Abstract

The invention relates to a luminous device making it possible to warn at distance of braking of motor vehicles and thus capable of avoiding accidents due to lack of visibility of the brake lights in a succession of vehicles. It consists of a luminous system formed by a bulb (1) and a casing (4) fixed to the top of an aerial (2) on a vehicle and connected to the braking electrical system (3). The device according to the invention is particularly intended for making braking of a vehicle visible at a distance, in particular beyond the second vehicle preceding us in the case of an uninterrupted line of vehicles.

Description

La présente invention concerne un " feu-stop" dominant qui permet de constater au loin le freinage des automobiles. The present invention relates to a dominant "stop light" which makes it possible to observe the braking of automobiles in the distance.

Lors d'une succession ou d'une file ininterrompue de véhicules, chaque conducteur est avisé d'un freinage par l'allumage des feux-stop uniquement du véhicule qui le précède, ce qui lors d'un freinage brutal peut entraîner de graves conséquences. During a succession or an unbroken line of vehicles, each driver is informed of braking by switching on the brake lights only of the vehicle in front, which during sudden braking can have serious consequences .

Le dispositif selon l'invention permet de remédier à cet inconvénient. Il comporte en effet un système d'éclairage positionné au sommet d'une antenne. Ce système sera constitué d'une ampoule électrique connectée au système de freinage par un circuit électrique. De ce fait, lors d'un freinage, le feux dominant s'allume et permet de prévenir les automobilistes qui se situent en arrière, éliminant ainsi l'effet de surprise et permettant aussi d'éviter l'accident, voire même le télescopage en chaîne. The device according to the invention overcomes this drawback. It indeed includes a lighting system positioned at the top of an antenna. This system will consist of an electric bulb connected to the braking system by an electric circuit. Therefore, when braking, the dominant light comes on and allows to warn motorists who are in the rear, thus eliminating the element of surprise and also making it possible to avoid an accident, or even telescoping in chain.

Exemple: ce dispositif offre un grand intérêt à partir du deuxième véhicule qui nous précède car s'il freine ses feux-stop sont masqués par le premier véhicule qui nous précède donc l'invention permet de remédier à cet inconvénient. Example: this device is of great interest from the second vehicle ahead of us because if it brakes its stop lights are masked by the first vehicle ahead of us therefore the invention overcomes this drawback.

Les dessins annexés illustrent l'invention:
La figure 1 représente une vue de face du dispositif selon l'invention.The accompanying drawings illustrate the invention:
FIG. 1 represents a front view of the device according to the invention.

La figure 2 représente une vue de côté de ce dispositif.Figure 2 shows a side view of this device.

En référence à la figure I, le dispositif comporte une ampoule ( 1 ) vissée au sommet d'une antenne creuse (2) et alimentée par un circuit électrique (3) provenant des feux-stop de la voiture. Ce circuit électrique (3) passe dans l'antenne (2). L'ampoule (1) est protégée par un boîtier étanche (4). Ce boîtier (4) est en matière plastique rouge transparent à forte diffusivité de la lumière et de forme selon les figures 1 et 2 à titre d'exemple. Referring to Figure I, the device comprises a bulb (1) screwed to the top of a hollow antenna (2) and powered by an electrical circuit (3) from the stop lights of the car. This electrical circuit (3) passes through the antenna (2). The bulb (1) is protected by a waterproof case (4). This housing (4) is made of transparent red plastic material with high light diffusivity and of shape according to FIGS. 1 and 2 by way of example.

L'ampoule (1) est vissée dans une douille en laiton (6) du commerce en référence E10 noyée dans une matière isolante (7) sertie dans la carcasse (5). La douille (6) permet le contact avec le fil de masse (8) et le fil de tension 12V (9). The bulb (1) is screwed into a commercial brass socket (6) with reference E10 embedded in an insulating material (7) crimped in the carcass (5). The socket (6) allows contact with the ground wire (8) and the 12V voltage wire (9).

L'antenne (2) est reliée à la carcasse (5) par vissage ou variante tube de l'antenne légèrement évasé et emmanché juste dans la carcasse (5).  The antenna (2) is connected to the carcass (5) by screwing or variant tube of the antenna slightly flared and fitted just in the carcass (5).

A titre d'exemple non limitatif, le boîtier aura des dimensions de l'ordre de lOcm de hauteur. 1.5 cm de largeur et 2.5 cm de longueur. By way of nonlimiting example, the box will have dimensions of the order of 10 cm in height. 1.5 cm wide and 2.5 cm long.

Pour éviter une prise au vent trop importante, il est disposé en conséquence. To avoid excessive wind resistance, it is arranged accordingly.

Le dispositif selon l'invention est destiné à mettre en évidence les feuxstop d'un véhicule nous précédant voire même de plusieurs véhicules dans une file ininterrompue de voitures.  The device according to the invention is intended to highlight the stop lights of a vehicle preceding us or even of several vehicles in an unbroken line of cars.
