Description
La présente invention concerne un équipement pour véhicule, destiné au moins à permettre la protection des personnes extérieures audit véhicule ainsi qu'un véhicule muni d'un tel équipement. The present invention relates to vehicle equipment, intended at least to allow the protection of persons outside said vehicle as well as a vehicle provided with such equipment.
Toutefois, bien que plus particulièrement prévu pour de telles applications, elle pourra également être utilisée dans tout autre type de véhicule ou installation, fixe ou mobile, susceptible de permettre la sortie de leurs occupants sur une voie de passage, telle que par exemple, une chaussée, un trottoir ou autre. However, although more particularly intended for such applications, it may also be used in any other type of vehicle or installation, fixed or mobile, capable of allowing the exit of their occupants on a passageway, such as for example a pavement, sidewalk or other.
Actuellement, lorsque les passagers et/ou les conducteurs descendent de leur véhicule, de nombreux d'entre eux ne prêtent pas attention aux piétons et/ou aux véhicules, notamment deux roues, tels que, passant à proximité. Ils peuvent ainsi causer de graves accidents, notamment en ouvrant leur portière. Currently, when passengers and / or drivers get out of their vehicle, many of them do not pay attention to pedestrians and / or vehicles, especially two wheels, such as, passing nearby. They can thus cause serious accidents, in particular by opening their doors.
En effet, les motards et/ou autres véhicules s'apprêtant à doubler n'aperçoivent le danger qu'au dernier moment et risquent ainsi, soit de rentrer dans ladite portière et/ou la personne sortant dudit véhicule, soit d'avoir à effectuer une embardée, également dangereuse. Quant aux piétons, ils risquent d'être percutés. Indeed, the motorcyclists and / or other vehicles preparing to overtake perceive the danger only at the last moment and thus risk, either entering the said door and / or the person leaving the said vehicle, or having to carry out a swerve, also dangerous. As for pedestrians, they risk being struck.
Bien que ces problèmes aient été constatés depuis longtemps, il est toutefois à noter qu'aucun véhicule connu n'est équipé de manière satisfaisante pour les résoudre. Although these problems have been noted for a long time, it should however be noted that no known vehicle is adequately equipped to solve them.
Le but de la présente invention est de proposer un équipement pour véhicule qui pallie les inconvénients précités et permette d'attirer à l'avance l'attention des piétons ou des conducteurs d'autres véhicules passant à proximité sur le fait qu'une de ses portières risque de s'ouvrir ou qu'un de ses occupants est sur le point d'en sortir. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a vehicle equipment which overcomes the aforementioned drawbacks and allows to draw in advance the attention of pedestrians or drivers of other vehicles passing nearby on the fact that one of its doors may open or one of its occupants is about to exit.
Un autre but de la présente invention est de proposer un équipement pour véhicule qui permette également de rappeler à son conducteur ou ses passagers qu'ils doivent vérifier si la voie est libre avant de descendre de leur véhicule. Another object of the present invention is to provide equipment for a vehicle which also makes it possible to remind its driver or its passengers that they must check whether the road is clear before getting out of their vehicle.
Un autre but de la présente invention est de proposer un équipement pour véhicule qui puisse facilement s'adapter, notamment, aux véhicules actuellement en circulation. Another object of the present invention is to provide a vehicle equipment which can easily adapt, in particular, to vehicles currently in circulation.
Un avantage de la présente invention est de permettre d'éviter de nombreux accidents. An advantage of the present invention is that many accidents can be avoided.
D'autres buts et avantages de la présente invention apparaîtront au cours de la description qui va suivre qui n'est donnée qu'à titre indicatif et qui n'a pas pour but de la limiter. Other objects and advantages of the present invention will appear during the description which follows which is given only for information and which is not intended to limit it.
La présente invention concerne un équipement pour véhicule, destiné au moins à permettre la protection des personnes extérieures audit véhicule, caractérisé par le fait qu'il comprend:
- des moyens de détection permettant de contrôler l'imminence de l'ouverture d'une portière latérale dudit véhicule et/ou la sortie de son conducteur et/ou d'un de ses passagers,
- des moyens de signalisation, aptes à être déclenchés par lesdits moyens de détection.The present invention relates to vehicle equipment, intended at least to allow the protection of persons outside said vehicle, characterized in that it comprises:
detection means making it possible to control the imminence of the opening of a side door of said vehicle and / or the exit of its driver and / or one of its passengers,
- signaling means, capable of being triggered by said detection means.
La présente invention concerne également un véhicule muni d'un tel équipement. The present invention also relates to a vehicle provided with such equipment.
Elle sera mieux comprise à la lecture de la description suivante qui en donne différents exemples de réalisation. It will be better understood on reading the following description which gives different embodiments thereof.
La présente invention concerne un équipement pour véhicule, destiné au moins à permettre la protection des personnes extérieures audit véhicule. The present invention relates to vehicle equipment, intended at least to allow the protection of persons outside said vehicle.
Bien que plus particulièrement prévue pour des véhicules automobiles, elle pourra également être utilisée pour tout autre type de véhicule ou installation, fixe ou mobile, dont les occupants sont susceptibles de sortir sur une voie de passage telle que, par exemple, une chaussée, un trottoir ou autre. Although more particularly intended for motor vehicles, it can also be used for any other type of vehicle or installation, fixed or mobile, the occupants of which are likely to exit on a passageway such as, for example, a roadway, a sidewalk or whatever.
Afin d'éviter les accidents au passage d'un piéton et/ou d'un autre véhicule, notamment deux roues, tel que, par exemple, motos ou autres,
I'équipement conforme à l'invention comprend des moyens de détection permettant de contrôler l'imminence de la sortie du conducteur et/ou d'un passager du véhicule qui en est muni. Dans le cas où ce dernier est muni de portières latérales, lesdits moyens de détection permettent de contrôler l'imminence de l'ouverture d'une desdites portières.In order to avoid accidents when a pedestrian and / or another vehicle, especially two wheels, passes by, such as, for example, motorbikes or others,
The equipment according to the invention comprises detection means making it possible to control the impending departure of the driver and / or a passenger from the vehicle which is provided with it. In the case where the latter is equipped with side doors, said detection means make it possible to control the imminence of the opening of one of said doors.
De plus, I'équipement conforme à l'invention comprend des moyens de signalisation, aptes à être déclenchés par lesdits moyens de détection. In addition, the equipment according to the invention comprises signaling means, capable of being triggered by said detection means.
Lesdits moyens de signalisation sont situés, par exemple à l'extérieur du véhicule de manière à pouvoir attirer l'attention des véhicules et/ou piétons passant à proximité dudit véhicule. Said signaling means are located, for example outside the vehicle so as to be able to attract the attention of vehicles and / or pedestrians passing near said vehicle.
Selon un premier mode de réalisation, ils sont constitués, notamment, par un flash lumineux. Selon d'autres modes de réalisation, il peut également s'agir de tout autre organe, apte à émettre un signal lumineux et/ou sonore, plus ou moins puissant. According to a first embodiment, they are constituted, in particular, by a light flash. According to other embodiments, it can also be any other organ, capable of emitting a more or less powerful light and / or sound signal.
Lesdits moyens de signalisation tels que le flash sont prévus, par exemple, au niveau du ou des flancs latéraux du véhicule. Dans le cas où ce dernier est muni de rétroviseurs latéraux, ledit flash est ainsi assujetti, notamment, à l'un et/ou l'autre desdits rétroviseurs, par exemple, au-dessus. Said signaling means such as the flash are provided, for example, at the level of the side wall or sides of the vehicle. In the case where the latter is provided with side mirrors, said flash is thus subject, in particular, to one and / or the other of said mirrors, for example, above.
Ledit flash émet, notamment, une pluralité d'éclairs de couleurs blanche, jaune et/ou autre, suivant les différentes règlementations en vigueur. Said flash emits, in particular, a plurality of flashes of white, yellow and / or other colors, according to the different regulations in force.
Selon un mode particulier de mise en oeuvre de l'invention, lesdits moyens de signalisation comprennent, en outre, au moins un avertisseur sonore et/ou lumineux tel que, par exemple, un buzzer, prévu à l'intérieur du véhicule. Ils permettent ainsi d'attirer également l'attention des conducteurs et/ou des passagers du véhicule avant leur sortie et/ou l'ouverture d'une portière de manière à ce qu'ils pensent à vérifier que leur geste n'est pas dangereux. According to a particular embodiment of the invention, said signaling means further comprise at least one audible and / or light alarm such as, for example, a buzzer, provided inside the vehicle. They also make it possible to attract the attention of the drivers and / or passengers of the vehicle before exiting and / or opening a door so that they think of verifying that their gesture is not dangerous. .
Cela étant, lesdits moyens de détection sont prévus, notamment, au niveau d'organes du véhicule, aptes à présenter un changement d'état spécifiquement au moment de l'arrêt dudit véhicule. That said, said detection means are provided, in particular, at the level of vehicle members, capable of presenting a change of state specifically at the time of stopping said vehicle.
Lorsque ce dernier en est équipé, lesdits moyens de détection permettent ainsi, par exemple, de repérer un changement d'état au niveau de la et/ou des ceintures de sécurité dudit véhicule, du frein à main dudit véhicule et/ou de la et/ou des poignées de portières dudit véhicule. When the latter is equipped with it, said detection means thus make it possible, for example, to identify a change of state at the level of and and / or the seat belts of said vehicle, of the hand brake of said vehicle and / or of and / or door handles of said vehicle.
A titre d'exemple, il pourra ainsi s'agir, notamment, d'un contact mécanique, situé à l'intérieur du système de verrouillage desdites ceintures de sécurité, aptes à se déclencher lors du décrochement de la ceinture. For example, it could thus be, in particular, a mechanical contact, located inside the locking system of said seat belts, capable of being triggered when the belt is released.
II pourra également s'agir, par exemple, d'un détecteur de tension aux bornes du témoin lumineux habituellement prévu sur les tableaux de bord pour indiquer l'enclenchement du frein à main. Selon ce mode de réalisation, un organe temporisateur tel que, notamment, un relais pourra être prévu afin de permettre une détection pendant un délai donné après la coupure du contact. It could also be, for example, a voltage detector at the terminals of the indicator light usually provided on the dashboards to indicate that the handbrake is engaged. According to this embodiment, a timer member such as, in particular, a relay may be provided to allow detection for a given period after the ignition is switched off.
II pourra encore s'agir, par exemple, de capteurs sensitifs, prévus sur lesdites poignées de portière. It could also be, for example, sensitive sensors, provided on said door handles.
L'équipement conforme à l'invention comprend, en outre, des moyens d'arrêt des moyens de signalisation, aptes par exemple à couper lesdits moyens de signalisation, après un délai donné, notamment de 10 secondes, suivant la sortie effective du conducteur et/ou d'un passager et/ou la fermeture d'une portière. Il s'agit, notamment, de relais et/ou autres. The equipment according to the invention further comprises means for stopping the signaling means, suitable for example for cutting off said signaling means, after a given delay, in particular of 10 seconds, following the effective exit of the driver and / or a passenger and / or closing a door. These include, in particular, relays and / or others.
De plus, comme précédemment évoquée, la présente invention concerne également un véhicule notamment automobile muni d'un équipement tel que celui décrit ci-dessus. In addition, as previously mentioned, the present invention also relates to a vehicle, in particular a motor vehicle, fitted with equipment such as that described above.
Naturellement, d'autres mises en oeuvre de l'invention, à la portée de l'homme de l'art, auraient pu être envisagées sans pour autant sortir du cadre de la présente demande. Naturally, other implementations of the invention, within the reach of those skilled in the art, could have been envisaged without departing from the scope of the present application.
