Abstract

839,284. Road-traffic signals on vehicles; lamp-failure alarms. SIGNAL-STAT CORPORATION. June 9, 1958, No. 18391/58. Class 118 (2). [Also in Group XXXVII] In a vehicle signalling arrangement the stop lamps are used as turn signal lamps and are normally flashed together during a brake operation and are selectively flashed for an unbraked turn, while for a braked turn one lamp is flashed and the other steadily energized. As shown, a turn signalling switch operated by a lever 27 comprises a dielectric rotor 26 moving contact plates 25, 35 over stator contacts such as 37, 22. In the normal position shown, when the brake is applied switch BS is closed feeding the stop lamps LRSL, RRSL via a thermally operated flasher FL1. When a right-hand turn is to be made the rotor 26 is turned clockwise energizing the front right-hand signal lamp RFSL and the right-hand stop lamp RRSL via flasher FL2 and the ignition switch IS. If the brake is applied during a turn the current taken by the remaining stop lamp is insufficient to operate flasher FL1, hence this lamp is steadily energized. Pilot lamps PL1, PL2 are respectively connected to flashers FL1, FL2. In the event of failure of either or both stop lamps, PL1 will be steadily illuminated when the brake is applied since FL1 current will be insufficient to cause flashing. An additional switch FS (described as a " flare " switch) may be provided to give continuous flashing of the stop lamps in the event of emergency parking.
