Abstract:
An obstruction detecting system for identifying the existence of an obstruction or a partial obstruction in or at the opening of a motor vehicle exhaust pipe. The obstruction detecting system may include a sensor having the ability to detect an obstruction or a partial obstruction in a motor vehicle exhaust system. The obstruction detecting system may include a logic device, a plurality of relays, an alarm, and a motor. The obstruction detecting system may be contained in a housing that is capable of being mounted in or near a motor vehicle exhaust system. When the obstruction detecting system senses an obstruction or a partial obstruction in or at the opening of the exhaust pipe, the system may send an electrical signal to an alarm, which may be a visual alarm, an audible alarm, or both. The alarm may be located in the vehicle control panel, and may alert the operator and passengers of a motor vehicle of an obstruction or a partial obstruction in or at the opening of a motor vehicle exhaust pipe, when the motor is operating. The obstruction detecting system may send an electrical signal to a motor for the purpose of lowering a window in a motor vehicle.
