Patent/Trademark
In light of his understanding of automobiles themselves and the skills of automobile theft gangs which were not known by anti-theft practitioners then yet, the inventor of Armour Warrior locks, Mr. Ho Tien-Chin, started researching and thinking how to make a truly effective burglarproof lock for automobiles from 1990. After careful observations and deep reflection, he found that the design of mechanical locks was more expensive, but not as easy to use as electronic locks, and that if a thief wanted to break a mechanical lock, he had to use his brute force to destroy it (an electronic lock is easy to use, but it is easy to be broken by a thief too); this proves the theory that the anti-theft efficiency of a lock is inversely proportion to its easiness to use. Due to simple design and their problems in technical and material aspects, the traditional crutch locks and mechanical locks manufactured by private workshops are so weak that they can not effectively stop any burglaries. Once a new kind of burglarproof lock is invented through unceasing improvements and mental efforts made by Mr. Ho Tien-Chin, automobile theft gangs are invited to carry out destructive tests on it at the first time. After a number of setbacks and failures, Mr. Ho Tien-Chin developed the predecessor of Armour Warrior locks, Leopard Hercules lock, in 1992 (utility model patent no. 80213799).
The first patent was obtained for airbag steel-cover lock in 1994, which was formally named Armour Warrior lock. As the business expanded, Ho Yi Lock Ltd. was established in 1997, specializing in the research, development and manufacture of burglarproof locks. Since then, more than one hundred patents and forty exclusive rights to use registered trademarks have been applied in the countries and regions all over the world (
