Abstract (en)

This invention relates to a device for giving an alarm for failure to draw out an engine key (7) for a vehicle. A key cylinder lock comprises an outer tubular member (2), and an inner tubular member (5) rotatably provided within the outer tubular member (2). A key (7) having a magnet (g1, g2) is inserted into the inner tubular member (5). A switch member which is turned ON when the magnet key (7) is inserted into the inner tubular member (5) by a power delivered from a power supply (15) provided in the vehicle is provided in the outer tubular member (2). On the other hand, a door switch (12) which is turned ON when the door of the vehicle is opened is provided. An alarm unit (14) is connected to both the door switch (12) and the switch member (11). Thus, when the door of the vehicle is opened with the magnet key (7) being inserted into the key cylinder lock (2, 5) as it is, the alarm unit (14) produces an alarm, thus to inform a driver that he forgets to draw out the key (7). <IMAGE>
