Abstract

The subject of the invention relates to a safety device improving visual road signalling of vehicles. It consists of the combination of the positioning of the differently coloured rear lights 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 with the control of the latter being automated and synchronised with the driving or stopping of the vehicle by connection with a driving-monitoring member synchronised with the movement of the vehicle. It is intended to be fitted to any road vehicle with two or four wheels, or the like, intended to allow the users to determine whether an illuminated vehicle is driving or stopped.

Description

L'objet de l'invention concerne un dispositif de sécurité améliorant la signalisation lumineuse routière des véhicules. The object of the invention relates to a safety device improving the road light signaling of vehicles.

Il est destiné à équiper tous les véhicules routiers à deux et quatre roues ou autres, afin de permettre aux usagers de déterminer si un véhicule éclairé est en marche ou à l ' arrêt.  It is intended to equip all road vehicles with two and four wheels or others, in order to allow users to determine whether an illuminated vehicle is running or stopped.

L'éclairage actuel des véhicules est constitué par un ou deux feux rouges arrières s'il s'agit de voitures auto mobiles ou motocycles, mais si cet éclairage conventionnel permet de constater la présence d'un véhicule sur la route, il ne donne pas la possibilité de distinguer si ce dernier est arrêté ou en mouvement ou encore d'apprécier la distance qui le sépare de ces points lumineux et de ce fait la plupart des accidents lors de la circulation de nuit proviennent de ces deux facteurs. The current lighting of vehicles consists of one or two rear red lights in the case of mobile cars or motorcycles, but if this conventional lighting indicates the presence of a vehicle on the road, it does not give the possibility of distinguishing whether the latter is stopped or in motion or even of appreciating the distance which separates it from these luminous points and therefore most accidents during night traffic arise from these two factors.

Le dispositif suivant l'invention supprime ces inconvénients et donne la possibilité de signaler non seulement la présence et l'encombrement du véhicule, mais surtout d'indiquer aux autres usagers s ' il est en mouvement ou arrêté ce qui permet d'apprécier les distances séparant le véhicule en mouvement de celui arrêté en obligeant le conducteur qui s'approche de- ce dernier à freiner avant son approche, le passage d'un éclairage à l'autre étant synchronisé avec la marche du véhicule est comman dé préférentiellement par le câble du compteur de vitesse. The device according to the invention eliminates these drawbacks and gives the possibility of signaling not only the presence and size of the vehicle, but above all to indicate to other users whether it is in motion or stopped, which makes it possible to appreciate the distances. separating the moving vehicle from that stopped by forcing the driver who approaches it to brake before its approach, the passage from one light to the other being synchronized with the running of the vehicle is preferably controlled by the cable of the speedometer.

Il est constitué par la combinaison du positionnement des feux arrières de couleurs différentes avec la commande de ces derniers automatisés et synchronisés avec la marche ou l ' arrêt du véhicule par connexion avec un organe de contrôle de marche synchronisé avec le déplacement du véhicule. It is made up of the combination of the positioning of the rear lights of different colors with the control of the latter, automated and synchronized with the starting or stopping of the vehicle by connection with a running control device synchronized with the movement of the vehicle.

Sur les dessins annexés, donnés à titre d'exemple non limitatif, d'une des formes de réalisation de l'objet de l'invention
La figure 1 représente le schéma mécanique d'alternance d'éclairage marche et arrêt.
In the accompanying drawings, given by way of nonlimiting example, of one of the embodiments of the subject of the invention
FIG. 1 represents the mechanical diagram of alternating on and off lighting.

La figure 2 montre dans les mêmes conditions un système électronique de commande. Figure 2 shows under the same conditions an electronic control system.

La figure 3 est une vue en élévation du double éclairage arrière, arrêt, marche d'un véhicule.  Figure 3 is an elevational view of the rear double lighting, stop, running of a vehicle.

Le dispositif consistant en une signalisation basée sur le réflexe d'un conducteur lors de la- vision d'une couleur signalisatrice modifiant l'éclairage arrière d'un véhicule en ajoutant à la signalisation classique rouge qui signale un danger avant une émission colorée par exemple en vert, signalant une circulation normale le tout commandé préférentiellement par le compteur de vitesse ou autre organe approprié synchronisé avec le mouvement du véhicule. The device consisting of a signaling based on the reflex of a driver when viewing a signaling color modifying the rear lighting of a vehicle by adding to the classic red signaling which signals a danger before a colored emission for example in green, signaling normal traffic, all preferably controlled by the speedometer or other appropriate device synchronized with the movement of the vehicle.

La commande peut être mécanique (fig 1) à partir d'un interrupteur 1 ou commander les feux d'origine 2, 3, les feux de stop 4, 5, feux verts 6, 7 placés à l'arrière du véhicule 8, 9 (fig 3), on utilise à cet effet un relais 9 de coupure de feux de ville, un relais inverseur 10, un relais de coupure de feux verts 11, le tout actionné par l'interrupteur de commande sur transmission du câble de compteur kilométrique 12 dont l'arrêt et le fonctionnement sont fonction du déplacement directionnel. The control can be mechanical (fig 1) from a switch 1 or control the original lights 2, 3, the stop lights 4, 5, green lights 6, 7 placed at the rear of the vehicle 8, 9 (fig 3), a relay 9 for switching off city lights is used for this purpose, an inverter relay 10, a relay for switching off green lights 11, all actuated by the control switch on transmission of the odometer cable. 12 whose stopping and functioning are a function of the directional displacement.

Le circuit électronique, (fig 2) comporte un redresseur diodes électronique 13, un commutateur d'éclairage d'origine 1 des feux de ville d'origine 2, 3, des feux de stop d'origine 4, 5 et les feux verts 6, 7 avec relais de coupure de feux de ville 9, relais inverseur 10 et relais de coupure de feux verts 11. The electronic circuit (fig 2) includes an electronic diode rectifier 13, an original light switch 1 of the original city lights 2, 3, original brake lights 4, 5 and the green lights 6 , 7 with town light cut-off relay 9, change-over relay 10 and green light cut-off relay 11.

Lorsque la voiture est arrêtée (fig 3) tous les feux rouges 2, 3 sont allumés. When the car is stopped (fig 3) all the red lights 2, 3 are on.

Dès que la voiture est mise en mouvement le compteur de vitesse actionne l'interrupteur 12 qui éteint les feux rouges et allume les feux verts 6, 7 avec le système électronique, le redresseur de diodes électronique 13 est relié à la transmission câble de compteur kilomètrique. As soon as the car is in motion the speedometer activates the switch 12 which turns off the red lights and turns on the green lights 6, 7 with the electronic system, the electronic diode rectifier 13 is connected to the odometer cable transmission .

Le relais inverseur 10 fait passer l'éclairage des feux rouges 2, 3 aux feux verts 6, 7. The change-over relay 10 switches the lighting from the red lights 2, 3 to the green lights 6, 7.

Lors du freinage le contacteur de stop 14 actionne l'éclairage des feux stop 4, 5 et, simultanément, actionne le relai de coupure des feux verts 11 entrainant l'extincteur des feux verts 6 et 7. During braking, the stop switch 14 actuates the lighting of the brake lights 4, 5 and, simultaneously, actuates the green light cut-off relay 11 driving the green light extinguisher 6 and 7.

Ce double éclairage peut être jumelé avec les feux rouges qui peuvent rester éclairés, les feux verts ne servant qu' à indiquer que le véhicule est en marche et s ' éteignent à l'arrêt.  This double lighting can be combined with the red lights which can remain lit, the green lights only being used to indicate that the vehicle is in motion and go out when stationary.

Toutefois les formes, dimensions et dispositions des différents éléments pourront varier dans la limite des équivalents comme d ' ailleurs les matières utilisées pour leur fabrication, sans changer pour cela, la conception générale de l'invention qui vient d'être décrite.  However, the shapes, dimensions and arrangements of the various elements may vary within the limit of the equivalents, as indeed the materials used for their manufacture, without changing the general conception of the invention which has just been described.
