Abstract
Description
Es ist bekannt, daß Bremslichter an Kraftfahrzeugen im Straßenverkehr nur als einstufige Lichtanlage betrieben werden, die durch einen Schalter am Bremspedal oder an der Bremsleitung ausgelöst werden. Auch die heute üblichen Zusatzbremslichtleuchten funktionieren nach dem gleichem Prinzip. Die Bremslichter leuchten immer gleichmäßig und kontinuierlich auf.It is known that brake lights on motor vehicles in traffic only can be operated as a single-stage lighting system by a switch on the brake pedal or triggered on the brake line. Even the usual ones today Additional brake lights work on the same principle. The brake lights always light up evenly and continuously.
Es gibt keine Warnlichtanzeigen bei Vollbremsung, Aufprall und Fahrzeugstop.There are no warning lights when the brakes are applied fully, the vehicle collides with the vehicle, or when it stops.
Der Nachteil der heutigen Bremslichtanlagen ist, daß bei einem Bremsvorgang für den nachfolgenden Fahrer nicht erkennbar ist, wie stark die Bremse betätigt wird. Liegt eine Vollbremsung vor oder wird das Bremspedal nur angetippt.The disadvantage of today's brake light systems is that when braking for subsequent drivers cannot see how hard the brake is applied. Is one Full braking before or the brake pedal is just tapped.
Besonders auf bei Dunkelheit und auf Autobahnen kommt es zu Fehleinschätzungen mit Unfallfolge (z. T. mit Kettenreaktion) da die Bremssituation falsch erkannt und eingeschätzt wird.Especially in the dark and on highways there are misjudgments Accident consequence (partly with chain reaction) because the braking situation is incorrectly recognized and is assessed.
Im Schutzanspruch 1 liegt das Problem zugrunde, daß durch die herkömmlichen Bremslichtanlagen nicht erkennbar ist wie stark der Bremsvorgang tatsächlich ist. Durch die neue Brems- und Warnlichtanlage wird über ein gesteuertes Lichtband je nach Situation die nötigen Signale angezeigt.Protection claim 1 is based on the problem that the conventional Brake light systems cannot tell how hard the braking process actually is. By The new brake and warning light system is controlled by a controlled light band Situation, the necessary signals are displayed.
Im Trägheitsbremslichtregler (2), wird bei einem Bremsvorgang das Pendel (3) durch das Trägheitsprinzip nach vorne bewegt. Die am Pendel (3) befestigten Schleifkontakte (5) geben über die unterschiedlich langen Kontaktschienen (8) die Strom für die 12 Lampen (28) frei, diese leuchten dann je nach Bremsstärke von außen nach innen auf. An der unterschiedlichen Länge des Lichtbandes kann der nachfolgende Fahrer eines Kraftfahrzeuges sofort erkennen wie stark das vor ihm fahrende Fahrzeug bremst wird. Der Fahrer kann die Situation schneller und besser einschätzen und somit angemessen reagieren. Auch der nachfolge Verkehr kann ebenfalls besser reagieren.In the inertial brake light controller ( 2 ), the pendulum ( 3 ) is moved forward by the inertia principle during a braking process. The sliding contacts ( 5 ) attached to the pendulum ( 3 ) release the current for the 12 lamps ( 28 ) via the contact rails ( 8 ) of different lengths, which then light up from outside to inside depending on the braking power. From the different length of the light band, the following driver of a motor vehicle can immediately see how hard the vehicle in front of him is braking. The driver can assess the situation faster and better and thus react appropriately. The subsequent traffic can also react better.
Eine weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung ist im Schutzanspruch 2 angegeben, durch den angesteuerten Kontakt (St7) werden bei einer Vollbremsung Warn- und Blinksignale über ein Blinkrelais (9) ausgelöst, die ebenfalls zur besseren und schnelleren Einschätzung der Situation führen.A further advantageous embodiment is specified in protection claim 2, the triggered contact (St7) triggers warning and flashing signals via a flashing relay ( 9 ) when the brakes are applied, which likewise lead to a better and faster assessment of the situation.
Eine weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung ist im Schutzanspruch 3 angegeben, durch den angesteuerten Schalter (10) wird bei einem Aufprallunfall über die komplette Lampen (28) L1-L6 und R1-R6 Warn- und Blinksignale ausgelöst, die ebenfalls zur besseren und schnelleren Einschätzung der Situation führen. Die heute üblichen Warnblinkanlagen müssen meistens manuell eingeschaltet werden, das bringt eine erhebliche Zeitverzögerung mit sich. Zudem könnte der Fahrer verletzt sein und so daß er die Warnblinkanlage nicht einschalten kann.A further advantageous embodiment is specified in the protection claim 3, by the activated switch ( 10 ) in the event of an impact, the entire lamps ( 28 ) L1-L6 and R1-R6 trigger warning and flashing signals, which also provide a better and faster assessment of the situation to lead. Today's hazard lights usually have to be switched on manually, which entails a considerable time delay. In addition, the driver could be injured and could not turn on the hazard lights.
Eine weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung ist im Schutzanspruch 8 angegeben, durch die Fahrzeugstopanzeige können nachfolgende Fahrzeuge sofort erkennen, daß das vordere Fahrzeug steht. Besonders auf Autobahnen bei Dunkelheit ist diese Anzeige von Bedeutung.A further advantageous embodiment is specified in claim 8, the vehicle stop display enables following vehicles to recognize immediately that the front vehicle is stationary. This display is particularly useful on highways in the dark significant.
Durch diese Brems- und Warnlichtanlage nach Schutzanspruch 1-6 wird je nach Situation auch die Reaktionszeiten und damit der Bremsweg erheblich verkürzt. Durch diese Erfindung wird der Straßenverkehr erheblich sicherer. This brake and warning light system according to protection claims 1-6 will depend on Situation also the response times and thus the braking distance significantly reduced. By this invention makes road traffic considerably safer.
