Definitions

  • the invention relates to a parking time indicator for motor-vehicles, of simple kind and automatic operation as well as to a support thereof, which is applicable removably in the motor-vehicle at positions visible from the outside thereof.
  • a parking time indicator for motor-vehicles which may be fitted at an externally visible position in the interior of the motor-vehicles, comprising at least a display for displaying the parking time indication, electrically actuated control means associated with the parking time indication for actuating it so as to signal the entire parking time duration, from starting to end thereof, by displaying it through said display, said control means comprising a microcomputer powered by a battery and regulated by a quartz oscillator, by means of control push-buttons connected thereto, and adapted to select the parking fee rates, a variable capacitor for varying the frequency at which the microcomputer is regulated, and a driver circuit providing an interface between the microcomputer and the display.
  • the indicator also comprises a separate driver circuit, providing an interface between a buzzer and the microcomputer, and an input/output port enabling the initial setting and re-setting of the microcomputer.
  • the parking fee rate selected by the pushbuttons is stored in the microcomputer which, during the parking time, decrements progressively such fee rate and increments progressively the time lapsed, by displaying them on the indicator.
  • a parking time indicator of the same type disclosed by GB-A-2185137, in which however the electrically actuated control means comprise driving means mechanically connected to a rotatable disc performing the function of the parking time indication, and electrically connected to a switch, which can be actuated either by the ignition lock key or by a sensor sensitive to the engine vibrations or other parameters of the motor-vehicle.
  • the switch when the motor-vehicle engine is stopped, the switch is turned on by actuating the ignition lock key or a vibration switch acting as vibration sensor and operated in absence of engine vibrations, so that such switch energizes the driving means which in turn cause the disc to rotate and therefore the parking time indication to be started and signalled in the indicator.
  • a parking time indicator for motor-vehicles which may be fitted at an externally visible position in the interior of the motor-vehicles, comprising a remote control with a receiver arranged inside the motor-vehicle and provided with an electronic digital clock for the parking time, a display for displaying the parking time indication, and controls for regulating the time, and a transmitter communicating with the receiver by means of radiofrequency, supersonic or infrared systems, which is provided with an electronic digital minute-counter, a display for displaying the parking time indication and controls for starting and ending the parking time indication on the receiver, said receiver and transmitter being both powered by an associated battery.
  • the receiver comprises a receiver circuit connected to a microprocessor and pilot control circuits for parking time indication, through the electronic digital clock, and for other functions.
  • the transmitter comprises a microprocessor connected to the electronic minute-counter and the controls, so as to select the parking time duration, which is displayed by the associated display, and also comprises a coding modulator and a transmitter circuit, in order to transmit the informations corresponding to the selected parking time duration as well as the starting of such parking time to the receiver, which in turn is activated and provides for displaying such parking time indication on its display.
  • the present invention discloses a parking time indicator for motor-vehicles which is made and operates in a manner different with respect to the indicators described in the above mentioned references.
  • a parking time indicator 10 for motor-vehicles obtained in accordance with the present invention.
  • such an indicator comprises substantially at least a programmable microprocessor 11 interconnected to a display 12 of conventional type (i.e. with LED diodes, luminous, electro-mechanical, electro-luminescent, with liquid cristals, with eventual drivers etc...), as well as comprises a pulse shaping circuit 13 built-in with a noise suppressor or limiter filter (not shown) and connected to the microprocessor 11, a quartz oscillator 14 interconnected to the microprocessor 11, and a frequency-divider 15, these components being providing a conventional clock, a set of controls 16 for adjustment of the starting and end parking time, and therefore of the duration of the same parking time, and for the clock regulation, in case of need, and finally it comprises an electric supply 17 which may be constituted either by an autonomous battery built-in in the indicator or by the same motor-vehicles battery, in which case such a supply is constituted by the electric cables (not shown) connected to said motor-vehicle battery, through a suppressor and an eventual voltage stabilizer indicated by
  • the indicator may comprise also an auxiliary electric supply as i.e. a buffer battery (not shown), which is cut in automatically in case of mains supply lack or cutoff, in order to keep all the electric circuit components of the same indicator always under voltage and therefore to ensure a continuous operation thereof, before to reset such mains supply.
  • auxiliary electric supply i.e. a buffer battery (not shown), which is cut in automatically in case of mains supply lack or cutoff, in order to keep all the electric circuit components of the same indicator always under voltage and therefore to ensure a continuous operation thereof, before to reset such mains supply.
  • the display 12 is provided on the considered indicator at a location visible from the outside of the car, and is adapted to indicate the parking starting and end time of the car with numerical digits which are displayed on corresponding positions of the display.
  • the present indicator may also comprise an additional display 19 of conventional type, connected to the microprocessor 11 and arranged within the car at a position visible by the car's driver, for signalling to him both the starting and end time of each parking and the time during the day.
  • Such an additional display 19 signals permanently the daily time and in case also the days and the months of each year and is activated by the microprocessor 11 in the manner hereinafter described, for signalling the starting and end parking time of the car too, which signalling is displayed also on the remaining display 12.
  • the pulse shaping circuit 13 is connected to at least a mechanical vibrations sensor 20 of per se known type, fitted inside the car and sensitive to the vibrations produced by the engine and transmitted to the entire motor-vehicle.
  • Such sensor in particular, is so realized as to generate an electric pulse only when the vibrations determined by the motor-vehicle engine movement have gone out as soon as such engine is stopped, and to transmit such pulse to the pulse shaping circuit 13, which thus is activated by generating in turn the electric pulses for the operation of the parking time indicator.
  • the present indicator operates as follows: on the condition in which the motor-vehicle is still and the engine is stopped, and in which the microprocessor 11 has been set in advance through the controls 16 so as to regulate exactly the solar time and in case the calendar days and months, as well as to count a parking time of pre-established duration corresponding to the duration foreseen by the laws in force, the vibrations sensor 20 doesn't detect the presence of mechanical vibrations of the car and therefore does not generate any electric pulse, so as the pulse shaping circuit 13 remains inactive and doesn't provide for regulating automatically through the microprocessor 11 the parking starting time and hence the parking end time too.
  • the microprocessor 11 provides for the operation of the indicator referred to in a conventional manner exclusively as a clock, through the oscillator 14 and the frequency-divider 15, by displaying on the inner display 19 such solar time and in case also the calendar days and months, while on the contrary the starting and end parking time isn't displayed neither on the outer display 12 nor on the specific positions of the inner display 19.
  • This operative state of the present parking time indicator is kept unchanged even when the car engine is started and such car is driven on movement.
  • the vibrations sensor 20 detects the disappearance of the engine vibrations which are transmitted to the motor-vehicle, thus generating a correspondent electric pulse which activates the pulse shaping circuit 13, which in turn generates a set of electric pulses whose electric-noises are adequately suppressed through the filter associated with such pulse shaping circuit 13, wherein these pulses are transmitted to the microprocessor 11 which identifies them and in response displays the starting and end parking time both on the outer display 12 and the corresponding positions of the inner display 19.
  • the microprocessor 11 is regulated for providing the operation of the present indicator both as a clock, with the same previously described principles, and as a parking time indicator, by displaying the starting and end parking time on the outer display 12 and the specific positions of the inner display 19 and such microprocessor provides for displaying continuously on the two above mentioned displays the time being spent during the car parking and, as soon as the preestablished parking time period is elapsed, said microprocessor stops automatically the count and erases all the parking time numerical indications from both the displays 12 and 19, except the indications of the solar time and those of the eventual calendar.
  • the microprocessor 11 of the indicator referred to is activated for operating under the same just described principles, even by utilizing sensors of a type different than that described, in combination with the pulse shaping circuit 13 and the microprocessor 11, i.e. by utilizing a weight sensor associated with the car's driver seat, which sensor activates said microprocessor when it detects the absence of the driver after that the motor-vehicle has been parked and the engine shutdown, or by utilizing a sensor monitoring the motor-vehicle engine rotation, which activates said microprocessor as soon as such engine has been shutdown after the motor-vehicle has been parked, or also by utilizing sensors of other per se known kinds, which are sensitive to further operative parameters of the motor-vehicle.
  • the indicator is constituted by the same previously described circuit components, which therefore are marked with the same numeral references, and that the oscillator 14 and the frequency-divider 15 are incorporated in the integrated circuit providing for the microprocessor 11, and thus are no more separated from such microprocessor as formerly.
  • this embodiment of the indicator is identical and operates on the same manner of the preceding one.
  • the indicator is substantially constituted by two separated units 21 and 22 each comprising the microprocessor 11, the pulse shaping circuit 13, the oscillator 14, the frequency-divider 15 and at least a display, of which the unit 21 acts as a remote-control unit remotely controllable by the user and formed by a least a conventional radio-frequency, supersonic or infrared operated transmitter 23, which is interfaced with the microprocessor 11 and provided with selection push-buttons (not shown), actuatable by the user for the remote regulation of both the calendar time and the parking time, so as to generate and transmit corresponding radio-frequency, supersonic or infrared coded signals, and the unit 22 acts as a receiver unit formed by at least a conventional radio-frequency, supersonic or infrared operated receiver 24, syntonized with the transmitter 23 and interfaced with its own microprocessor 11, so as to receive the coded signals transmitted by said transmitter and to display the correspondent times selected on the associated display
  • the present indicator is activated and de-activated by specific sensors of the above specified type, incorporated in the motor-vehicle and sensitive to different operative parameters of the same motor-vehicle.
  • Fig. 4 in particular, is noted that the numerical digits 25 of the time indication are carried by a continuous wound band 26 of paper or other suitable material, wound onto a set of apposite rolls 27, which are continuously driven in rotation during the time by a mechanic driving unit 28 of conventional type coupled to and controlled by the microprocessor and the other circuit components of the indicator, schematically represented by the unit 29, and such numerical digits are displayed at a correspondent firm opening 30 provided on the indicator referred to, with the eventual lighting thereof by a lamp 31 or the like associated to such numerical digits.
  • a mechanic driving unit 28 of conventional type coupled to and controlled by the microprocessor and the other circuit components of the indicator, schematically represented by the unit 29, and such numerical digits are displayed at a correspondent firm opening 30 provided on the indicator referred to, with the eventual lighting thereof by a lamp 31 or the like associated to such numerical digits.
  • the indicator is activated and de-activated by suitable sensors built-in on the motor-vehicle, of the described type, in the same specified manners.
  • the numerical digits 25 of the time indication are carried along the peripheral zone of a disc 32 of transparent material. which is driven in rotation in the course of the time by the driving unit 28 associated to the same previously cited unit 29, under the control of sensors built-in on the motor-vehicle, and such numerical digits are also displayed at a correspondent firm opening 30 of the indicator, with the eventual lighting thereof by a lamp 31 or the like associated to such numerical digits.
  • Fig. 6 the numerical digits 25 of the time indication are carried by a plurality of sectors 33 in which a plate 34 of transparent material is divided, which is associated to the above mentioned unit 29 and the considered sectors are respectively lighted up, in the course of the time, by a luminous beam 35 produced by a lamp or the like incorporated in the unit 29 and deviated by the associated components of such unit toward each sector to be displayed, under the control of the above mentioned sensors built-in on the motor-vehicle.
  • a support 36 shaped as a box-like casing for supporting the indicator in accordance with the invention is shown.
  • This support in particular, is subdivided in different zones, in the present example a central zone 37 for supporting and housing the present indicator 10 in the manner hereinafter described, and two side zones 38 and 39 for supporting and housing the licence tag and the insurance badge (both aren't shown) referred to motor-vehicles, but obviously this support may be subdivided also in more zones for housing papers or articles of various kind, together with the present indicator.
  • the indicator 10 may be made as a flat box 40 of reduced thickness, in which all the operative components of the indicator, the controls 16 and one or more displays are housed, said box being provided with projected tongues 41 which may be snap coupled into corresponding recesses 42 provided through the support 36, so as to obtain a simple and quick coupling between the two parts, and the numerical digits displaying both the calendar and the parking time are visible through a correspondent opening 43 provided on the same support.
  • the supply voltage of the indicator operative components is obtained by a battery (not shown), which may be housed within the box 40 or outside thereof, and in this latter case such battery may be housed on the support 36 too, and is electrically connected to said operative components by metallic parts associated with the tongues 41 and the recesses 42.
