Abstract

Abstract An automatic coolant sprayer for the car interior comprises a container connected to the trunk compartment's top plate behind car's rear seat, a jet can loaded with speedy coolant, a starting gear to force jet can's valve into action, an PC board integrated with control circuit, a microswitch and a remote controller. Installed on the car's trunk compartment top plate, the inventive sprayer, by opening car door action that touches microswitch or receiving signal from remote controller, can conduct open the control circuit and start the motor of starting gear to operate, whereby a driving arm would be brought along to press the valve of jet can, thus spraying out the coolant toward the car's front and rear seats upper sides. In this way, the temperature of the interior of the car while parked outdoors in a hot summer day will be reduced speedily, to facilitate driver's next car use.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim 272 words
An automatic coolant sprayer for use in a car interior of a car having a trunk compartment, comprising: (a) a container having, at a bottom edge thereof, ears for enabling installation, a containing chamber for accommodating a jet can, and in an upper part thereof, a cone-shaped, appropriately up-slant degreed jet gate and a starting chamber; (b) a jet can having a top mounted valve connected to an arc-driven plate, said jet can being loaded with a mixture of coolant liquid and jet-actuating air; (c) a starting gear arranged on a starting chamber bottom floor of said container end having a motor with an output shaft connected with a main gear allowing start-up of a reducing gear set to deliver a reducing speed turning a follower having a connected driving arm to force said valve's driven plate to be pressed down, thereby spraying said coolant out of an orifice; (d) a PC board, having an IC time control circuit having a power source, a delay circuit and a shifter and having connection via a power lead to a micro-switch fixed behind the knob of a car door; the shifter commanding conduction between the circuit and micro-switch; the micro-switch leading conduction to the power source of the circuit, which via a delay circuit will start motor operation; the IC time control circuit controlling stoppage of the motor operation; (e) a heat insulating layer provided on bottom, peripheral and top walls of said containing chamber; wherein said sprayer is installed on a top plate of said trunk compartment behind a rear seat and wherein said sprayer is able to spray out the coolant automatically.

Claim 3
Dependent Claim 15 words
The automatic coolant sprayer of claim 1 wherein said container is of a square shape.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 16 words
The automatic coolant sprayer of claim 1 wherein said jet can is of a square shape.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 23 words
The automatic coolant sprayer of claim 1 wherein said sprayer is activated to automatically spray out the coolant by opening a car door.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 24 words
The automatic coolant sprayer of claim 1 wherein said sprayer is activated to automatically spray out the coolant by use of a remote controller.
