Description

Description de I~invention Qu'est ce que le miroir-avertisseur ?
Le rétroviseur-avertisseur est un rétroviseur muni d'un avertisseur sonore pour les véhicules récréatifs de type quadl. C;e rétroviseur-avertisseur comporte un miroir, une coquille de rétroviseur en plastique, un système de bras-support, une bague de serrage au niveau du guidon munie d'un interrupteur et un avertisseur sonore inséré à
l'intérieur de la coquille en plastique. L'avertisseur sonore utilisé produit une oscillation sur une plage de fréquence comprise entre 1500 I-Iz et 3500 Hz et ce, à un niveau sonore de 100 dBA.
Cette oscillation particulière produit un son distinctif pour les conducteurs2 de véhicules récréatifs.
L'utilité du rétroviseur avertisseur Ce rétroviseur-avertisseur permet de signaler un dépassement dans un parcours3 à
l'usager qui 1e précède. Il peut permettre aussi d'aviser les autres utilisateurs en périphérie d'un danger potentiel. Il permet par conséquent à cet usager qui le précède de vérifier à l'aide du rétroviseur-avertisseur (fonction rétroviseur) les intentions de conduite de l'usager qui le succède utilisant également un rétroviseur-avertisseur (fonction avertisseur). Ce rétroviseur permet au même titre que les clignotants sur une automobile de signaler notre action de dépasser un ou plusieurs véhicules.
Les avantages par rapport à l'art antérieur Ce rétroviseur-avertisseur permet de diminuer les risques d'accidents lors d'une balade en quad en offrant un repérage sonore et visuel aux usagers d'un parcours.
Présentement, les produits connus sont de type rétroviseur simple sans avertisseur sonore.
Ce type de rétroviseur offre bien peu d'avantages puisque l'usager doit en tout temps vérifier les intentions éventuelles des usagers qui le succède et ce, tout au long du parcours. Quant à l'utilisation du rétroviseur-avertisseur, il permet à
l'usager derrière d'aviser une manoeuvre de dépassement. L,e rétroviseur-avertisseur permet ainsi à
l'usager à l'avant de garder son attention sur le parcours à venir et de vérifier dans le rétroviseur lors d'un avertissement sonore les intentions de conduites des usagers qui est derrière.
~ Véhicule récréatif utilitaire à quatre roues vulgairement appelé VTT.
Z Le terme conducteur désigne aussi bien le genre féminin que le genre masculin.
Le terme parcours désigne ici un sentier, une route ou tout autres vois de transport susceptible d'être utilisé par un véhicule quad.
Description of the invention What is the warning mirror?
The rear view mirror is a rear view mirror fitted with an audible warning for the quadl type recreational vehicles. This rear view mirror has a mirror, one plastic mirror shell, support arm system, ring tightening handlebar level fitted with a switch and an audible warning device inside of the plastic shell. The horn used produces an oscillation on a beach frequency between 1500 I-Iz and 3500 Hz and at a sound level of 100 dBA.
This particular oscillation produces a distinctive sound for drivers2 of vehicles recreational.
The usefulness of the warning mirror This rear-view mirror is used to signal an overshoot in a route3 at the user who precedes it. It can also be used to notify others users in periphery of a potential danger. It therefore allows this user who preceded by use the rear view mirror (mirror function) to check the intentions of conduct of the succeeding user also using a rear-view mirror warning device (alarm function). This mirror allows just like the flashing lights on a automobile to report our action to overtake one or more vehicles.
Advantages over the prior art This rear-view mirror reduces the risk of accidents during a quad ride by offering a sound and visual location to users of a course.
Currently, the known products are of the simple rearview mirror type without buzzer.
This type of mirror offers very few advantages since the user must all the time check the possible intentions of the users who succeed it and this, at the along the course. As for the use of the rear view mirror, it allows the user behind to notify an overtaking maneuver. The rear view mirror allows so at the user at the front to keep their attention on the route ahead and to check in the rear-view mirror during an audible warning the driving intentions of users who is behind.
~ Recreational utility vehicle with four wheels commonly called ATV.
Z The term conductor denotes both the feminine gender and the gender male.
The term course here designates a path, a road or any other see of transport likely to be used by a quad vehicle.
