Emergency Vehicle Door Hazard Lights
US Patent:
6184786, Feb 6, 2001
Filed:
Jun 14, 1999
Appl. No.:
9/332375
Inventors:
Wayne Medeiros - Taunton MA
International Classification:
B60Q 122
US Classification:
340463
Abstract:
An unacceptable number of police, fire, ambulance and other emergency personnel are killed or injured when they pull over to the side of the road and exit their vehicle. These accidents occur when passing vehicles are not aware that an occupant is exiting the vehicle, and these passing vehicles travel too close to the stopped emergency vehicle. Inventions that automatically illuminate an open door call attention to emergency personnel responding to hostile situations involving gunfire, placing emergency personnel at risk. Safety features need to be easily disabled in order to protect the occupants as they exit an emergency vehicle in such hostile situations. This invention places blinking hazard lights in the doors of an emergency vehicle so that when any door is opened, the exposed rear facing surface of the door contains a hazard light that is selectively activated in order to blink in concert with the emergency lights on top of the emergency vehicle. When the overhead emergency lights are not activated, but the headlights are on, the door hazard light is illuminated without any blinking. The door hazard lights are disabled when the "kill" switch for the dome light in the vehicle is set to disable the dome light.
