Abstract
A vehicle safety assembly includes a housing that may be positioned within a vehicle. A control circuit is positioned within the housing and a display is coupled to the housing. A plurality of remote units is provided and each of the remote units may be distributed around four sides of the vehicle. Thus, each of the remote units detects wind. Each of the remote units is in communication with the display. The display displays an alert when a detected wind speed exceeds the trigger wind speed thereby alerting a driver of the vehicle to the detected wind.
Claims8
A vehicle safety assembly configured to issue an alert when a vehicle is exposed to high winds, said assembly comprising:
- a housing being configured to be positioned within a vehicle;
- a control circuit being positioned within said housing;
- a display being coupled to said housing;
- a plurality of remote units, said remote units being configured to be distributed around four sides of the vehicle wherein each of said remote units detect wind, each of said remote units being in communication with said display, said display displaying an alert when a detected wind speed exceeds said trigger wind speed thereby alerting a driver of the vehicle to the detected wind, wherein each of said remote units comprises a base having a top side and a bottom side and a dome being coupled to said top side, said dome being comprised of a rigid and air permeable material;
- and
- a plurality of wind sensors, each of said wind sensors being attached to an associated one of said remote units wherein each of said wind sensors is configured to detect a direction and a speed of wind, each of said wind sensors being positioned beneath said dome on said associated remote unit.
(canceled)
A vehicle safety assembly configured to issue an alert when a vehicle is exposed to high winds, said assembly comprising:
- a housing being configured to be positioned within a vehicle, said housing having a front side;
- a control circuit being positioned within said housing, said control circuit being configured to be electrically coupled to the vehicle, said control circuit including an electronic memory, said electronic memory containing a pre-determined trigger wind speed;
- a display being coupled to said housing, said display being positioned on said front side, said display being electrically coupled to said control circuit, said display displaying indicia, said indicia comprising an image of a vehicle and a plurality of arrows, each of said arrows pointing toward an associated one of four sides of the image of the vehicle;
- a plurality of remote units, said remote units being configured to be distributed around four sides of the vehicle wherein each of said remote units detect wind, each of said remote units being in communication with said display, said display displaying an alert when a detected wind speed exceeds said trigger wind speed thereby alerting a driver of the vehicle to the detected wind, each of said remote units comprising:
- a base having a top side and a bottom side and a dome being coupled to said top side, said dome being comprised of a rigid and air permeable material, said bottom side of each of said remote units having an adhesive layer attached thereto, said adhesive layer being configured to adhesively engage an outside surface of the vehicle such that said remote units are retained on the vehicle, said remote units being configured to be distributed around four sides of the vehicle, and
- a plurality of wind sensors, each of said wind sensors being attached to an associated one of said remote units wherein each of said wind sensors is configured to detect a direction and a speed of wind, each of said wind sensors being positioned beneath said dome on said associated remote unit, each of said wind sensors being electrically coupled to said control circuit, said display displaying an alert when a detected wind speed exceeds said trigger wind speed, said alert comprising one of said arrows on said display being illuminated corresponding to a direction of the detected wind with respect to the vehicle.
