VEHICLE UPSET WARNING DEVICE

摘要

FORM 22 A Vehicle Upset Warning Device, whose electricity conductive components cause a horn to sound and/or light to glow when vehicle is at a dangerous tilt for a predetermined length of time. The device switch connected to a regulated positive electrical source, is a ball jointed conducting pendulum that strikes the flat sides of one of four, curved (curved on the edge), conducting strips. The arc and length of the flat, curved strips are dependant on the length of the pendulum, and the angle from vertical of the adjacent strips. Two curved strips of like size are placed parallel to the longitudinal vehicle axis and at an angle from vertical, less than that required to laterally upset the vehicle. The remaining two curved strips are placed perpendicular to the longitudinal vehicle axis and at an angle from ver-tical less than the angle required to upset the vehicle longitudinally. The four conducting curved strips are connected to a short time delay relay which is con-nected to a horn and/or warning light. The system, except for the horn and/or warning light, is enclosed.
