Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a vehicle having a high mount break lamp device that automatically repeats blinking (auto flash).

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventionally, a vehicle without a high mount brake lamp device is known. However, there was a problem with this vehicle in that it required sufficient attention and attention to the following vehicles, especially the second and subsequent vehicles.

Therefore, as a means for solving the above-mentioned problems, an automobile provided with a high mount brake lamp device that does not blink during the depression of the brake petal and continues to be illuminated for several years has been provided. .

[0004] In this latter case, the built-in high-mount brake lamp continues to light without blinking while the brake petal is stepping on, so as to call attention or notice to the following vehicles, not to mention the first one. It works effectively to reduce the difficulty, and is very useful for achieving the above-mentioned difficulties.

[0007] Thus, although the latter makes a great contribution to the elimination of the difficulties of the former, it is still necessary to exercise caution when driving in bad weather, against the sun or when traveling to the sun. The force to urge was weak, and the power to make the driver notice the following vehicle after looking aside or driving carelessly ahead was weak. In reality, these weak points cause a rear-end collision.

As described above, the present situation is that even if the former problem is solved by the latter, it is not yet possible to completely prevent a rear-end collision or the like.

[0007]

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] In view of the above-mentioned current situation, the present invention is a new high mount mount that has been devised so that the force to call attention and the force to be noticed are stronger to reduce the occurrence of rear-end collisions. It is intended to provide a vehicle equipped with a brake lamp device.

[0008]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above object, a vehicle equipped with a high-mount brake lamp device according to the present invention is a high-mount brake lamp device that is turned on only while the brake petal is depressed. The built-in high-mount brake lights are equipped with an automatic repeat blinking device that gives a blinking function.

[0009] Then, the flashing is repeated once or more, and then continuously lit,

A plurality of high mount brake lamps are built in, and each of these lamps repeatedly blinks alternately.

[0011]

[Action]

 The automatic repeat blinking device gives a blinking function to the high mount brake lamp built into the high mount brake lamp device, and makes the high mount brake lamp blink repeatedly while the brake petal is stepped on. It is one that repeatedly flashes one or more times during the same period and then lights continuously, or one that alternately flashes a plurality of lamps (of the high mount brake lamp device) alternately during the same period, It gives a change in the brightness of light and a movement of light.

[0012]

[Effect of device]

 The vehicle equipped with the high mount brake lamp device according to the present invention is such that the automatic repeated blinking device makes the high mount brake lamp blink repeatedly while the brake petal is being depressed. Compared to the type of high mount brake lamp device described in the above-mentioned related art in which lighting is continued without blinking, in bad weather, when driving with the sun behind, or when facing the sun. When driving while driving, the power to call attention becomes significantly stronger due to the change in the brightness of the light and the movement of the light, and the power to notice the following vehicle after looking aside or inadvertently ahead is also significantly stronger. If the high mount brake lamp is configured to continuously flash after flashing one or more times, be aware of the flashing. The urging force and the reminder force become even stronger.Also, if multiple high-mount brake lamps built into the high-mount brake lamp device are made to repeatedly flash alternately, be careful of the flashing. The force to urge and the power to be noticed become stronger, and the occurrence of rear-end collisions can be further reduced.

【Example】

 The first embodiment shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 is a relay 3 connected to an electric circuit of a main brake lamp 2 equipped on a vehicle 1 and a blinking signal repetitive generator triggered by a contact 4 of the relay 3. 7, a flip-flop circuit 8 which receives from the blinking signal repetitive generator 7 and alternately outputs a lighting signal and an extinguishing signal, and a large number of which repeatedly blinks by receiving the lighting signal and the extinguishing signal from the flip-flop circuit 8. The high mount brake lamp 6 includes a high mount brake lamp 6 and a relay 3, a flash signal repeating generator 7 and a flip-flop circuit 8 which are built in the vehicle 1 at appropriate places. Is equipped with a red cover 5 covering the rear portion of the upper surface of the automobile 1. In the first embodiment, when the electric circuit of the main brake lamp 2 is energized by depressing a brake petal (not shown), the contact 4 of the relay 3 is turned on and the blinking signal repeat generator is turned on. 7 is triggered, and the flip-flop circuit 8 repeatedly emits a turn-on signal and a turn-off signal alternately to repeatedly blink the high mount brake lamp 6.

In the second embodiment shown in FIG. 3 (only one lamp is shown in the drawing, a plurality of lamps are built in the red cover), the funnel-shaped mirror 9 is lit. A motor 10 rotates around the high mount / brake lamp 6 to make the high mount / brake lamp 6 blink as if it were blinking automatically. The high-mount brake lamp 6 is turned on when the contact 4 is turned on, and the motor 10 is rotated at the same time.

The present invention can be implemented as follows. It is configured so that it flashes once or more repeatedly and then lights continuously. Multiple high mount brake lights will flash alternately. The high mount brake lamp device of this invention has been unitized or made into a kit so that the wiring of the non-flashing high mount brake lamp device equipped in the conventional car can be temporarily cut to modify the existing car. provide. Install a control device that controls the number of blinks or the blinking interval. As the lamp, a light emitting diode, a xenon flash lamp, a halogen flash lamp, or another light emitting body is used.
