DISPOSITIVO DE PUESTA EN MARCHA DE LUCES DE LARGO ALCANCE ENCOMMISSIONING DEVICE FOR LONG-TERM LIGHTS IN
VEHÍCULOS AUTOMÓVILESAUTOMOBILE VEHICLES
OBJETO DE LA INVENCIÓN La presente invención, según se expresa en el enunciado de esta memoria descriptiva se refiere a un dispositivo de puesta en marcha de luces de largo alcance en vehículos automóviles, el cual ha sido concebido y realizado en orden a obtener numerosas y notables ventajas respecto a otros medios existentes de análogas finalidades. El dispositivo está previsto para que el conductor de un vehículo automóvil no se vea obligado a separar las manos total o parcialmente del volante cada vez que necesite usar este tipo de iluminación. Pues bien, el dispositivo de puesta en marcha está basado en un acople al volante, en el cual va incorporado un pulsador para activar la luz de largo alcance.OBJECT OF THE INVENTION The present invention, as expressed in the statement of this specification refers to a device for starting up long-range lights in motor vehicles, which has been conceived and carried out in order to obtain numerous and notable advantages over other existing means of analogous purposes. The device is designed so that the driver of a motor vehicle is not forced to separate the hands totally or partially from the steering wheel whenever he needs to use this type of lighting. Well, the start-up device is based on a coupling to the steering wheel, in which a button to activate the long-range light is incorporated.
HOJA DE SUSTITUCIÓN (REGLA 26) DESCRIPCIÓN DE LA INVENCIÓN El dispositivo de la invención presenta una nueva estructura en base a la cual se consigue una mayor manejabilidad y seguridad a la hora de su puesta en marcha. Este dispositivo consiste en añadirle al volante de un vehículo automóvil un nuevo elemento que contendrá un pulsador para la puesta en marcha de las luces de largo alcance.SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The device of the invention has a new structure based on which a greater manageability and safety is achieved at the time of its implementation. This device consists in adding a new element to the steering wheel of a motor vehicle that will contain a button for the start-up of long-range lights.
Su forma de activación será de dos tipos, con una pulsación suave se consigue el llamado cambio de luces y este se desactiva simplemente soltando el pulsador.Its activation mode will be of two types, with a soft press the so-called light change is achieved and this is deactivated simply by releasing the button.
Con una sola pulsación más fuerte se consigue que las luces de largo alcance queden activadas hasta que se desactiven volviendo a pulsar con la misma intensidad.With a single stronger push, the long-range lights are activated until they are deactivated by pressing again with the same intensity.
Este elemento se situará en una posición ergonómica para el conductor del vehículo automóvil.This element will be placed in an ergonomic position for the driver of the motor vehicle.
En el mercado existen varios sistemas de pulsadores para la activación de dispositivos, así como los de desactivación y en su momento se escogerán los modelos más apropiados para el desarrollo de la presente invención, atendiendo a niveles de mercado.In the market there are several push button systems for the activation of devices, as well as deactivation systems and at the time the most appropriate models for the development of the present invention will be chosen, according to market levels.
