DISPOSITIVO DE PUESTA EN MARCHA DE INDICADORES INTERMITENTES ENSTARTING DEVICE OF INTERMITTENT INDICATORS IN

VEHÍCULOS AUTOMÓVILESAUTOMOBILE VEHICLES

OBJETO DE LA INVENCIÓN La presente invención, según se expresa en el enunciado de esta memoria descriptiva se refiere a un dispositivo de puesta en marcha de indicadores intermitentes en vehículos automóviles, el cual ha sido concebido y realizado en orden a obtener numerosas y notables ventajas respecto a otros medios existentes de análogas finalidades. El dispositivo está previsto para que el conductor de un vehículo automóvil no se vea obligado a separar las manos total o parcialmente del volante cada vez que necesite indicar una maniobra de cambio de dirección. Pues bien, el dispositivo de puesta en marcha está basado en un acople al volante, en el cual van incorporados dos pulsadores para activar la indicación izquierda-derecha. DESCRIPCIÓN DE LA INVENCIÓNOBJECT OF THE INVENTION The present invention, as expressed in the statement of this specification refers to a device for setting up intermittent indicators in motor vehicles, which has been conceived and carried out in order to obtain numerous and notable advantages over to other existing means of analogous purposes. The device is designed so that the driver of a motor vehicle is not forced to separate the hands totally or partially from the steering wheel whenever he needs to indicate a change of direction maneuver. Well, the start-up device is based on a steering wheel coupling, in which two buttons are incorporated to activate the left-right indication. DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
