Description

35

The invention relates to a hazard warning light with a flat cuboid housing, which the Dry batteries and the reflector including flashing device, and a set-up device, which guarantees optimum stability when the luminaire is ready for operation and when it is not needed as a space-saving, captive shock protection cover that surrounds the luminaire on all sides serves.

Vehicle-independent hazard warning lights can exposed to rough handling when carried in vehicles. To the light housing to protect against damage with the reflector and the light-diffusing cover and The functional reliability is not adversely affected, all known lights are with a shock protection cover Mistake. These are preferably hood-shaped or bowl-shaped, one-part or multi-part designed as luminaire-independent packaging made of plastic or cardboard.

Luminaire-independent protective hoods or packaging must be removed in the event of use and are therefore often lost, especially when the luminaires are being repaired to be needed.

Furthermore, loose protective hoods or shell-shaped packaging parts are sufficient for the purpose Dimensional rigidity made thick-walled and therefore lead to large luminaire dimensions.

From the field of non-illuminated road reflectors constructions have become known in which the ^c Reflektorsy system and the associated set-up device form a unit.

In the road rector system according to US Pat. No. Z 056 405, the roller system lying in a half-shell is erected and held vertically in the half-shell by means of a resilient lifting system.

The one described in "US Pat. No. 3,077,326, The street reflector, which is unprotected from bumps and falling objects, can be opened arranged within a half-shell. After opening the reflector, however, comes a lot to stand close to one end of the shell, so that its stability is low.

The present invention is based on the task of making the shock protection cover captive as to carry out an integral part of the luminaire construction, including the dimensions of the luminaire including protective cover as space-saving as possible

The object is achieved by the features specified in claim 1.

When using the device as a work (permanent) light To be able to do without exposing the luminaire housing, the two half-shells each have a side recess for the light output of a second incandescent lamp intended as an additional light and for the electric one Switch provided.

The continuous light is preferably at right angles to the flashing light on the narrow side of the hazard warning light arranged. This additional built-in white light enables it to be used as a work and Breakdown light.

The two half-shells are made of plastic or Metal, preferably made from the former, and rotatably attached to the lamp housing.

They are in the unfolded state by means of elastic spring elements, preferably made of soft plastic or rubber, and can also be locked by means of a slide.

In the drawings, the invention is shown schematically as follows:

F i g. 1 shows the side view of the hazard warning light with the light exit opening of the work light (Permanent light) and closed half-shells;

Fi g. 2 shows the side view of the lamp with folded down Half-shells in hazard warning position; the flashing takes place in the direction of the folded half-shells;

3 shows a partial section with the half-open shells and their resilient locking elements;

Fig. 4 shows a partial section with the fully opened Half shells.

There is one embodiment of the hazard warning lights from the lamp housing 1, which also includes the battery area, with a reflector and the Work light 10 surrounding transparent cover 2 and the two half-shells 3 'and 4 of the Protective housing, each with a lateral recess 11 for the light exit of the work light are provided in the folded state With 9, the switch is designated by its actuation the light can be switched on with a flashing or steady light or for a battery check.

The ones on the preferably at the foot of the narrow sides

pivot points of the luminaire housing 5 and 6 stored shells 3 and 4 each have four l'utferelcmente 7, of which two each due to their rubber-elastic adjustment when fully unfolded The flashing light acts as a lock.

The locking slide 8 can also be pushed over the pivot points 5 and 6 and sets the Shells J and 4 of the Schut / gchäuscs as a stable support immovably fixed.

In a preferred embodiment, the battery area of the housing 1 accommodates five rod-shaped dry batteries. The part of one of the two rectangular sides, which parallel extend on the dry batteries plane formed for ^l 'is removably disposed in the housing Batterieliereich. This removable cover allows the batteries to be inserted in a reliable manner, whereby a visual inspection can be carried out at the same time as the electrical flash test with the light open. It has proven to be advantageous that the battery is shaped. that a ['rock batteries -: r-

Due to the flat, book-like 1-form, the Accommodation of the Wan, flashing light in the map pocket next to the driver's seat, in the glove compartment, between the front seats or under the seats possible, so that the luminaire fin the warning case or for the Rouunedberprüfuny, is within easy reach. The book-like design ensures that it is very easy to handle, so that no special handles are required can be.
