Description

DISPOSITIF ACCESSOIRE DESTINE A ATTENUER L'EBLOUISSEMENT DES PHARES DE VEHICULES VENANT EN SENS INVERSE. ACCESSORY DEVICE FOR MITIGATING THE GLARE OF VEHICLE HEADLIGHTS COMING IN reverse.
La présente invention concerne un dispositif accessoire destiné à atténue l'éblouissement des phares d'un véhicule venant en sens inverse lors d'un croisement. Ce accessoire peut s'adapter côté conducteur à l'intérieur de l'habitacle le long du pare-bris dans tous les véhicules.The present invention relates to an accessory device intended to attenuate the glare of the headlights of an oncoming vehicle during a crossing. This accessory can be adapted on the driver's side inside the passenger compartment along the windshield in all vehicles.
Dans ce domaine de l'atténuation de l'ébouissement des phares, il est connu le pare brise teinté et la lampe.In this area of the attenuation of the headlight boiling, the tinted windshield and the lamp are known.
Le dispositif selon l'invention permet de remédier à cet inconvénient qui es l'éblouissement. Il comporte selon une première caractéristique : une platine destinée être collée sur le pare-brise ou fixée sur le montant du véhicule, au centre de laquelle s trouver un orifice sphérique dans lequel vient s'adapter la rotule disposée à l'extrémit d'un bras rigide coudé, ce qui permet à l'utilisateur de l'orienter dans tous les sens. Sur c bras articulé, coulisse un panneau transparent et teinté ; la transparence du panneau es progressive : ainsi l'utilisateur peut régler ce panneau filtrant dans son champ visuel fac aux phares des véhicules venant en sens inverse.The device according to the invention overcomes this drawback which is glare. According to a first characteristic, it comprises a plate intended to be glued to the windshield or fixed to the vehicle upright, at the center of which is a spherical orifice in which the ball joint disposed at the end of a bent rigid arm, which allows the user to orient it in all directions. On this articulated arm slides a transparent and tinted panel; the transparency of the panel is progressive: thus the user can adjust this filtering panel in his visual field as against the headlights of oncoming vehicles.
A titre d'illustration, les dessins joints représentent respectivement Figures 1A e 1B des vues d'ensemble, de face et de dessus du dispositif en position d'utilisation, les vue de détail 2 à 4. Figures A2 et 2B : une platine (1) destinée à être collée sur le pare-bris (14) ou fixée sur le montant (13) du véhicule, au centre de laquelle, se trouve un orific sphérique (1A) dans lequel vient s'adapter une rotule (2).By way of illustration, the accompanying drawings represent Figures 1A and 1B respectively of the overall, front and top views of the device in the use position, the detailed views 2 to 4. Figures A2 and 2B: a plate ( 1) intended to be glued to the windscreen (14) or fixed to the upright (13) of the vehicle, at the center of which is a spherical orifice (1A) in which a ball joint (2) fits.
Figures 3A et 3B : un bras (3) rigide, coudé, à l'extrémité duquel se trouve un rotule (2) destinée à être fixée dans le centre de la platine (1) permettant l'orientation d bras (3) dans tous les sens. A l'autre extrémité du bras (3) est disposée une butée (5).Figures 3A and 3B: a rigid, bent arm (3), at the end of which is a ball joint (2) intended to be fixed in the center of the plate (1) allowing the orientation of arms (3) in all the senses. At the other end of the arm (3) is disposed a stop (5).
Figures 4A et 4B : un panneau (4) transparent et filtrant progressivement la lumièr des phares des véhicules venant en sens inverse. La forme du panneau (4) est trapézoïdale, la base (6) du trapèze étant fixée sur le bras orientable.Figures 4A and 4B: a transparent panel (4) which gradually filters the light from oncoming vehicle headlights. The shape of the panel (4) is trapezoidal, the base (6) of the trapezoid being fixed on the orientable arm.
Les côtés 7 et 8 et le sommet 9 se trouvent déportés vers la gauche par rapport à l base (6), vus en plat, ou vers le haut en position d'utilisation. La transparence du panneau (4) est progressive, fortement teinté à sa base, pour finir légèrement teinté vers le sommet soit vers le centre du pare-brise lorsqu'il est dans le champ visuel du conducteur.The sides 7 and 8 and the top 9 are offset to the left with respect to the base (6), seen in flat, or upwards in the position of use. The transparency of the panel (4) is progressive, strongly tinted at its base, to finish slightly tinted towards the top or towards the center of the windshield when it is in the driver's field of vision.
La couleur du panneau peut comporter plusieurs teintes : vert, orange, mauve, ou autre suivant la sensibilité visuelle du conducteur.The color of the panel can include several shades: green, orange, mauve, or other depending on the visual sensitivity of the driver.
Le panneau (4) : sa base est munie d'un fourreau (6) lui permettant de coulisser tout en restant freiné sur le bras orientable (3). Ce panneau doit pouvoir tourner et coulisser sur le bras (3) de haut en bas et de bas en haut, afin de permettre au conducteur lorsqu'il est sur son siège de la régler face aux phares des véhicules venant en sens inverse, c'est à dire dans son champ visuel. Un montage serré du panneau (4) sur le bras (3) devra lui rpermettre de rester bloqué à l'endroit où le conducteur l'aura réglé sans qu'il puisse se dérégler.The panel (4): its base is provided with a sheath (6) allowing it to slide while remaining braked on the orientable arm (3). This panel must be able to turn and slide on the arm (3) from top to bottom and from bottom to top, in order to allow the driver when he is in his seat to adjust it facing the headlights of oncoming vehicles, it is to say in its visual field. A tight mounting of the panel (4) on the arm (3) must allow it to remain blocked at the place where the driver has adjusted it without being able to adjust.
Le blocage du panneau (4) en position de conduite doit toutefois pouvoir lui permettre de tourner sur la tige (3) en cas de choc afin d'éviter de blesser le conducteur.Locking the panel (4) in the driving position must, however, allow it to rotate on the rod (3) in the event of an impact in order to avoid injuring the driver.
L'ensemble tige (3) et panneau (4) doit être escamotable afin d'être remonté vers le haut en cas de non utilisation.The rod (3) and panel (4) assembly must be retractable in order to be raised upwards when not in use.
Selon un mode particulier de réalisation, le dispositif peut présenter au niveau du panneau trapézoïdal une hauteur comprise entre 200 et 400 mm et une base comprise entre 100 et 200 mm. Un angle entre les côtés latéraux (7 et 8) compris entre 28° et 32° et un angle B entre le côté latéral et l'axe du fourreau (6) compris entre 76° et 79°.According to a particular embodiment, the device can have at the level of the trapezoidal panel a height between 200 and 400 mm and a base between 100 and 200 mm. An angle between the lateral sides (7 and 8) between 28 ° and 32 ° and an angle B between the lateral side and the axis of the sheath (6) between 76 ° and 79 °.
Ainsi l'invention vise un dispositif permettant d'interposer un filtre face aux rayons lumineux des phares venant selon une ligne de perspective face au conducteur, permet ainsi d'atténuer l'éblouissement en conduite de nuit et d'améliorer la sécurité et le confort du conducteur, comportant essentiellement un moyen de fixation supportant un bras sur lequel est articulé un panneau transparent et filtrant destiné à se placer dans le champ visuel du conducteur.Thus, the invention relates to a device making it possible to interpose a filter facing the light rays of the headlights coming along a line of perspective facing the driver, thus making it possible to reduce the glare when driving at night and to improve safety and comfort of the conductor, essentially comprising a fixing means supporting an arm on which is articulated a transparent and filtering panel intended to be placed in the visual field of the conductor.
