ABSTRACT
BRAKE ACTIVATED AUTOMATIC CONTROL CIRCUIT
FOR VEHICLE LIGHTING SYSTEM
An automatic control circuit for vehicle lighting whereby to switch on the low beams of the head-lights, all running lights and interior dash lights when the vehicle is in operation. The circuit comprises a normally open relay having an open contact terminal connected to a battery supply. The relay has a coil which is connectable at one end to an ignition switch of a vehicle. An opposed end of the coil is connected to an anode of a silicon control rectifier (SCR) which is normally non-conductive. The SCR has a gate connected to a brake switch connection of the vehicle. When the brake switch is activated by depressing the brake pedal of the vehicle, the SCR is caused to conduct thereby energizing the relay, and through the relay contact applying the battery supply to the low beams running lights and inside dash lights of the vehicle. The control circuit is disabled by manually switching on the high beams of the headlights or turning off the ignition switch.

BACKGROIJND OF INVENl'ION:
Field of Inven-tion The present invention relates to an improved automatic control circuit to apply voltage on the low beams of the headlights all running l.ights and interior dash lights of a vehicle and wherein the circuit is activated by depressing the brake pedal to apply a trlgger pulse to a silicon control rectifier (SCR) for causing a relay to energize, thus making the connection between the battery and the low beams of the headlights, running lights and interior dash lights. :~
Description of Prior Ar-t Various automatic control circuits are known to automatically apply a voltage to the lighting system of a vehicle when the engine is in operation. A disadvantage of such circuits is that often when the vehicle engine is turning it is not necessary to have the lighting system of the vehicle switched on, for example, if the automobile is parked, or if a mechanic is working on the automobile, etc. By continuously applyi.ng a voltage to the filaments of the lights, these filaments thus have a shorter life and it is necessary to replace these headlights more frequently, which is more costly ~ Also, with some prior art control. circuits it is necessary to connect these to the alternator or any other electrical component of the vehicle. This means that the circuit can be subjected to an overcharge, such as when boosting the battery.
q ~ 3 SUMMARY OF INVENTION:
It is a feature oE the present inventi.on to provide an improved automatic con-trol circuit for applying a voltage to the low beams of at least the headlights of the lighting system of a vehi.cle and which substantially overcomes all of the above-mentioned disadvantages of -the prio.r art.
.~ Another feature of the present invention is to provide an automatic control circuit for applying a voltage -to the low beams of the headlights, the running lights of inside dash lights of a vehicle only after the brake switch of a vehicle has been closed thereby permitting the automobile engine to function without the lighting system being turned on.
Another feature of -the present invention is to provide an automatic control. circuit for applying a voltage to the low beams of the headlights, the running ligh-ts and inside dash lights of a vehicle and wherein the control circuit is branched between the bat-tery and the lighting system wiring of the vehicle, and not to any electrical component of the vehicle electric circuit, such as the alternator.
According to the above features~ from a broad aspect, the present invention provides an automatic control circuit for vehicle headlights. The control circui-t comprises a normally open relay having an open contact -terminal connectable -to a battery supply. The relay has a coil connectable a-t one end to an ignition switch of a vehicle. An opposed end of the coil is connected to an anode of an SCR which is normally non-conductive. The SCR has a gate connectable to a brake switch connection of the vehicle. Biasing means is provided be-tween the gate and the ca-thode of the SCR. A diode is con-nected between the cathode and a high beam filament of -the headlights. The relay has a switch arm connection which is connectable to a low beam filament of the headlights. The switch arm is displaced to a close contact position to apply the battery supply voltage to the low beam filament when the SCR is rendered conductive so that current will flow through the coil of the relay from the ignition switch, and through the SCR and diode, and through the high beam filament and the ground connection. The SCR is rendered conductive by moment-arily closing a brake switch which is actuated by depressing the brake pedal of the vehicle whereby a trigger voltage impulse is applied to the gate of the SCR from the brake switch connection to render the SCR conduc-tive. When the SCR
is in a conductive state it maintains the connection of a battery supplied to the low beam filaments through the relay switch arm. The battery supply is removed from the low beam filament by displacing the ignition switch to an "open" con-tact position thereby removing the current flow -through the relay coil causing the relay switch arm to open.

A preferred embodiment of the present invention will now be described with reference to the example thereof illustrated in the accompanying drawing which is a schematic diagram of the brake activated automatic control circuit of the present invention.
DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS:
... _ . __ . . . .
Referring now to the drawing, the control circuit is herein shown as contained within the box enclosure delineated by phantom lines 10. The control circuit consists essentially of a double pole/single throw relay 11, an SCR 12, a pair of resistances 13 and 14, and a diode 15. The box enclosure is also provided with termi-nals 16 for connection at different points -to the electri-cal wiring of the vehicle and -to the car battery 17 only.
The construction and operation of the control circuit will now be described. As herein shown the relay 11 has a relay coil 18 which con-trols the switch arms 19 and 19' which are normally in an open condition. The engageable contacts 20 and 20' of the relay are connected together and to the car bat-tery 17 to obtain a supply voltage for supplying the low beam filament 21 of the headlights 22 as well as supplying an auxiliary lamp 24.
This supply voltage is applied through the low beam connections 23' and 23 when the switch contact arms 19 and 19' are closed, that is to say, engaging the terminaIs 20 and 20' respectively. The auxiliary lamp 24 herein repre-sents the tail light and side light circuits of the vehicle (not shown). The head lamp also has a high beam filament 26 which is connected by the high beam connection 26' directly to the manual light switch 2~, usually secured to the dashboard (not shown) of the vehicle. The switch 25 also has a low beam connection 21', a parking light and a side light coDnectlon 24' connected to the low beam filament 21 and lamp 24, respectively. This manual switch 25 is connected directly to the battery 17 by connection 27. The ignition switch 28 of the vehicle is connected to the relay coil 18 through connection 29.
The engageable contact 30 of this switch is connected directly to the battery wiring 31. However, when the ignition switch 28 is "closed7', al-though -the battery 17 is applied to the relay coil 18, i-t will not actua-te the 1~14~23 :
