Definitions

  • An involuntary braking system (with or without an accompanying clutch system and other required accessories) will be installed at the front side and/or the sides adjoining the front part of the vehicle. Among other places such installation will be at the front bumper which may be extended on to the sides of the vehicle. Other arrangments can include installation at any place on the front. Alternatively, the front bumper or any similar structure can be made to protrude out to a variable distance from the body of the vehicle on the front side.
  • This involuntary braking system is to be connected to the main braking system of the vehicle. As and when this structure containing this braking system is either touched and/or pressed by a third party, i.e. an outside party, this braking system will start working like the main brake of the vehicle and the vehicle will come to a halt. 3. This will happen without the control of the person driving the vehicle. In case of a frontal collision with anything, including another vehicle, any living or non living object, or even with a pedestrian, the vehicle will automatically come to a halt, irrespective of whether the driver has applied the brakes or not.
  • Such braking system can also derive power from the electrical and/or mechanical power of the vehicle. Hence, the speed of the vehicle will not affect the application of these involuntary brakes.

Abstract

We have described a process which provides for installation of involuntary brakes at the front side and/or other sides of a vehicle. These involuntary brakes can either be connected to the existing braking system of the vehicle or can be independent of and additional to the existing system. In the later case even though this will increase the cost it will be an additional safety system. By the way of this, the damage caused to the vehicle and the injuries caused to the passengers in case of collission of vehicles, will be greatly reduced.

Description

Frontal involuntary deceleration system
INTRODUCTION
We have described the system whereby there is provision for involuntary deceleration of moving vehicles. This can be done in all mechanised and non-mechanised (manual) vehicles.
So far the prerogative of applying the brakes, deceleration of vehicles and bringing them to a stop was a voluntary process solely at the command and disposal of the person driving the vehicle.
By way of this system, an additional system of slowing down and also stopping the vehicles has been developed.
INSTALLATION OF BRAKES AT THE FRONT AND THE
CONNECTION OF SUCH INSTALLATIONS WITH POWER
SYSTEMS OF THE VEHICLE.
As on date almost all vehicles, except those used for training, have only one brake. Obviously the person who drives the vehicle has complete, unilateral and singular command over this brake.
By way of this application, we propose the multi-brake model for the following purposses:-
1. Increased safety of passengers traveling in all vehicles.
2. Minimization of damage to all the vehicle in the event of a collision.
3. Control of damage to the other parties, including pedestrians.
4. Totally eliminating the human error factors involved in accidents.
5. Preventing vehicles from causing extensive damage in cases of mechanical failures etc
This will be done in the following manner:
1. An involuntary braking system (with or without an accompanying clutch system and other required accessories) will be installed at the front side and/or the sides adjoining the front part of the vehicle. Among other places such installation will be at the front bumper which may be extended on to the sides of the vehicle. Other arrangments can include installation at any place on the front. Alternatively, the front bumper or any similar structure can be made to protrude out to a variable distance from the body of the vehicle on the front side.
2. This involuntary braking system is to be connected to the main braking system of the vehicle. As and when this structure containing this braking system is either touched and/or pressed by a third party, i.e. an outside party, this braking system will start working like the main brake of the vehicle and the vehicle will come to a halt. 3. This will happen without the control of the person driving the vehicle. In case of a frontal collision with anything, including another vehicle, any living or non living object, or even with a pedestrian, the vehicle will automatically come to a halt, irrespective of whether the driver has applied the brakes or not.
4. Such braking system can also derive power from the electrical and/or mechanical power of the vehicle. Hence, the speed of the vehicle will not affect the application of these involuntary brakes.
These systems are aimed at preventing deaths and damage. There is no doubt that these systems will be very effective and will be in regular use in the very near future.
This system will herald a new era in the field of transportation in the world. Such an idea has never been conceived in the past. Besides being new and novel, it is cost effective.lt will go a long way in reducing human suffering, preventing a very large number of deaths and saving damage to various things, including vehicles.

Claims

CLAIMSWhat is claimed is: -
1. Any system or process which provides for installation of any deceleration system including brakes at any place other than the conventional brakes in use.
2. Any system, having any projection and/or connection with the main deceleration system of motor vehicle which allows any person or object other than the person who is driving a vehicle to either slow down or to stop the vehicle.
3. Connection of involuntary brakes with the main power system of the vehicle, whereby the power of the engine is diverted to the brakes as and when the vehicle comes to a halt.
4. Re-modification and Re-designing of vehicles with the purposes described hereinabove.
