3. Safety device according to claim 1 or 2, characterized in that the pusher (5) has, on one of its sides, a rib (1), the lower end of which constitutes an inclined surface (11) bearing directly or indirectly against the upper end (22) of the second safety rod (2) when the pusher (5) is introduced into the top of the chute so as to push down the safety rod (3) which then bears on the command of the switch (4) of the base.
4. Device according to claim 3, characterized in that the inclined surface (11) bears against an inclined face (31) of a slider (13) having a parallelogram cross section, the second face (32) of which is in contact with the upper end (22) of the rod (2), loaded by a spring (21) and aligned with the rod (3).
5. Device according to either of claims 1 and 2, characterized in that the slider (13) is made of non-stick material or of hard plastic coated with a non-stick coating.
6. Device according to either of claims 1 and 2, characterized in that the lid rod (2) is a two-part component, the upper part being able to pivot on the upper end of the lower part.
7. Device according to claim 6, characterized in that the lower part of the lid rod (2) has a lug (24) projecting radially towards the outside of the bowl, the said lug entering one of two notches (72, 73) of the chamber (36) depending on whether or not the pusher (5) is present in the chute (6).
The claims below are in addition to those above.
All refrences to claim(s) which appear below refer to the numbering after this setence.
1.-18. (canceled)
19. An emergency call unit for a vehicle, said emergency call unit comprising:
a detection unit for detecting a trigger event;
a control unit for producing a locating signal;
a transmission unit for the repeated transmission of the locating signal to a receiver; and
wherein the repeated transmission of the locating signal is triggered by the trigger event; and
wherein the locating signal allows the vehicle to be found.
20. The emergency call unit as claimed in claim 19,
wherein the transmission unit is a radio key for the vehicle or a vehicle transmitterreceiver.
21. The emergency call unit as claimed in claim 19,
further comprising a position-finding unit for finding a position for the vehicle;
wherein the locating signal is based on the position found.
22. The emergency call unit as claimed in claim 19,
wherein the emergency call unit is configured for transmitting the locating signal at regular intervals of time.
23. The emergency call unit as claimed in claim 19,
wherein the transmission unit is configured for transmitting the locating signal on the basis of a WLAN 802.11p standard, a WLAN 802.11 abgn standard, a WiMax standard, a Bluetooth standard or a cellular radio standard.
24. The emergency call unit as claimed in claim 19,
wherein both an accident involving the vehicle and an electronic emergency call (Ecall) already sent by the vehicle are assessed by the emergency call unit as a trigger event.
25. The emergency call unit as claimed in claim 19, wherein the emergency call unit is configured for receiving a search signal which is transmitted by the receiver;
wherein the search signal is assessed by the emergency call unit as a trigger event.
26. The emergency call unit as claimed in claim 25,
wherein the search signal is assessed by the emergency call unit as a trigger event only if an accident involving the vehicle or the sending of an electronic emergency call has been detected beforehand.
27. The emergency call unit as claimed in claim 19,
wherein the emergency call unit is configured for parallel transmission of the locating signal on a plurality of transmission paths.
28. The emergency call unit as claimed in claim 19,
wherein the control unit forwards the locating signal and further data to the transmission unit for transmission.
29. The emergency call unit as claimed in claim 28,
wherein the further data comprise a vehicle-specific rescue guideline.
30. The emergency call unit as claimed in claim 19,
wherein the transmission unit is configured for transmitting the locating signal and further information to adjacent vehicles.
31. The emergency call unit as claimed in claim 19,
wherein the emergency call unit is configured for receiving a control signal which is transmitted by the receiver;
wherein the received control signal is configured for controlling a function of a system component of the vehicle.
32. The emergency call unit as claimed in claim 19,
wherein a report signal which is received by the emergency call unit and which relates to a reported theft of the vehicle is assessed by the emergency call unit as a trigger event.
33. A vehicle having an emergency call unit as claimed in claim 19.
34. A method for the repeated transmission of a locating signal by a transmission unit in a vehicle to a receiver on an emergency worker, said method comprising the steps of:
