Automatic mobile luminous device
An automatic luminous device whose use does not require an external manual switch, which is substituted by another internal automatic switch, which activates the device only when it is placed on a sufficiently dense metal surface, nor does it require a connecting cable to an external power source, which is replaced by a preferably rechargeable battery. It was designed as an emergency light for police vehicles, and as a back-up light and is fitted with a base or casing ( 1 ) and a translucent shade ( 2 ), which, when coupled together, form a single body. Externally, the base of the casing ( 1 ) is fitted with two or more permanent magnets ( 3 ) in order to block the said casing ( 1 ), when it is placed on a sufficiently dense metal platform ( 4 ). Internally, the said casing ( 1 ) is fitted with an automatic trigger switch ( 5 ), which is solidly connected to a connector ( 6 ) by means of a flange ( 16 ) which is in turn solidly attached to a pin ( 7 ); the said connector ( 6 ) is in turn solidly attached by means of conventional wiring to a rechargeable battery ( 8 ), an external back-up connector ( 9 ), and the charge ( 10 ), perfectly insulated from the rest of the elements making up the device by means of any kind of separating element.
1. An automatic mobile luminous device, comprising:
a casing and a translucent screen joined together to form a single element;
at least one permanent anchoring magnet fitted with the casing that blocks and stabilises the casing when the casing is placed on a metal platform; and
an automatic activation switch fitted with the casing, which is solidly attached to a connector by means of a flange which is attached to a pin,
wherein the connector is attached, by means of wiring, to a rechargeable battery, to an external back-up connector, and to a charge, and insulated by means of a separating element,
wherein the automatic activation switch is fitted with a cylindrically shaped permanent magnet housed inside a cylindrical cavity, the cylindrically shaped permanent magnet is fitted with an axle which crosses the cylindrical cavity to form an integral element with a cylindrical cup,
wherein the cylindrically shaped permanent magnet, the axle, and the cylindrical cup form a single mobile unit,
wherein a coil spring is disposed between the cylindrical cup and a base of the cylindrical cavity, to keep the single mobile unit raised when the casing is not resting on the metal platform,
wherein the flange on a side of the cylindrical cup is solidly connected to the end of the pin that activates and deactivates the connector to produce activation of the charge when the casing is resting on the metal platform, the charge being powered by energy coming from the rechargeable battery placed inside the casing,
wherein movement of the cylindrically shaped permanent magnet, the axle, the cylindrical cup, and the flange is limited by stops arranged between facing superficies of the cylindrical cavity and the cylindrical cup, and
wherein the external connector is configured to power the charge and recharge the rechargeable battery by means of a back-up charger connected to an external power source, when the rechargeable battery lacks power.
2. The automatic mobile luminous device according to claim 1 , wherein the axle emerges vertically from its centre of gravity and crosses the cylindrical cavity through an undercut to become an integral part of a cylindrical cup.
3. The automatic mobile luminous device according to claim 1 , wherein the cylindrical cup, flange and stops are removable, and wherein movement of the cylindrically shaped permanent magnet is limited by contacting the cylindrically shaped permanent magnet with an upper limit of the cylindrical cavity.
4. The automatic mobile luminous device according to claim 1 , wherein the back-up charger is coupled by wiring between the external power source and the external connector driven into the casing.
5. The automatic mobile luminous device according to claim 1 , wherein that the charge comprises a fixed-light lamp, optionally combined or not with a rotor and reflective elements, or comprises a stroboscopic-type lamp.
6. The automatic mobile luminous device according to claim 1 , wherein that the connector is coupleable with the rechargeable battery, with the external back-up connector and with the charge, by means of a charging instrument connected by wire between an external power source and the external back-up connector, and wherein the charge is powered at the same time the battery is being recharged while the casing is resting on the metal platform, and wherein only the battery is recharged when the casing is not resting on a metal platform.
7. The automatic mobile luminous device according to claim 1 , further comprising suction pads, wherein the at least one permanent anchoring magnet is combinable with the suction pads such that the casing is laterally immobile on the metal platform.
8. An automatic mobile luminous device, comprising:
a casing and a translucent screen joined together to form a single element;
at least one permanent anchoring magnet fitted with the casing that blocks and stabilises the casing when the casing is placed on a metal platform; and
an automatic activation switch fitted with the casing which is attached to a connecting instrument,
wherein the connector is by means of wiring, to a rechargeable battery to an external back-up connector and to a charge, and insulated by means of separating element,
wherein the automatic activation switch is fitted with a cylindrically shaped permanent magnet housed inside a cylindrical cavity, the cylindrically shaped permanent magnet is fitted with an axle which crosses the cylindrical cavity to form an integral element with a cylindrical cup,
wherein the cylindrically shaped permanent magnet, the axle, and the cylindrical cup form a single mobile unit,
wherein a coil spring is disposed between the cylindrical cup and a base of the cylindrical cavity, to keep the single mobile unit raised when the casing is not resting on the metal platform,
wherein the connecting instrument produces activation of the charge when the casing is resting on the metal platform, the charge being powered by energy coming from the rechargeable battery placed inside the casing,
wherein movement of the cylindrically shaped permanent magnet, the axle, the cylindrical cup, and the flange is limited by stops arranged between facing superficies of the cylindrical cavity and the cylindrical cup, and
wherein the external connector is configured to power the charge and recharge the rechargeable battery by means of a back-up charger connected to an external power source, when the rechargeable battery lacks power.
