Description
Signaleinrichtung für KraftfahrzeugeSignalling device for motor vehicles
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Signaleinrichtung für Kraftfahrzeuge oder Krafträder zum Anzeigen des Abbremsens des FahrzeugesThe invention relates to a signaling device for motor vehicles or motorcycles for indicating the braking of the vehicle
Es sind verschiedene Leuchtanzeigen für Kraftfahrzeuge bekannt, die sowohl automatisch einen Fahrzustand anzeigen oder durch Handbetätigung eine Kommunikation mit anderen Verkehrsteilnehmern ermöglichen.Various light displays for motor vehicles are known which either automatically indicate a driving status or enable communication with other road users by manual operation.
So wird in der DE 196 45 713 Al eine Leuchtanzeige beschrieben, die als ein ein- oder zweiteiliges Leuchtband ausgebildet ist, auf dem Pfeile zum Anzeigen der Richtungsänderung oder Buchstaben entsprechend dem Wort "STOP" zum Anzeigen eines Abbremsen vorgesehen sind. Diese Leuchtanzeige wird an der Heckpartie des Fahrzeuges angeordnet und dient der Information des nachfolgenden Verkehrs.For example, DE 196 45 713 A1 describes a light display that is designed as a one- or two-part light strip on which arrows are provided to indicate a change in direction or letters corresponding to the word "STOP" to indicate braking. This light display is arranged at the rear of the vehicle and serves to inform following traffic.
Mit der DE 100 02 750 Al wird vorgeschlagen, dass wenigstens eine Signalleuchte am Fahrzeug durch eine Vorrichtung ansteuerbar ist, wobei diese in der bevorzugten Ausführung die Bremsleuchte sein soll. Mittels dieser Signalleuchte sollen bestimmte Fahrzustände wie Gas wegnehmen, Gas geben und Bremsen angezeigt werden.DE 100 02 750 A1 proposes that at least one signal light on the vehicle can be controlled by a device, which in the preferred embodiment should be the brake light. This signal light should be used to indicate certain driving conditions such as releasing the accelerator, accelerating and braking.
Darüberhinaus ist es aus der DE 199 62 439 Al bekannt, eine zusätzliche grüne Lichtquelle in die Scheinwerfer, die Blinkleuchten, die Bremslichter oder den Rückfahrscheinwerfer eines Fahrzeuges zu integrieren, um anderen Verkehrsteilnehmern die Einräumung der Vorfahrt oder den Vortritt optisch zu signalisieren. Die Betätigung dieser Signaleinrichtung erfolgt willensabhängig vom Fahrer per Hand.In addition, it is known from DE 199 62 439 A1 that an additional green light source can be integrated into the headlights, indicators, brake lights or reversing lights of a vehicle in order to visually signal to other road users that right of way has been given or that they are giving way. This signaling device is activated manually at the driver's discretion.
Nachteilig bei diesen Signaleinrichtungen ist, dass sie entweder nur dem nachfolgenden Verkehr eine Information liefern oder willensabhängig vom Fahrer zu betätigen sind. Die vor dem betreffenden Fahrzeug befindlichen Verkehrsteilnehmer müssen sich gestützt auf ihre Lebenserfahrung ein Bild vom Fahrzustand des Fahrzeuges machen, sich die Fragen beantworten: Kann die Straße noch überquert werden? Bremst das herannahende Fahrzeug bereits ab? Wird die Vorfahrt gewährt, indem das Fahrzeug auf der untergeordneten Straße bremst?The disadvantage of these signal devices is that they either only provide information to the traffic behind or are activated by the driver. The road users in front of the vehicle in question must use their own life experience to form an idea of the vehicle's driving condition and answer the following questions: Can the road still be crossed? Is the approaching vehicle already braking? Is the right of way being granted by the vehicle braking on the secondary road?
Die dabei vorhandene Unsicherheit ist täglich im Straßenverkehr erlebbar: Unfälle, Fußgänger, die auf der Straße zu laufen beginnen, Fahrzeugführer auf Hauptstraßen, die vorsorglich ihr Fahrzeug abbremsen.The uncertainty that this creates can be experienced every day in road traffic: accidents, pedestrians who start walking on the road, drivers on main roads who brake their vehicles as a precaution.
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, Verkehrsteilnehmern vor fahrenden Fahrzeugen unabhängig vom Willen des Fahrzeugfuhrers mehr Sicherheit im Straßenverkehr zu vermitteln. Gelöst wird diese Aufgabe mit den kennzeichnenden Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1, vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen sind Gegenstand der Unteransprüche.The object of the invention is to provide road users with greater safety in traffic in front of moving vehicles, regardless of the driver's will. This object is achieved with the characterizing features of claim 1; advantageous embodiments are the subject of the subclaims.
Die erfindungsgemäße Signaleinrichtung für Kraftfahrzeuge und Krafträder, bei dem eine Leuchtanzeige einen eingeleiteten Bremsvorgang signalisiert, sieht vor, dass die Leuchtanzeige sichtbar von außerhalb des Fahrzeuges im Frontbereich des Fahrzeuges angeordnet ist und schaltungstechnisch mit dem Stromkreis für die Heckbremsleuchten des Fahrzeuges gekoppelt ist, so dass die Leuchtanzeige gleichzeitig mit den Heckbremsleuchten betrieben wird.The signaling device according to the invention for motor vehicles and motorcycles, in which a light indicator signals an initiated braking process, provides that the light indicator is arranged in the front area of the vehicle so that it is visible from outside the vehicle and is coupled in terms of circuitry to the circuit for the rear brake lights of the vehicle, so that the light indicator is operated simultaneously with the rear brake lights.
Verkehrsteilnehmern vor fahrenden Fahrzeugen wird so unabhängig vom Willen des Fahrzeugführers signalisiert, ob das Fahrzeug abbremst.Road users in front of moving vehicles are thus signalled whether the vehicle is braking, regardless of the driver's intention.
In einer bevorzugten Ausführung ist die Leuchtanzeige in die Frontscheinwerfer integriert und unterscheidet sich mit ihrem Licht deutlich vom Scheinwerferlicht.In a preferred design, the light indicator is integrated into the headlights and its light is clearly different from the headlight light.
Alternativ kann bei Kraftfahrzeugen die Leuchtanzeige als Leuchtband oder Leuchtpunkte an der Frontscheibe bzw. bei Krafträdern am Windschutz angeordnet sein.Alternatively, in motor vehicles, the illuminated display can be arranged as a light strip or light dots on the windscreen or, in the case of motorcycles, on the windshield.
Um ein gutes Erkennen der Leuchtanzeige zu gewährleisten, sieht die Erfindung in ihrer Ausgestaltung vor, dass die Lichtintensität der Leuchtanzeige während des Betriebes auf-und abschwellend ist oder das Licht in Form eines Blinklichtes ausgestrahlt wird. Zweckmäßig ist es auch, wenn die Lichtintensität der Leuchtanzeige in Abhängigkeit vom Tageslicht steuerbar ist, um insbesondere bei Dunkelheit Blendwirkungen für den Fahrzeugführer auszuschließen.In order to ensure that the illuminated display can be easily recognized, the invention provides that the light intensity of the illuminated display increases and decreases during operation or that the light is emitted in the form of a flashing light. It is also expedient if the light intensity of the illuminated display can be controlled depending on the daylight in order to prevent the driver from being dazzled, particularly in the dark.
