Abstract
An accident prevention system for vehicles for stabilizing a vehicle when a tire loses pressure. The accident prevention system for vehicles includes a plurality of piston and cylinder actuators each positioned towards a unique tire of a vehicle. Lower ends of the piston and cylinder actuators are adapted for engaging a ground surface when the pistons are in an extended position. A plurality of sensors are each positioned towards a unique tire of the vehicle. Each of the sensors becomes activated when the associated tire goes flat. Each piston moves towards an extended position when the associated sensor is activated.
Claims9
A safety system for a vehicle, the system comprising, in combination:
- a plurality of piston and cylinder actuators each positioned towards a unique tire of a vehicle, lower ends of said piston and cylinder actuators being adapted for engaging a ground surface when said pistons are in an extended position;
- a plurality of sensors each positioned towards a unique tire of the vehicle and associated with the adjacent piston and cylinder actuator, each of the sensors becoming activated when the associated tire goes flat, each piston moving towards an extended position when the associated sensor is activated;
- and
- wherein said lower end of each of said piston and cylinder actuators has a socket and a ball rotatable received in said socket for rolling along a ground surface.
A safety system for a vehicle, the system comprising, in combination:
- a plurality of piston and cylinder actuators each positioned towards a unique tire of a vehicle;
- pistons of said piston and cylinder actuators being positionable between an extended position and a retracted position, lower ends of said piston and cylinder actuators being adapted for engaging a ground surface when said pistons are in said extended position;
- said lower end of each of said piston and cylinder actuators having a socket and a ball rotatably received in said socket for rolling along a ground surface;
- a pump for pumping hydraulic fluid;
- a piping system having a separator in fluid communication with said pump, a plurality of pairs of tubes extending between said piston and cylinder actuators and said separator, a plurality of solenoid valves for selectively permitting said hydraulic fluid to flow through one of the tubes of a particular pair of tubes for actuating the associated piston and cylinder actuator, and a fluid reservoir in fluid communication with said pump and said separator;
- a plurality of sensors each positioned towards a unique tire of a vehicle, each of the sensors producing a signal when the associated tire goes flat;
- a control panel having a controller in electrical communication with said solenoid valves and in communication with said sensors;
- wherein upon receipt of a signal from one of the sensors, the controller opens one of the solenoid valves to permit hydraulic fluid to flow to the piston and cylinder actuator adjacent the activated sensor permitting the hydraulic fluid to move the piston adjacent the tire into the extended position;
- said control panel having a pressure gauge for permitting monitoring of fluid pressure in said piping system, a power switch for turning said controller off and on, a plurality of indicator lights for indicating which solenoid valve is open, a plurality of valve reset buttons for selectively closing said solenoid valves, and a plurality of manual actuation buttons for manually opening said solenoid valves.
