Motor Vehicle Brake-State Of Motion Signal-Lights Indicator

US Patent:
4837554, Jun 6, 1989
Filed:
Aug 12, 1988
Appl. No.:
7/231262
Inventors:
Anthony Gianforcaro - Basking Ridge NJ
International Classification:
B60Q 0126
US Classification:
340468
Abstract:
In a preferred embodiment, there is provided a combination of circuitries and signaling lights all fed through a brake-actuation switch in electrical circuit series, such that none of the signaling lights are operative except when the brake is applied. There are two basic signaling light circuitries and lights. The first is operative when a motion indicator switch registers that the automobile is in motion, thereby closing circuit, causing those lights to be lighted or flashing. There is a separate second circuit and lights which become activated when there is no motion, i. e. when motion has terminated if the brake is still being applied. The motion switch has the alternative positions and is preferably connected to the speedometer or other conventional motion-indicator not requiring any newly manufactured motion switch. Each of the separate light circuitries and lights thereof have lights on the front of the automobile and on each of the left and right faces of the automobile near the front of the automobile. Thereby, an oncoming driver or a person or driver on either side of the automobile may be thus advised readily as to the state of braking and movement or non-movement of this motor vehicle.
