Definitions

  • the subject of the invention is an electronic warning device, which - when used instead of the traditional arrow with fluorescent stripes on one side and the fog light - is suitable for more efficient warning and thus improvement of traffic safety.
  • Vehicles stranded on the road, moving slowly or being towed constitute a serious traffic obstacle, thus a source of danger to other vehicles, consequently warning signals have to be applied to inform vehicles traveling in the same lane.
  • Passive warning devices - especially when lit by reflectors - can be effective in some cases, but they can only be noticed from a short distance and offer little help in conditions offering poor visibility.
  • placing and affixing the device in order to provide for unequivocal warning and stable fastening is also cause for concern.
  • the warning device wishes to achieve warning with lights by equipping the warning device to be affixed to the traffic obstacle with an electric circuit charged by the reflectors of passing vehicles and a lighting apparatus connected to the circuit, whereby the rechargeable circuit - when charged and passed by the light of the reflectors - turns on and powers the signaling device until the charge is depleted.
  • This warning device has not spread, probably because it doesn't give enough of a warning.
  • the aim of the invention is to combine the known passive warning arrow and signaling lights in such a way as to provide for more effective warning and more expedient ways of affixing the device.
  • This is achieved by installing an individually supplied low-consumption light source in a lightweight device fashioned in the shape of a flat arrow, and coating its frontal surface with a transparent, photomultiplying diffusing coating, and equipping its flat back surface with a magnet, and in a given realization the base end or the middle part (near the center of gravity) of the arrow is supplemented by an assembly allowing for rigid suspension or hanging.
  • the solution according to the invention is thus an arrow-shaped electronic warning device suitable for self-bearing fastening and emitting flashing light,-whereby an integrated power supply, an integrated control unit and connected to them, affixed to the inner side of the back panel, optoelectronic lighting units are installed in a flat, arrow-shaped housing, the outer surface of the back panel being magnetically coated, and the coating on frontal surface of the housing is transparent to light, the coating comprising light-diffusing optical subsystems, and in a given realization the base end or the middle part of the arrow shape is supplemented by a fixture suitable for attaching an assembly allowing for hanging or a snap-on support.
  • the power supply is an extra low voltage battery
  • the lighting units are LEDs
  • the control unit is a free-running multivibrator equipped with a switch
  • the optical subsystem is formulated by fashioning composite lens eyes by varying the thickness of fluorescent-colored transparent cover in front of the light sources.
  • the back panel of the housing is almost completely covered by the permanently affixed (e.g. glued) magnetic plate, in some realizations the housing is equipped with a snap-on support or a tapped hole at the base end or near the canter of gravity of the arrow shape suitable for attaching a hanging or flat spring assembly.
  • Figure 3 illustrates a 15 snap-on support, which is attached to the 1 housing from the direction of the 2 back cover, and using which the device according to invention can be rigidly attached to any flat object (e.g. window glass) from its base end.
  • any flat object e.g. window glass
  • Figure 6 shows a possible form of the 16 flat spring assembly, which can be screwed onto the 1 housing, and which allows for various types of rigid fixing according to which part of the device and in what configuration it is attached. It is expedient to configure 13 tapped holes on various points (e.g. at the base or near the center of gravity on the side ore the back plate) of the 1 housing of the device according to the invention to allow the user to find the most expedient way and position of affixing the device.
  • the device according to the invention offers more of a warning than conventional warning devices, and it can also be affixed to allow for greater stability and visibility, as - thanks to its magnetic backing - it can be attached to the vertical back surface of the vehicle in one simple movement or may be affixed to a slightly opened window or door latch in the desired direction using the screw-on flat spring support.
  • the form of realization illustrated in the figure offers reliable operation and about 10 hours of operation with long-life batteries without the need for battery change.
  • the device according to the invention is economical to manufacture thanks to its inexpensive and simple parts, and offers manifold applicability and fills a void in traffic safety because of the clear warning it gives.
