The present invention relates to a device for displaying, on the rear window of motor vehicles, the mandatory "distinctive signs", concerning young drivers (disc A), drivers in accompanied driving (disc logo), and other possible future .

 The traditional display is produced by adhesive, electrostatic, magnetic discs. These discs are not reliable displays for various reasons: humidity, fogging, dust, no installation marks. They are a source of oversight, theft, deterioration in outdoor displays. They degrade vehicles: defogger resistances or damaged paint. Finally, they regularly put drivers in violation.

l'automobile. Le conducteur concerné insère dans cette pochette un feuillet mobile, portant un des"signes distinctifs"obligatoires (à ce jour"jeune conducteur"ou"conduite accompagnée"). Ce feuillet mobile est aisément retiré lors d'utilisation du véhicule par tout autre conducteur non concerné par ces affichages obligatoires. The present invention overcomes all these drawbacks. It has a fixed pocket, which is permanently bonded to the rear window of

the automobile. The driver concerned inserts into this pocket a loose leaf, bearing one of the mandatory "distinctive signs" (to date "young driver" or "accompanied driving"). This loose-leaf is easily removed when the vehicle is used by any other driver not affected by these mandatory displays.

The accompanying drawings illustrate the invention: + Figures 1 and 2 show the fixed pocket.

. Figures 3, 4 and 5 show the loose sheets.

With reference to these drawings, the device comprises a fixed pocket (1), made of transparent plastic, closed on three sides. The fourth side (4) is fully open and on the inside of the fixed pocket (fig 2) a cutout (3) facilitates the introduction and removal of the mobile sheet (5). Adjustable self-adhesive studs (2) allow the installation of the fixed pocket (1) by its external face (figl) on the rear window of the car. These adjustable self-adhesive pads (2) are of sufficient thickness to allow the proper functioning of the demister.

 The mobile sheet (5), made of transparent, semi-rigid plastic, is inserted into the fixed pocket (1). It has two rounded corners (8) to facilitate its installation. It bears on its outer face (fig 3 and fig 5) one of the compulsory "distinctive signs" (6). Its inner face (fig 4) is used to support road prevention operations, professional advertisements (driving schools, car manufacturers, insurance) or other messages

 not planned to date. This print (7) must have exactly the same dimension as the compulsory "distinctive sign" (6) and be placed strictly back to back with it. An opaque process prevents the scrambling of the two messages by transparency.

 The regulatory dimensions of the "obligatory distinctive sign (6) will determine the dimensions of the device. The loose-leaf (5) preferably has the minimum dimension (fig 3), but industrial manufacturing processes will determine the need or no margins (9). and their ideal size (fig 5). The fixed pocket (1) will then be dimensioned so as to receive, in close fit, the movable sheet (5).

 The fixed pocket (l), the mobile sheet (5) and the self-adhesive pads (2) are transparent, resist the interior heat of a vehicle, humidity, ultra-violet rays, and retain these qualities. for at least three years. The impression of the "compulsory distinctive sign" (6) allows the latter to resist these same conditions.
