Abstract

The system comprises a housing horizontally fixedly mounted in a motor vehicle, and a slider (13) horizontally slidably fitted in the housing and having a central blind hole. A spring (14) is fitted in the central blind hole of the slider, and a micro-switch (SW1) is mounted in the housing. An electrical circuit is provided with two auxiliary hazard lights (21, 22) and is connected in parallel with a controlling circuit. The auxiliary hazard lights are arranged in two upper corners behind a rear window of the motor vehicle. The electrical circuit is connected with the micro-switch so that the auxiliary hazard lights will flash when the micro-switch is turned on.

On a constaté que les collisions par l'arrière dans le cas des véhicules sont un des accidents les plus courants se produisant de nos jours sur les routes et se traduisant par une perte considérable d'argent et de temps, et parfois par la mort de ceux qui y sont impliqués. Bien qu'un grand nombre de systèmes aient été proposés pour avertir de la décélération d'un véhicule se trouvant à l'avant les conducteurs de véhicules se trouvant derrière avant que les feux de freinage ne s'éclairent, un besoin subsiste pour une amélioration dans ce domaine; C'est pourquoi, la présente invention a pour objet de fournir un système de signalisation d'application de frein d'urgence et de collision pour véhicules à moteur qui puisse palier et atténuer les  Rear-end collisions with vehicles have been found to be one of the most common accidents occurring on the road today, resulting in a considerable loss of time and money, and sometimes death. those involved. Although a large number of systems have been proposed to warn of the deceleration of a vehicle in front of the drivers of vehicles in the rear before the brake lights come on, there remains a need for improvement in this domain; This is why, the object of the present invention is to provide a system for signaling the application of emergency brake and collision for motor vehicles which can overcome and attenuate the

inconvénients mentionnés ci-dessus.  disadvantages mentioned above.

On va maintenant décrire la présente invention en se référant aux dessins annexés, sur lesquels: - la figure 1A est une vue en coupe de la présente invention; - la figure lB montre le principe de la présente invention; la figure 2 est un circuit électrique du système de la présente invention; et - la figure 3 est une vue expliquant  We will now describe the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which: - Figure 1A is a sectional view of the present invention; - Figure lB shows the principle of the present invention; Figure 2 is an electrical circuit of the system of the present invention; and - Figure 3 is a view explaining

la mise en oeuvre du système de la présente invention.  the implementation of the system of the present invention.

En se référant aux dessins, et en particulier à la figure 1A de ces derniers, on voit que le système de frein d'urgence et de signalisation de collision pour un véhicule à moteur comprend, principalement, une partie corps 1 et un circuit  Referring to the drawings, and in particular to FIG. 1A thereof, it can be seen that the emergency brake and collision signaling system for a motor vehicle mainly comprises a body part 1 and a circuit

électrique 2.electric 2.

Comme représenté, la partie corps 1 comprend un bottier 11 qui est monté de façon fixe horizontalement dans le coffre ou en tout autre endroit approprié d'un véhicule automobile. A l'intérieur du bottier 11 est monté de façon coulissante un curseur 13 de telle sorte que ce curseur 13 puisse se déplacer librement dans ce boitier. Le curseur 13 comporte un trou borgne central dans lequel est monté un ressort 14. Une garniture 12 est montée dans le boîtier 11 pour protéger l'extrémité du curseur 13. Un micro-interrupteur SW1 est installé dans le boîtier 11. Le micro-interrupteur SW1 est connecté au circuit électrique 2. Comme on peut le voir sur la figure 2, le circuit électrique 2 est connecté entre un interrupteur SW2 du tableau de bord et les feux avant de danger A1 et A2, d'une part, et les feux arrière de danger B1 et B2, d'autre part. En outre, le circuit électrique 2 est pourvu de deux feux  As shown, the body part 1 comprises a housing 11 which is fixedly mounted horizontally in the boot or in any other suitable place of a motor vehicle. Inside the case 11 is slidably mounted a cursor 13 so that this cursor 13 can move freely in this case. The cursor 13 has a central blind hole in which a spring is mounted 14. A gasket 12 is mounted in the housing 11 to protect the end of the cursor 13. A microswitch SW1 is installed in the housing 11. The microswitch SW1 is connected to electrical circuit 2. As can be seen in Figure 2, electrical circuit 2 is connected between a switch SW2 on the dashboard and the front danger lights A1 and A2, on the one hand, and the lights danger rear B1 and B2, on the other hand. In addition, the electrical circuit 2 is provided with two lights

auxiliaires de danger L1 et L2.L1 and L2 danger auxiliaries.

En se référant à la figure 3, on voit que le boîtier 1 peut être monté de façon appropriée derrière la lunette arrière 41, dans le coffre 42, ou autre emplacement analogue. Les feux auxiliaires de danger L1 et L2 peuvent être installés dans les angles supérieurs, derrière la lunette arrière du véhicule à  Referring to Figure 3, it can be seen that the housing 1 can be suitably mounted behind the rear window 41, in the boot 42, or other similar location. The auxiliary danger lights L1 and L2 can be installed in the upper corners, behind the rear window of the vehicle at

moteur.engine.

Selon la seconde loi de Newton, F = ma. Par conséquent, quand le conducteur actionne le frein d'urgence ou lorsque le véhicule 4 entre en collision, le curseur 13 se déplace vers l'avant par rapport au bottier 11 et exerce une pression sur le micro-interrupteur SW1. Le micro-interrupteur SW1 allume alors les feux avant A1 et A2 de danger, les feux arrière B1 et B2 de danger et les feux auxiliaires L1 et L2 de danger. Les feux avant A1 et A2 de danger, les feux arrière B1 et B2 de danger, et les feux auxiliaires L1 et L2 de danger peuvent être éteints à l'aide de l'interrupteur SW2. Les feux auxiliaires L1 et L2 de danger ne sont allumés que lorsque le conducteur actionne le frein d'urgence ou lorsque le véhicule entre en collision. L'interrupteur SW2 peut être utilisé pour éteindre mais ne peut pas être utilisé pour allumer les feux auxiliaires L1 et L2 de danger. Toutefois, l'interrupteur SW2 peut encore être utilisé pour commander les feux avant et arrière A1, A2, B1 et B2 de  According to Newton's second law, F = ma. Consequently, when the driver applies the emergency brake or when the vehicle 4 collides, the cursor 13 moves forward relative to the boot 11 and exerts a pressure on the microswitch SW1. The microswitch SW1 then switches on the front lights A1 and A2 of danger, the rear lights B1 and B2 of danger and the auxiliary lights L1 and L2 of danger. The front lights A1 and A2 of danger, the rear lights B1 and B2 of danger, and the auxiliary lights L1 and L2 of danger can be extinguished using the switch SW2. The auxiliary danger lights L1 and L2 are only switched on when the driver applies the emergency brake or when the vehicle collides. The switch SW2 can be used to switch off but cannot be used to switch on the auxiliary hazard lights L1 and L2. However, the switch SW2 can still be used to control the front and rear lights A1, A2, B1 and B2 of

danger.danger.
