Abstract

The door mirror (on a car or truck) or handlebar-mounted rear view mirror (on a motorbike) can be integrated with a turn signal in the housing. This will give improved visibility to other drivers of intention to change direction and will enhance the normal turn signals, especially if one of these latter fails. The new housing is designed to be aerodynamic and lightweight. It can also be simple to manufacture and to fit onto the vehicle. The design indicated has a housing of transparent plastic containing the flasher bulb with wires in the attachment stalk. The mirror is held centrally in the housing. ADVANTAGE - Improvement of traffic safety by recognition of intent to change lanes or direction.

Description

Im Straßenverkehr werden viele Unfälle durch unzureichende Erkennbarkeit der Anzeige von Fahrtrichtungsänderungen verursacht. Bisher waren unter ungünstigen Sichtbedingungen die Blinkleuchten nicht erkennbar bzw. nicht zweifelsfrei, ob ihres Funktionszustandes auszu­ machen.In road traffic, many accidents are caused by insufficient visibility of the display Changes in direction of travel caused. So far they have been under unfavorable visibility conditions Direction indicators not recognizable or not unequivocal as to whether their operational status should be do.

Blinkleuchten wurden bisher an Fahrzeugen am Bug, Heck und Seitenflanken angebracht.Direction indicators have previously been attached to vehicles at the bow, stern and side flanks.

Die in den letzten Jahren immer größer gewordenen Gehäuse von Rückspiegeln (Aerodynamik) aller Fahrzeugklassen sollen nach o.g. Patent durchsichtig ausgeführt werden, um gleichzeitig als Gehäuse für Blinklampen zu dienen.The rear-view mirror housings, which have become increasingly larger in recent years (Aerodynamics) of all vehicle classes should according to the above Patent can be made transparent, to simultaneously serve as a housing for flashing lights.

Die großen Spiegelgehäuseoberflächen und der Abstand zu Karosserieteilen verspricht eine hervorragende Abstrahlung des Blinksignales und beste Erkennbarkeit durch andere Verkehrsteilnehmer. Vorteile ergeben sich besonders beim Motorrad, dessen schmale Silhouette Probleme bei der Erkennbarkeit von Blinkanzeigen bereitet. Hier können die bisher gesondert montierten Frontblinkleuchten völlig entfallen, wobei bei PKW und LKW typ- und klassenbezogene Optimierungen möglich sind.The large mirror housing surfaces and the distance to body parts promise one excellent radiation of the flashing signal and best recognition by others Road users. There are particular advantages with the motorcycle, whose narrow silhouette Problems with the detection of flashing indicators. Here you can separately mounted front turn signals are completely eliminated, whereby type and class-related optimizations are possible.

Neben der Verbesserung der Verkehrssicherheit durch besseres "Erkennen" von Fahrtrichtungsänderungen ergeben sich Vorteile für die Umwelt durch aerodynamische Vorteile und Gewichtseinsparungen.In addition to improving traffic safety through better "detection" of Changes in direction of travel result in environmental benefits through aerodynamic Benefits and weight savings.

Weitere Vorteile ergeben sich durch:Further advantages result from:

  • - Vereinfachungen bei Fertigung und Montage- Simplifications in manufacturing and assembly
  • - neue formgestalterische Freiräume (flachere Frontpartien von PKW, Wegfall von Blink­ leuchten an den Fahrzeugflanken und evtl. im Bug)- New design freedom (flatter front parts of cars, no blinking light up on the sides of the vehicle and possibly in the bow)
AusführungsbeispielEmbodiment

Das Spiegelgehäuse eines Motorradrückspiegels einschließlich dessen Halter bzw. Fuß werden aus lichtdurchlässigem, schlagfestem und eingefärbtem (evtl. dunkel getönt) Kunststoff hergestellt (Schmelzguß, Spritzguß u.ä.).The mirror housing of a motorcycle rear-view mirror including its holder or foot made of translucent, impact-resistant and colored (possibly dark tinted) plastic manufactured (melt casting, injection molding, etc.).

Im bisherigen Gehäuse befinden sich dieIn the previous housing are the

  • - Mechanik/Elektrik zur Spiegeleinstellung- Mechanics / electrics for mirror adjustment
  • - Spiegel.- Mirror.

Im neuen "durchsichtigen Spiegel" müssen zusätzlichIn the new "transparent mirror" must also

  • - 1 Lampe (30-40 W)- 1 lamp (30-40 W)
  • - 1 Lampenfassung einschließlich Kabelanschluß- 1 lamp holder including cable connection
  • - 1 Reflektor unterbracht werden.- 1 reflector can be accommodated.

Daher könnten Spiegelglas und Reflektor miteinander verknüpft werden und das Spiegelglas auf seiner Rückseite mit einer reflektierenden Oberfläche ausgeführt werden. Das Spiegelgehäuse sollte an den Innenflächen eine gerippte Oberfläche erhalten, um ein diffuses Licht zu erzeugen. Die Zugänglichkeit ins Spiegelinnere (ggf. Lampenwechsel) sollte durch einfache Steck- bzw. Schraubverbindungen möglich sein.Therefore, mirror glass and reflector could be linked and the mirror glass on the back with a reflective surface. The mirror housing should have a ribbed surface on the inner surfaces in order to to produce diffuse light. Accessibility to the inside of the mirror (if necessary changing the lamp) should be possible with simple plug or screw connections.
