JPS62105733A - Combination lamp for automobile or the like - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To inform the degree of braking of an automobile to the driver in a vehicle behind the former vehicle to prevent a bumping accident, by changing the color of a brake lamp through three stages, and by using the third stage color as a parking lamp color. CONSTITUTION:Brake lamps (a, b, c) and a vehicle width indicating lamp which is used together with the brake lamp (a) are incorporated in the upper part of three-divided parts of a combination lamp. Then, direction indicator and backward lamps 2, 3 are incorporated. Therefore, the braking lamps (a, b, c) are successively turned on in accordance with the degree of braking so that the color thereof is also changed. That is, red color is effected upon braking by which the sped is slightly lowered, a green color is effected during braking by which the speed is greatly decreased, and the violet color is effected upon abrupt braking for risk prevention. Thus, the driver in the vehicle may recognize the condition of braking of a vehicle thereahead or stopping of the vehicle thereahead, thereby it is possible to prevent bumping accidents.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] In the past, the number of accidents and fires in the Tomei Nihon Saka tunnel has increased due to the expansion of land transportation in Japan, and the proportion of accidents and fires has exceeded that of other transportation methods. For this reason, it was a big deal. Furthermore, on general roads, there is an economic need to widen the road width, and along with this, the speed and quantity of transportation continues to increase. It is a well-known and self-evident principle in physics that as speed increases, the impact of a collision also increases.

According to a survey of traffic accidents, the ratio of rear-end collisions to the total number of accidents is said to be quite high. Both the driver and the person being rear-ended may suffer long-term injuries from the accident, requiring hospitalization or hospital visits.

The current brake lights of automobiles, etc., show a red light. For this reason, as drivers of modern cars have experienced many times, when the brake lights of a car driven by a car in front turn on, it is a signal that the car is stopping or slowing down. I know that. However, it is completely unclear to the drivers of the following vehicles whether this is sudden braking or braking that merely reduces the speed slightly to adjust the distance between vehicles. If the brake lights come on, vehicles following you can brake suddenly, but if this is not the plan,
Furthermore, the danger will only increase as it will have a serious impact on the cars that follow.

Therefore, the present invention is intended to prevent such risks and accidents. In order to inform the driver of the following vehicle, etc. of the degree of braking of the preceding vehicle, etc., the brake lights of the vehicle, etc. are turned on according to the degree of braking of the preceding vehicle, etc. It attempts to display color changes in at least three stages.

This will be explained below using figures. Here, I will explain using a four-wheeled vehicle.

Figure 1 is a diagram of the current four-wheeled vehicle seen from the rear. One brake light and a width light used in conjunction with the brake light, two turn signal lights, and three reversing lights are placed in separate boxes and combined into one combination light, each with its own purpose.

The four-wheeled vehicle of the present invention is as shown in Figure 2. 1
2 is a direction indicator light, and 3 is a reverse light. To explain this in detail, Figure 3 shows the left side of the combination light.

A brake light is placed above the third division of the combination light. B.
There is a part that contains the brake lights (C) and the side lights used in conjunction with (B).

Of the other parts, 2 is a direction indicator light, and 3 is a reversing light. Depending on the strength of the braking, the inner brake light (A) will light up, and as the strength of the braking increases, the brake light (B) will light up.
The brake lights start to change. The color of the brake lights also changes accordingly. The first color changes to red for brake light A, then green for brake light B, then purple for brake light C. The side lights are red, the same color as the brake lights. By doing this, it becomes possible to determine why the following vehicle braked when the preceding vehicle braked. The first is just spacing or braking to reduce speed by a small amount. Next, braking is braking for actively stopping the vehicle or reducing its speed considerably. The next third stage is braking to prevent sudden dangers such as cars or people jumping out from the side, or the sudden braking of a vehicle in front.

By doing this, the driver of the following vehicle can recognize under what conditions the preceding vehicle braked, thereby preventing accidents such as rear-end collisions, and the effect of the present invention is , is very large. In addition, in Figure 4, the brake lights are displayed in order of weakest braking, with larger areas (7, 8, and 9) and red colors. green. The effect can be further enhanced by changing the color to purple to quickly and reliably notify the driver of the following car, etc., of the strength of the braking.

On the other hand, in order to turn on the brake lights, a brake switch (hereinafter abbreviated as SW) is required by pressing the brake pedal. Conventional S. Figure 5 shows W. The present invention is explained in FIG. 6 and shown in FIG. 7. This is explained in Figure-8. Brake pedal braking S. W means that in Figure 5, the brake pedal has not been pressed yet. The brake lights still do not come on. 1 connects to the positive side of the battery, and 2 connects to the negative side of the battery. Figure 6 shows the brake S. This is the state where W is turned on and the brake lights are on. Figures 7 and 8 are examples of the present invention, in which the positive side is divided into three parts. In Figure 7, the brake pedal is not yet depressed, the brake switch is not engaged, and the brake lights are not illuminated. In Figure 8, the SW is turned on to the positive 1-1 in the first stage, and the first stage brake light turns on in red. Next, the negative electrode moves to positive 1-2 and the second step is the braking switch.
comes on and turns on the green brake lights. In the third stage below, the brake lights are turned on in the same way.

In addition, at night, cars currently drive with red parking lights on. However, since the parking lights are red, if the vehicle is parked, the driver of the vehicle, who is dozing off, will have the illusion that the vehicle is in motion, making an accident most dangerous. The driver is required to be more attentive, which only increases fatigue. For this reason, the inventor of the present invention has proposed that by setting the parking light to the third stage of the brake light, purple, the driver can drive safely without having the illusion that a car is running, and the This allows the vehicle to travel smoothly without colliding with cars or other vehicles.
