Turn signal spring

This invention relates to a device to cancel the turn signal of an automobile when it fails to cancel due to a defect in the turn signal switch or the turn signal canceling cam.

BACKGROUND OF INVENTION 
The problem of some one driving an automobile with a flashing turn signal 
all the time is a very serious problem. The average driver and people 
crossing a street at an intersection will take for granted if the car's 
turn signal light is flashing that the car is going to make a turn but the 
driver intents to go straight ahead. A driver of an automobile at an 
intersection thinking the car is going to turn, could pull in front of the 
car with signal flashing that the car is going to make a turn. 
The device that i have invented could prevent this. 
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
This invention is a safety device to kick the turn signal handle back to 
neutral when the turn signal canceling cam or switch fails to operate 
correctly. I got the idea when the turn signal canceling cam on my 
automobile fail to cancel or return the turn signal handle to neutral 
after i would make a turn.

PREFERRED EMBODIMENT 
For the purposes of promoting an understanding of the principles of the 
invention, reference will now be made to the embodiment illustrated in the 
drawings. 
Referring to FIG. 1 there is illustrated a coiled spring 2 with a concave 
nest 1 for the handle of the turn signal 4 to fit in. The concave radius 1 
and the flexible coiled spring 2 will allow the concave nest 1 to go to 
the center of the handle 4 of the turn signal which will keep the handle 4 
align with the coiled spring 2. 
FIG. 2 illustrates the coiled spring 2 bent on a 90 degree angle 3. The 90 
degree angle 3 allows the concave radius 1 to extend outward to the handle 
4, when positioned on the steering column housing 5. The thickness of the 
wall of the housing 5 will determine the pitch of the coiled spring 2. The 
opening of the coiled spring 6 is pressed on the wall of the housing 5 
under the turn signal handle 4. 
In FIG. 3 you will see how the coiled spring 2 fits under the turn signal 
handle 4. The opening of the coiled spring 6 is pressed on the wall of the 
housing of the steering column 5. When the driver of the automobile 
anticipate that a turn is going to be made, he or she puts pressure on the 
handle of the turn signal 4 which in turn puts pressure on the coiled 
spring 2 and causes the coiled spring 2 to compress. The compression of 
the spring 2 will keep the turn signal mechanism from locking. The driver 
of the automobile keeps pressure on the handle 4 with his hand till the 
turn is complete. After the turn is completed, the driver releases the 
pressure on the handle 4 which in turn releases the pressure on the 
compressed spring 2. When the pressure is release, the compressed spring 2 
will move upward and push the handle 4 back to a neutral position. When 
the turn signal handle 4 is in neutral position the turn signal light will 
stop flashing.
