The Prior ~rt Cited
.
Various shock absorbing bumpers and braking devices havs
been invented, but most modern land motor vehicles use the rigid standard
bumper and hydraulic, or pneumatic brakes. The evidence shows that other
braking systems and safety bumpers are impractical, because they are too
expensi~e" or inadequate. As ~ result, vehicle hRad-on accidents are
increasing; and most of these accidents are caused by the ineffeotive
brake system; when the driver applies brakes too late~ or not at all, or
when brakes are dsfective. The following prior arts fall in the category
of impractical, or inadequate:
1. Pn~umatic buffer for motor vehicles, invented by T. Zahorodny
,
, U.S. Patent # 3,203.72~, dated ~ugust 31st.. 1965. This art uses a
combination of pneumatic and metallic spring buffers for motor vehicles,
as a means of shock absorbing. This art has a secondary effect for shock
..
absorblng, as ln the case of a high speed hsad-on collision.
2. ~Dnamic braking system for wheeled vehicles, invented by
G. T. Peters Etal. patent ~ 3,434,569, dated 25th llarch 1969. The said
art states, "The wheels of a vehicle are connected through a suitable
power trai~ to drive an air compressor for compressing atmosphere which
dissipates some of the energy in the rotating axle, the compressed
atmosphere being utilized to supply reverse thrust so a3 to add an
additional braking ~aotor to the dynamic braking capability of the vehicle
; the compressed atmosphere may be heated to further increase the reverse `~
' thrust for additional braking pOwer.'l.
; 3. Vehicle emergency stop system, invented by C. B. Marks,
patent ~ 3,648,806, dated March 19th, 1972. This is a brake system used
to assist in stopping a vehicle. Ihe said art states that it, ~'...includes
a forwarding point jet nozzle, a t nk connected to the nozzle for applying

fluid under pressure to the nozzle, a sub-frame for mounting the noæzle
on the vehicle frame, blocking mechanism at the forward end portion of
the nozzle to selectively operating the blocking mechanism to a fluid
disch3rge condition.". This is a fluid discharging apparatus, as a result
lagging in time for work. ~erefore, it has no s~chronization with
head-on impact against a vehicle.
4. Retro-rocket braking system for land vehicles, invented by
C. C. Clark, patent ,~ 3,71~,256, dated 6th March 1973. me said art
stat~s, "~ rocket motor is secured to the ~rame adjacent the underside
of the vehicle and is provided with two diverging nozzles extending
forwardly at an angle to the center line of the vehicle and terminating
at the sides thereof.". Clark's invention is a common known method, hence
it is an unlawful patent. This method was invented by me in the Spring
of 1967 in the Town of Gravelbourg, Sask., when I responded to a question-
naire about a device which could stop a vehicle in an emergency. Ihe
said apparatus works by means of applying an opposing force to counteract
motor vehicle acceleration force until the said vehicle is brought to
a stop. It is a jet like en,,ine which is secured at the underside centroid
of the vehicle chassis frame. I verbally made kno~ the said qUestiOnnaire
episode to the Dept. of Highways of~ Sask., and the Dept. of Physics,
University of Sask., Regina, in the Spring of 1967.
5. Vehicular brake actuating device, invented by Max. J. Nave
Sr., U.S. patent # 3,744,588, dated 10th July 1973. The art states,
"~ motor vehicle includes a bumper assembly having a main bumper bar
shock-mounted to the vehicle frame and supporting an outer contact bar
7~hich, upon impact, closes a switch-controlled circuit to actuate a
solenoid coil provlded with an operating a~m connected to the vehicle
bralce pedal. Il. But said switch operating brakes would introduced a vehicle
rolling, ~ereas in a case OI a highway hsad-on collision.
6. Safety bumper, invsnted by Anthon~ S. Toro, patent -;~ 3,841,
683, dated 25th Cctober 1974. Ihe said art states, "~ safety bumper

for vehicles providing a three st~ge shock absorbing means to protect
the occupants of the vehicle from serious injury or dea~h. A first stage
is provided by a pneumatic bumper tire for low speeds, a second stage by
a heavy spring for intermediate speeds, and a -third stage for higher
speeds is provided by a rubber shock absorber.". Toro's invention, however
, has no utility, because a pneumatic tire cannot be mounted on a bumper
frame without bolts or some mechanical fastcners.
7. Vehicle safety apparatus, invented by ~min Melhem Saab,
patent ~ 3,917,020, dated 4th Nov. 1975. The said art states, "Apparatus
for absorbing the shock of impact against a ~ehicle which encludes a
road contact shock absorber assembly mounted on the vehicle for movement
into engagement with the road in response to impact with a bumper of the
vehiole. A vehicle seat is released for resilient movement in response
to impact against the vehicle to cushion impact against a passenger or
driver.". The present invention has different construction and function.

Brief Summary of Invention
.
The land motor vehicle anticollision device is a superiOr
apparatus to any of the above-described prior arts. It is not an invention
of same kind. The present invention provides most effective protection
for a vehicle having a head-on accident, because -the apparatus can
destro~ collision impact instantly.
The apparatus counteracts the head-on impact against 8 vehicle.
A rubbsr bumper tire provides cushion-power and the bumper assembly
provides resistance-power. m e bumper assembly has five annular bolts
encircled by a coil spring, lon~itudinally mounted wlthin 5 c~lindrioal
hollow sleeves of the lateral front chassis frame. ~s the front bumper
centracts to its maximum distance, it transforms about 30~ of collision
impact at a speed of 60 miles per hour into work. When the front bumper
has contracted to four tenths its tot~l contractible distance, it
activates at lsast one of the first pair o~ switches which are mounted at
the middle of the front side of the lateral front chassis frame. This
provides an el0ctronic means of unsealing two gas sealers and producos
sparks for the ignition of two combustion turbulence cylinders which
are secured at the adjacent underside rear end of the longitudin~l
vehiole frame and a sub-frame. As the front bumper contracts to one half
of its total contractible distance, it activates the second pair of
switches for spark producing, providing a double check ignition system.
The said pair of combustion turbulence cylinders which produced ;
two parallel opposing forces at a 15 degree down~ard angle, neutralizes
about 60% of vehicle motion at a speed of 60 miles per hour. Once ~hese
two said cylinders have reached their maximum power, their power
decreases at a rate inversely proportional to the time in second square,
., :
for the tot 1 utilizable time of five seconds. The said apparatus in

this ~ay prol~ides the driver with time to apply motor vehicle brakes.
Whereby this apparatus can eliminate the problem of applying vehicle
brakes too late.
Furthermore, this apparatus is also provides rear end collision
protection by means of a rear end contractible tire bumper9 since most
of the rear end collisions are minor ones.

Detailed Description of Tlle Invention
: .
m e following is a description of tha nature of the land motor
vehicle anticollision device with full partiGulars of the manner in which
the whole embodiment is assembled as shown in the attached drawings. (1)
in figs. 1 and 2 show a straight rubber bumper tire assembly, which is
constructad in combination of 4 fiber-rubber plies, a rectangular metal
screw bolt mounting frame (6), with a rectangular sealing edge of a
slightly acute angle, and a folding extension at each lateral end; the
rearward side of said tire is open for compresssd air inflation, and the
outer part of said bumper tire middle has a thin steel plate (71) which
has a threaded hole at each corner for licience-plate mounting.
,:
Referring to figs. 2 and 6, a steel bumper (2) which has a
.,`' .
,
.' ' ' '
slightl~r depressed outward rectangular-edge, on ~nich the straight
rubber bumper tire (1) fig. i is ~ounted and sealed with glue; and
secured around said bumper frame by bolts (5). The bumper tire is
inflated with 30 to L~ p.s.i. compressed air through an inlet air valve
(7) which sxtends throug'n the steel bumper wall into a small flat air
chamber at the right upper corner. The rear side of the steel bumper wall
is welded with five lateral spaced steel annular mounting bolts (9), and
each said annular bolt is encircled by a high tension coil spring (8).
The whole contractible bumper assembly (4) is mounted at the front and
rear portion Or a vehicle lateral bumper mounting chassis frame (11) by
means of 5 extended-bolt (9) portions extending through its five hollow
cylindrical slee~es (61). Each said bolt is secured by a lock washer (12)
, and a nut (13) against the rear side of said lateral chassis frames.
This provides a maximum normal spacing between the metal steel bumper
(2) fig. 6 and the lateral bumper frame (11) fig. 6, resulting in an
unitary contractible bumper assembly. h`ach bumper works by contractions
within 5 hollow cylindrical sleeves, and when it has contracted to its
maximum distance, it has transformed 3Dr/g of a vehicle head-on collision
impact at a speed of 60 miles per hour into work. The work i9 equal to
the bumper's tot~l contracting distance times its resistenc~ power.
Referring to figs. 3 and 6, the second element of the land motor
~ . .
vehicle anticoIlision apparatus, generally designated (10) to be two
pairs of pushing switches are mounted at the front side of the front end
bumper mounting chassis frame. rrwO of the four switches which are mounted
at about the mid-point lateral chassis frame, become activated when said
bumper contracts to four tenths of its total contractible distance, and
this electronicall~ unseals two fuel sealers (41) ~igs. 4 and 8 and
supplies electricity to two spark plugs (22) figs. 5 and 7. The last two
switches which are mounted at each lateral end of said lateral chassis
frame, become activated'when said contractible bumper has contracted to
one half its total contractible distance, and this provides electricit~r

to the two spark plugs (22) fig. 7; all 4 said switches (10) are connected
with a pair of parallel high capacity condensers (44) fig. 7, and a 12
~olt battery (45) fig. 7, and said battery is grounded (42) fig. 7. The
other contact point (51) fig, 3 of each said switch is connected with two
spark plugs (22) fig. 7 and two magnesium fuel sealers (41) ~igs. 4 and
8, operatively providing an ignition system and 3 fuel supply system.
~ pushing switch is particularly illustrated in fig. 3. It is
constructed of a dielectric cylindrical switch ho~ing (49) sarewed onto
a dielectric circular base plate (50)i and within the housing there is a
contact pole (55) and two suspending contact points (51). ~ oontact point
is constructed of a limit rivet, encircled by a coil spring (52) and a
contact point housing lid (53) to providing a maxi~um normal space between
the upper end of the rivet and its locking lid. The upper end of each
rivet is connected with a terminal wire (62). One of the two terminal
wires is connected to a battery and the other is connected to two magnesium
sealers and 2 spark plugs. 1'he said locking lid is screwed-onto a
cylindrical contaot point housing (54), and said housing is screwed into
ths basa plate (50). Between two said contact points (51) is a metal
contact pole (55), which has 2 rectangular wings at the longitudinal
middle of a cylindrical body; and its lower end is the smallest in diameter
and, encircled by a coil spring (52), provides a norm~l maximum spaced
in between the said rectangular wings and the switch base plate (50). The
upper end of said contact pole has a large short cylindrical section,
and a smaller and a longer section at the upper end. The upper section of
said rontact pole is encircled by a guide plate (54), a gill spring (51)
that locks at the largest section of the cont3ct pole (55) when it
actuates inwardly slide by the steel bumper's rear side contraction pOwer
. The said contact pole is encircled and secured by a screwed-on sealing
lid (5~), and guarded by a screwed-on safety cap (59), as a means of
accident prevention.

motor vehicle anticollision apparatus, this includes a pair of refillable
cylindrical fuel t nks. The oxygen tank (46) is twics the si~e of the
methane tank (47). l'he said tanks are mounted within the rear end of the
car trunk, or in another suitable location on other motorized land
vehicles. Both tanks ~re individually connected with a dual mile end
fitting ~'39). m e dual l~ale end fitting which is within a dual female
coupling (38) is screwed-into dielectric pipe (40). '~ne pipe is sealed
by a hollow-body magnesium fuel sealer (41). miS said magnesium sealer
is conneeted with a switch at one side, and the other side is grounded
(42) by means a wire. that is extended through a hole at each side of
each dual female coupling (38). This hollow eyllndrical dual fem~le
coupling is connected with a cylindrical T fitting (33). '~ne larger end
of the cylindrical T end is eneircled by a rubber o-ring (64), a gasket
(65) and a fem~le circular fastening case (32), and said fastening case
is connected with two circular male end fittings (37) of the rectangular
metal made dual male end coupling block. One of the two said male end -
fitting having an inlet conduit (68a) twiee the size of the one which is
con~ected to the methane tank (47), which is connected to the oxygen tank
~46). The said dual male coupling block (36) is ths gas mixing apparatus.
m e rear end of said dual male fitting block (36) has a threaded hole

Referring to figs. 5 and 6, the fourt`n element of the land motor
vehicle anticollision apparatus, this includes a pair of longitudinal
rect~ngular chassis frame (67) and a cross plate sub-frame t6~); a pair
of cylindrical combustion turbulence cylinders which are mounted at the
ad~acent underside of the rear end at 2 longitudinal vehicle fr~es (67)
and a welded on 90 degree angle sub-~rame at eaeh said combustion eylinder
and has fastened by bolts (5) through its bolt holes (68). Each said
eylinder is comprised of 2 layers of cylindrical housing, separating the
outside housing (16) from the inside housing (14) by means of a cireular
air cool channel tl7). I~ithin the inside layer of said cylindrical
housing is a hollow c~lindrical combustion chamber (19). It is sealed by
a screwsd-into front lid (20) and a rear lid (21); and each said lid has
a row of circular holes just at the outside of the combustion chamber
housing t16), these holes are the air intake holes for cooling said
cylinder housing. In addition, to the front lid are connected 2 fuel
sprayers (23, alsc having a spark plug (22) which is connected with 4 -~
switches (10), which are operatively connected with a 12 volt battery
(45). me rear lid has many funnel-like energy outlet holes. Both combustion
ch~mber housings are rigidly fastened to the combustion turbulence
eylinder housing (16) with P~len screws (15) at each lid. Each combustion
turbulenee housing has an impeller (25) whieh is located in between the
outside longitudinal mid-point of the combustion chamber's rear lid (21)
and the impeller installation plate (28) which has many 30 degree angle
holas whieh oreate an outlet for turbulence force. The impeller comprises
a circular hub (27) with an axle at each end, and each axle is encircled
by a bushing t26)- The midpoint of said circular impeller hub (27) is
casted with four 45 degres axial blades. The said impeller wor~s by having
the high temperature gases blowing at the top portion blades. Air is

said combustion turbulence cylinders are sealed by a circular iron ring
(29) and a cylindrical T exhaustion coupling (30) which has a funnel-like
15 degree downward ou-tlet (31) in the middle. S3id pair combustion
turbulence cylinders produce 2 par~llel opposing forces which totally
counteract 60~ of said vehicle coIlision impact at a speed 60 miles per
hour. ~hen the two combustion turbulence cylindars have reached their
maximum producing power, their power decreases at a rate inversely
proportional to the time in seaond square for the tot~1 utiliæable time
of five seconds. -
The following refers to the nature of the land motor vehicle
.
anticollision devioe in operation. As the outer part of the unitary
contractible rubber bumper tire (1) fig. 6 contacts a foreign colliding
,~ object, its elastic-power reduced the crushing effect betT~en the ~ -
colliding object and the said bumper (4) fig. 6. In the same instant the
unitary bumper is energizing to contract inwardly by means of the five
annular bolts (9) fig. 6 which are encircled by five coil springs (8)
fig. 6, and they caused to contract within five cylindrical hollow sleeves
(61) fig. 2 in synchronization. This transforms some of the collision
force of àn impact against a vehicle into work, for work equals the
springs' resistance force times its total contractible distance.
When the front bumper has inwardly contracted to four tenths
its total contractible distance, the rear side of the steel bumper frame
(2) fig. 6 activates at least one Or the two said pushing switches'
contact pole (55) to s~ide inwardly contacting with 2 suspending contact
points (51) fig. 3. Said contackion transmite electric current from a
battery (45) fig. 7 through a p~ir of parallel condensers (44) fig. 7
into 2 hollow magnesium fuel sealers (41), causing the said pair sealers
to combust instantly; thus it electronically unseals both fuel sealers.
In the same instant that the oxygen gas discharges from the oxygen tank
.,, 10
. :,
" ' ' ' ' .:
~2Z~f~
(46), methane gas discharges from the mathane tank (47). The gases mix
at the du-~l male snd coupling block (36) figs. 4 and 7. The said mixed
gases have a combination of 2 parts o~ygen and one part methanei and said
mixed gases are delivered to the quartet coupling block (34) where they
are fed into two combustion ch~mbers (19) fig. 5 through four fuel
sprayers (23) figs. 4 and 7. m e said fed fuel is instantl,y ignited by
the continuous sparXs which are produced by the combustion c~linder's
spark ,plug (22) figs. 5 and 7 until the first pair of swi-tches (10) figs.
6 and 7 become destroyed. ~nen the front bu~per has contracted to one
. .
half its total contractible distance; it activates at least one of the
second pair of switches which transmits electric energy to 2 said spark
plugs (22), providing a double check ignition system.
' Once the pair of combustion turbulence cylinders is ignited, they
,, inst~ntly produce a continual high temperature flame. Each said flame
discharges through the energy discharging holes (24) fig. 5 and blows at
the top portion blades of an impeller (25) fig. 5; causing the impeller '~
. :
to rotate continuously. This draws air from the atmosphere through the ' '
circular channel (17) fig. 5, and this cools said combustion turbulence
cylinder housing (16) and blows the intake air ~nd the hi~h temperature
gases out through 30 degree angle holes (60) fig. 5. This creates a
mechanical energy multiplication before discharges through a 15 degrae
downward angle outlet conduit (31) figs. 5 and 7. ~s the two said
combustion turbulence cylinders reach their maximum producing power. their
power decreases at a rate inversely proportional to the time in second
square for a time of five seconds. As the result has totally counteracting
90'~ oP the vehicle acceleration force at a speed of 60 miles per hour.
The anticollision apparatus destroys head-on collision impact in a ~ '
gradual manner by neutralizing vehicle motion and work.
The land motor vehicle anticollision device is the most effective
apparatus for protecting a land motor vehicle from being demolished and
capable saves occupants' lives when a head-on collision occurs. The said
apparatus overcomes the driver's problem applying vehicle brakes too late.
