Abstract

Device for improving night driving of a motor vehicle. The invention relates to a device allowing safer night driving for the driver as well as for other users of the road, this being by virtue of more accurate vision of the pavement or lower side, in particular when driving with so-called "dipped headlights". It consists of a headlight (1) fixed to the front right corner of the vehicle, making it possible to illuminate a region of the road normally not illuminated with lighting of conventional type. The device according to the invention is in particular intended for motor vehicles, motor cycles and lorries and can be extended to aircraft and boats.

Description

La présente invention concerne un dispositif permettant d'améliorer trés sensiblement les conditions de conduite nocturne d'un véhicule automobile. The present invention relates to a device making it possible to very significantly improve the night driving conditions of a motor vehicle.

Cette conduite est traditionnellement rendue plus difficile et fatiguante en particulier lors du croisement avec d'autres véhicules. Un certain nombre d'améliorations en matiére d'optique ou de puissance des lampes ont permis d'aider le conducteur mais trés imparfaitement jusqu'à ce jour. This driving is traditionally made more difficult and tiring in particular when crossing with other vehicles. A number of improvements in terms of optics or lamp power have helped the driver, but to date very imperfectly.

Le dispositif selon l'invention permet un énorme progrés en ce domaine. I1 consiste en un projecteur ( 1 de type classique à ampoule de tungsténe ou à iode, fixé sur, sous ou dans l'aile avant droite do véhicule. L'axe (XY) de ce projecteur doit former un angle d'au moins 30 avec l'axe (AB) de marche avant arriére du véhicule sur lequel il est fixé. The device according to the invention allows enormous progress in this area. It consists of a headlamp (1 of the conventional type with tungsten bulb or iodine, fixed on, under or in the right front fender of the vehicle. The axis (XY) of this headlamp must form an angle of at least 30 with the axis (AB) of reverse forward of the vehicle on which it is fixed.

L'allumage de ce projecteur est couplé avec l'allumage des feux dits "de croisement", mais déconnectable manuellement en cas de stationnement ou de conduite urbaine. Par contre en conduite suburbaine ( banlieue peu ou mal éclairée), l'allumage du projecteur d'aile est tout à fait recommandé, et d'une trés grande utilité pour la sécurité des piétons. The ignition of this headlamp is coupled with the ignition of the so-called "dipped beam" lights, but can be manually disconnected in the event of parking or urban driving. On the other hand, in suburban driving (poorly lit or poorly lit suburbs), switching on the wing projector is completely recommended, and very useful for pedestrian safety.

L'utilisation de ce projecteur d'aile n'entraine aucune gêne pour les autres usagers de la route, à aucun instant l'axe d'éclairage du projecteur d'aile ne croisant l'axe de vision des autres usagers. Par contre , le conducteur
UTILISANT LE PROJECTEUR DtAILE a une vision parfaite et nette du bas coté ou du trottoir . Sa vue fatigue moins en permanence et en particulier lors du croisement avec d'autres véhicules. Cette fatigue est ordinairement due à ltébloui- ssement ou "trou noir" provoqué par l'adaptation plus ou moins rapide de l'oeil et du cerveau au moment da-passage du mode d'éclairage phare en éclairage feux de croisement l'oeil a ce moment la a tendance a fixé les phare inverses afin de prendre ses repéres d'où ltéblouiseement et les conséquences parfois tragiques qui en résultent.The use of this wing projector does not cause any discomfort for other road users, at no time does the lighting axis of the wing projector cross the axis of vision of other users. However, the driver
USING THE WING PROJECTOR has a perfect and clear vision of the side or the sidewalk. His eyesight tires less permanently and in particular when crossing with other vehicles. This fatigue is usually due to the glare or "black hole" caused by the more or less rapid adaptation of the eye and the brain at the time of switching from flagship lighting mode to low beam lighting. at that moment, the tendency tended to set the reverse lighthouses in order to take its bearings, hence the glare and the sometimes tragic consequences which result from it.

Cet effet est presque totalement supprimé avec l'utilisation du projecteur d'aile
Selon une variante, le projecteur d'aile peut être fixé sur camion ou motocycles. This effect is almost completely eliminated with the use of the wing spotlight
Alternatively, the wing spotlight can be attached to a truck or motorcycles.
