Description

DESCRIPTION
En France et dans beaucoup d'autres pays,les excèx de vitesse @@ommis par une minorité de chauffards cyniques ou distraits,continuent de causer d'innombrables accidents graves ou mortels@Une majorité de conducteurs sérieux et respectueux des Lois et Règlements est disposée à rappeler à tout moment,sur la route,la limitation de vitesse em cours sur le tronçon parcouru, a tout conducteur qui arrive e2r trombe derrière lui et qui se trouve,de toute évidence,en excès de vitesse.L'appareil adéquat n'existe pas.Le dispositif de la présente invention permet à tout conducteur de rappeler au véhicule qui le suit la vitesse à respecter dans l'instant.Par cette incitation et par cette pression exer- cée par le public lui-même,les chauffards seront amenés à la discipline collective nécessaire.
DESCRIPTION
In France and in many other countries, speeding @@ ommis by a minority of cynical or distracted drivers, continue to cause countless serious or fatal accidents @ A majority of serious and law-abiding drivers are prepared to remind at any time, on the road, the speed limit em course on the section covered, to any driver who arrives e2r tumbles behind him and who is obviously speeding. The adequate device does not The device of the present invention allows any driver to remind the vehicle following it of the speed to be observed in the moment. By this incentive and by this pressure exerted by the public itself, the drivers will be brought to the necessary collective discipline.

En tant qu'appareil de signalisation de la vitesse maximum autorisée sur un tronçan de route donné et d'incitation pour le conducteur qui suit la véhicule à respecter les dites limites de vitesse,le dispo- sitif suivant l'invention, comprend une série de boîtiers fixés à l'arrière du véhicule,chacum des hoîtiers portant sur sa face arrière visible un nombre indiquent une vitesse limite.Ce nombre est placé à l'intérisur d'une couronne rouge conforme aux signaux du Code de la route,uti- #isés à cet effet. As a device for signaling the maximum authorized speed on a given section of road and for encouraging the driver who follows the vehicle to respect said speed limits, the device according to the invention comprises a series of boxes fixed to the rear of the vehicle, each of the boxes bearing on its visible rear side a number indicating a speed limit.This number is placed inside a red crown conforming to the signs of the Highway Code, use # for this purpose.

Cet ensemble est éclairé par une ampoule avec réflecteur,placée à l'intérieur du boîtier@La commande de l'éclairage s'effectue à partir du tableau de bord,à l'aide d'un combiné d'interrupteurs formant elavier,la fonction d'éclairage choisie annulant systématiquement les #utres.L'appareil peut évidemment être mis hors circuit. This set is illuminated by a bulb with reflector, placed inside the housing @ The lighting is controlled from the dashboard, using a combination of switches forming a keyboard, the function selected lighting systematically canceling the # others. The device can obviously be switched off.

La figure I est une représentation du schéma de l'ensemble du lispositif. Figure I is a representation of the diagram of the entire device.

La figure 2 est une vue de la face d'affichage,de la série de boîtiersi La figure 3 est une vue cavalière de la série de boîtiers,mon- trant le fond de l'ensemble. FIG. 2 is a view of the display face, of the series of housings. FIG. 3 is a side view of the series of housings, showing the bottom of the assembly.

Des boîtiers (X) de lie série, translucides sur leur face arrière @'affichage sont rattachés les uns aux autres@La face d'affichage d@ chacun des boîtiers porte un nombre (2) représentant une vitesse déterninée et maximum pour un choix donné,ce nombre étant placé à l'intérisur d'une couronne (6) conforme aux signaux du Code de la route,utili sés à oet effet
A l'intérieur de chaque boîtier (I),est placée une ampoule (3), munie d'un réflecteur (4) permettant une leoture aisée du nombre éolai ré-La commande de l'éclairage est assurée par un combiné d'interrupteurs (5), formant clavier et disposé au niveau du tableau de bord du véhicule.
Casings (X) of series link, translucent on their rear face @ 'display are attached to each other @ The display face of each of the housings carries a number (2) representing a determined and maximum speed for a given choice , this number being placed inside a crown (6) conforming to the Highway Code signals, used for this purpose
Inside each box (I), a bulb (3) is placed, provided with a reflector (4) allowing an easy leoture of the number re-controlled. The lighting control is ensured by a combination of switches (5), forming a keyboard and arranged at the level of the vehicle dashboard.

Ce combiné permet d'annuler systématiquement les autres éclairages du tableau d'affiehage,lorsque l'un d'eux est choisi.L'ensemble peut évidemment mis,par aille@re hors service. This handset makes it possible to systematically cancel the other lights on the display panel, when one of them is chosen. The assembly can obviously be deactivated.

Des trous d'aération (7) sont prévus sur les faces latérales de ensemble des boîtiers. Vent holes (7) are provided on the side faces of all of the housings.

Chaque touche du clavier de commande peut être munie d'un témoin lumineux (8).Une fenêtre lumineuse (9),ouverte dans la paroi avant de chaque boîtier,peut faire office de témoin de fonctionnement
On peut assurer le clignotement de chaque ampoule,mais à un rythme qui ne permette pas la confusion avec le alignotement des feux indicateurs de direction,à l'arrière du présent véhicule muni du dispositif.
Each key on the control keyboard can be fitted with an indicator light (8). A light window (9), open in the front wall of each unit, can act as an operation indicator
We can ensure the flashing of each bulb, but at a rate that does not allow confusion with the alignment of direction indicators, at the rear of this vehicle equipped with the device.

MODE DE REALISATION. EMBODIMENT.

Outre les indications fournies dans l'exposé de l'invention,il convient d'ajouter que les ampoules auront une puissanoe de 21 watts s que,pour une alimentation en 12 volts,le sécurité sera assurée par l'utilisation de cible électrique isolé de section: un millimètre carré par l'emploi d'un passe-fil de protection au niveau du tablier,entre moteur et habitaule. De circuit sera protégé par un fusible général et au besoin par un rolai. In addition to the indications provided in the description of the invention, it should be added that the bulbs will have a power of 21 watts s that, for a 12 volt supply, safety will be ensured by the use of an electric target isolated from section: one square millimeter by the use of a protective grommet at the deck, between engine and cabin. Circuit will be protected by a general fuse and if necessary by a rolai.

Le bottier devra permettre le changement rapide de toute ampoule grillée,oette opération étant rendue possible, grâce au caractère amovible du panneau d'affichage translucide et grâce au pivotage de l'ensemble des boîtiers ou à son dévissage rapide par écrous papillons. The shoemaker must allow the quick change of any burnt out bulb, this operation being made possible, thanks to the removable nature of the translucent display panel and thanks to the pivoting of all the boxes or to its rapid unscrewing by butterfly nuts.

Cet ensemble de boîtiers aura use faible inertie,grâce à l'utilisation préférentielle de matière plastique moulée légère et le cas échéant ignifuge
APPLICATION INDUSTRIELLE
Si le Brevet d'intention est délivré,un avis sera demandé au
