Description
Die Kraftfahrzeugindustrie hat die verschiedensten Systeme zur Betätigung von elektrischen Autohupen bzw. -hörnern in Form von Druckknopfschaltern oder sonstigen Schaltern hervorgebracht. Eines dieser Systeme hat beispielsweise die Form eines Druckknopfes, der entweder in der Mitte des Lenkrades oder am Armaturenbrett angebracht ist, während eine andere Form in einem Ring besteht, der irgendwie konzentrisch am Lenkrad angebracht ist. Ohne Rücksicht auf die jeweilige. Ausführungsform ist der Fahrer bei all diesen Schaltern gezwungen, seine Hand vom Lenker wegzunehmen oder seine normale, ihm bequeme Handstellung zu verändern, um den Schalter zu betätigen.The automotive industry has a wide variety of systems for actuation of electric car horns or horns in the form of push-button switches or others Switches spawned. For example, one of these systems is in the form of a Push button either in the middle of the steering wheel or on the dashboard is, while another shape consists in a ring that is kind of concentric attached to the steering wheel. Regardless of the respective. Embodiment is With all these switches, the driver is forced to take his hand away from the handlebars or to change his normal, comfortable hand position to operate the switch.
Die Erfindung verfolgt den Zweck, diese Unbequemlichkeiten zu vermeiden, indem erfindungsgemäß der Schalter zum Schließen und Öffnen des Hornbetätigungsstromes innerhalb des hohlen Lenkradkranzes des Fahrzeugs angebracht ist, wobei die Höhlung des Lenkradkranzes in einen ringförmigen Spalt ausläuft, in welchen der Fahrer zwecks Betätigung des Schalters mit den Fingern hineingreift, ohne seine Hände vom Lenkradkranz wegzunehmen.The invention aims to avoid these inconveniences, by according to the invention the switch for closing and opening the horn actuation current mounted within the hollow steering wheel rim of the vehicle, the cavity of the steering wheel rim runs out into an annular gap, in which the driver for the purpose Operating the switch with your fingers, without taking your hands off the steering wheel rim to take away.
Der Erfindungsgegenstand ist in den Zeichnungen dargestellt, in welchen Fig. i einen Profilschnitt durch den hohlen Lenkradkranz zeigt, Fig. 2 den Lenkradkranz in einer Kreisebene geschnitten zeigt, wobei der Signalstromkreis der Schaltvorrichtung im Lenkradkranz geöffnet ist, Fig. 3 einen Teil des Lenkradkranzes der Fig. 2 zeigt, wobei der Stromkreis geschlossen ist, Fig. 4 und 5 zwei Abwandlungen der in den hohlen Lenkradkranz eingebauten Schaltvorrichtungen zeigen.The subject matter of the invention is illustrated in the drawings, in which Fig. I shows a profile section through the hollow steering wheel rim, Fig. 2 shows the steering wheel rim shows cut in a circular plane, the signal circuit of the switching device is open in the steering wheel rim, Fig. 3 shows part of the steering wheel rim of Fig. 2, the circuit being closed, FIGS. 4 and 5 show two modifications of that shown in FIGS hollow steering wheel rim showing built-in switching devices.
In Fig. i ist zu ersehen, daß ein innen hohler Lenkradkranz A nach außen in einen ringförmigen Spalt A' mündet, der sich über etwa ein Drittel seiner äußeren Querschnittsbegrenzung erstreckt. Gegenüber dem Ringspalt A' befindet sich im Innern des Lenkradkranzes ein Metallkörper C, der einen der Pole des Signalstromkreises darstellt und demzufolge gegen den Lenkradkranz isoliert ist.In Fig. I it can be seen that an internally hollow steering wheel rim A after on the outside into an annular gap A 'which extends over about a third of its outer cross-sectional limitation extends. Located opposite the annular gap A ' Inside the steering wheel rim is a metal body C, which is one of the poles of the signal circuit represents and is therefore isolated from the steering wheel rim.
In die Höhlung des Lenkradkranzes ist eine Anzahl von Ringstücken P aus Isoliermaterial eingebettet, die eine konzentrisch laufende Bohrung 0 mit Schlitz R aufweisen. Ein Metallelement, welches in der Bohrung und in dem Schlitz eingebettet ist, endet in einer flachen oder gekrümmten Oberfläche, die den anderen Pol_ C der Schaltung bildet. Diese Ringstücke P sind innerhalb des Radkranzes des Lenkers in der Richtung S-S' verschiebbar. Der Stromkreis ist geöffnet, solange eine Feder M die Ringstücke P in der Richtung S drückt und so zwischen den Polen C und .C kein Kontakt besteht. Die Feder M hat die Form einer Stahlspirale und ist innerhalb der Bohrung 0 untergebracht. Sie kann übrigens auch die Form eines entsprechend gebogenen Bandstahlstreifens haben.A number of ring pieces P made of insulating material, which have a concentrically running bore 0 with a slot R, are embedded in the cavity of the steering wheel rim. A metal element which is embedded in the bore and in the slot terminates in a flat or curved surface which forms the other pole_ C of the circuit. These ring pieces P can be displaced within the wheel rim of the link in the direction SS '. The circuit is open as long as a spring M presses the ring pieces P in the direction S and so there is no contact between the poles C and C. The spring M has the shape of a steel spiral and is housed within the bore 0. Incidentally, it can also have the shape of a correspondingly curved steel strip.
In Fig. 2 ist der Stromkreis in geöffnetem Zustand zu sehen, während in Fig. 3, in welcher ein Schnitt eines Teiles des Lenkradkranzes gezeigt ist, der Stromkreis an einer Stelle geschlossen ist. Die Ebene des Ringspaltes A' kann entweder senkrecht oder schiefwinklig zur Ebene des Lenkradkranzes verlaufen.In Fig. 2, the circuit can be seen in the open state, while in Fig. 3, in which a section of part of the steering wheel rim is shown, the Circuit is closed at one point. The plane of the annular gap A 'can either run perpendicular or at an oblique angle to the plane of the steering wheel rim.
Fig.4 und 5 endlich stellen dar, daß die Ringstücke P mit dem Kontaktpol C in Fig. i auch durch ein Gummielement G ersetzt werden können, wobei die Feder Meinen der Kontaktpole des Stromkreises bildet.Finally, FIGS. 4 and 5 show that the ring pieces P with the contact pole C in FIG.
