Abstract

The slowing indicator has a lamp placed where it is visible to following vehicles. The lamp is controlled by an electric circuit powered from the vehicle's electrical system. Operation of the lamp is controlled by a switch (4) operated by return of the accelerator pedal (6) to the position that slows the engine.The slowing indicator control circuit is independent of the braking lights circuit, and is activated as soon as the driver lifts his foot from the accelerator, so indicating slowing without braking or giving earlier warning of braking.

Description

DESCRIPTION
L'invention concerne un dispositif visualisant la baisse de régime jusqu'au ralenti du moteur du véhicule pour améliorer la sécurité routière.
DESCRIPTION
The invention relates to a device visualizing the drop in speed until the vehicle engine idles to improve road safety.

Avec les dispositions actuelles le conducteur du véhicule suivant un autre véhicule n'est pas informé de la mise au ralenti du moteur du véhicule qui le précède et n'est conscient du ralentissement de ce véhicule qu'au moment où le conducteur le précèdant agit sur la pédale de frein.With the current provisions, the driver of the vehicle following another vehicle is not informed of the idling of the engine of the vehicle preceding it and is only aware of the slowing down of this vehicle when the driver preceding it acts on the brake pedal.

Il s'en suit un retard à la réaction de freinage qui peut entrainer un accident.There follows a delay in the braking reaction which can lead to an accident.

Le dispositif selon l'invention remédie à cet inconvénient.The device according to the invention overcomes this drawback.

Le système consiste en un témoin lumineux qui s'allume électriquement, alimenté dés la fermeture du circuit des gaz d'admission du moteur.The system consists of an electrically illuminated warning light, supplied as soon as the engine intake gas circuit is closed.

Le dispositif comprend un voyant et un interrupteur.The device includes an indicator and a switch.

Le voyant se trouve dans l'habitacle du véhicule de préférence placé prés du rétroviseur intérieur ou en un point de façon qu'il soit visible par le conducteur du véhicule suivant.The indicator is located in the passenger compartment of the vehicle, preferably placed near the interior mirror or at a point so that it is visible to the driver of the next vehicle.

Sa couleur et son intensité sont étudiées pour éviter de jour et de nuit toute gêne aux usagers intérieurs ou extérieurs du véhicule équipé.Its color and intensity are studied to avoid day and night any discomfort to the interior or exterior users of the equipped vehicle.

L'interrupteur est classique. I1 est commandé par l'un des organes contrôlant l'admission des gaz du moteur, la pédale d'accélérateur par exemple.The switch is classic. I1 is controlled by one of the organs controlling the admission of engine gases, the accelerator pedal for example.

Les dessins annéxés illustrent l'invention.The attached drawings illustrate the invention.

La figure 1 schématise un exemple de réalisation du dispositif selon l'invention.Figure 1 shows schematically an embodiment of the device according to the invention.

La figure 2 représente une variante de ce dispositif permettant de gagner quelques fractions de seconde sur la commande d'allumage du voyant.FIG. 2 represents a variant of this device making it possible to save a few fractions of a second on the indicator lighting command.

Selon la figure 1, le dispositif branché aprés le contact (1) sur le circuit d'alimentation électrique (2) du véhicule comprend un circuit électrique (3) comportant un interrupteur (4) que commande par un quelconque mécanisme (5) la pédale d'accélérateur (6) et le voyant (7).According to Figure 1, the device connected after contact (1) on the electrical supply circuit (2) of the vehicle comprises an electrical circuit (3) comprising a switch (4) that controls by any mechanism (5) the pedal accelerator (6) and the warning light (7).

Selon la figure 2, la variante de ce dispositif consiste en ce que l'interrupteur (4) relié au circuit (3) s'adapte sur la pédale d'accélérateur (6) pour être directement commandé à la moindre pression du pied sur celle-ci grâce au têton (8) ou autre mécanisme.According to Figure 2, the variant of this device consists in that the switch (4) connected to the circuit (3) fits on the accelerator pedal (6) to be directly controlled at the slightest pressure of the foot on that -this thanks to the pin (8) or other mechanism.

Le fonctionnement du dispositif est le suivant - Le contact (1) ouvre ou ferme le circuit (3) du dispositif.The device works as follows - The contact (1) opens or closes the circuit (3) of the device.

- Dés l'établissement du contact (1) le voyant (7) s'allume tant que la pédale d'accélérateur (6) n'est pas sollicitée et donc n'agit sur le mécanisme (5) et par conséquence sur l'interrupteur (4) qui ferme le circuit (3). Dans la variante du système, le têton (8) n'étant pas sollicité n'intervient pas sur l'interrupteur (4) qui ferme le circuit (3).- As soon as the contact is established (1) the indicator light (7) lights up as long as the accelerator pedal (6) is not pressed and therefore does not act on the mechanism (5) and consequently on the switch (4) which closes the circuit (3). In the variant of the system, the pin (8) not being pressed does not intervene on the switch (4) which closes the circuit (3).

- Dés l'entrée en action de la pédale d'accélérateur (6), le mécanisme (5) agit sur l'interrupteur (4), ce dernier ouvre le circuit (3) coupant l'alimentation électrique du voyant (7) qui s'éteint. Dans le cas de la variante, c'est le pied du conducteur qui agit sur le têton (8), celui-ci intervient sur l'interrupteur (4). Au relâchement de l'accélérateur (6), le têton (8) permet à l'interrupteur (4) de fermer le circuit (3) avec un gain de quelques fractions de seconde et d'anticiper l'allumage du voyant (7).- As soon as the accelerator pedal (6) comes into action, the mechanism (5) acts on the switch (4), the latter opens the circuit (3) cutting off the electrical supply of the warning light (7) which goes out. In the case of the variant, it is the driver's foot which acts on the pin (8), this intervenes on the switch (4). When the accelerator (6) is released, the pin (8) allows the switch (4) to close the circuit (3) with a gain of a few fractions of a second and to anticipate the lighting of the warning light (7) .

Le dispositif selon l'invention permet d'anticiper la réaction au freinage des conducteurs suivant le véhicule qui en est équipé, et de ce fait contribue à l'amélioration de la sécurité routière.The device according to the invention makes it possible to anticipate the braking reaction of drivers depending on the vehicle which is equipped with it, and therefore contributes to improving road safety.

Le voyant (7) sert également de temoin signalant que le contact (1) n'a pas été coupé. The indicator (7) also serves as a warning light that the contact (1) has not been cut.
