- the inhibitor contactor 18 is monostable and can be actuated. by a polarizer 19a, 19b visible in Figure 1, implementing a thrust finger 19a formed at the bottom of the base 14 and cooperating with an opening 19b formed through the bottom 12a of the housing 12 opposite the inhibitor contactor 18.
- the thrust finger 19a passes through the opening 19b to actuate the inhibitor contactor 18, or the thrust finger 19a is placed diametrically opposite to the opening 19b by being unable to actuate the inhibitor switch 18, which is then spontaneously maintained in a stable position.
- the inhibitor contactor 18 can thus be selectively actuated between two separate installation positions of the housing 12 on the base 14.
- the inhibition of the generation by the transmitter 16 of activation orders 24a, 24b to be prohibited is for example effective in the stable position of the inhibitor contactor 18, the actuation of the inhibitor contactor 18 causing the prohibition made to stop. the transmitter 16 to generate any activation orders 24a, 24b to be prohibited. According to one variant and vice versa, the inhibition of the generation by the transmitter 16 of activation orders 24a, 24b to be prohibited can be caused by actuation of the inhibitor contactor 18 from its stable position placing it in a control station. maintaining an unstable position.
- one or more control members 17a, 17b are used to form second inhibitory organs, from their actuation by an individual according to a predefined inhibition code.
- Such an inhibition code relates for example to a predefined actuation by an individual of at least one of the control members 17a, 17b, which may vary in number and / or in duration of pulses exerted on said at least one member. order 17a, 17b.
- the control members 17a, 17b are inefficient in causing the generation or generations by the transmitter 16 of activation commands 24a, 24b to be prohibited.
- the inhibitor switch 18 is in particular assigned to inhibiting the generation of activation orders 24a, 24b to be prohibited from preventive lights with short activation time, in particular a right turn signal preventive light 2a, a left turn signal preventive light 2b and a preventive stop light 2c.
- the control device (s) 17a, 17b, used as an inhibitor device, are assigned to inhibit the generation of activation orders 24a, 24b of preventive fires with a long activation duration, such as in particular at least one fire. distress 2a, 2b, a 2nd fog light and a 2d position light.
- FIG. 6 there is illustrated an exemplary implementation of an apparatus according to the invention, according to which two control devices 11a, 11b are used in complementarity to selectively activate preventive lights 2a-2e that comprises a preventive equipment 4 and whose activations are respectively assigned to the control devices 11a, 11b.
- the apparatus is used for a vehicle 1 which is at least equipped with short duration activating main lights, typically comprising a right turn signal main light 20a, a left turn signal main light 20b and a brake main light 20c.
- the vehicle 1 is still potentially equipped with one or more other main lights 20d, 20e, in particular long-lasting main lights comprising at least one main position light 20d.
- the main lights 20a-20d of the vehicle 1 are supplied with energy from an electrical supply circuit 21 conventionally fitted to the vehicle 1.
- At least one preventive device 4 is used to reinforce the light signaling of the vehicle 1.
- the equipment preventive 4 comprises a support 9, for example arranged in a harness worn by the driver or a rear passenger, which is provided with preventive lights 2a-2e and with a receiver 7 of activation commands 24a, 24b of the preventive lights 2a. 2nd.
- Preventive fires 2a-2e consist of preventive fires 2a-2c with short duration activations, and preventive fires 2d, 2e, 2a-2b with long duration activation.
- brief activation vehicle progress signaling lights include a brake light 2c, a right turn signal light 2a and a left turn signal light 2b.
- signaling lights of the progress of a vehicle with long duration activation comprise in particular a fog light 2e, a position light 2d and a hazard light 2a-2b by simultaneous activation of the right turn signal lights 2a and left turn signal indicator 2b.
- a first control device 11a The operation of a first control device 11a is placed under the control of an individual, in particular the driver or a passenger, to activate preventive lights 2d, 2e, 2a-2b with long-term activation.
- the first control device 11a can be stowed away and be accessible if necessary, by being for example installed on the vehicle 1 and accessible during a halt of the vehicle 1, or for example also by being carried by the individual such than inside a pocket of a garment for example.
- the driver or passenger Prior to the use of the first control device 11a, the driver or passenger places the box 12 on the base 14 in the activation position of the inhibitor switch 18.
- the generations by the transmitter 16 of the first control device 11a of 24a individual activation orders of a right turn signal preventive light 2a, of a left turn signal preventive light 2b, and of a brake preventive light 2c, are then deactivated.
- a second control device 11b is installed on the vehicle 1, being connected to the circuit 21 for the electrical supply of the main lights 20a-20e, via a stranded cable 22 connected to the second control device 11b.
- the second control device 11 b is preferably supplied with electrical energy from strands of the multi-strand cable 22 which are connected to the wires of the electrical supply circuit 21 assigned to the activation of the main position light. 20d of vehicle 1.
- the optional supply of electrical energy to the second control device 11b from an on-board electrical circuit of the vehicle 1 makes it possible to preserve the energy reserve of the battery 23 with which the second control device 11b is equipped. Such a connection causes a break in the electrical connection between the battery 23 and the transmitter 16 of the second control device 11 b.
- the operation of the transmitter 16 of the second control device 11 b is then regulated under the control of the driver of the vehicle 1, from the devices for activating the main lights of the vehicle 1 which are conventionally used by the driver.
- the driver Prior to the use of the second control device 11b, the driver uses the control members 17a, 17b of the second control device 11b to inhibit the individual activation by the second control device 11b of one or more preventive lights 2a-2e of said at least one preventive device 4 which are different from the preventive right turn signal light 2a, the preventive left turn signal light 2b and the preventive brake light 2c, such as in particular at least the preventive position light 2d and according to the type of vehicle the preventive hazard light 2a-2b and the preventive fog light 2e.
- the first control device 11a is used to activate only the preventive lights with long duration activation, in particular the position preventive light 2d, the fog preventive light 2e, and the hazard warning light 2a-2b by an activation command 24a simultaneous of the right turn signal preventive light 2a and the left turn signal preventive light 2b.
- the second control device 11b is used to activate only the preventive lights 2a-2c with brief activation, in particular the preventive brake light 2c, the preventive right turn signal light 2a and the preventive left turn signal light 2b.
