Abstract

The device has a transparent plate (1) comprising a black film (1A) for showing security distance of a preceding vehicle. The transparent plate is formed of an electrical case (2). The case comprises four blinking violet bulbs (A-D) and a standard electrical cable (3) for integrating an on/off switch on a cigar-lighter socket (7) to enable a driver of the vehicle to activate the device through the switch, when the security distance of the vehicle is insufficient. Width of the plate is 14 cm, height of the plate is 30 cm, and thickness of the plate is 4 cm.

Description

The present invention relates to a light device of two fixed and flashing combinations to signal to the user who precedes us that his safety distance is insufficient. Since the four-wheeled motorized vehicle exists the most dominant of the other 5 that is the trucks, motorcycle, etc ... For more than 100 years, the safety distances have never been respected (especially in the presence of Until now no light on the vehicle in addition to the turn signals, stop lights, etc ... we reported it apart from a few signs around the 10 routes.There is already an infrared system that calculates automatically our distance between us and our predecessor who electronically corrects his safety distance which is not yet on the market or very little, but the man when he is on a road or elsewhere is mainly sensitive to 15 visuals and sounds.In this case, whether discontinuous white lines or not, signage, speed limitation etc. Many other circumstances prove that a complemen light on the vehicle will be very useful, why not in series thereafter as the third stoplight existing today that will avoid clashes, accidents and save human lives. It turns out that 75% of accidents occur at a reduced speed (lack of inattention) .The device according to the invention makes it possible to remedy this drawback. It comprises in fact according to a first characteristic of a transparent plate on which a black self-adhesive film revealing an arrow with two fixed illuminated heads, 25 as well as the flashing distance security indication.With a housing comprising a flashing central six bulbs including two non-flashing, electronic wiring and a cigarette lighter with integrated switch. According to the particular embodiments of the embodiment, it is possible to integrate a switch on the cigarette lighter socket for easy access by the driver at the opportune moment as he judges that the safety distance of the user who precedes it is insufficient. The reference distance safety must be legible which precedes us without disturbing or dazzling it like the other functions of any vehicle whatsoever flashing, stop lights etc ... The clutter when the luminous device is installed on a rear window to using its three suction cups, one of which must not be obstructed. The mounting remains easy without drilling or special stress. The accompanying drawings illustrate the invention: FIGS. 1 and 1 'represent the situation on the road. Figure 1: Flashing light switched on by driver A, because the vehicle has insufficient safety distance Dl B. 40 Figure 1 ': Flashing light switched off by driver A, because the safety distance is now sufficient for vehicle B. Figure 2 : Representation of the visible side by the user who precedes us as well as other users in double file or the most perceptible. Two movable suction cups (8) are attached to the top of the plate (1) at both ends and a third suction cup (8 ') provided with a rod for adjustment of the standard inclination thereof to suitable for all vehicles. The length of the cable (6) is about 5m standard for all passenger vehicles, it has a cigarette lighter (7) with integrated switch for easy access. 50 The master plate from which is opposed the self-adhesive film letting appear the mention distance safety must be readable by the previous used vehicle B rather discreet on the rear window of the vehicle seen A.This operating by two combinations: a non-flashing part concerning the arrow with two heads of two white bulbs and the other part concerns the mention safety distance which is blinking consisting of four bulbs A, B, C and D. They are purple in color not to overwhelm the view of the used vehicle B that precedes us, in addition to existing functions (brake lights, turn signals, etc ...). According to a variant not illustrated, the size of the plate (1) whose device should not be given the visibility of the rear window. By way of non-limiting example, the plate (1) will have dimensions of the order of 14 cm for the width, and 30 cm for the height and 4 cm for the thickness.

The device according to the invention is particularly intended to visually warn the users who precedes us as well as the most perceptible users. 20 25 30 35 40 45 50
