Abstract
A progressive break light warning system for a motor vehicle includes a variable brightness brake light in which the brightness of the light increases and decreases with changes in voltage. An electrical circuit and pressure sensor senses the pressure applied to the brake pedal and increases the voltage output as the pressure is increased. The system also flashes the brake lights on and off when the pressure on the brake pedal exceeds a pre-selected level.
Claims1
A progressive brake light warning system for a motor vehicle comprising:
- a variable brightness brake light in which the brightness of said light increases and with changes in voltage;
- electrical circuit means and a pressure sensor for sensing the pressure applied to a brake pedal and increasing the voltage output of said electrical circuit means as the pressure increases and decreasing the voltage output as the pressure is decreased;
- means for connecting the voltage output to the brake lamp;
- means for flashing the brake light on and off when the pressure on the brake pedal exceeds a preselected level;
- means for sensing forward movement of the auto;
- and
- means for maintaining the flashing of the brake light until the vehicle resumes forward movement.
