Abstract:
A signal converter connectable between the brake and turn signal light control circuit of a towing vehicle and the brake and turn signal lamps on a towed a farm implement, the brake and turn signal light control circuit concurrently producing an intermittent pulse type left turn signal at a first pin position of a connector receptacle and a continuous signal at a second pin position of the receptacle when brakes are applied while a left turn is being signaled, or concurrently producing an intermittent pulse type signal at the second pin position and a continuous signal at the first pin position when brakes are applied while a right turn is being signaled, the farm implement having left and right turn signal lamps and left and right brake lamps, said signal converter comprising:first and second timers having outputs connected to first and second relays, respectively;said first and second timers having inputs connectable to said first and second pin positions, respectively;said first and second timers producing output signals to energize said first and second relays, respectively, only when a continuous signal is present at said first or second pin position, respectively;said first and second pin positions being connected through normally closed contacts of said first and second relays, respectively, to said left and right turn signal lamps, respectively, and through normally open contacts of said first and second relays, respectively, to both said left and right brake lamps.
