  DEVICE FOR AUXILIARY LIGHTS THAT CAN BE MOUNTED ON MOTOR VEHICLES

  The present invention relates to an auxiliary light device which can

  be mounted on motor vehicles.

  As we know, motor vehicles are equipped with optical groups

  rear, i.e. position, stop and direction lights. It is well known that these rear optical groups are arranged on the

  lower part of the body, that is to say at the edges la-

teral.

  Therefore, it is obvious that in the case where several motor vehicles

  drive them in a column, when the driver of the first vehicle applies the brakes, the relative signaling can only be detected

  by the driver immediately following it.

  Drivers of the following vehicles cannot detect

  this stop signal which is then hidden by the vehicle pre-

yield.

  Therefore, in practice, the time interval between the action of the first

  driver and detection of this action by the last driver

  of the column depends exclusively on the speed of the reflexes of the conduc-

intermediate teachers.

  Naturally, when driving at high speed, even if this speed

  deity is very great, there is inevitably a dangerous rapprochement of

  column vehicles with possibility of buffering.

  Currently, there are signal repeater devices which are arranged inside the motor vehicle, up to the level

  rear window and on both sides of the latter.

  34 Nevertheless, these repeater devices can easily be out of adjustment and 2 -

  therefore not being able to function properly.

  In addition, these repeater devices, because of their particular arrangement

  particular, can create dangerous reflections, liable to disturb

  manage the driver's visual field through the rear-view mirror.

  The object of the present invention is therefore to eliminate the men-

  mentioned above by making an auxiliary light device or accessory

  binders which can be mounted on motor vehicles and which allow

  detection of possible light signals from a first vehicle

  the automobile by the drivers of the following vehicles.

  A particular object of the present invention is to provide an auxiliary light device which can be mounted on motor vehicles which

  is perfectly stable in all conditions.

  Another object of the present invention is to make a light device

  auxiliaries which can be fitted to motor vehicles which do not

  that no reflections dangerous for the driver.

  Finally, one of the aims of the present invention is to provide an auxiliary light device which can be mounted on motor vehicles which

  is formed by a reduced number of component elements, so as to form

  sea a very practical and functional set for the user.

  The objects mentioned above, as well as others which will emerge more clearly below, are obtained by an auxiliary light device according to the present invention which can be mounted on motor vehicles, characterized in that said device comprises a profiled element having

  an appropriate length, with suitable and suitable fixing means

  both at its two ends of the corresponding optical groups.

  Advantageously, the optical groups mentioned above can

  wind reproduce in a partial or complete way and - from an exclusively functional point of view, the rear optical groups of the motor vehicle 3 - and may include one or more bulbs, suitably connected to the electrical installation of said motor vehicle, so

  to reproduce the stop and / or direction and / or position signals

tion of said vehicle.

  In addition, the profiled element may have any profile section, possibly able to give said profiled element characteristics

particular functional.

  Indeed, one can form, in one or more parts of said element pro-

  spun, concave surfaces, suitably oriented relative to the direction

  of the vehicle so that this profiled element can function

  ner like a "spoiler" where you can form noticeably vertical slits

  them to route the air to the rear window.

  Said equipped profiled element is preferably fixed, in correspondence a-

  with the top of the rear window with a horizontal orientation.

  Of course, this profiled element can also be attached directly or

  using suitable support means on the roof of the vehicle.

  Other characteristics and advantages of the auxiliary light device

  according to the invention which can be mounted on motor vehicles,

  better from the following description of a preferred embodiment

  rée of the device and the attached drawing in which:

  Figure 1 shows the auxiliary light device mounted in corres-

  ponding with the top of the rear window of a motor vehicle.

  With reference to the figure mentioned above, the auxiliary light device

  binders according to the invention comprises a profiled element 1 having a length

  related to the width of the roof 2 of the motor vehicle.

  This profiled element 1 obtained by using suitable materials, is provided with suitable fixing means and comprises at its ends -4-

  corresponding optical groups 3.

  The latter are provided with one or more bulbs connected by means of small cables to the supply of the position and / or stop and / or direction lights of the motor vehicle.

  The preceding description and the observation of the appended drawing show

  be the functional qualities and the ease of use which characterize the auxiliary light device according to the present invention which can be

  mounted on motor vehicles.
