Abstract

The device has an umbrella (1) with an opening system (6) that cooperates with a switch (5) so that opening of the umbrella by a user causes lighting of a set of LED type lamps (2), and a rechargeable battery or cell type electric supply source (4). A modulator unit permits a user to modulate light emitted by the set of lamps, by varying the light intensity, by flashing the set of lamps according to different frequencies.

Description

DISPOSITIF PORTATIF DE SIGNALISATIONPORTABLE SIGNALING DEVICE

Problème abordé Le problème technique vécu par le déposant et résolu par la présente invention est celui du danger encouru par les piétons lorsqu'ils sont amenés à traverser une voie empruntée 5 par des véhicules, notamment des véhicules automobiles.  Problem addressed The technical problem experienced by the applicant and solved by the present invention is that of the danger incurred by pedestrians when they have to cross a path taken by vehicles, especially motor vehicles.

Le danger encouru par ces piétons augmente à mesure que la visibilité des conducteurs de véhicules se trouve altérée à cause de mauvaises conditions météorologiques (pluie, neige, vent) et/ou simplement parce qu'il fait nuit. Dans de pareilles 10 conditions, les risques de collision sont importants, spécialement lorsque les piétons traversent une voie de circulation. De très nombreux accidents sont ainsi simplement dus au fait que les conducteurs de véhicules n'ont pas vu les piétons sur la chaussée.  The danger posed by these pedestrians increases as the visibility of the drivers of vehicles is impaired due to bad weather conditions (rain, snow, wind) and / or simply because it is dark. In such conditions, the risk of collision is high, especially when pedestrians cross a traffic lane. Very many accidents are thus simply due to the fact that the drivers of vehicles did not see the pedestrians on the roadway.

Les piétons souhaiteraient donc pouvoir disposer d'un moyen efficace leur permettant de signaler leur présence de manière active auprès des conducteurs de véhicules, tout spécialement lors de moments critiques comme par exemple lorsqu'ils traversent une voie de circulation faiblement 20 éclairée par temps de pluie.  Pedestrians would therefore like to have an effective means of signaling their presence in an active manner to vehicle drivers, especially at critical moments such as for example when crossing a lightened lane in rainy weather. .

Solution selon l'invention La solution selon l'invention, représentée sur la figure 1, concerne un dispositif portatif de signalisation destiné à permettre à un utilisateur de signaler sa présence de manière active auprès du conducteur d'un véhicule, notamment lorsqu'il fait nuit et qu le conducteur risque de ne pas remarquer la présence de l'utilisateur. Le dispositif est caractérisé en ce qu'il comprend: - un parapluie 1 comprenant un système d'ouverture 6, notamment un système coulissant sur un manche permettant de 10 déplier les baleines et la toile du parapluie 1, - un ensemble de lampes 2 associées au parapluie 1, notamment de type LED et associées aux baleines dudit parapluie 1 et/ou à l'une des extrémités dudit parapluie 1 (au sommet du manche dudit parapluie 1 ou encore aux extrémités des baleines dudit parapluie 1), - un circuit d'alimentation électrique 3 destiné à alimenter l'ensemble de lampes 2, une source d'alimentation électrique 4, notamment de type piles ou batterie rechargeable, - un interrupteur 5 permettant à l'utilisateur d'allumer et d'éteindre l'ensemble de lampes 2.  Solution according to the invention The solution according to the invention, represented in FIG. 1, relates to a portable signaling device intended to enable a user to signal his presence actively to the driver of a vehicle, especially when he is night and the driver may not notice the presence of the user. The device is characterized in that it comprises: - an umbrella 1 comprising an opening system 6, in particular a sliding system on a handle for unfolding the whales and umbrella fabric 1, - a set of associated lamps 2 to the umbrella 1, in particular of the LED type and associated with the whales of said umbrella 1 and / or at one of the ends of said umbrella 1 (at the top of the handle of said umbrella 1 or at the ends of the whales of said umbrella 1), power supply 3 for supplying the set of lamps 2, a power source 4, in particular batteries or rechargeable battery type, - a switch 5 allowing the user to turn on and off the set of lamps 2.

Les éléments ci-dessus énumérés ont un caractère étanche afin de résister principalement à l'eau et de pouvoir ainsi garantir la robustesse du dispositif lorsqu'on l'utilise sous la pluie.  The elements listed above are watertight in order to withstand water mainly and thus to guarantee the robustness of the device when it is used in the rain.

En allumant l'ensemble de lampes 2 du parapluie 1, l'utilisateur signale ainsi sa présence de manière active aux automobilistes susceptibles, en temps normal, de ne pas le voir. L'utilisateur qui tient le dispositif portatif à la main est donc clairement visible par les automobilistes et se protège en outre de la pluie.  By switching on the set of lamps 2 of the umbrella 1, the user thus signals his presence actively to motorists likely, in normal times, not to see him. The user who holds the handheld device by hand is clearly visible to motorists and protects himself from the rain.

De préférence selon l'invention, la source d'alimentation électrique 5 est constituée par une batterie rechargeable sur secteur.  Preferably according to the invention, the power supply 5 is constituted by a rechargeable battery sector.

2870972 3 De préférence selon l'invention, le dispositif portatif de signalisation est caractérisé en ce que le système d'ouverture 6 du parapluie coopère avec l'interrupteur 5 de sorte que l'ouverture du parapluie 1 par l'utilisateur provoque l'allumage de l'ensemble de lampes 2. L'utilisateur n'a ainsi qu'une opération à effectuer pour se trouver à la fois abrité de la pluie et signalé de manière active et efficace.  According to the invention, the portable signaling device is characterized in that the opening system 6 of the umbrella cooperates with the switch 5 so that the opening of the umbrella 1 by the user causes the ignition The user has only one operation to perform to be both sheltered from the rain and reported in an active and effective manner.

De préférence selon l'invention, le dispositif portatif de signalisation est caractérisé en ce qu'il comprend en outre un élément modulateur associé au circuit d'alimentation électrique 3 et à l'interrupteur 5. L'élément modulateur permet à l'utilisateur de moduler la lumière émise par l'ensemble de lampes 2, notamment en faisant varier l'intensité lumineuse, en faisant clignoter l'ensemble de lampes 2 selon différentes fréquences. L'élément modulateur permet ainsi à la fois d'adapter le type et l'intensité de la lumière émise au contexte de l'utilisateur et d'optimiser la longévité de l'alimentation électrique 4.  Preferably according to the invention, the portable signaling device is characterized in that it further comprises a modulator element associated with the power supply circuit 3 and the switch 5. The modulator element allows the user to modulate the light emitted by the set of lamps 2, in particular by varying the light intensity, by flashing the set of lamps 2 at different frequencies. The modulator element thus makes it possible both to adapt the type and intensity of the light emitted to the context of the user and to optimize the longevity of the power supply 4.
