Abstract
Abstract A simulated vehicle radar transceiver is molded as a single, unitary piece of plastic material in the form of an elongated body having a large end which simulates the visual appearance of a vehicle radar antenna, a smaller end, and a horizontal projection which is adapted to be clamped between the top edge of an automobile window and the top of the respective window frame.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
147 words
A simulated vehicle radar transceiver comprising a horizontally disposed elongated body having a small end and a large end; a generally planar surface terminating the large end in a plane normal to the long axis of the body; a generally parallelopiped projection extending laterally from the side of the elongated body in the horizontal plane and being of sufficient length to be clamped between the top edge of a motor vehicle side window and the top frame of said window; said parallelopiped projection is provided with a groove along its lower surface which is adapted to receive the top edge of the side window of the motor vehicle and whereby the body is held in the generally horizontal plane clamping said projection between the frame top and the top edge of said window; and the described structure is molded of a single unitary piece of plastic material.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
147 words
A simulated vehicle radar transceiver comprising a horizontally disposed elongated body having a small end and a large end; a generally planar surface terminating the large end in a plane normal to the long axis of the body; a generally parallelopiped projection extending laterally from the side of the elongated body in the horizontal plane and being of sufficient length to be clamped between the top edge of a motor vehicle side window and the top frame of said window; said parallelopiped projection is provided with a groove along its lower surface which is adapted to receive the top edge of the side window of the motor vehicle and whereby the body is held in the generally horizontal plane clamping said projection between the frame top and the top edge of said window; and the described structure is molded of a single unitary piece of plastic material.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
18 words
A simulated vehicle radar transceiver according to claim 1 in which the plastic material comprises elastomeric foam material.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
54 words
A simulated vehicle radar transceiver according to claim 1 in which the horizontally disposed elongated body is generally in the form of a parallelopiped joined to the smaller end of a truncated cone wherein the larger end of said cone comprises a vertical planar surface normal to the long axis of the elongated body.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
34 words
A simulated vehicle radar transceiver according to claim 1 in which the vertical plane of the large end has a reflectance of at least 50% and the remaining surfaces have less than 50% reflectance.
