DESC:FIELD OF INVENTION
[001] The present invention relates to an anti-theft hook provided for electric vehicle. Particularly, the present invention relates to an anti-theft helmet strap locking device for L1 category vehicles that provides safety and security to a helmet.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[002] Two-wheeler vehicles including motorcycles and scooters are considered to be one of the widely used mode of transportation. The two wheeler helmet, a crucial safety accessory for riders serves the paramount purpose of safeguarding the rider’s head during impacts, thereby mitigating potential damage and preserving lives. Despite its vital role, the larger size of helmets poses challenges for riders due to which sometimes riders opt not to wear helmets or avoid taking a two wheeler due to the inconvenience of carrying an extra load.

[003] Traditionally, hooks have been integrated into a shell of the two wheeler vehicles to facilitate hanging of helmets and other small items. There are several patent applications that discloses a provision for holding mobile devices in motor vehicles.

[004] One such Chinese Patent Application CN1880150A discloses a pedal type motorcycle hook mechanism comprises a hook mounting plate detachably fixed to the front side wall of the helmet box, a center cover covers on the front side wall of the helmet box, a through hole provided at the position corresponding to the mounting plate on the center cover, and a hook passed through the hole and affixed to the mounting plate. However, the cited document lacks advanced security features to prevent theft effectively as the hook remains exposed and accessible, which causes a big risk of unauthorized removal or tampering of helmet.

[005] Therefore, in view of the challenges associated with the above state of art, there is a need for a more efficient, theft-proof of helmet and user friendly hook rod provided on a two wheeler.

OBJECTIVES OF THE INVENTION

[006] The primary objective of the present invention is to provide anti-theft helmet hook rod for electric vehicles.

[007] Another objective of the present invention is to reduce load of a rider while rider is not riding the vehicle so that the rider may hang the helmet to a rod of the vehicle.

[008] Another objective of the present invention is to provide a low cost hook for a two wheeler vehicle.

[009] Another objective of the present invention is to provide a locking mechanism by mounting a hook rod below to a rider seat of the vehicle.

[010] Yet another objective of the present invention is to prevent the helmet from being stolen.

[011] Other objectives and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the following description taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, wherein, by way of illustration and example, the aspects of the present invention are disclosed.
