Abstract
Description
La présente invention concerne un dispositif visant à éclairer les passages de roue d'un véhicule lors d'une crevaison survenue dans la nuit et éventuellement lors de la mise en place de chaînes pour la neige en montagne dans l'obscurité, ou autres manipulations nocturnes. The present invention relates to a device intended to illuminate the wheel arches of a vehicle during a puncture that occurred during the night and possibly during the fitting of snow chains in the mountains in the dark, or other night-time manipulations. .
Prennons pour exemple la crevaison. Lorsque celle-ci se produit en pleine nuit, l'automobiliste se doit, selon le code de la route, de mettre les Warnings et de laisser le véhicule en veilleuses pour ne pas gêner les autres conducteurs. Delà, il doit changer la roue endommagée dans l'obscurité ou à l'aide d'une torche électrique s'il en possède une dans son véhicule. La réparation est alors rendue difficile pour l'automobiliste qui se voit encombré du cric, de la torche, de la roue, des boulons.. Take for example the puncture. When it occurs in the middle of the night, the motorist must, according to the highway code, put the Warnings and leave the vehicle on standby so as not to disturb other drivers. From there, he must change the damaged wheel in the dark or with an electric torch if he has one in his vehicle. The repair is then made difficult for the motorist who is encumbered with the jack, the torch, the wheel, the bolts.
Le dispositif selon l'invention permet de remédier à la difficulté de s'éclairer pour changer une roue dans l'obscurité. The device according to the invention overcomes the difficulty of lighting up to change a wheel in the dark.
Il se compose en effet de quatre feux disposés sur chacune des ailes du véhicule au dessus de chaque roue. Le feu, muni de deux ampoules navettes (deux car si l'une d'elle ne fonctionne plus, il en reste une en secours) éclairant vers le sol permet donc, en pleine nuit, de voir la roue à changer, le bas de caisse pour disposer le cric sans aucune gêne, mais aussi d'être vu des autres automobilistes lorsque la crevaison se situe du côté gauche du véhicule, c'est à dire côté route. It is in fact made up of four lights arranged on each of the vehicle's wings above each wheel. The light, fitted with two shuttle bulbs (two because if one of them no longer works, one remains in emergency) lighting towards the ground therefore makes it possible, in the middle of the night, to see the wheel change, the bottom of body to arrange the jack without any discomfort, but also to be seen by other motorists when the puncture is on the left side of the vehicle, that is to say on the road side.
Les feux fixés sur la carrosserie au dessus de chaque roue sont reliés par un circuit électrique vers un contacteur situé au tableau de bord, via une boîte de jonction. The lights attached to the body above each wheel are connected by an electrical circuit to a switch located on the dashboard, via a junction box.
Les dessins annexés illustrent l'invention. The accompanying drawings illustrate the invention.
La figure I représente le dispositif électrique de l'invention, sur un véhicule type.Figure I shows the electrical device of the invention, on a typical vehicle.
La figure 2 représente le schéma électrique de l'invention.Figure 2 shows the electrical diagram of the invention.
La figure 3 représente en coupe, le feu lui-même et ses différentes parties.Figure 3 shows in section, the fire itself and its different parts.
La figure 4 représente le socle nu support d'ampoules, vue de dessous.Figure 4 shows the bare base bulb holder, seen from below.
La figure 5 représente le socle avec ampoules et vis, vue de dessous.Figure 5 shows the base with bulbs and screws, seen from below.
En référence à ces dessins, le dispositif comporte une protection en caoutchouc (p) qui s'intercale entre la carrosserie du véhicule (v) et le socle support d'ampoules (s). With reference to these drawings, the device includes a rubber protection (p) which is inserted between the vehicle body (v) and the bulb support base (s).
Celui-ci dispose de deux épaulements dans lesquels viennent s'emboîter deux ergots moulés au capot (c). Il est ensuite fixé par deux vis (dl) au socle. Le capot est chromé en son intérieur pour facilité la réflection de la lumière.This has two shoulders into which fit two lugs molded into the cover (c). It is then fixed by two screws (dl) to the base. The hood is chromed inside to facilitate the reflection of light.
Les fixations des deux ampoules navettes de 5 Watts chacune (I) sont en laiton. The fasteners of the two 5-watt shuttle bulbs (I) are made of brass.
Les deux vis (e) qui fixent le socle à la carrosserie sont à la masse du véhicule (moins).The two screws (e) that secure the base to the body are to the vehicle ground (minus).
La partie du socle en forme de "U" (u) est reliée au plus par un faisceau (al, a2, a3, a4). The part of the base in the shape of "U" (u) is connected at most by a beam (al, a2, a3, a4).
Les faisceaux des quatre feux convergent alors vers une boîte de jonction (b5). De celle-ci partent
- le faisceau d'alimentation qui rejoint la boîte à fusibles (b6), alimentée par la batterie (b7). Il est protégé par un fusible de 3,5 ampères.The beams of the four lights then converge on a junction box (b5). From it leave
- the supply harness which joins the fuse box (b6), supplied by the battery (b7). It is protected by a 3.5 amp fuse.
- le faisceau de commande qui rejoint le tableau de bord. Il pourra être relié à un contacteur (b8) muni d'un voyant témoin rouge et du symbole d'une roue caractérisant ainsi la fonction de l'invention. - the control harness which joins the dashboard. It can be connected to a contactor (b8) fitted with a red warning light and a wheel symbol thus characterizing the function of the invention.
A titre d'exemple non limitatif et indicatif, les feux auront des dimensions de l'ordre de 11,4 cm pour la longueur, de 2 cm pour la largeur et de 2,9 cm pour la hauteur. By way of nonlimiting and indicative example, the lights will have dimensions of the order of 11.4 cm for the length, 2 cm for the width and 2.9 cm for the height.
Le dispositif selon l'invention est particulièrement destiné à l'équipement de tous véhicules de quatre roues et plus (voitures, semi-remorques, bus, camping-cars, caravanes...) et donc du domaine de la construction automobile. The device according to the invention is particularly intended for equipping all vehicles with four wheels and more (cars, semi-trailers, buses, motorhomes, caravans ...) and therefore in the field of automobile construction.
