MXPA98005581A - Extreme frame with multi-directional signal for 2, 4 or more rue vehicles - Google Patents

Abstract

Lateral frame with multidirectional signaling for vehicles of 2,3,4 or more wheels, characterized characterized by a hollow body, which includes in its interior the electric bulbs that generate the light signal, projected in vacuum by a reflecting screen through the transparencies of the usual colors of turn or stop, and highlights a partition that defines the signaling function of the retrovision. For its fixing, it employs a triangular base system between a wrapping flange, a self-adhesive surface and pressure screws, thus engaging the protruding structure of the rear view unit of the vehicle, forming therewith a single unit on one side fixed to the body and on the other hand, being the multi-signal emitted visible simultaneously from the back, the front and the side, since it starts from the most prominent lateral point of the vehicle that

Description

EXTREME FRAME WITH SIGN? MULTlDlRKCCIONAL. FOR VEHICLES OF 2, 4 or MORE KUEDAS DESCRIPTIVE MEMORY 5 a present; invention considers and has as its main object a supporting frame with incorporated multi-directional optical signal, which describes the different transit maneuvers from a single point, and is coupled to the most salient surface to the vacuum of the body at iO the sides, where find the limits of the width of it. Matching points left and right in a view both before and after in vehicles with 2, 4 or more wheels. As we know in all types of approved vehicle for circulation, incorporate to give information of the usual maneuvers of transit pilot lights, to indicate the stop, the change of direction, the setting of the reverse gear, the fog light, in general form the same block and also operate as intermittent signs in emergency detentions. These pilots and according to their function are located in the rear and front of the vehicle equidistant from the central axis and almost always in the corners of the body, in front and behind the wheels at a lower height of the plane of vision of the drivers who must divert their attention for a moment from the normal driving plane to know the maneuvering intention of the person surrounding them. Another difficulty is that the function of the signs with rain, fog 30 or cn is reduced by the cloud that forms behind the wheels as it passes through the snowfall. Furthermore, if 2, 3 or more vehicles are interleaved in the same lane of traffic, one covers the other interrupting the signal and we do not know what the first of the row, so it is the silhouette trimmed, fronLal or rear of the nearest vehicle the only thing we know. This last situation produces the so-called accordion effect that slows road circulation and makes the reaction time to slow down # of the last group is dangerously minor or does not exist ; Tactor of almost all the chain crashes, adding the other difficulties are serious accidents, especially when changing lanes and / or direction due to lack of adequate information on the lateral flanks, especially for motorcycles that circulate between lanes. 10 A solution with advantages to these problems is the luminous frame to which we refer, which as a novelty incorporates a multidirectional signal, which allows us to emit signals from a single point simultaneously, to the front and also to the back and lateral side to the same time, covering extensively and exceeding the minimum angles required for the usual signals it complements. Its retro effect is fundamental, because it enhances the signals from the side backwards - Rl frame with the multi-signal is located starting of the longitudinal axis, central at the most protruding lateral end to "each side of the body, on the side mirrors, the novelty is that it presents a free view on the sides and that is not interfered neither by the body itself, nor by the one other vehicles that circulate on the same axis. Since it has the great advantage that is projected to the vacuum enveloping and fitting perfectly adapted to the protruding tips of the rear-view mirrors, they are of any optical system, of TV cameras or of mirrors, thus oversizing the width of the. front and rear silhouette of the vehicle at a time. Other solutions were intended to give these difficulties, but partially, with high costs for replacements and impractical modifications and never considering the multidirectional sense, or similar to the novel framework retrolu insso with multiple sign here presented.

According to what has been researched, we can mention the rearview mirror with the indicator of the turn signal in the # same plane and crystal moon corresponding to the Argentine patent na 177959, now expired and public domain. Said system consisted of a mirror with a part of the semi-opaque translucent moon with an intermittent bulb and reflecting means formed by a series of slats at an angle determined from the surface of the mirror, acting as a dispersing medium of the light to the outside in the semi-opaque part and concentrating means of the light behind the bulb. Thus the semiopaque part of the moon illuminates to the rhythm of the signals, but considers a single direction and in addition mirror and light are in a same unit, nothing prevents that the flashes go directly and in perjucio of the eyes of the conductor. Even with a holographic treatment or other reflective system that orients the rays, the illumination of the moon itself is very dangerous. Other partial solutions considered the turn signal 20 cn blind vision 'but only take into account only one direction of the emission of light, the front, sense that does not fall into the rules of approval of traffic, since the front signals they must be in front of the wheels, they fit within some 25 measures and they are irreplaceable, besides the complexity of installation and replacement of parts increases their cost remarkably for the same result that was had in advance. The intronic frame presents the innovation of being an independent unit that does not interfere with the function of the rear view unit, but that adapts and integrates into a single unit with two very different functions; one to receive retrovisióp images and another one to emit signals in a multidirectional way. Its original design contemplates a perfect coupling system, rooting two cavities in a single body between which there is a dividing wall to create a controlled shade area on the wall. It is a retro-uminous structure on the lateral sides of the walls. vehicles, with Him, these areas pe imetral.es gain prominence by the new function that gives more security cn all kinds of maneuvers, since it includes a multidirectional signal that complements the existing ones in the front and rear, thus composing a new signal system with more image in all directions, more effective and safe on the whole. The first thing is to be able to easily incorporate these signals into the existing rear-view units; and also the option in the new vehicles to include it in the original design in a block as standard equipment, thus represents advantages for its simplified concretion and also low production costs. Its constructive characteristics mark a true inventive sense, because its body is hollow, being able to vary its volume that is product of the # Difference between a concave face that contacts the end of the inspection unit to which it is integrated exproleso, and a convex external face, preferably consisting of translucent and resistant material, of the regulatory collars of the optical-light signals and / or reflective (cat's eye or holographic) according to functions. Another innovation is the light that emits through 25 holes in the interior of the retrovision unit c illuminates with low intensity a small translucent semi-opaque translucent area in the field of view of the mirror. Inside, the frame houses light bulbs or systems ^ w ^ > luminous of leds, neon, laser or similar with its 3Q respective reflecting and limiting surfaces, that allow to give an angle of light to each signal »it has a system of electrical feeding, branch of the general circuit of the vehicle and its commands, being able to feed of energies alternatives according to the case. For a better understanding, the attached drawings are explained in detail, according to a prototype model of this invention.

Fig. 3 is a section on the axis A-A of figs. 1 and that shows the internal constitution of the exposed model. Figure 4 is a perspective view showing the rooted socket of the retroluminsso frame and the rear view unit forming an integral design block. Figure 5 shows in plan cut on the longitudinal axis of a car, the lateral impact area that produces the new multidirectional signal. As seen in the graphs, the retrolumipos framework object of the present invention is characterized by presenting, as a base, a body -1- arising from the difference between the concave or interior light surfaces -2- and -3 - convex or exterior. The interior surface of the coupling has as a fixing system self-adhesive areas -8- and fixing points by pressure screw -9- in addition to the surrounding curb -7-, together they form a triangular system of solid fixation, which eliminates the three degrees of freedom and all vibration, also allows you to pass comfortably the standard 60-kilogram pendulum goal test in the side rear view units. Thus the retrolu-minoso frame is united in the end of the retrovisora unit. Maintaining the concept of two functions, it presents, according to the design of origin, a more smooth and uniform integral part. It fixes the body on one side and free on the other; carrier of the image's optical function (mirror or video camera) and that of signal lights in a single unit. This block thus exceeds the surface test with the 5mm sphere. The external surface -3- consists of a part bombé of translucent and resistant material, that when illuminated produces the signal of the regulatory color, thus -4- red area for the STOP signal and -5- yellow for the TURN signal in the anterior, lateral and posterior. The interior windows 4 and 5 emit a low intensity indicator light through holes and over a translucent area frosted in the mirror. a self-adhesive finish sheet and can carry a graphic sign, or advertising brand. Rs to emphasize that the muid tidireccióp of the signal 5 that transmit the surfaces -4-5- and 5 bis- when illuminating go beyond the 2209 altogether as it is appreciated in the arrows A, B and C of the cut A-? and figure 4 but this angular magnitude never affects the eyes of the driver since the partition 13 is designed exprofeso 10 to adjust an area of light and produce a cone of shadow for the driver; the outer cavities house the bulbs according to the type proposed for each model - type -12- with its corresponding bulb holder -11- and it is connected to the electric circuit of the vehicle by means of the cable -10- in the usual way, being able in case of Simple vehicles have a self-aligning battery or any other source of autonomous power. By the arrangement of this novelty we obtain a multiple system in the rear view units that fulfill 20 various functions, not only of vision but, as a courtesy light according to arrow C, or notice of opening of doors, and to be the retrolumiposo frame the exLemo more protruding from the body to the sides, oversize this width cp limit and gives us new security features 25 to give greater lateral presence to indicate the intention of maneuvers not only the nearest vehicle, but 2, 3 or more vehicles that circulate in the same lane "#, especially of great value for motorcycles that circulate between lanes." 30 Another advantage is that having the information before allows to react before the whole row, decreasing the accordion effect and the chain clashes .Also as an advantage, this novelty allows gain information time by being close to the level of vision of the drivers 35 making the driving more rested and safe.This low cost and easy installation, complements the existing signals and is in the new standards of signal homologation and p: European lotuses, all the sum of these advantages achieve an important objective, the increase in the safety of the icing and fluidity to the maneuvers that it affects.All that does not alter, change, affect, or . ^^ W modify the essence of the retroluminous frame described, it will be variable for the purposes of the present invention patent. - twenty '
