In Fig. ' 1 is a circuit for operating vehicle ~ lights, hazard warning lights and a horn (individually or in any combination). This circuit switches the vehicle lights on after the vehicle during a a predetermined period of time was driven faster than a predetermined speed and turns off the lights, when the jar is moving at a speed less than the predetermined speed is the vehicle was driven for a predetermined period of time. The circuit continues the lights on and off and / or operate the horn after the vehicle has exceeded a set speed. * The circuit is provided with an electrical energy source 21, such as for example a motor vehicle battery. A pair of "distribution points" is vigorously covered by a V. divider 29 touches, which rotates depending on the vehicle speed. In this way, a wire 36 is an electrical Energy source created in the form of a square wave with a frequency directly proportional to the vehicle speed. The pulsed energy source is via a Ttellharz 32 with a time delay circuit. 20 and a flashing circuit 150 connected. '

The "delay circuit 20" will be described below. A pre-correction circuit 40 receives the electrical energy from the "distribution points" and leads them to a trigger circuit bO to, which is connected in its effect to a series resistor 80 for fully opening a switch 100. The switch circuit.

100 -in turn charges capacitors 82 and Qh, the. therefore. make it possible to actuate a relay control 110, by means of which normally open contacts 111 are closed and electrical energy is thereby supplied to a relay 118. The relay 118 closes its normally open contacts 112. The trigger circuit 60 acts to actuate the switch circuit 100 after the vehicle has reached a predetermined speed. After a predetermined period of time has elapsed, the lights are connected to the battery 21 via the closed contacts 112. After the vehicle speed has been reduced sufficiently and the trigger circuit 60 and the switch circuit 100 have been deactivated or blocked, the relay 110 is held by the resistor 81 and the capacitors 82 and 84 for a set period of time until the capacitors 8? and Qk- then discharge, thereby deactivating relay 110. The contacts IT ' ¹ then return to the normally open position, whereby the flow of energy to the relay 118 is interrupted. The relay 118 then opens its normally open contacts 112 and the lights are turned off. When a manual light switch 106 is operated, the lights 19 and 19 'remain unaffected by the circuit 20 and remain switched on regardless of the vehicle speed, with the exception of operation? the circuit 150 to be described later.

The battery 21 is connected to earth 22 and to a primary coil 25 via an ignition switch 23. The opposite end the primary coil is connected to a distribution point 27 which contacts a second distribution point 26 when the distribution cam 29 turns. The distribution point 28 is connected to earth 30. V.'ie Commonly used in ignition systems of motor vehicle engines, the distributor cam 29 is rotatably driven so that it can close the distributor points 27 and 28 and thereby the energy

controls flow to the spark plugs of the internal combustion engine. A Further discussion of this in the context of this description is there-: probably superfluous. -

When the cam 29 is rotated and when it closes. The distribution points 27 and 28 appear on the wire 36 pulsed electric wool. In this way, the speed of the vehicle and the will increase accordingly The speed of rotation of the distributor joint increases, the flow of current in wire 36. Similarly, current flow 36 decreases when the vehicle speed and the rotational speed of the cam 29 decrease. The signal in wire 36 passes through the steep resistance 32 to the amplifier circuit 40. The variable resistance ε-tarid 32 enables the setting of the current from the contacts 27 and 28, - because each. Vehicle because of the battery strength, Depending on the contact distance and other factors, a different pulsed Signal produced. The signal generated by the contacts results from the flow of current in the primary coil 25 when the Contacts. When the contacts open, the opposite begins Strom von'Erde through the capacitor 18 to flow.

The amplifier circuit 40 is a stage with a single transistor 47, the base of which is in series with a resistor 45, a capacitor 44 and a current limiting resistor 42. The current limiter resistor k2 is connected to wire 36 for taking the incoming signal.

"As already mentioned, motor vehicles have different energy sources; therefore the setting resistor 32 is provided for adjusting the signals from the distribution points to the amplifier circuit 40. In addition to the electrical energy source used by the motor vehicle as a motor vehicle, the signal in the wire 36 can be drawn from the power supply from the battery from other automotive electrical accessories such as the radjo or a heater. Therefore, a voltage equalization circuit 120 is provided to eliminate the influence of other electrical accessories on the signal in wire 36. To eliminate these voltage changes, circuit 120 provides a constant Reference voltage of 10 volts to maintain a suitable bias voltage for amplifier circuit 40. This reference voltage appears between wires 48 and 50. Circuit 120 picks up the voltage at junction 24 and applies the picked up voltage to one Transistor 123 that increases or decreases the voltage as necessary. The input to the circuit 120 is formed by a wire 37 to a ί.tellwiuerstand 121, which is connected to the collector of a transistor 122 and the base of a transistor 123. The V.iderstand 121 can be adjusted depending on the particular generated by the contacts 27 and 28 of the respective vehicle signal. The emitter of the transistor 123 is connected via a wire 125 to an ¥ idersxand '-C , which leads to the base of the transistor 47. The wire 125 is, however, a resistor "26" with the base of a trinsistor 122 vex ^ buncien. The base of the transistor 122 is connected to ground potential via an resistor 127, while the emitter of the transistor 122 is connected via a diode 125 and a The capacitor 129 is connected to earth and the earth 22 is connected to the load 121 and the collector via a capacitor 130

A Zener diode 51 ' is connected between earth 22 and the collector of transistor 23. After that, the pulsed signal in circuit 40 is amplified and is inverted by the inverter resistor 49, it is fed to the trigger circuit 60. The circuit 60 has a transistor 64, the base of which is in series with a fixed resistor 63, a capacitor 85 and an adjustable Resistance 62 is located.

The Vorwiöersband biases the transistor 101 in such a way that in the transistor at all times current flows into the collector with such a strength that the 6 volt reed relay is not actuated. Reed relay 110 is connected between ground 22 and diode 102. After amplification by circuit 40, the signal on wire 56 can be amplified sufficiently * to trigger the circuit by reducing the resistance of the Pho.towi of the state Ik and to enable an increased current to flow to the base of transistor 101 and the transistor 101 fully opens, whereby the capacitors 8?
