Abstract

RESUME: which comprises a concave or paraboloid reflector for dipped illumination, the light source or bulb of which remains hidden from the sight of the person who is in front in order that, with an appropriate inclination, it should intensely illuminate the road with dipped light. It is also possible to incorporate a main beam reflector by making the modifications necessary to adapt it to the upper part of a concave or paraboloid reflector for main beam light by removing from the reflector a part of the upper zone as indicated in Figure 2 "C" in such a manner that the dipped light and the main beam light emerge through the same diffusing lens in order to illuminate the road and to obtain a normal main beam light and a dipped light which does not blind a person who is in front. <IMAGE>

Description

La presente invention de denomine REFLECTEUR DE PHARE ANTI-EBLOUISSANT DE CROISEMENT UNIQUE, OU DE CROISEMENT ET ROUTE POR LUMIERE DE VEHICULES qui par ses caracteristiques speciales empeche l'eblouissement des automobiles ou personnes vennant en direction oposee a la notre.The present invention of denomine REFLECTOR OF ANTI-GLARE HEADLIGHT OF SINGLE CROSSING, OR OF CROSSING AND ROAD FOR LIGHT OF VEHICLES which by its special characteristics prevents the dazzling of cars or people coming in opposite direction to ours.

Actuellement les vehicules automobiles sont equipes pour l'eclairage de route ou croisement de phares et reflecteurs avec une lampe a double filament, un pour la lumiere de route qui se trouve dans l'axe du reflecteur et une autre pour la lumiere de croisement qui est normalement deplacee du dit axe pour se refleter uniquement dans la partie superieure du reflecteur qui est couvert dans la partie inferieure par une couvercle pour obtenir un faisceau de lumiere code; sont egalement employes des phares independants pour lumiere de croisement et route.Currently motor vehicles are equipped for the lighting of road or crossing of headlights and reflectors with a double filament lamp, one for the road light which is in the axis of the reflector and another for the passing light which is normally moved from said axis to be reflected only in the upper part of the reflector which is covered in the lower part by a cover to obtain a beam of coded light; are also used independent headlights for low beam and high beam.

Avec n'importe lequel de ces systemes on obtient une lumiere de croisement de bonne qualite sans pour cela eliminer le grave probleme de l'eblouissement de celui qui est devant nous.With any of these systems we get a good quality low beam without eliminating the serious problem of the glare of the one in front of us.

Avec notre reflecteur de lumiere de croisement unique ou de croisement et route l'eblouissement est elimine par la forme et disposition du reflecteur obtenant ainsi une plus grande luminosite en croisement.With our unique low-beam or low-beam and high-beam reflector, the glare is eliminated by the shape and arrangement of the reflector, thus obtaining greater brightness when crossing.

La presente invention (fig. 1) comprend: un reflecteur "A" a forme paraboloide, concave ou tout autre, prolongeant jusqu'au verre diffuseur de faisceau de lumiere de croisement "B" obtenant une inclinaison suffisante de façon a ce que la source de lumiere "C" soit cachee a celui qui vient face a nous, empêchant ainsi l'eblouissement. La partie inferieure de reflecteur est plus longue que la superieure de façon a obtenir l'inclinaison necessaire qui peut ne pas être reflectante, "D".The present invention (fig. 1) comprises: a reflector "A" in the form of a paraboloid, concave or any other, extending up to the lens for diffusing the beam of passing light "B" obtaining a sufficient inclination so that the source of light "C" is hidden from the one who comes in front of us, thus preventing glare. The lower reflector part is longer than the upper part in order to obtain the necessary inclination which may not be reflective, "D".

Le cristal diffuseur peut presenter n'importe quelle forme actuelle.The diffusing crystal can have any current shape.

Pour obtenir une plus grande luminosite on peut adapter des ampoules normales a incandescence ou halogenes.To obtain greater luminosity, normal incandescent or halogen bulbs can be adapted.

En lui donnant un angle d'inclinaison majeur ou mineur on obtient que l'espace de la chaussee illuminee soit plus court ou plus large.By giving it a major or minor angle of inclination, the space of the illuminated roadway is shorter or wider.

Ce reflecteur en plus de fournir une lumiere de croisement, peut s'adapter a des remorques ou vehicules qui por une raison quelcon que doivent eclairer n'importe quelle partie de la chaussee laterale, devant ou arriere sans aune sorte d'ennui pour les autres.This reflector in addition to providing a passing light, can be adapted to trailers or vehicles which for any reason that any part of the side road, front or rear, should light up without some kind of boredom for others.

Avec notre reflecteur ou phare de croisement unique ou croisement et route on elimine completement le grave probleme de l'eblouissement, etant donne la forme et disposition speciale du reflecteur qui l'empeche en lumiere de croisement.With our single reflector or low beam or low beam and high beam we completely eliminate the serious problem of glare, given the shape and special arrangement of the reflector which prevents it in low beam.

Le phare de la presente invention avec ce systeme de lumiere de croisement et route (fig. 2) comprend un reflecteur concave similaire a ceux employes actuellement dans les automobiles (fig. 2 "A") pour la lumiere de route et qui porte une seule ampoule ou projecteur de lumiere double (fig. 2 "B").The headlight of the present invention with this low beam and high beam system (fig. 2) includes a concave reflector similar to those currently used in automobiles (fig. 2 "A") for the high beam and which carries only one bulb or double light projector (fig. 2 "B").

A ce projecteur on lui suprime une part de la zone superieure (fig. 2 "C") por adapter a cette espace du cote exterieur le inclinaison necessaire pour que le projecteur de lumiere illumine en croisement l'espace de la chaussee suivant les normes etablies per chaque Pays, sans que en lumiere de route diminue la puissance d'illumination, mais qu'en lumiere de croisement ne reflete pas sur le reflecteur de route aucune luminosite, ce qui fait que toute personne ou vehicule aoutomobile ou n'importe quel autre ou nous ayons installe les phares objet de la presente invention aura un puissant faisceau de croisement.A part of the upper zone is removed from this projector (fig. 2 "C") to adapt to this space on the exterior side the inclination necessary for the light projector to cross-illuminate the floor space according to established standards per each Country, without in road light decreasing the power of illumination, but in passing light does not reflect on the road reflector any brightness, which means that any person or vehicle or any other automobile or we have installed the headlights object of the present invention will have a powerful passing beam.

La figure 3 represente la meme invention sauf que la partie inferieure du reflecteur a une partie plate et le reste concave; sans pour cela varier le fonctionnement de l'invention. La clarte du dessin et la similitude avec la figure 2 rendent innecessaires une plus ample explication pour sa comprehension.FIG. 3 represents the same invention except that the lower part of the reflector has a flat part and the rest is concave; without thereby varying the operation of the invention. The clarity of the design and the similarity to Figure 2 make a further explanation necessary for its understanding.

Un autre exemple pour mettre en pratique la presente invention est celui represente dans la figure 4. Ce modele est equipe d'une seule ampoule dans le reflecteur et dispose de deux filaments, l'un pour la lumiere de route et l'autre pour la lumiere de croisement qui est couvert dans la partie inferieure avec une couvercle afin que la partie superieure du reflecteur ou miroir soit seulement illuminee, voir les modeles representes dans les figures 2 et 3. Le reflecteur de croisement est adapte pour envoyer un fasiceau de lumiere a la chaussee l'illuminant suivant les normes etablies par chaque Pays.Another example to put the present invention into practice is that shown in FIG. 4. This model is equipped with a single bulb in the reflector and has two filaments, one for the road light and the other for the dipped light which is covered in the lower part with a cover so that the upper part of the reflector or mirror is only illuminated, see the models shown in Figures 2 and 3. The dipped reflector is suitable for sending a light beam to the roadway illuminating it according to the standards established by each country.

Compte tenu de la simplicite de l'invention et la clarte observee dans les dessins nous ne considerons pas necessaire de nous etendre sur plus de details pour expliquer l'idee de la presente invention qui consiste en un reflecteur ou phare anti-eblouissement pour vehicule aotomobile ou tout autre, qui par ses caracteristiques speciales empêche l'eblouissement de celui qui vient devant nous ou en direction contraire a la notre.Given the simplicity of the invention and the clarity observed in the drawings, we do not consider it necessary to expand on more details to explain the idea of the present invention. which consists of a reflector or anti-glare headlight for a motor vehicle or any other, which by its special characteristics prevents the glare of the one who comes in front of us or in direction opposite to ours.

Les dessins son a titre descriptif sans correspondre a une echelle quelconque, etant donne que les dimensions et les variations des diferents modeles changent dans la pratique.The drawings are for descriptive purposes without corresponding to any scale, since the dimensions and variations of the different models change in practice.

Faite la description ci-dessus nous devons ajouter que la maniere de realiser cette invention peut changer, sans pour cele l'essence meme ce cette invention ce qui est explique dans les paragraphes anterieurs et revendique dans les suivants.Made the description above we must add that the way of realizing this invention can change, without for that the essence even this invention which is explained in the previous paragraphs and claimed in the following.
