Mechanical implementation of unambiguous automotive brake signal lights

A method for effecting red colored light at the rear of an automotive vehicle as an unambiguous signal of braking, including the following electrical components:

• a source of electrical energy;
• manually actuated left and right turn signal selector switches;
• a turn signal flasher device for automatically opening and closing electric circuits between said source of electrical energy and said turn signal selector switches;
• a manually actuated tail light switch;
• manually actuated brake actuation means;
• a brake light switch actuated by actuation of said brake actuation means;
• lamps illuminated by the flow of energizing electric current to effect the tail lights of said vehicle;
• lamps illuminated by the flow of energizing electric current to effect the rear turn signal lights of said vehicle;
• lamps illuminated by the flow of energizing electric current to effect the brake signal lights of said vehicle;
• and
• electrical conductor means whereby said components are interconnected;
• said method comprising:
• mechanical means to reversibly alter the path traversed by light emanating from all said illuminated lamps, said light being subsequently transmitted from the rear of said vehicle, said path alteration causing, in the case that said brake actuation means is not actuated, said light to be transmitted through material containing a non-red colored pigment, said pigment causing said light to be further transmitted as non-red colored light, and said alteration further causing, in the case that said brake actuation means is actuated, said light to be transmitted through material containing a red colored pigment, said pigment causing said light to be further transmitted as red colored light.
