Abstract
Signal light having first and second identical electrical cells, each having the necessary capacity to last for a standard operating cycle. The cells are electrically connected by means of a bistable switch to an electronic control circuit in stable alternative and nonalternating fashion until they are individually depleted. The electronic control circuit has one output connected to one corresponding signal light and another two outputs connected to individual light indicators which are light emitting diodes respectively assigned to the first and second electrical cells and activated by the electronic control circuit when the latter detects a depletion of the electrical energy of same.
Claims6
Signal light for railroad cars to visually signal the end of trains, characterized in that it comprises two electrical cells, a first (1) and a second (2), identical to each other and with the individual capacity necessary to function during a standard operating cycle, which by means of a bistable switch (3) are electrically connected to an electronic control circuit (4) in a stable alternative and not alternating manner until they are individually used up, which electronic control circuit (4) has one output connected to a corresponding signal light (5) and another two outputs connected to respective light indicators, a first (6) and a second (7) one, which are light emitting diodes (LED) that are respectively assigned to said first (1) and second (2) electrical cells and that are activated by said electronic control circuit (4) when said electronic control circuit detects a depletion of the electrical energy of said cells.
Signal light for highway signal elements, characterized in that an independent electrical power supply unit comprises first and second electrical cells, a bistable switch (3), an electronic control circuit (4), and first (6) and second (7) light indicators, and wherein a signal light (5) is installed in a source (10) which is contained in said highway signal elements that are comprised of said source (10) proper and a box or body (14) in which said independent electrical power supply unit (9) is incorporated.
