ABANDONED -- FAILURE TO RESPOND TO AN OFFICE ACTION. a bank of signaling lights located exterior to said compartment on a vehicle end; an electrically operated visual indicator having a protective light transparent lens with a U-turn icon thereon; said indicator being mounted exterior to the operator's compartment on the vehicle's end having the vehicle's bank of signaling lights, adjacent and in-line with said signaling lights; a control switch and circuitry for controlling the supply of electrical current to said visual indicator with a U-turn icon thereon, said switch being mounted in the vehicle's operator's compartment. Also, forming part of this particular light bank are the conventional flashing turn signal light/lens 9, the brake light 11 and the white back-up light 13. You can always madly honk the horn, but nobody would know who you're directing it towards. It would be best to be incorporated as part of the turning signal apparatus but can also be just a button such as the emergency flashers are.
2 is a rear perspective view of a light bulb being inserted behind the U-turn indicator of FIG. Modern automobiles have signal lights to alert motorists that the driver is intending to make a turn or is applying the brakes. For example, in U.S. Pat.
The “u-turn” signal would be a safety device that would be standard in all motorized vehicles as a normal safety feature such as windshield wipers, headlights, turning signals etc.
FIG. No.
The flashing light from the indicator is independently controlled from within the vehicle by a switch located either on the dashboard or its steering column. The hydraulics holding the multiple component mold cavity together are released, the mold halves are separated and the solid formed plastic item is removed. Injection molding is a plastic molding process whereby heat softened plastic material is forced under very high pressure into a metal cavity mold, usually aluminum or steel, which is relatively cool. 1. It is the primary object of the present invention to provide for an improved U-turn signaling system for a vehicle. These and other objects and advantages of the present invention will become apparent to readers from a consideration of the ensuing description and the accompanying drawings. Extending from holder 19 and two electrically conducting wires 29 which form part of the electric circuit schematically shown in FIG. 3.
High pressure hydraulics are used to keep the mold components together during the actual injection phase of the molding process. Many of the primary components of the U-turn signal, such as the indicator 3 and its icon 5 and lens 7; and the lamp base plate 27, could be manufactured sing the plastic injection molding process. The lamp bulbs used are conventional turn signal bulbs currently used in automobiles or other motor driven trucks or vehicles. 3 is a schematic circuit diagram of the invention's preferred embodiment. When switch 31 is actuated by the operator to position A (it has three possible positions), a circuit is completed through the bimetallic contacts 33. The invention as claimed in claim 1, wherein said vehicle has a rear bank of signaling lights with a signal indicator, said visual indicator of a U-turn being adjacent to said rear bank's signal indicator. 2. Alternately, both the front and rear U-turn indicators could flash at the same or approximately the same time to alert operators to the front and rear of the driver's intention to make a U-turn. U-turn signaling device for vehicles is disclosed, which includes an LED array, and an integrated circuit control circuit which is produces LED activation control signals. FIG.
