RU211137U1 - Additional brake light housing - Google Patents

Abstract

The utility model relates to methods for improving the housings of additional brake lights for passenger cars. A transparent window is made in the cover of the body of the additional brake light - a hole (porthole) for the driver to observe the inclusion of brake lights. The technical result of the claimed utility model is the ability to timely detect a malfunction of external lighting devices - brake lights of a car that occurred during the movement of the car without the help of third parties.

Description

The utility model relates to methods for improving the housings of additional brake lights for passenger cars. Scope - automotive industry.

On passenger cars, a common malfunction is the sudden failure of the brake light switch located near the brake pedal hinge (frequent pressing and increased wear, moisture, etc.). In the dark, it is easy to identify non-working brake lights - by pressing the brake pedal and controlling the rear-view mirrors to enhance the glow of external lighting devices. In the daytime, it is almost impossible to detect such a malfunction without a reflective obstacle from the rear of the car, installing a spacer between the seat and the brake pedal to check the brake lights, or without the help of third parties.

The prototype can be the equipment of cars with sensors and warning lights on the dashboard, notifying about non-working light devices (additional brake light), which will lead to the need to install additional electrical equipment and increase the cost of car production.

The proposed technical device for timely diagnosis and detection of the performance of brake lights consists of the equipment of the body of an additional (duplicate) brake light made of opaque material (figure 2, pos. 3) located in the car on the rear windshield (figure 1, pos.1) - signal window (figure 3, pos.6).

When you press the brake pedal, the porthole (fig.3, pos.6) will light up naturally from the light rays from the brake light diffuser (fig. 2, pos. 4), which will be visible in the rear-view mirror (fig.1, pos.2), without completely limiting the visibility of the driver.

When you press the brake pedal, the porthole (fig.3, pos.6), built into the body (fig.3, pos.5) will glow naturally from the light rays from the brake light diffuser (fig.2, pos.4) , which will be visible in the rear-view mirror (figure 1, pos.2), without limiting the visibility of the driver at all.

Porthole embedding is carried out by drilling a hole of the required diameter and embedding the porthole by gluing, fusing, soldering, or installing on additional fasteners.

Claims (2)

1. The body of the additional brake light of a passenger car made of opaque material, installed in the upper part of the windshield, characterized in that a hole is made in the body of the additional brake light, allowing the driver to observe the inclusion of the brake light lamps without leaving the car, even during vehicle movement, and without the help of third parties. 2. The body of an additional brake light for a passenger car according to claim 1, characterized in that a porthole is built into the hole.
