Switching device, by means of which brake lights of vehicles, in particular supplementary brake lights, can be actuated when the vehicle decelerates

摘要

The invention relates to a switching device, by means of which brake lights of vehicles, in particular supplementary brake lights, can be actuated in the case of a predetermined deceleration of the vehicle. It consists of a tube-like cylinder (2) whose central axis (3) is aligned parallel to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle and in which a weight can be brought to rest counter to a spring (4) arranged in the direction of travel in such a way that, in the case of a predetermined deceleration of the vehicle, the spring is compressed to the extent that the weight moves into the area of action of a switching element (5), by means of which the brake lights or supplementary brake lights can be actuated. Preferably, a sphere (6) is used as the weight. <IMAGE>
