Abstract

Device for rapidly deicing the windows and windscreen of cars which use an electric hot air blower, characterised in that this movable and removable blower is fixed to the end of a flexible lead, the other end of which carries an end-fitting designed and sized to connect into the cigar lighter socket of the car.

Description

Dans les pays de climat rigoureux, il arrive très souvent, en hiver, que les automobilistes soient immobilisés pendant un temps assez long car pendant un arrêt prolonge, une couche de givre s'est fixee sur le pare-brise et les vitres laterales de la voiture, empêchant toute visibilite. In countries with harsh climates, it very often happens, in winter, that motorists are immobilized for quite a long time because during a prolonged stop, a layer of frost is fixed on the windshield and the side windows of the car, preventing any visibility.

Sans doute existe-t-il sur chaque voiture moderne une soufflerie de dégivrage du pare-brise mais, en règle générale, le rechauffement de l'air ainsi souffle est lie à la montee en temperature du moteur. De plus, aucune voiture ntest équipée de moyens de de givrage des vitres latérales dont la transparence est également indispensable à la sécurité de conduite. No doubt there is on each modern car a windshield defrost blower but, as a rule, the heating of the air thus blown is linked to the rise in temperature of the engine. In addition, no car is equipped with means for icing the side windows, the transparency of which is also essential for driving safety.

La présente invention a pour but de remédier aux inconvénients qui viennent d'être exposés et va permettre aux automobilistes de gagner un temps précieux grâce à un dispositif avec lequel, en quelques instants, on dégivrera aussi bien le pare-brise que les vitres latérales. The present invention aims to remedy the drawbacks which have just been exposed and will allow motorists to save precious time thanks to a device with which, in a few moments, the windshield will be defrosted as well as the side windows.

Elle se rapporte à une soufflerie électrique mobile et amovible qui comporte un moteur et une résistance alimenté s en courant par un cable souple. It relates to a mobile and removable electric wind tunnel which includes a motor and a resistor supplied with current by a flexible cable.

De telles souffleries sont de type connu et très largement utilisés notamment comme sèche-cheveux. Leur forme générale est celle d'un pistolet qui peut-être tenu facilement dans la main et dont le bec de soufflage est applati pour assurer un balayage de surface aussi grande que possible. Such blowers are of known type and very widely used in particular as a hair dryer. Their general shape is that of a pistol which can be easily held in the hand and whose blowing nozzle is flattened to ensure as large a surface sweep as possible.

La particularité de celle qui fait ''objet de l'invention tient au fait que a) Elle est alimentée par le courant basse tension de la batterie de la voiture. The particularity of the one which is the subject of the invention is that a) It is supplied by the low voltage current of the car battery.

b) L'embout de connexion est agencé et calibré pour pouvoir se brancher sur la prise de l'allume-cigare placé sur le tableau de bord de la voiture.b) The connection end piece is arranged and calibrated so that it can be plugged into the cigarette lighter socket on the dashboard of the car.

c) La longueur du câble souple est établie de manière à permettre, en le faisant passer par une portière ouverte, de procéder au dégivrage complet, aussi bien du pare-brise que des vitres latérales. c) The length of the flexible cable is established so as to allow, by passing it through an open door, to proceed to complete defrosting, both of the windshield and of the side windows.
