Abstract

PROCEDE ET DISPOSITIF POUR INDIQUER LA CONSOMMATION INSTANTANEE DE CARBURANT D'UN MOTEUR DE VEHICULE. LA CONSOMMATION INSTANTANEE DE CARBURANT EST AFFICHEE SUR LE CADRAN DU COMPTEUR DE VITESSE, RAPPORTEE A L'UNITE DE PARCOURS. LE CADRAN 1 PORTE UNE ECHELLE 5 DE LA CONSOMMATION DE CARBURANT, CETTE ECHELLE ETANT GRADUEE DE MANIERE QUE LA RELATION NUMERIQUE ENTRE CETTE CONSOMMATION ET L'INDICATION TACHYMETRIQUE SOIT ETABLIE PAR UN FACTEUR CONSTANT, DE PREFERENCE EGAL A 10. EN VARIANTE, LE CADRAN 1 COMPORTE UNE BARRE D'AFFICHAGE OU UNE LIGNE LUMINEUSE D'EMETTEURS OPTO-ELECTRONIQUE, ET UN SIGNAL ACOUSTIQUE PEUT ETRE EMIS LORSQUE LA CONSOMMATION EXCEDE UNE VALEUR PREDETERMINEE.METHOD AND DEVICE FOR INDICATING THE INSTANT CONSUMPTION OF FUEL OF A VEHICLE ENGINE. INSTANT FUEL CONSUMPTION IS DISPLAYED ON THE SPEEDOMETER DIAL, REPORTED TO THE TRIP UNIT. DIAL 1 CONTAINS A SCALE 5 FOR FUEL CONSUMPTION, THIS SCALE BEING GRADUATED SO THAT THE NUMERICAL RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THIS CONSUMPTION AND THE TACHOMETER INDICATION IS ESTABLISHED BY A CONSTANT FACTOR, PREFERABLY EQUAL TO 10. AS A VARIANT, DIAL 1 CONTAINS A DISPLAY BAR OR A LUMINOUS LINE OF OPTO-ELECTRONIC TRANSMITTERS, AND AN ACOUSTIC SIGNAL MAY BE EMITTED WHEN THE CONSUMPTION EXCEEDS A PREDETERMINED VALUE.
