Abstract The combination automotive warning device includes a fixture and a controlling means for controlling a deceleration indicating apparatus. The electric control means for controlling deceleration indicating apparatus comprises a bolt having a metal shaft connected by a suitable wire with a decelerator indicating lamp, an adjusting head, and a threaded shaft provided about the upper portions of the metal shaft, the threaded shaft being made of an electrically insulating material and being operable to replace an idler adjusting screw of a carburetor of a vehicle, the lamp having its remaining wire connected to a suitable source of electrical energy. The fixture comprises a fixture operable to be mounted on the rearwardmost end of a vehicle, the fixture including a base assembly having a base plate and walls operable to divide the base plate into regions, a lens portion fastened to the base assembly having a suitably colored lens for a region indicating backing-up of a vehicle, a suitably colored lens for a region indicating stopping and turning of a vehicle, and a suitably colored lens for a region indicating deceleration of a vehicle.
A combination automotive warning device comprising a fixture being mounted on the rearwardmost end of a vehicle, said fixture including a base assembly having a base plate and walls dividing said base plate into regions, a lens portion fastened to said base assembly having a first colored lens for a region indicating backing-up of said vehicle, a second colored lens for a region indicating stopping and turning of said vehicle, and a third colored lens for a region indicating deceleration of said vehicle; an electric control means for controlling said deceleration region, including a bolt having a metal shaft communicatingly connected by a suitable wire with a deceleration indicating lamp in said deceleration region, an adjusting head, and a threaded shaft provided about the upper portions of said metal shaft, said threaded shaft fabricated from an electrically insulating material and said threaded shaft being an idler adjusting screw of a carburetor of said vehicle, said lamp having its remaining wire connected to a suitable source of electrical energy; and electrical control means for selectively controlling lamps in said back-up and said stopping and turning regions.
