BESCHREIBUNGDESCRIPTION Modell-Fahrzeugblinker-SystemModel vehicle indicator system

Modell-Fahrzeugblinker üblicher Art bestehen aus einer Glühbirne, die hinter einer gelben oder durchsichtigen Abdeckscheibe angebracht ist.Model vehicle indicators of the usual type consist of a light bulb that is mounted behind a yellow or transparent cover.

Der in den Schutzansprüchen 1 bis 15 angegebenen Erfindung liegt das Problem zugrunde ein Blinker-System zu schaffen dessen Licht aus der Heckscheibe des Modell-Fahrzeugs kommt und dass sehr gut sichtbar ist.The invention specified in claims 1 to 15 is based on the problem of creating an indicator system whose light comes from the rear window of the model vehicle and which is very clearly visible.

Dieses Problem wird mit den in den Schutzansprüchen 1 bis 15 aufgeführten Merkmalen gelöst.This problem is solved by the features set out in claims 1 to 15.

Die unsichtbaren Blinker sind am Rand der Scheiben angebracht. Im ausgeschalteten Zustand sind diese Blinker gar nicht wahrzunehmen. Die Scheibe weist mehrere kurze parallele und dünne Linien oder MikroKratzer auf, die fast kaum zu sehen sind. Erst wenn der Blinker eingeschaltet wird, leuchten diese Linien sehr intensiv auf.The invisible indicators are attached to the edge of the windows. 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 3 erläutert. Es zeigen:Embodiments of the invention are explained with reference to Figs. 1 to 3. They show:

Fig. 1 ein Blinker-System mit Laser-Dioden,Fig. 1 a blinker system with laser diodes,

Fig. 2 ein Blinker-System mit LED-s,Fig. 2 a blinker system with LEDs,

Fig. 3 eine Heckscheibe mit Reflektor-Streifen oder Linien.Fig. 3 a rear window with reflector stripes or lines.

Das System besteht aus einem Lichtstrahler, der eine Laser-Diode 1 oder eine herkömmliche intensiv leuchtende Leuchtdiode 2 sein kann. Eine Leuchtdiode ist in der Regel nicht ausreichend. Es sind notwendig mehrere davon z.B. 2 - 10 stück.The system consists of a light emitter, which can be a laser diode 1 or a conventional, intensely luminous light-emitting diode 2. One light-emitting diode is usually not sufficient. Several of them are necessary, e.g. 2 - 10.

Das Arbeitsprinzip dieses Blinkers ist sehr einfach: Ein Lichtstrahler z.B. eine gelbe Laser-Diode strahlt ein gebündelten Lichtstrahl direkt in einen Rand 3 der Scheibe in eine parallele Richtung mit der Scheibe 4. DieThe working principle of this indicator is very simple: A light emitter, e.g. a yellow laser diode, emits a bundled light beam directly into an edge 3 of the disc in a parallel direction with the disc 4.

Lichtstrahlen 5 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 der Lichtstrahl einen Bereich 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 &ldquor;Schnittlinien" 6 bestehen und wird an der 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 Leuchtdioden auf die Linien / Striefen einfällt leuchten sie sehr intensiv.Light rays 5 are guided through the glass or plastic material like a light guide. The path of the light rays is kept in the pane by the total reflection effect. The light rays only leave the glass pane when the light ray hits an area in the pane 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 at the point intended as a turn signal. The incident light ray should hit these lines at an approximately right angle. The lines do not block the driver's view. They are usually barely visible. Only when the light from the laser beam or LEDs falls on the lines/stripes do they shine very intensely.

Eine Variante weist mehrere dünne Silberstreifen 7 oder Linien an bestimmten Stellen auf, die in der Scheibe auf die Stellen integriert sind, die einen Blinker darstellen sollen. Sie reflektieren das Licht aus dem Lichtstrahler auf die Fahrbahn.One variant has several thin silver stripes 7 or lines at certain points, which are integrated into the windscreen at the points that are supposed to represent a turn signal. They reflect the light from the headlight onto the road.

Claims

1. Model vehicle flashing light system, characterized in that it consists of at least

- a light emitter that is hidden or inconspicuously mounted on the edge of the model vehicle window and whose light beam penetrates into the window at one edge with a beam direction that is almost parallel to the window, with the window serving as a light guide,

- a light breaker or light reflector which is fitted into the model vehicle window at a position suitable for use as a turn signal and which directs the light rays guided out of the light emitter by the light-conducting effect of the window at an angle to the outside,

consists.

2. Model vehicle flashing light system according to claim 1, characterized in that the light breaker/light reflector is a mirrored surface or a mirror inconspicuously attached to the window.

3. Model vehicle flashing light system according to claim 1 or 2, characterized in that the mirror surface simply consists of several silver lines or strips which are integrated into the pane and which are at an angle which enables light to be emitted from the interior of the pane to the outside.
