Abstract

An alarm system for indicating vehicle running state comprises a main frame enclosed with a housing installed in a proper location of the vehicle body, and an accommodation space is formed between the main frame and its housing. A red, green and yellow light sources are installed on the main frame in the accommodation space. When the brake system is actuated, the red light source turns on. When the accelerator system is actuated the green light source turns on. In both brake system and accelerator system are not actuated, yellow light source turns on. With such variation of the light colors, the driver of the following rear vehicle may identify the instant driving condition of the preceding vehicle.

Claims

1. An alarm system for indicating vehicle running state connected to vehicle accelerator system, brake system and control system comprising:

a main frame;

a housing enclosing said man frame;

an accommodation space formed between said main frame and said housing;

a first light source installed on said main frame in said accommodation space and being electrically connected to said brake system;

a second light source installed on said main frame in said accommodation space and being directly connected to said control system; and

a third light source installed on said main frame in said accommodation space and being electrically connected to said accelerator system.

2. The alarm system of claim 1, wherein said first light source is a red color light source and is connected to said brake system.

3. The alarm system of claim 2, wherein said red color light source includes a red LED (light emitting diode).

4. The alarm system of claim 2, wherein said red color light source includes a plurality of red LEDs.

5. The alarm system of claim 1, wherein said second light source is a yellow color light source and is connected to said control system.

6. The alarm system of claim 5, wherein said yellow color light source includes a yellow LED.

7. The alarm system of claim 5, wherein said yellow color light source includes a plurality of yellow LEDs.

8. The alarm system of claim 1, wherein said third light source is a green color light source.

9. The alarm system of claim 8, wherein said green color light source includes a green LED.

10. The alarm system of claim 8, wherein said green color light source includes a plurality of green LEDs.

11. An alarm system for indicating vehicle running state connected to vehicle accelerator system, brake system and control system comprising;

a main frame;

a housing enclosing said main frame;

an accommodation space formed between said main frame and said housing;

a plurality of first light sources installed on said main frame in said accommodation space.

a second light source installed on said main frame in said accommodation space; and

a plurality of third light sources installed on said main frame in said accommodation space.

12. The alarm system of claim 11, wherein said first light source includes:

a first light group;

a second light group installed adjacent to said first light group; and

a third light group installed adjacent to said second light group.

13. The alarm system of claim 12, wherein said first, second and third light groups are vertically disposed in order.

14. The alarm system of claim 12, wherein said first, second and third light groups are horizontally disposed in order.

15. The alarm system of claim 12, wherein said first, second and third light groups are coaxially disposed.

16. The alarm system of claim 11, wherein said third light source includes:

a fourth light group;

a fifth light group installed adjacent to said fourth light group; and

a sixth light group installed adjacent to said fifth light group.

17. The alarm system of claim 16, wherein said fourth, fifth and sixth, light groups are vertically disposed in order.

18. The alarm system of claim 16, wherein said fourth, fifth and sixth light groups are horizontally disposed in order.

19. The alarm system of claim 16, wherein said fourth, fifth and sixth light groups are coaxially disposed.

20. The alarm system of claim 11, wherein said second light source includes a yellow LED.
