Abstract
A supplemental turn signal apparatus (10) is provided for use with a vehicle (82) having a conventional electrical turn signal system (12). Apparatus (10) includes activable connection structure (14), signal displays (16), (18), audible signal devices (20), (22) and dashboard flasher devices (24), (26). The signal displays (16), (18) are activated to indicate an immediate turn in the appropriate direction. When a turn is indicated as for example, at flasher (68) by depressing the turn signal lever downwardly, the signal display (16) may optionally be activated by depressing structure (38) so that signal display (16) receives a synchronous signal from flasher (68) via supplemental switch (56). Due to the closing of maintenance switch (48) by a coil (52), signal display (16) will remain activated as long as system switch (76) is maintained in a closed position, that is, normally until the left turn is completed.
