Abstract
Abstract An antitheft starting and ignition system includes an activating circuit for selectively operating a starting and ignition circuit. The activating circuit includes a second solenoid relay integrally attached to the starter. The primary of the second solenoid relay operates to start the starter when a predetermined voltage different from that of the starting and ignition circuit is present in such primary. This predetermined voltage is supplied to the primary of a distributor relay. This primary closes the secondary of the distributor relay to provide current to the distributor points only when the predetermined voltage is present in the primary. The primary of the distributor relay is grounded only when the starter switch is in the ''''START'''' position.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
60 words
In a starting and ignition system having a starting and ignition circuit operating at a first voltage and comprising a starter switch, a starter, a starter solenoid relay and a distributor; the improvement comprising an activating circuit operating at a second voltage different from said first voltage and operatively associated with and operable to activate said starting and ignition circuit.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
60 words
In a starting and ignition system having a starting and ignition circuit operating at a first voltage and comprising a starter switch, a starter, a starter solenoid relay and a distributor; the improvement comprising an activating circuit operating at a second voltage different from said first voltage and operatively associated with and operable to activate said starting and ignition circuit.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
97 words
A starting and ignition system as claimed in claim 1, wherein said activating circuit comprises a second solenoid relay having a primary and a secondary and operatively connected to said starting and ignition circuit to activate said starter when said second voltage is present in said primary, a distributor relay having a primary and a secondary and operatively connected to said starting and ignition circuit to activate the points of said distributor when said second voltage is present in said primary of said distributor relay, and contact means for selectively grounding said primary of said distributor relay.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
68 words
A starting and ignition system as claimed in claim 2, wherein the output of said secondary of said second solenoid relay leads to said starter and the output of said primary of said second solenoid relay leads to said primary of said distributor relay, and further comprising a voltage regulator connected to the input of said primary of said second solenoid relay for providing said second voltage therein.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
40 words
A starting and ignition system as claimed in claim 3, wherein said second solenoid relay comprises a casing integrally fastened to the housing of said starter, said output of said secondary of said second solenoid relay being within said housing.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
44 words
A starting and ignition system as claimed in claim 3, further comprising a circuit breaker connected to said input of said primary of said second solenoid relay adapted to open said activating circuit when a voltage greater than said second voltage is supplied thereto.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
87 words
A starting and ignition system as claimed in claim 2, wherein the input of said primary of said distributor is connected to the output of said primary of said second solenoid relay, the output of said secondary of said distributor relay includes an output contact connected to said points, and the input of said secondary of said distributor relay includes a contact arm adapted to be attracted into conTact with said output contact only when said second voltage is present in said primary of said distributor relay.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
45 words
A starting and ignition system as claimed in claim 6, wherein said input and said output of said primary and said input of said secondary of said distributor relay are not coded and extend through the casing of said distributor below the breaker plate thereof.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
40 words
A starting and ignition system as claimed in claim 2, wherein said contact means comprises a contact located within the interior of said starter switch and adapted to be grounded only when said starter switch is in the ''''START'''' position.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
30 words
A starting and ignition system as claimed in claim 8, wherein said interior of said starter switch has a ridge means therein for preventing the unauthorized grounding of said contact.
