably connected to said means for cutting in the back-up starting system when the normal starting system battery fails; means for signaling a user that sufficient electricity is being generated in order to power the starter motor and an ignition key must be turned quickly before said means for storing sufficient mechanical energy exhausts its release of energy, electrically connected to said means for generating sufficient electricity to power the starter motor; said means for releasing said means for storing sufficient mechanical energy, lockingly connected to said means for locking; and means for allowing said means for inputting energy to be installed while simultaneously preventing activation of said means for releasing said means for storing sufficient mechanical energy.
