Abstract

The multifunctional housing with a luminous signaling triangle arises with the main purpose of improving the visibility on the roads of the element in charge of indicating mishaps to other drivers. The signaling triangle inside is made up of LED lights, laser or micro bulbs that will also be able to illuminate in situations of snow, fog or heavy rain, where visibility is reduced. Both the power system and the wiring part of the luminaires will be protected by a cover to prevent damage to the interior. All this will be kept folded in the multifunctional housing, which includes two 90º springs to keep the triangle vertical when it is deployed. The multifunctional casing is equipped with two counterweights to maintain stability against drafts or other agents that can destabilize it, in addition to 6 reliefs to form the support on the ground. The multifunctional housing with a luminous signal triangle has two variants: a basic one with elementary components, and a high-end variant that adds a rechargeable lithium battery and hydraulic lifters to improve its opening and closing.

Description

DESCRIPTION

Multifunctional housing with illuminated warning triangle

Technical sector

It is known that, in many cases of breakdowns on the road, due to weather factors such as fog or snow, it is difficult to visualize the signaling triangles that are placed on the road.

The present model solves this problem of difficulty in viewing the object, by installing in the triangle a system of laser, LED or micro light bulbs in red and yellow colors, which fulfill the required function with the purpose, in turn, of increase safety on the roads, which will avoid accidents and possible mishaps.

The use of this invention will be optimized by being placed in a multifunctional housing, which will be opened by means of a spring system, and will be easily closed and stowed by means of a safety lock.

The multifunctional housing with a luminous signaling triangle presented has been conceived to solve the problems explained above, emphasizing its efficiency as well as its simplicity of use.

This casing will be made of PVC, with a triangular shape; and will incorporate a triangle of luminous signaling in red and yellow colors, equipped with a red and yellow reflector, housed in its interior cavity, which will unfold when the housing is opened, keeping it firm in a vertical position thanks to two 90 ° springs that join the triangle and tapas. The opening system is fast and efficient, thanks to these springs. In turn, it will be equipped with a safety lock with a rope that will facilitate its transport in the closed position.

The light triangle inside will be equipped with an outer band made of a perforated red retro-reflector material and laser lights, red LED light or micro bulbs, and an inner band made of yellow retro-reflector material, also with laser lights. , LED light or yellow micro bulbs. This will allow your visibility on foggy, rainy or snowy days to be adequate. This lighting system will be activated thanks to a switch located in the triangle that will be activated automatically when the housing is opened.

The power supply of the triangle light system will consist of a group of batteries, rechargeable or not. These batteries will be housed inside the triangle in a compact way, and will be protected by a rain cover with IP65 protection.

To provide the multifunctional casing with a light triangle of stability, it will be equipped with two counterweights that can be made of metal, sand or resin, housed in its cavity already attached to both covers. In turn, the entire structure is located on 6 reliefs located on the rear faces of the housings, serving as support against the ground. This will help to maintain the position and stability of the unfolded triangle in case of wind, avoiding its wobbling or overturning, verified at a speed of 22 meters per second.

In conclusion, the purpose of the triangle described is to improve the method of warning other drivers on the road, whatever the situation, since it is designed for this, considering numerous factors such as its ease of use and effectiveness in signaling, for decrease in accidents and collisions caused on the road due to the poor visibility that may arise in certain situations.
