Vehicular distress alert system

Claim 1

A vehicular distress alert system for alerting those in the vicinity of a vehicle that the personal safety of an occupant within the vehicle is being threatened comprising, in combination: an isolation diode bank formed of a first diode, a second diode, a third diode, a fourth diode, and a fifth diode, each diode having an anode terminal and a cathode terminal with the cathode terminal of the first diode adapted to be coupled to an anode terminal of a vehicle's left parking light, the cathode terminal of the second diode adapted to be coupled to an anode terminal of a vehicle's right parking light, the cathode terminal of the third diode adapted to be coupled to an anode terminal of a vehicle's left rear braking light, and the cathode of the fifth diode adapted to be coupled to an anode terminal of a vehicle's horn system; an electrically-energizable security relay coil having a cathode terminal and an anode terminal with the cathode terminal adapted to be coupled to a negative terminal of a vehicle's battery; a security flasher having an anode terminal coupled to the anode terminal of the security relay coil and a cathode terminal coupled to the anode terminals of the diodes and with the security flasher generating and transmitting a pulsating alert signal through the diodes when electrically energized with the alert signal alternately activating and de-activating the vehicle's parking lights, braking lights and horn; a security relay having a first terminal, a second terminal, and a third terminal and with the second terminal adapted to be coupled to an anode terminal of a vehicle's dome lights and the third terminal coupled to the anode terminals of the diodes, the security relay having a disengaged mode when the security relay coil is electrically de-energized for connecting the first terminal with the second terminal and further having an engaged mode when the security coil is electrically energized for connecting the second terminal with the third terminal; and a single manual activation switch located in the proximity of a dash of the vehicle and having a first pole and a second pole with the first pole formed of a first terminal and a second terminal and a third terminal and with the second pole formed of a fourth terminal and a fifth terminal and a sixth terminal, the first terminal adapted to be coupled to a positive terminal of a vehicle's battery, the second terminal coupled to the first terminal of the security relay, the third terminal coupled to the anode terminal of the security relay coil, the fourth terminal adapted to be coupled to a vehicle's dome lights, the fifth terminal being unused, and the sixth terminal adapted to be coupled to a negative terminal of a vehicle's battery, the manual activation switch having a disabled orientation with the first terminal and second terminal of the first pole coupled together and the fourth terminal and fifth terminal of the second pole coupled together, the manual activation switch further having an enabled orientation upon the manual activation thereof by the occupant with the first terminal and the third terminal of the first pole coupled together and the fourth terminal and the sixth terminal of the second pole coupled together for placing the security relay in an engaged mode and allowing the immediate generation and transmission of the alert signal for alternately activating and de-activating the vehicle's parking lights, braking lights, dome lights and horn, thus transmitting visual and audible distress alert indications.
