Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
166 words
A releasing device for an automatic fixed speed driving system for a motor vehicle having a stop lamp circuit including a power source, a stop lamp switch, a stop lamp fuse provided between one terminal of said stop lamp switch and said power source and a stop lamp coupled to the other terminal of said switch, said system comprising: a first releasing signal detection means for supplying a releasing signal to a releasing signal input of the automatic fixed speed driving system when the stop lamp fuse is in a normal condition in response to the on action of a stop lamp switch accompanied by the manipulation of a motor vehicle brake; and a second releasing signal detection means for supplying a releasing signal to a releasing signal input of the automatic fixed speed detection system when the stop lamp fuse is in an abnormal condition in response to the on action of the stop lamp switch accompanied by the manipulation of the motor vehicle brake.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
166 words
A releasing device for an automatic fixed speed driving system for a motor vehicle having a stop lamp circuit including a power source, a stop lamp switch, a stop lamp fuse provided between one terminal of said stop lamp switch and said power source and a stop lamp coupled to the other terminal of said switch, said system comprising: a first releasing signal detection means for supplying a releasing signal to a releasing signal input of the automatic fixed speed driving system when the stop lamp fuse is in a normal condition in response to the on action of a stop lamp switch accompanied by the manipulation of a motor vehicle brake; and a second releasing signal detection means for supplying a releasing signal to a releasing signal input of the automatic fixed speed detection system when the stop lamp fuse is in an abnormal condition in response to the on action of the stop lamp switch accompanied by the manipulation of the motor vehicle brake.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
45 words
