Description

DISPOSITIF DE SIGNALEMENT DU FREINAGE A L'AVANT D'UN VÉHICULE, COMPORTANT UNE BANDE COLLANTE ÉQUIPÉE DE LED  VEHICLE FRONT BRAKE REPORTING DEVICE HAVING A STICK BAND EQUIPPED WITH LEDS
DOMAINE TECHNIQUE DE L'INVENTION TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
La présente invention concerne un dispositif de signalement visuel du freinage prévu pour être installé à l'avant d'un véhicule automobile, ainsi qu'un véhicule automobile équipé d'un tel dispositif. The present invention relates to a visual signaling device for braking intended to be installed at the front of a motor vehicle, and a motor vehicle equipped with such a device.
ARRIÈRE PLAN TECHNOLOGIQUE DE L'INVENTION BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Tout véhicule automobile comporte à l'arrière des feux stop qui s'allument quand son conducteur appuie sur la pédale de frein, afin de signaler au conducteur d ' un autre véhicule qui le suit le ralentissement du véhicule de tête et de permettre ainsi au conducteur de cet autre véhicule de se préparer à freiner, ou de freiner immédiatement si nécessaire . En général, un contacteur disposé directement sur la pédale de frein ferme un circuit électrique qui commande l'allumage des feux stop à l'arrière du véhicule concerné . Every motor vehicle has brake lights at the rear which come on when the driver presses on the brake pedal, in order to signal to the driver of another vehicle following it the slowing down of the leading vehicle and thus to allow the driver this other vehicle to prepare to brake, or to brake immediately if necessary. In general, a contactor disposed directly on the brake pedal closes an electrical circuit that controls the ignition of the brake lights at the rear of the vehicle concerned.
En particulier lors des freinages d 'urgence, le conducteur suiveur voit l'allumage des feux stop avant qu ' il ne perçoive le ralentissement du véhicule qui le précède, ce qui lui fait gagner des fractions de seconde pour réagir et lui permettre ainsi d ' éviter un accident .  In particular, during emergency braking, the follower driver sees the lights stop before he perceives the slowing of the vehicle ahead, which saves him fractions of a second to react and thus allow him to avoid an accident.
En 1998, la réglementation européenne a rendu obligatoire la présence d ' un troisième feu stop central, généralement disposé en haut de la lunette arrière de tout véhicule, construction qui permet d ' augmenter la visibilité du signal de freinage compte- tenu de l'importance que celui-ci représente en vue d ' éviter des accidents .  In 1998, the European regulations made mandatory the presence of a third central brake light, generally located at the top of the rear window of any vehicle, which makes it possible to increase the visibility of the braking signal given the importance that it represents in order to avoid accidents.
Par ailleurs, il est connu, notamment par le document US-A- 5798691, d ' installer à l'avant du véhicule des feux de signalement du freinage, reliés en parallèle aux feux stop arrière . Furthermore, it is known, in particular from document US-A-5798691, to install at the front of the vehicle braking signaling, connected in parallel with the rear brake lights.
Ces feux stop avant permettent, en particulier dans un croisement de deux rues, lorsqu'un conducteur d'un second véhicule ou un piéton voit arriver un premier véhicule en face, de mieux percevoir un freinage ou une absence de freinage, qui peut indiquer que le premier véhicule va respectivement tourner ou continuer tout droit. Ainsi prévenu, le second conducteur ou le piéton peut réagir en conséquence et éviter des accidents.  These front brake lights allow, especially in a crossing of two streets, when a driver of a second vehicle or pedestrian sees arriving a first vehicle in front, to better perceive a braking or no braking, which may indicate that the first vehicle will respectively turn or continue straight. Thus warned, the second driver or the pedestrian can react accordingly and avoid accidents.
Toutefois, ce dispositif connu à l'inconvénient de présenter des feux stop avant sous forme d'un boîtier allongé recevant une série de lampes disposées à l'intérieur, fermé du côté avant par une plaque transparente, ce qui constitue un ensemble relativement encombrant, lourd et onéreux. Il faut en particulier prévoir un emplacement spécifique dans la carrosserie pour recevoir ce boîtier, ce qui amène à modifier sensiblement l'avant du véhicule qui doit en être équipé.  However, this device known to have the disadvantage of having front stop lamps in the form of an elongated housing receiving a series of lamps arranged inside, closed on the front side by a transparent plate, which constitutes a relatively bulky assembly, heavy and expensive. In particular, it is necessary to provide a specific location in the bodywork to receive this housing, which leads to substantially modify the front of the vehicle which must be equipped.
De plus, cet ensemble de feux stop avant insérés dans un boîtier présentant en conséquence un certain poids reçoit des vis de serrage traversant un élément de la carrosserie pour fixer le boîtier à l'avant du véhicule. Aussi, compte-tenu du poids représenté par le boîtier et son équipement, il faut notamment prévoir un support de la carrosserie et des fixations suffisantes afin de résister aux vibrations du véhicule, en particulier tout à l'avant du compartiment moteur .  In addition, this set of front brake lights inserted into a casing having a certain weight consequently receives clamping screws passing through a body part to fix the casing to the front of the vehicle. Also, given the weight represented by the housing and its equipment, it is necessary to provide a support body and fasteners sufficient to withstand the vibration of the vehicle, especially at the front of the engine compartment.
DESCRIPTION GÉNÉRALE DE L'INVENTION GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
La présente invention a notamment pour but d ' éviter ces inconvénients de la technique antérieure . The present invention is intended to avoid these disadvantages of the prior art.
Elle propose à cet effet un dispositif de signalement visuel du freinage d ' un véhicule comprenant une série de lampes, prévu pour être disposé à l'avant dudit véhicule et pour allumer ces lampes lors des freinages du véhicule, ledit dispositif étant remarquable en ce qu'il comporte une bande comprenant des conducteurs électriques d'alimentation de la série de lampes qui sont choisies du type diode électroluminescente « LED », ces lampes étant disposées pour éclairer vers le côté avant de la bande, la face arrière de ladite bande étant prévue pour être collée sur la partie avant de la carrosserie du véhicule, le dispositif comportant un faisceau extérieur de fils d'alimentation électrique des lampes, qui sort de la bande à une distance de son extrémité comprise entre le quart et la moitié de la longueur de ladite bande . It proposes for this purpose a device for visually signaling the braking of a vehicle comprising a series of lamps, intended to be disposed in front of said vehicle and to ignite these lamps during braking of the vehicle, said a device being remarkable in that it comprises a strip comprising electrical conductors for supplying the series of lamps which are chosen from the "LED" light-emitting diode type, these lamps being arranged to illuminate towards the front side of the strip, the face rear of said strip being adapted to be glued to the front portion of the vehicle body, the device comprising an outer beam of lamp power supply son, which leaves the band at a distance from its end between the quarter and half the length of said band.
Par « partie avant de la carrosserie », il faut ici entendre cette expression au sens large, c'est-à-dire aussi bien la carrosserie du véhicule à proprement parler, mais aussi toutes les pièces extérieures qui en sont solidaires à l'avant, et notamment son pare-chocs avant et sa plaque d ' immatriculation avant .  By "front part of the body", we must here hear this expression in the broadest sense, that is to say, both the body of the vehicle itself, but also all the external parts that are attached to the front , including its front bumper and front license plate.
Un avantage de ce dispositif de signalement visuel du freinage est que, de manière simple et économique, en rapportant directement des lampes du type LED sur une bande comprenant des conducteurs électriques d'alimentation de ces lampes, on réalise un support comprenant la série de lampes ainsi que leur alimentation, constituant un ensemble léger, qui peut être très plat, et qui est rapide et relativement facile à installer.  An advantage of this visual braking signaling device is that, in a simple and economical way, by directly reporting lamps of the LED type on a strip comprising electrical conductors supplying these lamps, a support is made comprising the series of lamps. as well as their feeding, constituting a light set, which can be very flat, and which is quick and relatively easy to install.
En particulier, la face arrière de la bande peut alors être aisément collée sur la carrosserie, sur le pare-chocs avant, de préférence à proximité de la plaque d ' immatriculation ou, mieux encore, sur cette plaque, un tel collage assurant de manière suffisante la fixation de cet ensemble qui est léger, sans avoir à modifier le véhicule .  In particular, the rear face of the strip can then be easily bonded to the bodywork, to the front bumper, preferably close to the registration plate or, better still, on this plate, such a bonding ensuring sufficient fixing of this set that is lightweight, without having to modify the vehicle.
Le dispositif de signalement visuel du freinage selon l'invention peut de plus comporter une ou plusieurs des caractéristiques suivantes, qui peuvent être combinées entre elles . The visual braking signaling device according to the invention may also comprise one or more of the characteristics that can be combined with each other.

DESCRIPTION D'UN MODE DE RÉALISATION PRÉFÉRÉ DE L'INVENTION DESCRIPTION OF A PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION
Les Figures 1, 2 et 3 présentent une étroite bande 2 souple et plate, de préférence très allongée, recevant une série de lampes 6 du type diodes électroluminescentes ( LED) , par exemple au nombre de quinze, lampes qui sont régulièrement réparties suivant l'axe de symétrie principal de cette bande . Figures 1, 2 and 3 have a narrow strip 2 flexible and flat, preferably very elongated, receiving a series of lamps 6 of the type of light-emitting diodes (LED), for example fifteen in number, lamps which are regularly distributed according to the main axis of symmetry of this band.
Les lampes 6 du genre LED précité sont intégrées dans l'épaisseur de la bande 2 et, lorsqu ' elles sont parcourues par un courant électrique, elles diffusent leur lumière au travers de la face avant 4 de cette bande .  The lamps 6 of the aforementioned kind LED are integrated in the thickness of the strip 2 and, when they are traversed by an electric current, they diffuse their light through the front face 4 of this band.
Afin d ' alimenter lesdites LED, n faisceau électrique comprenant deux fils 14, 16 est relié à la face arrière 30 de la bande 2, en un point situé de préférence entre le quart et la moitié de la longueur de ladite bande, et par exemple situé environ au tiers de ladite longueur, compté à partir d'une extrémité de cette bande. In order to supply said LEDs, an electrical harness comprising two wires 14, 16 is connected to the rear face 30 of the strip 2, at a point preferably between one quarter and one half of the length of said strip, and for example situated about one-third of said length, counted from one end of this band.
Le faisceau électrique est relié à deux conducteurs 40, 42 qui sont intégrés dans l'épaisseur de la bande 2 et qui parcourent la longueur de cette bande, de manière à alimenter l'ensemble des lampes 6 disposées en parallèle pour leur délivrer un courant d'alimentation continu, qui est en général de 12V sur les véhicules de tourisme .  The electrical harness is connected to two conductors 40, 42 which are integrated in the thickness of the strip 2 and which run along the length of this strip, so as to supply all the lamps 6 arranged in parallel to deliver a current of continuous power supply, which is usually 12V on passenger vehicles.
Le faisceau électrique comporte un fil de masse 14 prévu pour être fixé sur la masse du véhicule, et un fil d'alimentation 16 prévu pour être relié au contacteur stop 18 commandé par la pédale de frein 20, qui est lui-même alimenté par le courant positif de la batterie du véhicule.  The electrical harness comprises a ground wire 14 intended to be fixed on the mass of the vehicle, and a supply wire 16 intended to be connected to the stop switch 18 controlled by the brake pedal 20, which is itself powered by the positive current of the vehicle battery.
De cette manière, un freinage du véhicule commande automatiquement en même temps les feux stop arrière de ce véhicule et les LED de la bande lumineuse avant 2.  In this way, a braking of the vehicle automatically controls at the same time the rear stop lamps of this vehicle and the LEDs of the front light strip 2.
Selon un mode de réalisation, la bande 2 est réalisée dans une matière plastique souple contenant à l'intérieur les deux conducteurs électriques 40, 42 qui s'étendent le long de cette bande pour, respectivement, connecter chacune des lampes 6 à la masse et à la borne plus de la batterie. De cette manière, il suffit d'intégrer les lampes 6 dans la bande souple et flexible 2 suivant un espacement régulier, avec leurs deux connexions reliées sur chacun des conducteurs électriques 40, 42.  According to one embodiment, the strip 2 is made of a flexible plastic material containing inside the two electrical conductors 40, 42 which extend along this strip to respectively connect each of the lamps 6 to ground and at the battery terminal plus. In this way, it is sufficient to integrate the lamps 6 in the flexible and flexible strip 2 in a regular spacing, with their two connections connected to each of the electrical conductors 40, 42.
De plus, les lampes 6 et les conducteurs électriques 40, In addition, the lamps 6 and the electrical conductors 40,
42 étant intégrés dans la matière plastique souple de la bande 2, ils sont les unes et les autres protégés de l' humidité et des éléments extérieurs, ce qui garantit un bon vieillissement . 42 being integrated in the flexible plastic material of the strip 2, they are both protected from moisture and external elements, which guarantees good aging.
En variante, les conducteurs électriques 40, 42 peuvent être formées par un circuit électrique imprimé, qui peut en particulier être souple .  Alternatively, the electrical conductors 40, 42 may be formed by a printed electrical circuit, which may in particular be flexible.
Avantageusement, on dispose des lampes 6 d ' une couleur différente du rouge traditionnellement utilisé pour les feux stop arrière des véhicules, de manière que l'allumage de ces lampes ne puisse pas se confondre avec les feux stop arrière, et donner ainsi une fausse impression à un observateur - lui- même conducteur, cycliste ou piéton -, en particulier la nuit où il ne distingue pas bien le véhicule, et laisser croire à cet observateur qu'il se situe en arrière de ce véhicule. On peut utiliser notamment une couleur verte pour les lampes 6, couleur qui donc change complètement des couleurs blanche, orange ou rouge déjà utilisées pour le signalement des véhicules. Advantageously, there are lamps 6 of a different color from the red traditionally used for fires rear stop of the vehicles, so that the ignition of these lamps can not be confused with the rear brake lights, and thus give a false impression to an observer - himself a driver, cyclist or pedestrian -, especially at night he does not distinguish well the vehicle, and let believe this observer that it is located behind this vehicle. In particular, a green color can be used for the lamps 6, which color therefore completely changes the colors white, orange or red already used for the signaling of the vehicles.
La face arrière 30 de la bande 2, qui est lisse, est prévue pour être collée sur un élément avant de la carrosserie du véhicule . En particulier, on prévoit avantageusement un adhésif autocollant sur la face arrière 30 de la bande 2, cet adhésif comportant un film de protection, par exemple de silicone, qui est enlevé au moment de la pose de la bande 2 afin de dégager ladite face arrière adhésive. De cette manière, la fixation du dispositif de signalement sur le véhicule est rapide et simple.  The rear face 30 of the strip 2, which is smooth, is intended to be glued to a front element of the vehicle body. In particular, a self-adhesive adhesive is advantageously provided on the rear face 30 of the strip 2, this adhesive comprising a protective film, for example of silicone, which is removed at the time of laying the strip 2 in order to release said rear face adhesive. In this way, the attachment of the signaling device on the vehicle is fast and simple.
Dans cet exemple, la bande 2 comporte une largeur d ' environ lcm et une longueur d ' environ 30cm, avec deux extrémités légèrement arrondies, ce qui lui permet de trouver facilement une place sur la face avant du véhicule, en particulier sur le pare-chocs, j uste au-dessus de la plaque d ' immatriculation . En variante, les dimensions choisies ci- dessus à titre d ' exemple permettent aussi de fixer la bande 2 directement sur la plaque d ' immatriculation, au-dessus ou en dessous des numéros déjà apposés sur cette plaque qui doivent quant à eux demeurer parfaitement lisibles .  In this example, the strip 2 has a width of about 1 cm and a length of about 30 cm, with two slightly rounded ends, which allows it to easily find a place on the front face of the vehicle, in particular on the screen. shocks above the license plate. In a variant, the dimensions chosen above by way of example also make it possible to fix the strip 2 directly on the license plate, above or below the numbers already affixed to this plate, which must in turn remain perfectly legible. .
Pour une pose du dispositif de signalement sur le pare- chocs avant du véhicule, habituellement réalisé en matière plastique, en particulier sur la partie plane où se trouve la plaque d ' immatriculation, constituant une position nettement visible qui peut présenter la place nécessaire pour fixer la bande 2, il suffit de réaliser tout d'abord un perçage de ce pare-chocs facilité par la matière plastique le constituant pour passer le faisceau électrique à l'intérieur, et de coller ensuite la bande 2 en recouvrant ce perçage. For installation of the warning device on the front bumper of the vehicle, usually made of plastic material, in particular on the flat part where the license plate is located, constituting a distinct position visible which may have the necessary space to fix the strip 2, it suffices to first make a piercing of the bumper facilitated by the plastic material constituting it to pass the electric harness inside, and then to glue the strip 2 covering this piercing.
Pour une pose du dispositif de signalement sur la plaque d'immatriculation, il faut alors percer la plaque, généralement en aluminium ou en plastique, puis le pare-chocs se trouvant derrière pour passer le faisceau électrique dans le trou ainsi percé. On peut aussi retirer un rivet de maintien de la plaque d'immatriculation pour la faire pivoter autour de l'autre rivet, afin de percer le pare-chocs plus facilement, puis remettre en place la plaque d'immatriculation et la percer à son tour en regard du trou formé dans le pare-chocs.  For installation of the warning device on the license plate, it is then necessary to drill the plate, usually aluminum or plastic, then the bumper behind to pass the harness in the hole thus drilled. A license plate retaining rivet can also be removed to rotate around the other rivet to pierce the bumper more easily, and then replace the license plate and drill it into place. next to the hole formed in the bumper.
II reste ensuite à l'opérateur à faire courir le faisceau électrique dans le compartiment moteur du véhicule à équiper, pour relier les deux fils 14, 16 aux connexions correspondantes .  It then remains for the operator to run the harness in the engine compartment of the vehicle to be equipped, to connect the two son 14, 16 to the corresponding connections.
Par ailleurs, la face avant 4 de la bande 2 peut avantageusement comporter sur le côté gauche des lettres 8 telles que « J-V-A-V-I » interposées chacune entre deux lampes 6, qui constituent à la fois une marque du fabricant du dispositif de signalement, et une indication supplémentaire pour l'observateur regardant ce dispositif qui s'allume. En particulier, dans cet exemple, les lettres 8 veulent dire « Je Vous Ai Vu International », cette indication pouvant donner l'information que le conducteur freine son véhicule après avoir vu l'observateur disposé devant.  Moreover, the front face 4 of the strip 2 may advantageously comprise on the left side letters 8 such as "JVAVI" interposed each between two lamps 6, which constitute both a manufacturer's mark of the signaling device, and an indication extra for the observer looking at this device that turns on. In particular, in this example, the letters 8 mean "I've Seen You International", this indication may give information that the driver brakes his vehicle after seeing the observer in front.
La face avant 4 de la bande 2 peut également comporter, par exemple au centre, une deuxième indication comprenant un drapeau 10 du pays de circulation habituelle du véhicule, qui dans cet exemple comporte trois bandes de couleurs verticales, successivement le bleu, le blanc et le rouge, pour signaler un véhicule français. En variante, on peut mettre une indication du pays sous forme de lettres suivant un code international, ou encore une indication de la région à l'intérieur d'un pays. The front face 4 of the strip 2 may also include, for example in the center, a second indication comprising a flag 10 of the country of usual circulation of the vehicle, which in this example comprises three vertical color bands, successively blue, white and red, to signal a French vehicle. Alternatively, an indication of the country may be in the form of letters according to an international code, or an indication of the region within a country.
La face avant 4 de la bande 2 peut aussi comporter à droite une troisième indication 12, comprenant dans cet exemple une lettre suivie de chiffres « ΑΘ ΘΘ 1 », un tel ensemble constituant un numéro de série national de ce dispositif de signalement apposé par le fabricant ou par une personne réalisant le montage. On peut aussi ajouter sur le dispositif de signalement, ou mettre à la place de ce numéro de série, le numéro d ' immatriculation du véhicule .  The front face 4 of the strip 2 may also include on the right a third indication 12, comprising in this example a letter followed by digits "ΑΘ ΘΘ 1", such a set constituting a national serial number of this signaling device affixed by the manufacturer or by a person carrying out the assembly. It is also possible to add the registration number of the vehicle to the reporting device, or to replace this serial number.
Ainsi, le dispositif de signalement conforme à l'invention peut en particulier être vendu par un réseau de professionnels de l'automobile qui, après la présentation de la carte grise du véhicule, dispose le numéro de série ou le numéro d ' immatriculation de ce véhicule sur le dispositif de signalement .  Thus, the signaling device according to the invention may in particular be sold by a network of automotive professionals who, after the presentation of the vehicle's registration certificate, has the serial number or the registration number of that vehicle. vehicle on the reporting device.
Le réseau de professionnels tient alors un registre des numéros de série des dispositifs délivrés, comprenant la radiation de ce registre en cas de destruction du véhicule, ce qui permet d'ajouter un système de sécurité supplémentaire sur l' identification des véhicules, évitant notamment des doublons sur leurs identifications en cas de trafic illicite .  The network of professionals then keeps a register of the serial numbers of the devices delivered, including the cancellation of this register in the event of destruction of the vehicle, which makes it possible to add an additional security system to the identification of the vehicles, in particular avoiding duplicate on their identifications in case of illegal traffic.
Le dispositif de signalement selon l'invention peut aussi être fixé à l'avant d ' une moto, en collant par exemple la bande 2 verticalement sur l'un des deux bras de la fourche avant, et ce afin de diriger le signal visuel de freinage de ladite moto vers l'avant .  The signaling device according to the invention can also be attached to the front of a motorcycle, for example by gluing the strip 2 vertically on one of the two arms of the front fork, and this in order to direct the visual signal of braking said motorcycle forward.
Dans ce cas, il faut installer le faisceau électrique 14, 16 en remontant le long de la fourche pour réaliser l'alimentation électrique du dispositif de signalement .  In this case, it is necessary to install the electrical harness 14, 16 up along the fork to provide the power supply of the signaling device.
Dans une variante, la plaque d ' immatriculation 50 est préparée spécifiquement pour recevoir le dispositif 2 selon l'invention, comme montré sur les figures 4 et 5. La plaque 50 est munie d'une feuillure 52 le long d'un bord long 54, par exemple le bord destiné à être supérieur. Le dispositif 2 est fixé par collage ou par adhésif dans la feuillure 52, de telle sorte qu'il est affleurant à la surface visible 56 de la plaque 50. Les conducteurs 14, 16 traversent la plaque pour déboucher sur la face arrière 58 opposée à la face visible 56. La feuillure 52 pourrait être remplacée par une rainure. In a variant, the license plate 50 is prepared specifically to receive the device 2 according to the invention, as shown in Figures 4 and 5. The plate 50 is provided with a rebate 52 along a long edge 54, for example the edge intended to be greater. The device 2 is fixed by adhesive or adhesive in the rebate 52, so that it is flush with the visible surface 56 of the plate 50. The conductors 14, 16 pass through the plate to open on the rear face 58 opposite to the visible face 56. The rabbet 52 could be replaced by a groove.
On réalise ainsi un dispositif de signalement simple et économique, compact et léger, qui peut être facilement fixé à l'avant de n'importe quel véhicule automobile.  This provides a simple and economical reporting device, compact and lightweight, which can be easily attached to the front of any motor vehicle.
Son intérêt est varié. Il peut notamment indiquer le freinage du véhicule à l'approche d'un carrefour ou d'un passage pour piétons, pour rassurer un piéton ou un autre automobiliste du freinage du véhicule, ou à l'inverse pour le prévenir de son absence de freinage, de manière à lui permettre de prendre ses dispositions en vue d'éviter un accident.  His interest is varied. It may in particular indicate the braking of the vehicle when approaching a junction or a pedestrian crossing, to reassure a pedestrian or another motorist of the braking of the vehicle, or conversely to warn him of his absence of braking so as to enable him to take steps to avoid an accident.
Le dispositif de signalement peut aussi prévenir des forces de l'ordre qui demandent à un véhicule de s'arrêter, pour leur indiquer que ce véhicule freine, ou au contraire qu'il ne freine pas ce qui alors leur laisse assez de temps pour s'écarter de la trajectoire probable du véhicule.  The reporting device may also warn law enforcement officials who ask a vehicle to stop, to indicate that the vehicle is braking, or on the contrary that it does not brake what then leaves them enough time to to avoid the probable trajectory of the vehicle.
Il peut aussi prévenir un véhicule venant en face lors d'un resserrement de la voie comprenant un passage dans un seul sens, par exemple à l'approche d'un pont étroit, ou dans une rue comprenant des bordures de ralentissement ou de parking sur un côté et qui ne laissent donc plus qu ' un seul sens de circulation, afin de signaler que ce véhicule peut passer ou au contraire doit s ' arrêter avant de s ' engager dans ce resserrement .  It can also warn a vehicle coming in front of a constriction of the lane including a passage in one direction, for example when approaching a narrow bridge, or in a street with slow edges or parking on one side and thus leave only one direction of circulation, to indicate that this vehicle can pass or on the contrary must stop before engaging in this tightening.
On notera que les bandes 2 en matière plastique contenant les lampes 6 du type LED intégrées dedans sont des productions en grande série courantes, commercialisées pour un coût très modéré, et qu'elles sont habituellement utilisées pour notamment réaliser des décorations d'intérieur comprenant un éclairage diffus réparti le long de ces bandes. It will be noted that the strips 2 made of plastic material containing the lamps 6 of the LED type incorporated in are current mass-produced productions, marketed at a very low cost. moderate, and that they are usually used for particular to achieve interior decorations including diffuse lighting distributed along these bands.
Comme il va de soi, l'invention ne se limite pas aux seuls modes d'exécution préférentiels décrits ci-dessus.  It goes without saying that the invention is not limited to the only preferred embodiments described above.
Elle embrasse au contraire toutes les variantes possibles de réalisation, pour autant que ces dernières ne sortent pas du cadre délimité par les revendications ci-jointes qui définissent la portée de la présente invention.  On the contrary, it embraces all the possible variants of embodiment, insofar as the latter do not go beyond the scope delimited by the appended claims which define the scope of the present invention.
