PATENTS Dr. Prof. FRANCO CICOGNA Description of the Utility Model entitled: Light panel connected to traffic lights" on behalf of the Lords Alberto Amorin Palomeque Martin Palomeque Hughes of Uruguayan nationality, resident in Montevideo Uryguay and electively domiciled at the Patent Office Dr. Franco Stork, in Via Vi- discounts in Modrone 14 / A - Milan. MI 9 8 U 0 2 'I 3 Deposited on DESCRIPTION The object of the invention is a light panel connected to traffic lights. There are many systems commercially available of light panels for advertising purposes coitmer- AND 1 I note that their effectiveness depends on many factors such as their color and the way they look which they light up which, in some cases, is static and in other rotary, but undoubtedly the most important factor their position is probably important. The light panels and the traffic lights known, even if spending on the technical problem exposed, they present the following disadvantages. The visibility of the lights that force STUD O TECHNICAL-LEGAL PATENTS □hon. Prof. FRANCO CICOGNA at the stop it is such that it is not always visible in all visibility conditions, with obvious risks for circulation. During the time interval in which the brake lights are on, drivers queuing at the aforementioned traffic lights run the risk of becoming distracted: when the green lights come back on, traffic in this case it restarts slowly and haphazardly, increasing the possibility of congestion during rush hour. 1 Known illuminated panels are separated from traffic lights and this situation can cause traffic safety problems in case of poor visibility, due to the confusion that can arise when interpreting poorly visible light indications from a distance. The purpose of this invention is to overcome the drawbacks inherent in the prior art. The invention therefore concerns a luminous panel connected to traffic lights, quick and easy to install, affordable, highly visible and not obstructing traffic. According to the finding, a pan was made in the light connected to traffic lights, including a Further constructive re mafori according to STUDY TECHNICAL-LEGAL PATENTS Qualities. Prof. FRANCO CICOGNA features, advantages and particulars of the light panel connected to itself the finding, will be better avoided identified through an examination of the description se- following, with reference to the attached drawings in which is shown for illustrative purposes only, but not limited to: preferred embodiment Figure 1 is a perspective view of the panel bright connected at traffic lights according to the invention. She figure 2 is a partially frontal view section of the illustrated light panel in figure 1. There Figure 3 is a side view of the same light panel. Figure 4 is a perspective view of the panel bright according to the found connected to a first mo of the traffic light. Figure 5 is pay disposition a perspective view of a di- of the aforementioned light panel relative to the same traffic light model. Figure 6 is a perspective view of the panel bright object connected to a different model of traffic light. With particular reference to numeric symbols of the figures previously described, the model in STUDY TECHNICAL-LEGAL PATENTS Dr. Pro!. FRANCO CICOGNA rectangular, circular or rhomboid shaped biintent le, susceptible to being placed near sema 2 holes in streets or roads, connected to their system electric or with a separate electrical device, in such that it has to switch alternative automatically turns on and off its 3 light elements, in parallel and / or simultaneously with the traffic light system. The aforementioned light elements 3 can be switched on or off in synchronization with all three lights 4 of the traffic light, or just with the red one. The panel Iaccording to the invention, far from disturbing the attention of drivers and pedestrians, is likely to serve as a commercial advertising medium and, at the same time, it is capable of supporting and reinforcing the purpose of traffic lights 2, with city traffic becoming increasingly chaotic due to the large number of vehicles in cities. It can advantageously display road safety signs, such as "Red light - stop - obey this sign!", as well as road-related information, such as the name and direction of streets, and so on. Advantageously the structure of said panel- It features a closed rear part 5 and an open front part 6, the translucent surface of which, made of a reflective or transparent material, can be protected from external light by a covering element or visor 7 in the upper part and on the sides. Its location and size will be such as not to interfere with the visibility of the surrounding environment, so as to maintain balance with the shape and dimensions of the existing traffic lights 2, and allowing the inclusion of legible texts and the name of the commercial company supporting the function of the traffic lights. Naturally, the shape and dimensions of the various elements making up the light panel connected to the traffic lights in question may vary according to different needs, all without departing from the scope of this invention. ff / STUDIO yA / * / TECNICO-LEGA Le\c\ [-è PATENTS j'| 8 \ Dr. Prof. / S'j V\franco CICOGNA / ' / .7.^ /
