FR2876954A1 - Reflective strip for tire of e.g. two wheeler, has resin for wreathing strip on more visible part of tire, where strip is of diamond grade type and has width of three centimeter and length of thirteen centimeter - Google Patents

Abstract

The reflective strip (3) has resin for wreathing the strip on a more visible part (2) on an outer surface of a tire (1). The strip is of diamond grade type and has a width of 3 centimeter and length of 13 centimeter.

Description

The present invention relates to a device for combating

  insecurity and road safety, to allow better visualization of a wheeled vehicle at all times, depending on its location, and mark an incident on the roadway.

  The accidents of the road are not due to the inevitability but to risks, the speed, the alcohol, the fatigue, the fog. Also, it turns out that most vehicles around the world in circulation are not equipped with pre-signaling triangle.

  The device according to the invention overcomes this disadvantage. This technical means plays a pre-signaling role.

  Its effectiveness is found when the pre-signaling triangle is not placed or has not been placed in time to indicate an imminent danger on the road, or at the roadside.

  This device is supported by the tire, whose external structure (visible part of the tire) is haloed with a continuous reflective strip, or discontinuous of Diamond Grade type, light gray color (the most appropriate), a width of 3 * centimeters, and of a length of 13 * centimeters, glued with resin (* optional dimensions).

  With this device, the visualization of a wheeled vehicle at all times, and at a reasonable distance is greatly facilitated if it is placed on the shoulder perpendicular to the road, it allows to mark the scene of an accident in the two directions by the accidented vehicles themselves, as well as in case of stop and parking dangerous when visibility is insufficient, or even in cases where: - the stop or the parking near the intersections of streets, turns , mountain tops, level crossings; - stopping or parking in underground tunnels and tunnels; - parking or accident on the road at night or in bad weather, fog, in a place without public lighting, a vehicle without lighting or signaling.

  Now, motorcyclists, motorists, and field train drivers will not be surprised by a danger through their route.

  This device will equip the tires of any machine with two wheels, three wheels, four wheels, six wheels, and more, trailers, a set of vehicles, a tractor, a semi-trailer, an articulated vehicle, a double train, the tires aircraft, and all machines equipped with tires. The purpose of this process is to alert and protect, even and react in time.

  The accompanying drawings illustrate the invention: Figure 1 shows the continuous reflective tape tire, and the device of the invention, Figure 2, shows the tire with reflective stripes, and the device of the invention.

  With reference to these drawings, in FIG. 1, the device represents a tire (1) whose outer surface, visible part of the tire (2), is haloed with a reflective strip (3) of the Diamond Grade type with a width of 3 centimeters, glued with resin.

  In FIG. 2, the device represents a tire (1) whose outer surface, the visible part of the tire (2), has been glued with resin of four or more (3) Diamond Grade type reflective strips. a length of 13 centimeters and a width of 3 centimeters.

Claims (4)

  The role of a continuous or discontinuous reflective tape on the outer structure of the tire is useful in these different cases, because road accidents are not due to fatality but to risks: 1) Speed: this device allows to have the possibility to maneuver at 5 times to avoid the accident.   Allows the driver to respond to an unforeseen event.   Allows increased vigilance at night, and a vehicle that pops up in the lighted area can be avoided.   2) Alcohol: indeed, driving under the effect of alcohol at risks and immediate consequences but this device on the tires allows: To appreciate the reality and the risks - A better vigilance - A better appreciation of distances when crossing - A better reaction time to unforeseen events 3) Fatigue: the reflective tape on the outer structure of the tires of a car coming from the right or left, or a vehicle without lighting or signaling becomes visible and allows the driver to have the ability to take the right decisions in a timely manner; fades periods of absence.   In both cases it is to be taken into account that each one reacts differently according to his physical state, according to the product and its quantity, the quality, and the moment of consumption. In all cases the risks are real.   4) Fog: this technical means allows with a minimum of light from even close if a vehicle is across the road. Also in bad weather.   Finally the device according to the proposed technical means is particularly intended for greater road safety: even and react in time.
