JPH07315121A - Unit device for preventing forgetting of turn-off of automobile light - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide a unit device for preventing forgetting of turn-off of automobile light when an automobile has passed through a tunnel during daytime driving and so forth, which is convenient for a driver who has an automobile which has not yet incorporate the device, and which is independent from the automobile, and which can be simply attached to the vehicle. CONSTITUTION:A unit device for preventing forgetting of turn-off of automobile light, comprises a switch 1, which is adapted to be incorporated to the exterior part of an automobile light switch lever, and which is turned on and off, simultaneously with an automobile light switch, a light sensitive switch 2, and a motor driven equipment 3 having an electric circuit in which the switches 1, 2 are connected in series so as to be used as a power source switch.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an automobile device.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a device equipped in an automobile, an alarm buzzer sounds or automatically turns off when the engine is stopped and the driver's door is opened with the light on, or when the engine switch is ON, There are things that automatically turn on or off depending on the ambient brightness.

[0003]

However, in the conventional devices, all of them are built in the vehicle body,
Moreover, automobiles that have a device that automatically turns on and off according to the brightness of the surroundings when the engine switch is on have not yet been generally accepted, and therefore, in the case of many automobiles, the lights are turned on in the daytime tunnel. In many cases, even if you leave the tunnel and forget to erase it, even if you install a new device, many drivers use the car without such a device while feeling inconvenient because of the high cost. There is. In the present invention, as an alternative to such a device, a device that emits an alarm sound when a car light switch is turned on in a bright place is provided so that anyone can easily attach this device to all existing cars. By doing so, it is intended to solve such inconvenience.

[0004]

A switch (1) externally attached to an automobile light switch lever portion, which opens and closes simultaneously with an automobile light switch, a light sensitive switch (2), and both switches (in the same electric circuit) An electric device (3) in which 1) and (2) are connected in series to serve as a power switch. The present invention is a vehicle light forgetting prevention device having such a configuration.

[0005]

Operation: A switch (1) externally attached to the automobile light switch lever portion, which opens and closes simultaneously with the automobile light switch, a light sensitive switch (2), and both switches (1) and (2) in the same electric circuit. When an electric device (3) that is connected in series as a power switch is attached and the automobile light switch is turned on (light lighting state), the switch (1) is turned on. At this time, if the light sensitive switch (2) senses a constant light intensity (brightness that the outside world does not require a car light), it is turned on, so the electric device (3)
Works. As a result, the driver turns off the light, and at the same time, the switch (1) also turns off, so that the device (3) stops operating. By this action, it is intended to prevent forgetting to turn off the light.

[0006]

EXAMPLES Examples of the present invention will be described below. (A) Using the light switch lever fixed part (4) and the same lever movable part (5) of the automobile, when the movable part (5) is moved to the light switch ON, it is ON (closed), and when it is moved to OFF, it is OFF. In this embodiment, as the switch (1) to be opened, the fixed part (4) is provided with the contacts (a) and (b), and the lever movable part (5) is provided with the contact (c). O
When the movable part (5) is moved (rotated) so as to be N, the two-pole switch (1-a) is brought into contact with the contacts (a), (b) and (c). As an optimum embodiment of the present invention, (a) and (b) are short rods and are installed in parallel in the sliding direction of the movable part (5) to form fixed contacts, and the contact (c) is rod-shaped. When the movable part (5) is turned on, it contacts the above (a) and (b) at the same time (closed), and when it is turned off, it separates (opens). It contacts the electric device (3) as a movable contactor. A light sensitive switch (2) is provided between the child (a) or the child (b). At this time, the electric device (3) may be operated by sound, light, operation, etc., and its power source may be either an automobile battery or a dry battery. (B) As the switch (1) in the embodiment (a),
A tilt-sensitive switch (a commercially available mercury switch in this embodiment) is attached to the switch lever movable part (5) (1-
(B) is installed, and when the movable part (5) is moved to ON (rotated), the same-sensing switch tilts to be ON (closed), and when moved to OFF, it becomes OFF (open). To The method of connecting the switch, the light-sensitive switch (2) and the electric device (3) is the same as described above. (C) As the switch (1) in the embodiment (a),
An electronic switch (commercial magnetic force switch in this embodiment) (1-c) is provided on the switch lever fixing portion (4), and the movable portion (5) is turned on (rotated).
A magnet (6) is provided at a position on the movable part (5) that operates the electronic switching unit. The following is the same as the above (b)

[0007]

As a device independent of the automobile body, it can be easily attached to all automobiles, which is effective for a driver having a vehicle not equipped with a device for forgetting to turn off the light. .
