Description

ere-y- Safety device for motor vehicles -------------------------------- The present utility model relates to a security A device for motor vehicles, which has the particular purpose of reducing the danger that exists during night encounters and is increased by the dazzling effect when the vehicles drive past one another. The facilities that have become known in this regard, e.g. B. side-mounted position lights have the disadvantage that new light sources appear in the driver's field of vision through which he can be additionally illuminated, blinded and irritated.

The present utility model assumes that for the moment of encounter with the opposing vehicle a characteristic of the vehicle, which identifies the only important curb distance of the vehicle at this moment, is of the utmost importance. For this purpose, according to the utility model on the vehicle a radiation source, e.g. B. light source arranged, which by applying to known optical means bundled beams without scattering effect on a Place of the road throws, in such a way, that the lateral distance of the Vehicle is made particularly recognizable from the edge of the road (curb distance), by the irradiated point on the road z. B. with regard to their brightness like this it appears much different in that it stands out from the rest of the lighting.

The device is advantageous according to the utility model taken so that the power circuit feeding the radiation source with the power circuit for the electrical equipment (e.g. the low beam) depending on the function, electrical connected is.

The safety device according to the utility model makes it possible So the vehicle driver, when encountering an opposing vehicle, their own curb distance Visible through a light spot and thus the possibility of evasion that is still available ascertain. So much for the risk of encountering an opposing vehicle is thereby not reduced to an acceptable level, can by means of the invention the opposing vehicle also use this facility. The risk of a collision with the opposing vehicle, as well as the risk of colliding with the Schrammbord, is with it significantly reduced, as far as the prevailing conditions (lane width, Vehicle and opposing vehicle width) at all. By bundling and stopping down the radiation effect is for vehicles opposite or following, or others Road users avoided a Blehdffekt. The drawing shows an embodiment of the utility model.

The vehicle 1 shown from above is on the right Street side ; the curb distance is denoted by 2. At the front of the The vehicle is the radiation source 3 is arranged, the bundled beam 4 on the roadway in the alignment of the curb side vehicle wheels one for light spot 5 visible to the driver is generated. This allows the vehicle driver and the other road users distance 2 or the greatest width of the vehicle recognize on this side.

The radiation source is advantageously obliquely from above directed downwards and remains unchanged after setting its suitable position or effect. The new safety device is also used in an advantageous manner when overtaking, to mark the available space in narrow entrances or when parking.

Claims (1)

Protection claims - / ' 1) Safety device for motor vehicles, thereby characterized in that a radiation source on the vehicle, z. B. light source is arranged, which by application manure of known optical means throws bundled rays without scattering effect on a point of the road, such that the lateral distance of the vehicle from the edge of the road (Schrammbordpunkt) is made particularly recognizable by the irradiated point on the road z. B. appears so much different in terms of brightness that it stands out from the rest of the vehicle lighting. * mY 2) Safety aa & direction according to claim 1, characterized shows that the electricity supplying the radiation source circle with the circuit for the electrical equipment (e.g. the low beam) is electrically connected depending on the function.
