DESC:FIELD OF INVENTION:

The present invention relates generally to vehicular light systems and more specifically to an anti glare light system for vehicles and a method of using thereof.

BACKGROUND:

Clear sight is imperative for safe driving, since almost 90 percent of our reaction ability while driving relies on it. Glare is the undesirable reflection of light from a surface upon which the light is incident. Unfortunately, the ability to see clearly decreases at night. One of the top issues associated with night driving is glare from headlights and traffic lights. Nighttime glare occurs as a result of both bright and dim lights. Conversely, vision can become impaired due to a reduction in the contrast of images brought on by dim lighting. Trying to see something in the presence of a light that's too bright can cause the eyes to squint and become teary. Glare is a light source that doesn't help you see better, but instead interferes with your vision.

Drivers of automotive vehicles, including, e.g., passenger cars, vans, buses and trucks, depend on mirrors for visual information of the road and surrounding area. This information is vital to the safety of the driver and any passengers transported in the vehicle. Often bright light from, for example, another vehicle's headlights or sunlight is reflected into the mirror causing glare and a reduction in the visual acuity of the driver. Therefore, the potential safety of the driver and passengers will be at risk

Thus driving of vehicles is a challenging task and it becomes more so when driving at night as more intensity lights from opposite or rear side vehicles can produce dazzling effects on the eyes of the driver often leading to accidents.

To overcome these problems, efforts have been made to combat those challenges through providing various anti glare means which may include window or mirrors of vehicles coated with anti glare coatings, anti-glare coating applied to prescription sunglasses or eye lenses to reduce the glare effect of light from eyes of drivers for safe driving.

Despite the many advantages, anti-glare coating has the disadvantage of adding cost. Unfortunately, it is an add-on option consumers do not feel the additional cost is worth the benefits gained. Also, the quality of lens material, the shape of the lens and other available applied coatings, all influence the degree of glare present in one's eyeglasses. Again this is an individual application every person driving has to buy the glasses and apply the coating.

US 5,373,392 by Aotec Inc discloses a variable reflectivity mirror which comprises a mirror with reflective film deposited at one side thereof and a photochromic coating on the other side. An ultraviolet light source illuminates the photochromic material to change the reflectance of the mirror; the reflectance can be automatically controlled whereby the intensity of the light source is controlled by a photodetector which varies the voltage driving the light source in response to detected light.

US 5,768,020 by Murakami Corp discloses an automatic anti-glare to an anti-glare rearview mirror system capable of varying an ambient light level to operate an enforced DAY generation circuit by information other than an photo-sensor.

DE 100 12 749 A1 discloses an anti-glare control device that drives and controls the anti-glare effect depending on the illumination of the face of the vehicle occupant.

JP 4473937 B2 by Robert Bosch GMBH discloses an anti dazzle system for a vehicle, having an improved anti dazzle effect wherein the anti-glare means is configured to act as a notch filter when masking a part of region of the visual light spectrum.

IN 273707 [2474/CHE/2008] by IK Ukkru Varunny discloses an adjustable glare visor for night driving, incorporating a pair of linearly polarizing filters, to be fixed on the right side of the windscreen of the motor vehicle, in front of the driver.
IN 20171011814 by IIT Bombay and Titan Company limited discloses an anti- glare, hydrophobic, scratch resistant and anti-fog coating.

IN 201911011619 of HCL Technologies Limited discloses a system and method for glare reduction; the method comprises obtaining a first video stream, a dimension of a Liquid crystal display (LCD) and a location of the LCD and identifying a set of lights from of the first video stream using a machine learning based image processing methodology and generating an instruction for decreasing a transparency of one or more pixels in the LCD based on the location and the boundary, thereby by reducing glare.

However it is seen that either the anti glare light system disclosed in prior arts mentioned above faced one or more limitations or were inefficient in producing desired anti glare effect or were costlier making it non-user friendly or expensive enough to become non-affordable by common men.

Therefore, there needs to be an anti glare light system for vehicles which will help to overcome one or more problems associated with prior arts.

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION:

Therefore, the principal object of the present invention is to provide an improved anti glare light system for vehicles which can help to solve the problem of glare that can interfere with the vision of the driver to avoid accidents.

Another object of the present invention is to provide an anti glare light system for vehicles comprising photochromic sensors which can sense the intensity of light coming from the opposite side vehicles and accordingly control the dimming and brightening of connected light to clear the glare from the eyes of the driver.

Still another object of the present invention is to provide an anti glare light system for vehicles which shrinks the pupils of the eyes of the driver, which have dilated due to the darkness, enough to reduce the glare of the light, still allowing complete vision.

Ultimate object of the present invention is to provide an anti glare light system for vehicles which can help to improve overall operational efficiency of vehicles.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION:

The present invention provides an anti-glare light system for vehicles which comprises a photochromic sensor, LED diffusers, protection lens along with circuit, transparent and black acrylic, male-female socket, cigarette lighter 12V socket, Velcro and wire. After making the connection, the light is mounted on the car sun visor with the help of a Velcro. Depending on the intensity of light coming from the opposite vehicle, due to the presence of a photochromic sensor, the light fitted on the sun visor dims or brightens, thereby relaxing the eyes due to which the risk due to glare is reduced. The vision is upto 90% clear due to which the safety of the driver and the vehicle increases.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION:

The nature of the invention and the manner in which it is performed is clearly described in the specification. The invention has various components and they are clearly described in the following pages of the complete specification.

Night vision is the ability to see well in low-light conditions. As we age, we have greater difficulty seeing at night. Night driving is dangerous because, even with high-beam headlights on, visibility is limited to about 500 feet (250 feet for normal headlights) creating less time to react to something in the road, especially when driving at higher speeds. Night-time glare occurs as a result of both bright and dim lights. Trying to see something in the presence of bright light causes the eyes to squint and become teary. On the other hand dim light reduces the contrast of images, impairing vision.

Since the whole operation of movement of vehicles at night is governed by the lighting systems of the vehicle, of the surroundings and of other vehicles, it is an area of immense research and demands continuous innovations and improvements over existing light systems to provide improved results.

The present invention relates to an anti-glare light system for vehicles (1) which is strapped to the car’s sun visor, as shown in Fig. 4, which produces gentle (adjustable) light on the face of the driver due to which the pupils of the eyes shrink just enough to reduce the glare but still allowing the driver around 90% vision.

Normally in the darkness, the pupils of the eyes naturally dilate to let more light in. But while driving, the dilated pupils take in more light which causes dazzle and glare in the eyes from other cars’ head and tail lights. As soon as the light source goes away, there is a rapid reduction of the dilated pupils of the eye due to which the driver can see clearly. A gentle, barely perceptible, interior lighting relaxes the eyes. Due to this the pupils shrink slightly when facing a glare of light due to which the risks caused due to glaring lights are reduced and the eyes retain full functionality. In such conditions perception and reaction can be optimized.

The anti-glare light system (1), as displayed in Fig. 1, of the present invention comprises of a photochromic sensor (3), LED diffusers (4), protection lens along with circuit (5), transparent and black acrylic (2), male-female socket (6), cigarette lighter 12 V socket, Velcro (7) and wire (8). The photochromic sensor (3), LED diffusers (4) and protection lens along with the circuit (5) is placed under the main acrylic body (2), as shown in Fig. 2. The male socket (6) is then connected to a 12V Car Cigarette Lighter socket and the light is mounted on the car sun visor with Velcro (7), as shown in Fig. 3. As the light is connected to a 12V Car Cigarette Lighter socket, depending on the intensity of the light coming from the front, due to the photochromic sensor, the light fitted on the sun visor will dim or brighten, making the eyes relax. The photochromic sensor adjusts its brightness according to the light coming from the front. As the pupils shrink slightly, the glare risk is reduced. Therefore it gives a clear vision which is around 90% clear, while driving, thereby increasing the safety of the driver.

The anti-glare light system of the present invention is highly advantageous as it gives almost 90% clear vision to the driver at night due to which accidents caused due to glares caused by headlights of vehicles are reduced. It relaxes the eyes of the driver thereby protecting them from the damage caused due to bright lights coming from cars in the opposite lane at night. The photochromic sensors adjust their brightness depending on the intensity of the light coming from the opposite lane. This system can be mounted on the sun visor of all kinds of vehicles, as shown in Fig. 4, making it universal in nature. As the anti-glare light system of the present invention is simple, easy to install, maintain and is economical, it is very beneficial.

Although the preferred embodiment as well as the construction and use have been specifically described, it should be understood that variations in the preferred embodiment could be achieved by a person skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the invention. The invention has been described with reference to specific embodiments which are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of the invention as defined in the claims.
