Description
Fahrzeugblinker üblicher Art bestehen aus einer Glühbirne, die hinter einer gelben oder durchsichtigen Abdeckscheibe angebracht ist. Je höher die Blinker am Fahrzeug angebracht sind, desto sicherer ist es, dass sie von anderen Verkehrsteilnehmern rechtzeitig gesehen werden. Das Problem ist schon lange bekannt. Viele Fahrzeughersteller versetzten die Blinker höher als bisher.Vehicle indicators usually consist of a light bulb that is mounted behind a yellow or transparent cover. The higher the indicators are mounted on the vehicle, the more certain it is that they will be seen by other road users in good time. This problem has been known for a long time. Many vehicle manufacturers have moved the indicators higher than before.
Der in den Schutzansprüchen 1 bis 17 angegebenen Erfindung liegt das Problem zugrunde ein Blinker-System zu schaffen dessen Licht aus der Scheiben des Fahrzeugs kommt und dass sehr gut sichtbar ist.The invention specified in claims 1 to 17 is based on the problem of creating an indicator system whose light comes from the windows of the vehicle and which is very clearly visible.
Dieses Problem wird mit den in den Schutzansprüchen 1 bis 17 aufgeführten Merkmalen gelöst.This problem is solved by the features set out in claims 1 to 17.
Mit der Erfindung wird ein Blink-System für Fahrzeuge geschaffen, dass die Sicherheit deutlich erhöhen kann. Die unsichtbaren Blinker sind am Rand der Scheiben angebracht. Sie versperren die Sicht des Fahrers nicht, da sie durchsichtig sind. Im ausgeschaltetem Zustand sind diese Blinker gar nicht wahrzunehmen. Die Scheibe weist mehrere kurze parallele und dünne Linien oder Mikro-Kratzer auf, die fast kaum zu sehen sind. Erst wenn der Blinker eingeschaltet wird, leuchten diese Linien sehr intensiv auf.The invention creates a flashing system for vehicles that can significantly increase safety. The invisible indicators are attached to the edge of the windows. They do not block the driver's view because they are transparent. When switched off, these indicators are not noticeable at all. The window has several short, parallel, thin lines or micro-scratches that are almost impossible to see. Only when the indicator is switched on do these lines light up very intensely.
Ausführungsbeispiele der Erfindung werden anhand der Fig. 1 bis 5 erläutert. Es zeigen:Embodiments of the invention are explained with reference to Figs. 1 to 5. They show:

Das System besteht aus einem Lichtstrahler, der eine Laser-Diode oder eine herkömmliche intensiv leuchtende Leuchtdiode sein kann. Eine Leuchtdiode ist in der Regel nicht ausreichend. Es sind notwendig mehrere davon z.B. 30 - 200 stück.The system consists of a light emitter, which can be a laser diode or a conventional, intensely luminous light-emitting diode. One light-emitting diode is usually not sufficient. Several of them are necessary, e.g. 30 - 200 pieces.
Das Arbeitsprinzip dieses Blinkers ist sehr einfach: Ein Lichtstrahler z.B. eine gelbe Laser-Diode 1 strahlt einen gebündelten Lichtstrahl, die direkt in einem Rand 2 der Scheibe 3 eindringt. Die Lichtstrahlen 4 werden durch das Glas- oder Kunststoff-Material wie bei einem Lichtleiter geleitet. Die Bahn der Lichtstrahlen wird durch den Totale-Reflektions-Effekt in der Scheibe gehalten. Erst wenn die Lichtstrahl einen Bereich 5 in der Scheibe trifft, die eine Lichtbrechung oder eine Lichtreflektion unter einem bestimmten Winkel-Bereich verursacht, dann verlassen die Lichtstrahlen die Glasscheibe. Der Lichtbrecher kann aus mehreren parallel angeordneten „Schnittlinien" 6 bestehen und wird an die Stelle platziert, die als Blinker vorgesehen ist. Der einfallende Lichtstrahl soll auf diese Linien unter einem angenähert rechten Winkel erfolgen. Die Linien versperren die Sicht des Fahrers nicht. Sie sind in der Regel kaum sichtbar. Erst wenn das Licht aus dem Laserstrahler oder den Leuchtdioden auf die Linien einfällt leuchten sie sehr intensiv.The working principle of this indicator is very simple: A light emitter, e.g. a yellow laser diode 1, emits a bundled beam of light that penetrates directly into an edge 2 of the window 3. The light rays 4 are guided through the glass or plastic material like a light guide. The path of the light rays is kept in the window by the total reflection effect. The light rays only leave the glass when the light rays hit an area 5 in the window that causes light refraction or light reflection at a certain angle. The light refractometer can consist of several parallel "cutting lines" 6 and is placed in the place that is intended as the indicator. The incident light beam should hit these lines at an approximately right angle. The lines do not block the driver's view. They are usually barely visible. They only shine very intensely when the light from the laser emitter or the LEDs falls on the lines.
Eine Variante weist mehrere dünne Silberstreifen 7 oder Linien an bestimmten Stellen, die in die Scheibe auf die Stellen integriert sind, die einen Blinker darstellen sollen. Sie reflektieren das Licht aus dem Lichtstrahler auf die Fahrbahn. Auch diese Scheibe ist klar und versperrt den Fahrer-Blick nicht. Auch während des Blinkens, sieht der Fahrer kaum das Licht, obwohl es vor seinen Augen „erzeugt" wird (z.B. auf die Windschutzscheibe).One variant has several thin silver stripes 7 or lines in certain places, which are integrated into the window at the points that are supposed to represent a turn signal. They reflect the light from the headlight onto the road. This window is also clear and does not block the driver's view. Even when the turn signal is being used, the driver hardly sees the light, even though it is "generated" in front of his eyes (e.g. on the windshield).
