Abstract

A brake and hazard warning light system laminated within the rear window 3 of a vehicle comprises a light emitting material made from a mixture of sodium and a transparent, electrically conductive glue which has a high flash point. The brake light 1 is preferably in the shape of a bar running across the rear window 3 while the hazard warning lights 2 are preferably triangles. Electrical connections (6) made from a soft metal connect the sodium/glue mixture and fine wires 4 of the soft metal connect the hazard warning triangles 2. A dark tinted filter (7) is placed between the inner glass surface of the window 3 and the light emitting material to reduce glare visible in the rear view mirror. Coloured filters (10) may be disposed between the outer glass pane 3 and the light emitting material to produce a desired colour (red for the brake lights and orange for the hazard lights).

Description

H.B.S.
This invention relates to a new style of high visual Brake light and}lazard warning lights, tatted to motor vehicles.
When travelling in a car, whether you are the driver or the passenger, you main point of view is the rear window of the car in front, or the vehicle you are following.
Even through, over the last few years nearly all of the car manufactures have fitted as standard, some form of brake light a round the rear window of there cars, usually with in a spoiler or with in a body panel. Where as some manufactures still use a system of placing the said brake light in side the car so it can been seen throw the glass of the rear window, when the foot brake is applied. The only problem with this latter system is that all these lights are fitted with a form of shield to prevent any light showing on the rear window of the car, and distracting the driver via the rear view mirror. No matter how good the shield is there is still a curtain amount of light to bleed onto the rear window of the car.
T he H.13.S. system incorporates the brake light as well as the hazard warning lights, with in the glass of the rear window. And by using tinting on the inside of the window for these lights, thus there will not be a problem with the light coursing a distraction to the driver of the car via the rear view mirror.
This is achieved by replacing the single pain of glass, and using a laminated pain of glass instead, with a mixture of Sodium and a transparent, conductive glue with a high flash point, set out in a bar / or tr,al.gle formation. And by using different coloured films to change the colour of the light. Either version ofthe H.B.S. can be connected to the cars original electrics.
The invention will now inscribed solely by way of example and with reference to the accompanying drawings in which; Figure I, shows one of the versions of the 1 1. F3. S., with a brake light bar And Hazard warning triangle.
Figure 2, shows how all the components are put together.
Figure 3, shows a side view of how all the components are put together.
Figure 4, shows the salt metal connectors required to link the sodium and glue mixture to the cars electrical source. As well as the fine wire to link the hazard warning triangles.
Figure 5, shows the top view of the soft metal connectors.
Figure 6, shrews another version of the f I..S., instead of using the brake light bar and hazard warning triangle, it uses two blocks with in the black glue strip around the rear widows glass.
In tenure I and figure 2, number I indicates the sodium and glue mix as the brake light bar. Number2 indicates the sodium aid glue mix as the hazard warning triangles. Number 3 indicates the glass of tle real window. Number 4 indicates the fine wire which links the hazard warning triangles. And in figure 2 number 7 indicates the tinting film.
In figure 3, as before in number 1 is the sodium mix. Number 3 indicates to the glass. Number 6 indicates the lamination glue. Number 7 and Number 10 indicates to the tinting films. Where as Number 7 is the darker film of the inside of the car, Number 10 is either red or orange depending whether it is to be used as a brake light or as a hazard warning triangle.
In figure 4 and figure 5, Number8 indicates to the electrical connectors, which will connect to the sodium mix or attach to the fine wire. Number 9 indicates to the tail which can be connected to the cars wiring via a female crimp which are available from any car parts stores. Number 4 indicates to the fine wire which connects the hazard warning triangles.
Figure 6, shows another alterative to the H.B.S., where as instead of hazard warning triangles and a solid brake light bar, it uses the black glue strip indicated by Number 5, with two individual bars. Number 4 indicates to the fine wires to link the individual pair of lights.

Claims (6)

  1. Claims; 1, The glue required to be mixed with the sodium must be
    transparent, as well as to be able to conduct electricity and have a high flash point.
  2. 2, The metal connections, to connect the sodium mix, according to claim number 1, must be made of a soft metal, so regardless how thick the glass iS7 it Cal be used Add made to one SiZ@ as stranded.
  3. 3, The sold metal connectors according to claim number 2, is also used to the hazard warning triangles via a fine wire.
  4. 4, The firle wire coercing the sodium mix of the hazard warning triangles and / or the -v-o solid bars, according to clam n;mnber 1 are to be connected to either side of the triangles ar d / or bars and not directly to the power source connector according to claims Numbers 2 and 3.
  5. 5, The hazard warning triangles or bars are to be connected to either the flasher relay or hazard warning light switch via the connectors According to claim number 2.
  6. 6, The tinting films is required to stop the "lair, coursing a distraction to the driver via the rear view mirror.
