Front brake light for motor vehicles

Abstract

Front brake light for motor vehicles, characterized in that a group of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) is designed to be detachably attached to the rearview mirror of the motor vehicle or to the top of the windscreen of the motor vehicle and can be connected to a brake switch of the electric current of the motor vehicle.

Description

field of technology

[0001] The technical solution concerns front brake light signals for motor vehicles, which serve in particular to warn pedestrians that motor vehicles are braking. Background of the invention

[0002] Currently, pedestrians in road traffic, apart from vehicles with right of way such as police, fire brigade and ambulances or escort vehicles equipped with light and sound signals, can only recognize the braking of approaching vehicles, whether on the road to a marked level crossing or outside, based on their own knowledge and observation of the approaching vehicles, which under certain circumstances, especially in the case of limited visibility, inattention of the driver or inattention of the pedestrian, can lead to a dangerous situation.

[0003] The known technical solution is found in Slovak Utility Model No. 2798 entitled "Third Brake Light with Spray Nozzle," which consists of a rear cover and a translucent cover to which a diffuser with a holder for light elements is attached. The translucent cover has a raised circumferential ridge, and the spray nozzle is attached to an extension of the rear cover. The raised circumferential ridge of the translucent cover has mounting tabs on its outer surface for attaching it to the inner body panel. The disadvantage of this technical solution is that the third brake light is located only at the rear of the vehicle.

[0004] Another known technical solution is found in Slovak utility model no. 2924 entitled "Wiring of a brake light circuit with low visibility, consisting of a voltage source, a rear fog light, a rear fog light switch with an on-signal and a brake light foot switch, wherein the rear fog light switch with a parallel-connected rear fog light on-signal is connected to a voltage supply terminal of the dipped beam switch and simultaneously connected to the rear fog light, to which the coil of the switching relay is connected in parallel, and the brake light foot switch is connected to the voltage supply terminal of the terminal and simultaneously connected to the brake lights, which are connected in parallel to the input contact of the switching relay, and the output contact of the switching relay is connected to at least one coherent light source."The disadvantage of this wiring is that the brake light cannot be mounted at the rear of the vehicle.

[0005] Another known technical solution is found in Slovak utility model no. 3532 entitled "Brake light for road vehicles with indication of the intensity of speed change," which consists of a brake light body with light cells, an electronic accelerometer block, a bar graph for the gradual illumination of the light cells, and two power supply voltage inputs. Within the brake light body, which has a light cell scale with a central distribution cell, the light cells are connected to the power supply. An accelerometer electronic block with a bar graph for the gradual illumination of the connected light cells is also connected to the power supply. The disadvantage of this technical solution is that the brake light cannot be mounted at the rear of the vehicle.

[0006] Another known technical solution is found in Czech Utility Model No. 28394 entitled "Brake light with variable intensity," which consists of a group of light sources electrically connected to the electrical contact of a brake switch and integrated into the electrical system of a road vehicle. The brake light sources are grouped together, with each group being electrically interconnected. The brake switch has at least two switching positions in addition to the off position, each position having its own electrical contact. Each group of lamps is electrically connected to a contact of the brake switch. The disadvantage of this technical solution is that the brake light cannot be mounted at the front of the vehicle.

[0007] Another known technical solution is found in Czech Utility Model No. 34065 entitled "Brake light for indicating the acceleration or braking speed of a motor vehicle, consisting of at least three differently colored groups of light sources on a motor vehicle, wherein the brake light has an internal or external control unit, the control unit of the anti-lock braking system being connected to the first group of light sources and the accelerator pedal potentiometer or the engine control unit being connected to the second group of light sources, and furthermore, wherein the control unit and the light sources are powered from the electrical power distribution system of the motor vehicle." The disadvantage of this technical solution is that the brake light cannot be mounted on the front of the vehicle. The essence of the technical solution

[0008] The aforementioned deficiencies are largely eliminated by the front brake light signaling system for motor vehicles according to the present technical solution, which essentially consists of a group of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) being detachably attached to the rear part of the rearview mirror of the motor vehicle or to the top of the windscreen of the motor vehicle and connected to the electric brake switch of the motor vehicle.

[0009] Preferably, the group of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) is a display with thirty-nine LEDs. Examples of training: Example 1

[0010] The front brake light of motor vehicles consists of a group of 39 green light-emitting diodes (LEDs) displaying the word "STOP". One part of this group of green LEDs is removable and mounted on one side of the rearview mirror. The other part of the group is connected to the vehicle's brake light switch. Example 2

[0011] The front brake light of motor vehicles consists of a single component of a group of white light-emitting diodes (LEDs) that displays the word STOP. This component is detachably mounted on one side at the top of the vehicle's windshield so as not to obstruct the driver's view. The second component of the white LED group is connected to the vehicle's brake light switch. Industrial applicability

[0012] The technical solution can be used in cars, trucks, autonomous vehicles, or other road vehicles to warn pedestrians when the vehicle is braking. The display, labeled STOP, measures 17 cm x 6 cm x 1 cm, and the circuit board draws 90 mA.
