ES1231564U - Magnetic emergency triangle illuminated and foldable (Machine-translation by Google Translate, not legally binding) - Google Patents

Abstract

Magnetic emergency signaling triangle, illuminated and foldable for road traffic, provided with three laths, two of which can be adjusted between a folded storage situation of the triangle and a deployed situation of the triangle as these are joined by joints eccentric in one of its ends to a profile in U that contains them when they are folded and that in turn makes the base of the triangle when deploying the sides.

Description

DESCRIPTION

Emergency triangle magnetic illuminated and foldable.

Technical sector

The present invention belongs to the field of the automobile, and more specifically to the field of optical signaling.

This invention aims at safe and risk-free signaling for the user of damaged vehicles on public roads.

Background of the invention

The signaling of damaged vehicles on public roads is being carried out by means of the so-called breakdown triangles that users must place at a certain distance from the vehicle, which is very dangerous as evidenced by the numbers of injured and deceased who were hit when they were going to place these triangles on the road.

Nowadays there are no other signs, apart from the vehicle's own fault lights (the four flashers running simultaneously), that clearly and unequivocally inform users of the certain danger that exists when a vehicle is stopped due to breakdown. It may be occupying the road.

Explanation of the invention.

The inventor of the present invention has developed a new optical signaling instrument that solves the problem of the serious danger of death that drivers face when their vehicle is damaged and they have to roam the road or shoulder to go to place the triangles, since the Illuminated Magnetic Breakdown Triangle can be placed on the roof of the vehicle without having to lower it.

In addition to improving driver safety, it also improves that of other users as it is visible more than 200 meters in clear weather thanks to the red LEDs that it incorporates in its perimeter. It also incorporates LED white light bulbs that illuminate the area that affects the road, the other drivers can accurately determine the exact position and the type of vehicle in question.

The present invention is configured by an elongated box that acts as the base of the triangle. This box contains the two remaining sides folded inside; which are foldable by being attached to the box by one of the ends by means of a rivet or other means of analogous efficiency, so as to allow the sides to be lifted at the opposite end to said union, thus necessarily forming the triangle when joined by the upper vertex.

Both the base and the sides incorporate on both sides two red LED strips that are powered by batteries (the scheme of the electrical circuit has not been put in the drawings because the inventor is considered obvious and irrelevant for the understanding of the invention) .

The face of the box that faces the ground incorporates a strip of white LEDs of high luminosity to illuminate the affected area of the road, while illuminating the side of the vehicle to facilitate a better identification of the position and size of the vehicle. It is also especially useful if you have to change a wheel, because when you fix the Magnetic Triangle on the hood, you can illuminate the work area necessary for said wheel change, while we will be signaling the position with the red LEDs of the triangle, so that the other drivers are sufficiently warned of the danger. In this same face you can have a battery holder box; A powerful magnet placed on this same side ensures the device is fixed to the roof of the vehicle when it is used.

Brief description of the drawings

To complement the description that is being made and in order to help a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, a set of drawings is attached as an integral part of said description, where illustrative and non-limiting nature has been represented. following:

Figure 1.- Shows a perspective view of the device of the invention.

Figure 2.- Shows a front view of the device of the invention deployed.

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

It can be constructed in any lightweight material such as aluminum or plastic, in Figure 1 a U-shaped profile is indicated, which forms the base of the triangle and contains inside it the two remaining sides thereof, folded; With the number 2 the sides of the triangle mentioned in the previous point are indicated; The number of white LEDs fixed on the lower outer face of the box is indicated with the number 3; The number 4 indicates the strip of red LEDs fixed on the front face of the box, which are the same as those fixed on the other two sides of the triangle indicated below.

The inventor states that the LED strips are also fixed on both the front and back sides of the triangle, but no other drawing has been incorporated for this part because it would be the same as that in Figure 2.

With number 5 the battery holder box is indicated to feed the LED strips .; The number 6 indicates the magnet that will allow the triangle to be fixed to the roof of the vehicle; The number 7 indicates the rivet that joins one end of the side of the triangle to the U-profile that contains it, so that the lifting of the other end is allowed to unfold the triangle.

Figure 2.- Shows a front view of the device of the invention deployed.

The numbers used indicate the same elements in Figure 1 with the exception of number 8, which indicates the surface of the roof of a vehicle to which the triangle will be fixed when it has to be used.

Claims (4)

1. Magnetic emergency signaling triangle, illuminated and foldable for road traffic, provided with three slats, two of which can be adjusted between a folded storage situation of the triangle and a deployed situation of the triangle because they are joined by joints eccentric at one of its ends to a U-profile that contains them when folded and which in turn acts as the base of the triangle when unfolding the sides. 2. Emergency signaling triangle according to claim 1, characterized in that the three sides of the triangle are provided with LED lighting along the flat surface of each of the slats, visible when deployed. 3. Emergency signaling triangle according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the U-shaped profile base that contains the two folded slats and acts as the base of the triangle in its deployed position, is provided at one end of its part Lower exterior of white LED lights with high brightness. 4. Emergency signaling triangle according to the preceding claims, characterized in that the U-shaped profile that contains the folded slats and acts as the base of the triangle in its deployed position, is provided in its lower outer part with a magnet to fix the device to the roof or any metal part of the vehicle.
