Description

Es ist bekannt, die durchsichtige- Abdeckscheibe von Fahrzeugrückleuchten mit Rückstrahlprismen zu besetzen, so daß sie zugleich als Rückstrahler wirkt. Innerhalb der Rückstrahlprismen sind sogenannte Leerflächen vorgesehen, durch die die Strahlen des Rücklichtes nach außen treten.It is known, the transparent cover plate of vehicle taillights to be filled with reflex prisms so that it also acts as a reflex reflector. Within of the retroreflective prisms, so-called empty areas are provided through which the rays step outside of the rear light.

Die Rückstrahlprismen bestehen zumeist aus Würfelecken, die mit ihrer sechskantigen Basis anein;anderstoßen. Die Schnittpunkte der einzelnen Ecken sind optisch unwirksam.The retroreflective prisms mostly consist of cube corners, which with their hexagonal base; butt against each other. The points of intersection of the individual corners are optically ineffective.

Man ist aus diesem Grunde bei einer bekanntgewordenen Ausführung von Rückstrahlern dazu übergegangen, diese Schnittstellen als Leerflächen auszubilden, deren Seitenkanten auf den Prismenkanten senkrecht stehen, so daß jeweils ein Sechseck gebildet wird. Bei Ver-,vendung derartiger mit Prismen besetzter Rückstrahlscheiben bei Rückleuchten von Kraftfahrzeugen tritt das Rücklicht aus dieser Vielzahl von Sechsecken bzw. Linsen aus, ohne jedoch die gesamte Scheibe auszuleuchten. Es ist ferner bekannt, diese Leerflächen durch Linsen zu ersetzen, die jeweils mit einem Hohlspiegel hinterlegt sind.For this reason, one is in a version of which has become known Reflectors have switched to designing these interfaces as empty areas, whose side edges are perpendicular to the prism edges, so that each is a hexagon is formed. When using such reflective disks fitted with prisms in the case of the rear lights of motor vehicles, the rear light emerges from this multitude of Hexagons or lenses, but without illuminating the entire pane. It is also known to replace these empty areas with lenses, each with a Concave mirrors are stored.

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Fahrzeugrückleuchte, deren Lichtquelle .einen Reflektor aufweist und dessen mit Rückstrahlprismen besetzte Abdeckscheibe -am den Schnittstellen der Prismen angeordnete Leerflächen aufweist, und schlägt zwecks volleer Ausleuchtung der Scheibe vor, hinter dem mit einer Vielzahl von Leerflächen versehenen Rückstrahlglas eine mit Linsen besetzte durchsichtige Scheibe anzuordnen, die derart ausgebildet ist, daß jeder Leerfläche eine Linse zuggeordnet: ist. Der Durchmesser der Linse entspricht ,der Größe des ein. Prisma umschreibenden Kreises, so daß bei richtigem Abstand ihr auf der Außenseite des.Rückstrahlglases erscheinendes sechseckiges Abbild aneinandergereiht die ganze Rückstrahlfläche erhellt. Voraussetzung hierfür ist ein die Lichtquelle umgreHen.der Parabolreflektor, der ihre Strahlen parallel richtet. The invention relates to a vehicle taillight, the light source of which has a reflector and whose cover plate is fitted with retroreflective prisms - has empty areas arranged at the interfaces of the prisms, and proposes a retroreflective glass with lenses behind the reflective glass provided with a large number of empty areas for the purpose of full illumination of the disc to arrange transparent disc, which is designed such that a lens is assigned to each empty surface: is. The diameter of the lens is equal to the size of the one. Prism circumscribing a circle, so that with the correct distance, your hexagonal image appearing on the outside of the reflective glass illuminates the entire reflective surface. The prerequisite for this is that the light source be turned around the parabolic reflector, which directs its rays in parallel.

In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung wird man die Linsen in einer Zwischenwand des aus durchsichtigem Werkstoff hergestellten Rücklichtgehäuses anordnen und den Rückstrahler in einem umlaufenden Kragen des Gehäuses einkleben.In a preferred embodiment of the invention one becomes the lenses in a partition of the rear light housing made of transparent material arrange and glue the reflector in a circumferential collar of the housing.

Die Zeichnung veranschaulicht ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung, und zwar stellt Abb. i einen Schnitt durch die Leuchte dar, während die Abb. 2 und 3 vergrößerte Einzelheiten zeigen. Das Leuchtengehäuse i ist aus durchsichtigem Werkstoff hergestellt und in bekannter Weise mit der Karosserie a verbunden..The drawing illustrates an embodiment of the invention, namely Fig. i represents a section through the lamp, while Figs. 2 and 3 show enlarged details. The luminaire housing i is made of transparent Material produced and connected in a known manner to the body a ..

In einem umlaufenden Kragen der Rückseite ist der Rückstrahler 3, der mit den Rückstrahlerprismen ¢ besetzt ist, bei i i eingeklebt. Das Leuchtengehäuse weist eine Zwischenwand 8 auf.In a circumferential collar on the back is the reflector 3, which is occupied by the reflector prisms ¢, glued in at i i. The luminaire housing has an intermediate wall 8.

In dem Rückstrahlglas 3 sind sechseckige, in den Schrüatstellen der Rückstrahlprismen 4 befindliche Leerflächen 6 angeordnet, denen die Linsen 7 jeweils zugeordnet sind.In the reflective glass 3 are hexagonal, in the Schrüatstellen the Reflecting prisms 4 located empty surfaces 6 arranged, which the lenses 7 each assigned.

Der Durchmesser einer Linse entspricht der Größe des ein Prisma umschreibenden Kreises 14. Hunter der Lichtquelle 13 ist ein Reflektor 12 angeordnet, der die austretenden Strahlen parallel richtet, so daß das Abbild io der Linsen, auf der Außenseite des Rückstrahlglases aneinandergereiht, eine volle Ausleuchtung bewirkt.The diameter of a lens corresponds to the size of that circumscribing a prism Circle 14. Hunter of the light source 13, a reflector 12 is arranged, the exiting Aligns rays parallel so that the image io of the lenses, on the outside of the Reflective glasses strung together, causing full illumination.

Die Leerfläche 6 kann noch zusätzlich die Linse 9 aufweisen.The empty surface 6 can also have the lens 9.
