Abstract

The device is for attachment to a vehicle body or to the housing (11) of a rear view mirror. A tubular light conductor (12) is arranged and shaped so that one end piece (121) is attached to the mirror housing at a light source (13) attached to the housing and its other end (122) is either free or likewise attached to the mirror housing or body and the outer surface of the light conductor is wholly or partly structured to allow light to emanate.

Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein an der Karosserie eines Fahrzeuges oder am Gehäuse des Rückblickspiegels des Fahrzeuges anbringbares Blinklicht zur Anzeige der Richtungs­ änderung des Fahrzeuges oder auf ein entsprechend angebrachtes Markierungslicht.The invention relates to a on the body Vehicle or on the housing of the rearview mirror of the Vehicle-mounted flashing light to indicate the direction Modification of the vehicle or on an appropriately attached Marker light.

Für die Sicherheit im Straßenverkehr ist von erheblicher Bedeutung, dass die Blinklichtsignale von Kraftfahrzeugen von den anderen Verkehrsteilnehmer zuverlässig erfasst werden können und daher gibt es beispielsweise zusätzliche Blinklichter an den Rückblickspiegelgehäusen. Bei diesen ist im Gehäuse des Spiegels ein zusätzliches Blinklicht vorgesehen, das bedingt durch die Wahl der Glühbirne, einen kegelförmigen Lichtstrahl aussendet.For road safety is of considerable importance Meaning that the flashing light signals from motor vehicles the other road users are reliably recorded can and therefore there are additional ones, for example Flashing lights on the rear view mirror housings. With these is an additional flashing light in the housing of the mirror provided that due to the choice of the light bulb, a conical light beam emits.

Die vorliegende Erfindung will ein derartiges Blinklicht weiterhin im Hinblick auf die Verkehrssicherheit verbessern und schlägt vor, dass ein Blinklicht der eingangs genannten Art so ausgebildet wird, dass ein schlauchförmiger Lichtleiter (12) derart angeordnet und geformt ist, dass dessen eines Endstück (121) am Spiegelgehäuse an einer dort angebrachten Lichtquelle (13) und das dessen anderes Endstück (122) entweder frei ist oder ebenfalls am Spiegelgehäuse (11) oder der Karosserie befestigt ist und dass die äußere Oberfläche des Lichtleiters (12) ganz oder teilweise mit einer Struktur ausgebildet ist, die Licht nach außen austreten lässt.The present invention intends to further improve such a flashing light with regard to traffic safety and proposes that a flashing light of the type mentioned at the outset is designed in such a way that a tubular light guide ( 12 ) is arranged and shaped such that one of its end pieces ( 121 ) is at the Mirror housing on a light source ( 13 ) attached there and the other end piece ( 122 ) of which is either free or is also attached to the mirror housing ( 11 ) or the body and that the outer surface of the light guide ( 12 ) is wholly or partly formed with a structure that lets light escape to the outside.

Bei dem Blinklicht gemäß der Erfindung kann es sich um ein zusätzliches Blinklicht handeln, es kann sich aber auch um eines der vorderen Blinklichter handeln. Desgleichen kann es sich um ein Markierungslicht des Kraftfahrzeuges handeln.The flashing light according to the invention can be a additional flashing light, but it can also be one of the front flashing lights. It can do the same are a marker light of the motor vehicle.

Beim Blinklicht gemäß der Erfindung wird eine großflächige Signalausgabe bewirkt, die sich z. B. über die Wölbung des Gehäuses eines Rückblickspiegels so erstreckt, dass das Blinklicht in einem großen Raumwinkel, also auch insbesondere von seitlichen Richtungen her, wahrgenommen werden kann.The flashing light according to the invention has a large area Signal output causes z. B. on the curvature of the Rear view mirror housing extends so that the Flashing light in a large solid angle, i.e. also in particular can be perceived from lateral directions.

Die Erfindung wird nachstehend anhand der Zeichnung beispielsweise erläutert.The invention is described below with reference to the drawing for example explained.

Die einzige Figur der Zeichnung zeigt eine Ansicht auf ein Rückblickspiegelgehäuse von oben her.The only figure in the drawing shows a view of one Rear view mirror housing from above.

Das Rückblickspiegelgehäuse ist mit 11 bezeichnet und dieses ist über einen nicht weiter bezeichneten Teil 10 mit dem Kraftfahrzeug verbunden. Es ist ersichtlich, dass es sich in diesem Fall um das rechtsseitige Rückblickspiegelgehäuse handelt.The rear view mirror housing is designated by 11 and this is connected to the motor vehicle via a part 10 which is not further designated. It can be seen that this is the right-hand rear-view mirror housing.

Im Rückblickspiegelgehäuse ist ein Blinklicht 13 mit einer Glühlampe gezeigt, die in der üblichen Art und Weise über die Kraftfahrzeugelektrik mit dem entsprechenden Signal versorgt wird. An dieser Stelle ist das eine Ende 121 eines Lichtleiters 12 angeschlossen, dessen anderes Ende 122 an dem Gehäuse 11 bei 14 angebracht ist. Der Lichtleiter 12 hat dementsprechend eine Form, die im Wesentlichen einem Handgriff entspricht. In the rearview mirror housing, a flashing light 13 is shown with an incandescent lamp, which is supplied in the usual way with the corresponding signal via the motor vehicle electrical system. At this point, one end 121 of an optical fiber 12 is connected, the other end 122 of which is attached to the housing 11 at 14. Accordingly, the light guide 12 has a shape which essentially corresponds to a handle.

Die Oberfläche des Lichtleiters 12 ist so ausgebildet, dass das Licht nach außen austritt, wobei die Oberfläche, die dem Gehäuse 11 zugewandt ist, möglicherweise eine andere Ausbil­ dung hat, da in diese Richtung kein Licht abgestrahlt werden muss.The surface of the light guide 12 is formed so that the light emerges to the outside, the surface facing the housing 11 possibly having a different design since no light has to be emitted in this direction.

Mit Hilfe des Lichtleiters 12 kann erreicht werden, dass über einen großen Raum, nämlich die nach außen gewandte Oberfläche des Lichtleiters 12 Blinklichtsignale ausgestrahlt werden, die nicht nur von vorn, sondern auch von der Seite her gut wahrgenommen werden können.With the aid of the light guide 12 it can be achieved that flashing light signals are emitted over a large space, namely the outwardly facing surface of the light guide 12 , which can be perceived not only from the front but also from the side.
