Abstract

A motor vehicle warning signal light assembly is installed within a car and near a back window, which includes stop signal light, an invertedly disposed V-shaped signal light, a control switch, a leftward turn signal light, and a rightward turn signal light. The stop signal light is synchronously operated with the stop lights of the motor vehicle. The invertedly disposed V-shaped signal light and the stop signal light form a triangle signal light, which can be manually turned on by the control switch. The leftward turn signal light and the rightward turn signal light of the assembly are respectively operated with the leftward turn signal light and rightward turn signal light of the motor vehicle.

Claims

1. A motor vehicle warning signal light assembly mounted within a motor vehicle behind a rear window thereof, comprising:

an elongated stop signal light synchronously operated with stop lights of the motor vehicle;

an inverted V-shaped signal light disposed above said elongated stop signal light and forming with said elongated stop signal light a triangle signal light, the inverted V-shaped signal light being located in a fixed position relative to the elongated stop signal light;

a manual control switch electrically connecting said elongated stop signal light and said V-shaped signal light;

a leftward turn signal light disposed adjacent to a left side of said elongated stop signal light and synchronously operated with a leftward turn signal light of the motor vehicle; and

,

a rightward turn signal light disposed adjacent to a right side of said elongated stop signal light and synchronously operated with a rightward turn signal light of the motor vehicle.

2. The motor vehicle warning signal light assembly of claim 1 in which the stop signal light, the inverted V-shaped signal light, the leftward turn signal light and the rightward turn signal light are powered by a car battery of the motor vehicle.

3. The motor vehicle warning signa light assembly of claim 1 wherein said elongated stop signal light and said inverted V-shaped signal light are synchronously controlled by said manual control switch so as to be independent of operation of a brake pedal of the motor vehicle.

4. The motor vehicle warning signal light assembly of claim 1 wherein said stop signal light, said inverted V-shaped signal light, said leftward turn signal light and said rightward turn signal light are respectively formed of light emitting diodes.

5. The motor vehicle warning signal light assembly of claim 1 wherein said stop signal light, said inverted V-shaped signal light, said leftward turn signal light and said rightward turn signal light are respectively formed of electroluminescent lamps.

6. The motor vehicle warning signal light assembly of claim 1 wherein said stop signal light, said inverted V-shaped signal light, said leftward turn signal and said rightward turn signal light are respectively formed of luminescent devices.

7. The motor vehicle warning signal light assembly of claim 1 wherein said inverted V-shaped signal light is comprised of two elongated light emitting devices connected into an inverted V-shape.
