ENGINE

CONTROL

APPARATUS

BACKGROUND

OF

THE

INVENTION

[0001]

The

present

invention

relates

to

an

engine

control

apparatus

including

such

that,

When

a

lock

plate

is

disen

gaged

from

a

stop

sWitch

knob,

the

stop

sWitch

is

turned

on

to

alloW

an

engine

of

a

small

motorboat

etc.,

to

stop or

to

be

in

an

idling

state.

[0002]

A

small

motorboat

is

made

to

glide

over

Water

While

taking

a

sharp

turn

or

jumping

so

that

an

operator

can

enjoy

a

ride.

This

frequently

causes

the

operator

to

fall

into

Water.

Due

to

this

reason,

it

is

required

to,

When

the

operator

falls

into

Water, stop

the

engine

to

prevent only

the

small

motorboat

from

further

progressing.

Thus,

a

small

motor

boat

is

generally

provided With

a

stop

sWitch

for

alloWing,

When

the

operator

falls

into

Water,

the

engine

to

stop

or

to

be

in

an

idling

state.

[0003]

Speci?cally,

a

stop

sWitch

knob

for

activating

the

stop

sWitch has an

insertable

resin-made

lock

plate

that

has

at

the

base

end

a

tightened

Wire.

The

tip

end

of

the

Wire

is

?xed

to

the

operator’s

Wrist

or

the

like.

This

alloWs,

When

the

operator

falls

into

Water,

the

lock

plate

to

be

disengaged

from

the

stop

sWitch

knob

to

turn

on

the

stop sWitch,

thereby

alloWing

the

engine

of

the

small

motorboat

to

stop

or

to

be

in

an

idling

state.

[0004]

As

described

above,

the

lock

plate

is

inserted

to

the

stop

sWitch

knob

to

alloW

the

engine

to

start.

This

causes

a

situation

Where,

When

another

lock

plate

of

a

small

motor

boat

or

a

plate

member

having

a

similar

shape

to

the

lock

plate

is

inserted,

a

third

party

can

start

the

engine

With

out

the

oWner’s

permission.

In

order

to

prevent

such

a

situation

Where

a

boat

is

stolen,

a

conventional

technique

(as dis

closed

in

Patent

Document

1,

for

example)

has

suggested

that

a

transponder

incorporating

an

ID

code

is

embedded

in

a

lock

plate

and

an

engine

control section

is

provided

in

the

vicinity

of

a

stop

sWitch.

[0005]

The

above

conventional

engine

control

apparatus

is

structured

such

that

the

ID

code

of

the

transponder

is

transmitted

via

radio

transmission

to

the

control section

so

that

the

engine

is

started

only

When

a

previously

registered

regular

ID

code and

the

received

ID

code

are

the

same.

When

the

former

is

different

from

the

latter,

the

engine

is

not

started.

This

can

start

the

small

motorboat

only

When

the

regular

lock

plate

is

inserted

to

the

stop

sWitch

knob

and

thus

can

prevent

the

boat

from

being

stolen.

[0008]

HoWever,

the

above

conventional

engine

control

apparatus

causes

a

situation

Where,

When

a

lock

plate

incorporating

a

transponder

is

lost,

a

regular

ID

code

having

the

transponder

is

unknoWn

and

thus

a

lock

plate

having

another

transponder

and

a

control

section

must

be

changed.

In

order

to

prevent

such

a

case,

a

dealer

alWays

controls

the

regular

ID

code

so

that

another

transponder

having

the

ID

code

can

be

prepared

if

the

lock

plate

is

lost,

thus

making

it

needless

to

change

the

control

section.

HoWever,

such

a

control

by

the

dealer

causes

another

problem

of

increased

cost.
