Abstract

A commercially available gravity switch or brake fluid pressure switch (1) operated automatically by severe deceleration is wired in parallel with a manual switch (4) between the positive pole of the battery and an electronic timing device (2) connected to the flashing indicator unit (5). The limited-duration warning given by the automatic portion of the installation can be cancelled at any time by manual operation of a key (6) in series with the automatic switch (1). ADVANTAGE - Warning of danger is given to following drivers without delay, and is distinguishable from indication of normal braking.

Description

Titeltitle

Einschaltautomatik für WarneinrichtungenAutomatic switch-on for warning devices

Gattung des AnmeldegegenstandesGenre of the object of registration

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine technische Einrichtung, mit welcher Warneinrichtungen in Fahrzeugen aller Art bei starker Verzögerung automatisch eingeschaltet werden.The invention relates to a technical device with which Warning devices in vehicles of all Kind with strong delay automatically be switched on.

Stand der TechnikState of the art

Warneinrichtungen (z. B. Warnblinkanlagen) befinden sich in allen zugelassenen Kfz und sind vom TÜV vorgeschrieben. Sie werden manuell über Knopfdruck in Gefahrensituationen oder bei einem Unfall eingeschaltet.Warning devices (e.g. hazard lights) are found in all registered vehicles and are prescribed by the TÜV. You are in manually at the push of a button Dangerous situations or an accident switched on.

Kritik am Stand der TechnikCriticism of the state of the art

Die Warneinrichtungen (z. B. Warnblinkanlagen) werden normalerweise selten benutzt und es dauert oft wertvolle Sekunden, bis sie bei Gefahr eingeschaltet werden. The warning devices (e.g. hazard lights) are usually rare used and it often takes valuable Seconds until turned on when in danger will.  

Aufgabetask

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, die vorstehend genannten Nachteile beim Einsatz der Warneinrichtungen zu beseitigen und speziell bei Auffahr- oder Unfallgefahr die nachfolgenden Verkehrsteilnehmer effektiver zu warnen. D. h. unter anderem eine Differenzierung des Bremsens zu ermöglichen.The invention is based on the object the disadvantages mentioned above when using the warning devices to eliminate and especially in the or risk of accident the following Warn road users more effectively. I.e. among other things a differentiation of braking.

A: Normales Bremsen . . . Bremslicht
B: Starkes Bremsen . . . Bremslicht+ z. B.WarnblinkanlageA: Normal braking. . . Brake light
B: Heavy braking. . . Brake light + z. B. Warning lights

Nach dem starken Bremsen bleibt die Warneinrichtung für eine beliebig einstellbare Zeit noch aktiv, um weiterhin auf abgebremste oder sehr langsam anfahrende Fahrzeuge hinzuweisen.After braking hard, it stays Warning device for any adjustable Time still active to continue on braked or very slow starting Point out vehicles.

Ist keine Gefahr im Verzuge, kann die Warneinrichtung jederzeit manuell abgeschaltet werden.If there is no imminent danger, the Warning device switched off manually at any time will.

Lösung/Wiedergabe des kennzeichnenden Teils der AnsprücheSolution / playback of the characteristic Part of the claims

Erreicht wird dieses Ziel dadurch, daß ein Sensor, z. B. ein am freien Markt erhältlicher Schwerkraft- oder Öldruck- Schalter die Bremsverzögerung bzw. den Bremsöldruck erfaßt und bei einer kritischen Verzögerung einen elektrischen Kontakt auslöst und die Warneinrichtung damit aktiviert.This goal is achieved in that a sensor, e.g. B. a free market available gravity or oil pressure Switch the braking deceleration or the Brake oil pressure detected and at one critical delay an electrical Contact triggers and the warning device activated with it.

Weiterhin bleibt die Warneinrichtung, über ein Zeitglied, beliebig einstellbare Zeit nach dem Brems- oder Aufprallvorgang eingeschaltet. Sie wird danach automatisch abgeschaltet, wobei sie auch jederzeit manuell abgeschaltet werden kann. The warning device remains, via a timer, freely adjustable Time after braking or impact switched on. She will afterwards automatically turned off, being too can be switched off manually at any time can.  

Beschreibung eines AusführungsbeispielsDescription of a Embodiment

In der Zeichnung ist die Erfindung in einem Übersichtsschaltplan dargestellt.In the drawing, the invention is in shown in an overview circuit diagram.

Wiedergabe des kennzeichnenden Teils der UnteransprüchePlay the characteristic Part of the Subclaims

Die Einschaltautomatik für Warneinrichtungen in Fahrzeugen aller Art besteht aus einem Sensor (1), einem Zeitglied (2) und der Verdrahtung (3) zum Einbinden der Automatik in die Kfz-Elektrik.The automatic switch-on for warning devices in vehicles of all kinds consists of a sensor ( 1 ), a timer ( 2 ) and the wiring ( 3 ) for integrating the automatic system into the vehicle electrical system.

Wobei die Automatik parallel zum manuellen Schalter für Warneinrichtungen (4) eingebunden wird. Somit kann unabhängig vom manuellen Schalter der Warneinrichtung (4) die Warneinheit z. B. der Blinkgeber (5) aktiviert werden. Ein zusätzlicher Aus-Taster (6) für die Einschaltautomatik kann die Warneinrichtung jederzeit ausschalten. The automatic system is integrated in parallel to the manual switch for warning devices ( 4 ). Thus, regardless of the manual switch of the warning device ( 4 ), the warning unit z. B. the flasher unit ( 5 ) can be activated. An additional off button ( 6 ) for the automatic switch-on can switch off the warning device at any time.

Erzielbare VorteileAchievable advantages

Eine erfindungsgemäße Einschaltautomatik für Warneinrichtungen in Fahrzeugen aller Art ermöglicht eine effektive Warnung vor Gefahrensituationen im Straßenverkehr insbesondere vor Auffahrunfällen.An automatic switch-on according to the invention for warning devices in vehicles of all kinds enables one effective warning of dangerous situations especially in road traffic Rear-end collisions.

Durch das automatische Auslösen der Warneinrichtung bei einem Aufprall auf einen Gegenstand oder auf ein anderes Fahrzeug wird für andere Verkehrsteilnehmer eine Gefahrensituation schneller und effektiver sichtbar.By automatically triggering the Warning device in the event of an impact one item or another Vehicle is used for other road users a dangerous situation faster and more effectively visible.
