Definitions
- the present invention relates to a device making it possible to intensify the effectiveness of the hazard lights of motorized or towed vehicles and to give the possibility of using change indicators. direction simultaneously with the use of said hazard warning lights.
- the current hazard warning system consists of the simultaneous operation of direction change indicators (Art R92 of French Decree n ° 79-315 of April 9, 1979- (8 °)).
- a towed unit must be fitted with a distress signal: currently it is not possible to signal a change of direction.
- the French highway code article R11 of Decree No. 85-807 of July 30
- the hazard warning lights should be kept in operation if the driver is forced to drive at a greatly reduced speed which risks surprising other drivers. It is then impossible to report a change of lane or direction.
- the motorist may have a doubt about the intention of the driver of the immobilized vehicle or driving at low speed: - on a highway, in the distance, at night or in reduced visibility, the signaled vehicle may disengage or remain in slowdown, - in town, a vehicle which encroaches on the roadway may come out abruptly or simply remain a little bad parked, - a bus that can be stopped or resume its journey, - on the road, in a bend with reduced visibility, the motorist who encounters this signal cannot know whether the signaled vehicle will disengage or has a problem.
- the object of the present invention is to provide a device making it possible not to be mistaken on the indication of the signaling of the vehicles, at the front as at the rear.
- the device it relates to comprises: - a flashing unit exclusively intended to control the operation of the flashing lights as hazard warning lights, this flashing unit being controlled by the distress signal switch, - an exclusively flashing unit intended to control the operation of the flashing lights as direction change indicator lights, this central flashing light being controlled by the direction change switch and supplying either: - a relay arranged to close the circuit controlling the operation of the flashing lights located on the left side of the vehicle as direction change lights and to open the circuit controlling the operation of these same lights as hazard lights on that same side, - a relay arranged to close the circuit controlling the operation of the flashing lights located on the right side of the vehicle as traffic lights change of direction and to open the circuit controlling the operation of these same lights as hazard lights on this same side.
- the flashing units are such that the flashing lights are not supplied with the same flashing frequency as they are controlled by direction change indicator lights or by hazard lights.
- the lights can in particular be powered at flashing frequencies close to the maximums authorized by the standards in force (articles 5.6.1.1 and 5.6.1.2 of French Standard N FR 14-332), i.e. 120 cycles per minute, when operating as hazard warning lights; the lights can be powered at flashing frequencies close to the minimums authorized by these same standards, ie 60 cycles per minute, when they operate as direction change indicator lights.
- the flashing units can be such that they command a flashing at a frequency of 160 cycles per minute in the event of a failure of a main lamp.
- the present invention thus consists in increasing the frequency of flashing of the hazard warning lights while keeping the use of direction change indicators and by safeguarding the warning clause of damage to a bulb.
- the accompanying drawing illustrates an example of implementation of the invention.
- the device includes a flashing unit 1 controlled by the distress signal switch 3, and a flashing unit 2 controlled by the direction change indicator (commodo) 4, for supplying the direction change indicator circuit 22 and 23.
- the direction change indicator switch (commodo) 4 not directly supplies the bulbs but the relay 44 or 45. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the two circuits, hazard warning lights and indicators, are open.
- the switch 3 If the switch 3 is actuated to supply the central unit 1, at 120 cycles per minute, the lamps of the two direction change indicator circuits 22 and 23 and the indicator lamps 31 and 32 are supplied at this same maximum authorized frequency.
- the relay 45 acts to cut off at 452 the supply of the lamps 23 of the distress signal and to connect at 451 these lamps 23 to the control unit 2, which controls the flashing of these lamps at a frequency of 60 cycles per minute. The vehicle is then in hazard lights on the left and in direction indicator lights on the right.
- switch 4 Still during the operation of the hazard warning lights (switch 3 in service), if switch 4 is flipped to the left, relay 44 then for the action of cutting off at 442 the supply of the lamps 22 of the distress signal and of connecting at 441 these lamps to the central unit 2, which controls the flashing of these lamps at a frequency of 60 cycles per minute.
- the switch 4 can indifferently supply the relays 45 or 44 to close the circuits of the direction change indicator lights, supplied by the control unit 2.
- the modification of the supply of the current distress signal thus consists to replace the single flashing unit by a flashing unit exclusively intended for the control of the hazard lights, and consists in inserting a second flashing unit between the change of direction switch 4 and the relays.
- the existing controls for the direction change indicator lights and the distress signal are absolutely not modified by the installation of the device according to the invention.
- This device by a slight modification of the power supply for direction change indicator lights, provides considerably improved safety while remaining within the standards in force. It goes without saying that the invention is not limited to the embodiment described above by way of example but that it extends to all the embodiments covered by the claims appended hereto.
