Abstract
An emergency lights assembly for emergency vehicles provided with an air conditioning unit is aerodynamically shaped, surrounds at least a portion of an air conditioning unit, and includes a front fresh air inlet and a top air outlet allowing the assembly to be mounted directly in contact with the cab of an emergency vehicle.
Claims14
An emergency lights assembly for an emergency vehicle, that is provided with an air conditioning (AC) unit, the assembly comprising:
- an aerodynamic casing defined by a central portion and two side portions, each extending on a respective lateral side of the central portion;
- the casing being both i) mechanically uncoupled from the AC unit, and ii) shaped to define a volume adjacent the central portion, between the two side portions, for receiving in the volume at least part of the AC unit;
- two lens assemblies, defined by translucid walls of the casing, each of the two lens assemblies extending along at least part of a respective one of the two side portions and along at least part of the central portion;
- two lodgings in the casing, each adjacent a respective one of the two lens assemblies and defining an emergency light-receiving compartment;
- an opening in the central portion of the casing that is in fluid communication with the volume;
- whereby, the opening in the central portion defining an air inlet for the AC unit when the casing is mounted to the emergency vehicle so that the AC unit is positioned at least partly in the volume.
An emergency lights assembly for an emergency vehicle, that is provided with an air conditioning (AC) unit, having driver and emergency compartments, the assembly comprising:
- an aerodynamic casing that includes a body for mounting to the driver compartment and a cover removably mounted to the body;
- the aerodynamic casing being tapered from a back side of the emergency compartment to a front side thereof and being defined by a central portion and two side portions, each extending on a respective lateral side of the central portion;
- the casing being shaped to define a volume adjacent the central portion, between the two side portions, for receiving in the volume at least part of the AC unit;
- two lens assemblies, defined by translucid walls of the casing, each of the two lens assemblies extending along at least part of a respective one of the two side portions and along at least part of the central portion;
- two lodgings in the casing, each adjacent a respective one of the two lens assemblies and defining an emergency light-receiving compartment;
- an opening in the central portion of the casing that is in fluid communication with the volume;
- whereby, the opening in the central portion defining an air inlet for the AC unit when the casing is mounted to the emergency vehicle so that the AC unit is positioned at least partly in the volume.
An emergency lights assembly including an aerodynamically shaped casing for receiving emergency lights therein and surrounding at least a portion of an air conditioning unit;
- the body includes a generally front facing fresh air inlet and a top facing air outlet.
