Description

^` 2~96~76 This is a highway safety device designed for motorists in distress. In this invention, a one - piece retangular lighting unit, incorporated as part of a car's electrical system, i~
installed on the auto's rear dash board. This unit will be electronically functioned to flash a message to notify other vehicles of an emergency; EG: CALL 911 (a universal message).
The unit, as stated above, is part of the vehicle's electrical system,and derives it's power from this.
The invention will take the place of the third brake light now in operation in most vehicles, and is used in conjunction; by the flick of a switch, or push of a button, to change from a solid red stop 1 ight to a message board .
As far as known, there are no emergency units of this nature in existence, and due to safety precautions on both the driver 15 part and other motorists, it would act as a beacon to request emergency service while the driver remains in the car. Many accidents, some resulting in death, have been reported due to the owner getting out of the car on heavily trafficed highways.

In drawings which illustrate embodiments of the inventions, D-l, is a drawing showing front, back, and side elevations with sizing, part numberings, and first and second functions; D-2, shows the location (where it will be placed within the car);
Legend pertaining to part numberings in D-l, and all electrical functions that pertains to first and second functions in D-l; D-3, is a troubleshooting guide for any electrical malfunctions.

The product illustrated comprises of a rectangular one-piece unit that is permanently mounted at the rear of any and all motor vehicles to replace the third brake light now in existence; see-Location of, D-2. The Legend shows a P.V.C. Cover (1), a series of LED Lights (2) which is a solid red, and is the third brake light, to function on and off at the application of the brake.
In emergency, the flick of a switch or the push of a button turns the brake light off and sends a flashing message CALL 911, in two separate functions (Universal Message), see D-l and D-2. The product comes equipped with a special Lens (3) to aid in creating a higher degree of magnification of the lighting system. This is operated by an Electronic Emergency Unit (4) which receives its power from a Cable (5) connected to the elecrical system of the car.
The embodiments of the invention in which an exclusive property or privilege is claimed are defined as follows.

Claims (3)

1) An electronical device for signaling other motorists or emergency vehicles of personal or vehicle problems; comprising of an attached rectangular cylinder hooked to the vehicles's electrical system in which an emergency message is flashed by the flick of a switch or push of a button.
2) A device as defined in claim 1, in which anyone, even seriously ill persons, could reach to flick or push said switch or button.
3) A device as defined in claim 1, in which all operation of the device is operated through the vehicle's electrical systems, and requests help in a message without the person(s) leaving the safety of the vehicle.
