Description

Schalthebelausführungen eines sog,TempomatShift lever versions of a so-called cruise control

Stand der Technik sind für die autoraatische(elektronische) und elektr/mech.Geschwindigkeitsregelungen,insbesondere von PKW und LKW Motoren die meist an der Lenksäule eingebauten Teraporaaten. Diese sind vorzugsweise in 4 Ebenen zu bewegen,meist mit den Fingern einer Hand,die u.a. auch beim Steuern am Steuerad gebraucht werden.Der Tempomat sitzt vorzugsweise unterhalb des Steuerrads an der Lenksäule.The state of the art for automatic (electronic) and electro/mechanical speed controls, especially for car and truck engines, are the thermostats that are usually installed on the steering column. These can preferably be moved in 4 planes, usually with the fingers of one hand, which are also used when steering the steering wheel. The cruise control is preferably located below the steering wheel on the steering column.

Bei namhaften PKW Firmen ist dabei "AUS" die Bewegung vom Fahrer weg in Richtung nach vorne,eine atypische Bewegung,indem der Fahrer zur Sicherheit am Steuer diese Hand mit Daumen,Zeige-und Mittelfinger behält(gesetzliche Notwendigkeit 2 Hände am Steuer) und mit Rückseite von mindestens 2 bis 3 Finger-Kleiner und Ringfinger und evtl. auch den Mittelfinger-nach vorne bewegt,weg vom vom Fahrer s. Fig.lFor well-known car companies, the movement is "OFF" away from the driver in a forward direction, an atypical movement in which the driver keeps this hand with thumb, index and middle finger at the wheel for safety (legal requirement 2 hands at the wheel) and with the back of at least 2 to 3 fingers - little and ring finger and possibly also the middle finger - moving forward, away from the driver, see Fig.l

Dabei kann wie oft geschehen,der Hebel durch Lücken zwischen den Fingern gleiten,manchmal ohne den Hebel,der durch Schaltrasten einen Widerstand hat,die Funktion nicht ausfuhren.Dies merkt man nicht sogleich,erst nach einigen Sekunden, durch nicht Absinken der Geschwindigkeit.Letztlich bleibt nichts anderes übrig,durch ein kurzes Antippen des Gaspedals den Tempomat auszuschalten,was zu Auffahrunfällen oder zu Vollbremsungen des nachfolgenden L/PKW führen kann,weil auch .eine Funktion z.B. Aufleuchten der Brems« leuchten erfolgt.Massgaben zur Kontrolle der gewünschten Bewegung des Schalthebels nach vorne ist die Schwierigkeit daß beide Ebenen,die Bewegungs»und Schalteben zusammenfallen. Die einfachste Lösung wäre die "AUS" Funktion z.B.durch die Pos= ition"Beschleunigung" zu ersetzen,90 Grad zur Finger-Handbewegung zu verändern,oder durch "Speichern"gegen "AUS" zu tauschen.Dem stehen aber nach Angaben der Hersteller traditionelle und nach Wichtigkeit der 4 Funktionen nur Neuerstellungen,keine Lösungen bei existenten Anlagen entgegen.Dies umgeht die hier vorgeschlagene Lösung in einfacher Weise durch ein einfaches Zu=· Satzteil wie beschrieben und dargestellt. ZusammenfassungAs often happens, the lever can slip through gaps between the fingers, sometimes without the lever, which has resistance due to the gearshift notches, the function cannot be carried out. You don't notice this straight away, only after a few seconds, because the speed does not drop. Ultimately, there is no other option than to switch off the cruise control by briefly tapping the accelerator pedal, which can lead to rear-end collisions or emergency braking of the following car/passenger vehicle, because a function such as the brake lights coming on is also carried out. The difficulty in controlling the desired movement of the gearshift lever forwards is that both levels, the movement and shift levels, coincide. The simplest solution would be to replace the "OFF" function, for example, with the "Acceleration" position, change it to 90 degrees to the finger-hand movement, or swap it for "OFF" by "Save". However, according to the manufacturer, this is opposed by traditional and, depending on the importance of the 4 functions, only new creations, not solutions for existing systems. The solution proposed here circumvents this in a simple way by simply adding a sentence as described and shown. Summary

■ %■ %

Ein in der Form ergänzter Schalthebel, der mit am Endev vertikalen nasenförmigen 2 Erhebungen,als Barriere gegen Durchrutschen durch die Fingerspalten bei der Funktion "AUS"absichert,als auch durch eine an der unteren Erhebung,senkrecht dazu tropfenförmigen Verdickung,deren untere kugelförmige Ausbildung eine Vertiefung als form= und kraftschlüssige Ausführung in etwa zur Zentrierung der Fingerkuppe verhilft.A gear lever with an additional shape, which has two vertical nose-shaped elevations at the end as a barrier to prevent slipping through the finger gaps when the function is "OFF", as well as a drop-shaped thickening at the lower elevation, perpendicular to it, the lower spherical formation of which has a depression as a form- and force-fitting design that helps to center the fingertip.

Diese zwei senkrecht zum Hebel aufgeführten funktionellen nasenfÖrmigen Erhebungen sitzen auf einem vierkantigen schmalen käfigförmigen Grundkörper,der über den vierkantähnlichen Hebel geschoben wird und mit einer Wurmschraube befestig wird.Gleich» zeitig kann als Neuteil die beschriebene Ausführung gelten.These two functional nose-shaped protrusions, which are perpendicular to the lever, sit on a square, narrow cage-shaped base body, which is pushed over the square-like lever and secured with a worm screw. At the same time, the version described can be considered a new part.

BeschreibungDescription

Fig 1 zeigt die übliche Ausführung eines Temporaathebel mit den 4 Funktionsebenen,wie heute üblich benutzt.Fig. 1 shows the usual design of a cruise control lever with the 4 functional levels, as commonly used today.

Das erfindungsgemässe form=und kraftschlüssige Zusatzteil zeigt Fig 2 mit dem auf den Tempomathebel aufschiebbar und durch z.B eine zentrierende"Wurraschraube"5 und der Ausführungsform, oben (2) z.B. für die Funktion "Verzögern FIX,"dieienige unten (3) zur Funktion "Beschleunigung" . Seitlich ergeben (3) u£2) die Sicherheit zur Verhinderung des Fallierens der Funktionen "Speichern" und insbesondere "AUS".Diese wichtigste Funktion "AUS" verhindert in dieser oder ähnlicher Form daß der Hebel durch die Lücken der Finger gleitet.Ausserdem ist die Funktionssicherheit beobachtbar vom Fahrer,da nun der Vollzug durch den Aufsatz gegeben ist. (3!)und (4}sind Beispiele der unteren Ausfuhrungsmöglichkeiten zu gewissen Ausbildungen für eine Zentrierung der Finger bei der Funktion "Beschleunigung".Fig. 3 stellt u.a. in Seitenansicht die Ausführung im Gegensatz zur quaderförmigen Ausbildung als konzentrische Tropfenform (3' Strich) mit einer für die Fingerkuppe vorgesehene Zentrierung (4'Strich) dar .The form-fitting and force-fitting additional part according to the invention is shown in Fig. 2 with the part that can be pushed onto the cruise control lever and secured by a centering "wrench screw"5, for example, and the embodiment, at the top (2) for the "deceleration FIX" function, for example, and at the bottom (3) for the "acceleration" function. On the sides (3) and £2) provide the safety to prevent the "save" and especially "OFF" functions from failing. This most important function "OFF" prevents the lever from sliding through the gaps between the fingers in this or a similar form. In addition, the functional safety can be observed by the driver, since the execution is now provided by the attachment. (3!) and (4} are examples of the possible designs below for certain configurations for centering the fingers for the "acceleration" function. Fig. 3 shows, among other things, a side view of the design in contrast to the cuboid-shaped design as a concentric teardrop shape (3' line) with a centering provided for the fingertip (4' line).

Fig 4 ist eine Perspektive Darstellung als Formteil,aufschiebbar auf existente Terapomatanlagen.Sinngemäss,ohne nachträgliches Auf= schieben bei Ausbildung des vollständigen neuen Tempomathebels aus einem Stück. 'Fig. 4 is a perspective view of a molded part that can be pushed onto existing Terapomat systems. In the same way, without subsequent pushing on when the complete new cruise control lever is made from one piece. '
