Abstract

Flashing device for vehicle lights with built-in fault detector, whose intermittency is achieved from a flexible sheet subjected to the tension of a thermodilatable wire under the passage of electric current, unbalancing said sheet another contiguous commutator sheet subjected to the abrupt movement that communicates a bistable spring, being supported the specified set, which is protected by an adequate coverage, on an insulating base through which terminally appear connection terminals, characterizing the device described by being combined with a fault detector that remains located inside the aforementioned coverage, being constituted by a magnetic metal plate that affects the inverted "U" shape with one. Upper prolongation, a coil winding on one of the legs of the "U", thereby forming an intensity relay acting on an oscillating body provided in the interior extension that offers one of the terminals that has the base of the device, remaining said oscillating body responsible for closing by attraction the electromagnetic circuit when the lamps of the vehicle consume the programmed electrical energy, with which a pilot light point easily observable by the driver is kept on, this point being left off at the moment when the intensity of the the specified consumption decreases as a result of any failure or melting of one of the lamps, since in these circumstances the electromagnetic circuit remains open since the mentioned oscillating body is not attracted.
