Abstract

1303129 Road traffic signals on vehicles WESTFALISCHE METALL INDUSTRIE KG HUECK & CO 6 April 1970 [5 April 1969] 16196/70 Heading G4Q [Also in Division H2] In a vehicle lighting system having flashing direction indicator lamps which may be dimmed by series resistors, the resistors are switched in and out of circuit by a relay acting in synchronism with the flash generator, this relay only being operable when the side or head lamps of the vehicle are switched on. The relay is voltage operated and is arranged to have a delay action greater than that of an electromagnetic monitoring means associated with the flash generator. The synchronous switching of the resistor ensures that the difference between the "day" and "night" currents in the monitoring system are not too great whereby the flash frequency of the hot wire generator remains nearly constant; also, the pilot lamps operated by the monitoring system give acorrect indication both at day and night. In the embodiment of Fig. 1, flash generator BG controls front flash lamps BLV, rear flash lamps BLh and trailer flash lamps BLA on operation of a direction indicator switch FR to position L or R. A light switch LS switches on side lamps St in position I and main beam head lamp F or dipped beam head lamp Ab in position II depending upon the position of dip switch AbS. A brake light switch BrS switches on vehicle brake lamps Br and trailer brake lamps BrA. Movement of switch LS to position I or II also energizes relay TN2 to open contacts K5, K6 and insert resistors R5, R6 in series with the brake lamps Br, BrA. Also, relay contact K7 is closed so that the winding of relay TN1 is energized across the terminals L, R of the switch FR when that switch is operated and relay TN1 then operates in synchronism with the flash generator BG. This causes flashing of the indicator lamps in the appropriate side of the vehicle and also flashing of pilot lamps C1, C2. When relay TN1 is energized it opens contacts K1 ... K4 to connect resistors R1 ... R4 in series with respective rear flash lamps BLh and trailer flash lamps BLA. In fog conditions a switch ZS may be opened to render the relays TN2 and TN1 inoperative. In a modification (Fig. 2, not shown) the relay TN2 is omitted and instead the light switch LS has additional contacts to permit energization of the relay TN1. In a further modification (Fig. 3, not shown) the vehicle has fog head lamps and fog tail lamps operated by separate switches and when the fog lamps are energized the relays TN1 and TN2 are rendered inoperative. Also, the fog head lamps can only be energized when the dipped beam head lamps Ab are energized. A further switch causes all the direction indicator lamps to be simultaneously flashed to indicate an emergency and the operation of this switch renders the relays TN1, TN2 inoperative.
