Abstract

The invention relates to a system making it possible automatically to trigger a hazard warning signal from a vehicle in the event of an impact or sudden braking. The system comprises a cylindrical box 1 enclosing a metal ball 2 and a fixed permanent magnet 3 placed below the centre of the lower base surface of the cylinder 4. The lateral surface 5 and the lower 4 and upper 6 base surfaces of the cylinder consist of conducting materials electrically insulated from one another. During an impact, the metal ball 2 will be displaced and will strike the lateral surface of the cylinder 5 forming a conductive bridge between the lateral surface 5 and the lower base surface 4 of the cylinder thus triggering the operation of the hazard warning lights.

Description

ta présente invention concerne un système de déclenchement automatique du signal de détresse des véhicules en cas de chocs ou de freinage brusque. your present invention relates to a system for automatically triggering the vehicle distress signal in the event of an impact or sudden braking.

I1 existe des brevets de déclenchement automatique du
signal de détresse des véhicules mettant en jeu des sys thèmes coaportant du mercure ou un ressort. Mais lorsqu' il y a une pente,le mercure ou le ressort seront inclinés par leur propre poids entrainant le fonctionnement du signal de manière intempestive.There are patents for automatic activation of the
distress signal of vehicles involving sys themes co-carrying mercury or a spring. But when there is a slope, the mercury or the spring will be inclined by their own weight causing the signal to operate in an untimely manner.

Le dispositif selon l'invention permet de remédier à cet inconvénient.(FIGURE 1) I1 comporte en effet une boite cylindrique (1) renfermant une bille métallique (2) et un aimant permanent (3) fixe,et placé en dessous du centre de la surface de base inférieure du cylindre
(4), dans une variante l'aimanpourra etre placé au dessus du centre de la surface de base supérieure du cy lindre (6).The device according to the invention overcomes this drawback. (FIGURE 1) I1 indeed comprises a cylindrical box (1) containing a metal ball (2) and a permanent magnet (3) fixed, and placed below the center of the lower base surface of the cylinder
(4), in a variant the aiman can be placed above the center of the upper base surface of the cylinder (6).

La surface latérale du cylindre (5),la surface de base inférieure du cylindre (4) et la surface de base su
périeure du cylindre (6) sont constituées de matières conductrices isolées électriquement l'une de l'autre.The lateral surface of the cylinder (5), the lower base surface of the cylinder (4) and the base surface su
of the cylinder (6) consist of conductive materials electrically insulated from each other.

(FIGURE 2) Lors d'une décélération brutale ou d'un choc,la bille métallique (2)entrainée par la force d'inertie et par celle du véhicule,sera déplacée et heur
tera la surface latérale du cylindre (5)faisant le pont conducteur entre la surface latérale du cylindre (5) et la surface de base inférieure du cylindre (4)ou la surface de base supérieure du cylindre (6).Ce contact établi,les feux de détresse se déclencheront automatique
ment.(FIGURE 2) During a sudden deceleration or an impact, the metal ball (2) driven by the inertial force and by that of the vehicle, will be moved and hit
the lateral surface of the cylinder (5) forming the conductive bridge between the lateral surface of the cylinder (5) and the lower base surface of the cylinder (4) or the upper base surface of the cylinder (6). hazard warning lights will fire automatically
is lying.

Au repos, la bille métallique est rappelée au centre de la surface de base inférieure du cylindre (4) grace à l'aimant permanent (3).Les chocs verticaux sont absor bés par les surfaces de base inférieure (4) et supéri
eure (6) du cylindre.At rest, the metal ball is returned to the center of the lower base surface of the cylinder (4) thanks to the permanent magnet (3). Vertical shocks are absorbed by the lower base surfaces (4) and upper
cylinder (6).

(FIGURE 3) Selon une autre forme de l'invention r la bille peut etre utilisée comme conducteur magnétique.Le système selon 1'invention comporte alors un inverseur I.L.S.(7), une bille métallique (2),un aimant permanent
(3), un boitier cylindrique (1).(FIGURE 3) According to another form of the invention, the ball can be used as a magnetic conductor. The system according to the invention then comprises an ILS inverter (7), a metal ball (2), a permanent magnet
(3), a cylindrical housing (1).

Lors d'une décélération brutale ou d'un choc,la bille métallique (2) entrainée par sa force d'inertie, roule dans son compartiment (l),l'inverseur I LS. (7) ,éloigné momentanément du champ magnétique se bascule.Cela dé
clenche l'allumage automatique des feux de détresse.During a sudden deceleration or an impact, the metal ball (2) driven by its inertial force, rolls in its compartment (l), the inverter I LS. (7), momentarily removed from the magnetic field tilts.
activates the automatic lighting of the hazard warning lights.

Au repos, après la décélération ou le choc, la bille métallique est appelée à sa position initiale (axe inverseur I.L.S. (7) aimant (3), par la force magnétique. At rest, after deceleration or impact, the metal ball is called to its initial position (reversing axis I.L.S. (7) magnet (3), by magnetic force.

Dans les deux variantes de l'invention, il est prévu
que le conducteur pourra arreter le fonctionnement du système de déclenchement automatique par action sur le commutateur normal des feux de détresse. In the two variants of the invention, provision is made
that the driver can stop the operation of the automatic trigger system by pressing the normal hazard warning switch.
