Through the device according to the invention are behind Cyclists driving vehicles across several brake lights arranged one behind the other over the Brake intensity informed, so that the following Vehicle, especially for cyclists or Low speed vehicles rely on this Situation as quickly as possible. This will the safety standard has improved since the drivers of the following vehicles informed more safely and precisely how strong the vehicle in front of him can be slows. It is also advantageous that this braking information also during the day, especially when the weather is bad Weather conditions, such as rain, ice, fog and Snow, to the driver of the vehicle behind is passed on. This can cause the risk of accidents all road users are greatly reduced.
Weitere Vorteile der Erfindung und Einzelheiten sind in den Patentansprüchen und in der Beschreibung erläutert und in den Figuren dargestellt. Es zeigt:Further advantages of the invention and details are in the Claims and explained in the description and in shown the figures. It shows:
Fig. 1 eine Bremsleuchte mit mehreren untereinander herausstehenden, über eine Elektronik einschaltbaren Dioden, Fig. 1 is a brake light having a plurality of one another protruding, switchable via an electronic diodes,
Fig. 2 die Bremsleuchte gemäß Fig. 1 in der Ansicht von hinten, Fig. 2, the stop lamp shown in FIG. 1 in a view from the rear,
Fig. 3 die Anordnung der einzelnen Sensoren sowie den Ablauf des Bremsvorgangs und den am Bremsseilzug befestigten Magneten, der über die hintereinander angeordneten Sensoren gezogen wird und dabei die einzelnen Dioden ansteuert, so daß diese beleuchtet werden. Fig. 3 shows the arrangement of the individual sensors and the sequence of the braking process and the magnet attached to the brake cable, which is pulled over the sensors arranged one behind the other and thereby controls the individual diodes so that they are illuminated.
Eine in Fig. 1 dargestellte Bremsvorrichtung 1 weist unter anderem einen starken Magneten 2 auf, der an einer beliebigen Stelle an einem Seilzug der Bremsvorrichtung befestigt ist und die einzelnen Sensoren derart ansteuern kann, daß die in Fig. 1 dargestellten Dioden 10, 11 aufleuchten. Die einzelnen Sensoren 4 sind hierzu beiderseits eines Seilzuges 5 am Fahrzeug befestigt. Es können zahlreiche einzelne Sensoren beiderseits des Seilzuges 5 hintereinander angeordnet werden. Eine in der Zeichnung nicht dargestellte Elektronik, die die von den Sensoren 4 erhaltenen Signale verarbeitet, gibt diese an die Bremsstärkeanzeige weiter, die durch die einzelnen Sensoren 4 verwirklicht worden ist. Wie hierzu aus Fig. 1 bzw. 2 hervorgeht, werden die mit den Magneten so zusammenwirkenden Sensoren 4 in Reihe beiderseits eines Seilzuges 5 angeordnet. Je größer die Anzahl der Sensoren ist, je genauer ist auch die Anzeige. Wird also der am Seilzug 5 befestigte Magnet 2 gemäß Fig. 3 über die einzelnen hintereinander angeordneten Sensoren 4 bewegt, so werden diese geschaltet bzw. aktiviert. Die einzelnen Sensoren können am Vorder- oder am Hinterradbremsseilzug, der in der Zeichnung jedoch nicht dargestellt ist, auf gleiche Weise angebracht werden. Bremst beispielsweise der Fahrer, so betätigt er hierzu den Seilzug, und der am Seilzug befestigte Magnet 2 wird über die Sensoren gezogen und diese der Reihe nach angesteuert und wie bereits erwähnt aktiviert.A braking device 1 shown in Fig. 1 comprises, inter alia, a strong magnet 2, which is fixed at an arbitrary position on a cable of the braking device and the individual sensors can control such that the diodes 10, 11 shown in Fig. 1 illuminated. For this purpose, the individual sensors 4 are attached to the vehicle on both sides of a cable 5 . Numerous individual sensors can be arranged one behind the other on both sides of the cable 5 . Electronics, not shown in the drawing, which processes the signals received from the sensors 4 , passes them on to the brake force display, which has been implemented by the individual sensors 4 . As this, in Fig. 1 and 2 is apparent that with the magnets so cooperating sensors 4 are arranged in series on either side of a cable. 5 The greater the number of sensors, the more accurate the display. If the magnet 2 attached to the cable 5 according to FIG. 3 is moved over the individual sensors 4 arranged one behind the other, then these are switched or activated. The individual sensors can be attached to the front or rear brake cable, which is not shown in the drawing, in the same way. For example, if the driver brakes, he actuates the cable pull, and the magnet 2 attached to the cable pull is pulled over the sensors and these are controlled in sequence and activated as already mentioned.
Das Magnetfeld des Magneten 2 ist so gewählt, daß er alle hinter- bzw. nebeneinander angeordneten Sensoren abdecken und diese aktivieren kann. Wird die Bremsintensität verringert, so bewegt sich der Seilzug 5 entgegengesetzt zu dem in Fig. 3 angegebenen Pfeil 6, und die einzelnen Sensoren 4 nehmen ihre Schaltfunktion "offen" ein. Die dadurch ausgelösten Signale werden von der Elektronik verarbeitet und an einer Bremsstärkeanzeige bzw. an einer Bremsleuchte 7 gemäß Fig. 1 und 2 ausgegeben, so daß der Fahrer eines nachfolgenden Fahrzeuges diese Informationen erfassen kann.The magnetic field of the magnet 2 is selected so that it can cover all sensors arranged one behind the other or next to one another and activate them. If the braking intensity is reduced, the cable 5 moves in the opposite direction to the arrow 6 indicated in FIG. 3, and the individual sensors 4 assume their switching function "open". The signals triggered in this way are processed by the electronics and output on a brake intensity display or on a brake light 7 according to FIGS . 1 and 2, so that the driver of a following vehicle can acquire this information.
Die Bremsstärkeanzeige bzw. Bremsleuchte ist in vorteilhafter Weise an einem Fahrrücksatz oder an einem hinteren, in der Zeichnung nicht dargestellten Schutzblech oder auch an einer anderen geeigneten Stelle an einem Fahrzeug befestigt.The brake strength indicator or brake light is in advantageously on a driving set back or on a rear fender, not shown in the drawing or in another suitable place in one Vehicle attached.
Die Elektronik ist derart im Fahrzeug integriert, daß sie vor Beschädigungen bzw. Feuchtigkeit geschützt wird.The electronics are integrated in the vehicle in such a way that they is protected against damage or moisture.
Die Sensoren 4 können mit einer Plastikhülle umgeben oder in eine transparente Kunststoffmasse eingegossen werden, um sie ebenfalls vor Beschädigung oder Schmutz und Feuchtigkeit zu schützen.The sensors 4 can be surrounded with a plastic cover or cast into a transparent plastic mass in order to also protect them from damage or dirt and moisture.
In die Bremsleuchte bzw. Bremsstärkeanzeige 7 ist ein üblicherweise am Fahrzeug erforderliches Rücklicht 8 integriert. Gemäß Fig. 2 befinden sich auf der Rückseite einer Platte 9 zahlreiche nebeneinander angeordnete Lampen 10 und 11, die konzentrisch zum Rücklicht 8 angeordnet sind. Diese einzelnen Lampen können unterschiedlich über die Sensoren angesteuert werden, so daß in Abhängigkeit der Anzahl der einzelnen angesteuerten Lampen die Intensität bzw. die Stärke des Rücklichtes größer oder kleiner ist. A rear light 8 , which is usually required on the vehicle, is integrated in the brake light or brake intensity display 7 . According to Fig. 2 located on the back of a plate 9 numerous juxtaposed lamps 10 and 11, which are disposed concentrically to the back light 8. These individual lamps can be controlled differently via the sensors, so that the intensity or the strength of the rear light is greater or smaller depending on the number of the individual controlled lamps.
