METHOD OF SENDING LIGHT SIGNAL AND LIGHT SIGNALING DEVICE Russian patent published in 2005 - IPC

FIELD: transport engineering.

SUBSTANCE: group of inventions relates to electrical equipment of vehicles and is designed for light signaling at beginning of maneuvering, particularly, at turning. According to proposed method, at turning alternate switching on of turn indicators and side light lamps of corresponding side of vehicle is provided. Proposed device contains side light circuit including external side lights switch, headlight side lamps and rear lights side lamps and side lamps ON pilot lamp. Turn indicator circuit is provided including breaker, multiposition change-over switch, front turn indicator lamps, rear turn indicator lamps and two lamps indicating that turn indicators of left-hand and right-and side of vehicle are turned one. Device contains additionally two change-over devices, of right-hand and left-hand side, respectively, in side light circuit, and device for time shift of signal received from breaker placed between breaker and change-over device. One of signal inputs of each change-over device is connected with switch of external side circuit, and the other, with signal time shift device. Control input of each change-over device is connected with multiposition change-over switch, and output, with side light lamps. Multiposition change-over switch is made for closing turn indicator circuit, or turn indicator circuit with simultaneous supply of signal to control input of corresponding change-over device in side light circuit.

EFFECT: improved indication of maneuvering.
