Description

Bei hohen Geschwindigkeiten, mit denen vor allem auf der Autobahn oder ähnlich breiten Straßen gefahren wird, ist das durch den Gegenverkehr bedingte Fahren mit in üblicher Weise abgeblendeten Scheinwerfern nicht ganz =gefährlich, da der erleuchtete Straßenabschnitt für die große Gesch"vindigkeit des Kraftfahrzeuges ziemlich kurz ist.At high speeds, especially on the motorway or roads with a similar width are driven, this is caused by oncoming traffic Driving with the headlights dimmed in the usual way is not quite = dangerous, because the illuminated street section for the high speed of the motor vehicle is pretty short.

Besonders auf Autobahnen, wo von vorn links auf der eigenen Bahnseite kaiu.m eine Gefahr zu erwarten ist und wo der nicht zu blendende Gegenverkehr ziemlich weit seitlich am eigenen Kraftfahrzeug vorbeiführt, genügt es zum Abblenden, wenn der Scheinwerferkegel nur nach vorn und nach der dem Gegenverkehr albgewandten Straßenseite gerichtet wird.Especially on motorways, where from the front left on your own side of the train kaiu.m a danger is to be expected and where the oncoming traffic is not too dazzling goes far to the side of your own motor vehicle, it is sufficient to dim if the headlight cone only to the front and to the side of the street facing the oncoming traffic is judged.

Die Erfindung hat eine besonders einfache und zweckmäßige Sonderabblendvorrichbung dieser Art zum Gegenstand. Es wird vorgeschlagen, daß beim Betätigen der Sorderabblendvorrichtung der Scheinwerfer .derart geschwenkt wird, d@aß die obere Begrenzungslinie des üblichen Abblend,lichtkegels zu der etwa -in Fahrtrichtung liegen,&n, der Gegenverkehrbahr, zugewandten Begrenzungslinie des Lichtkegels wird.The invention has a particularly simple and expedient special blind device of this kind on the subject. It is proposed that when you operate the Sorder dimming device the headlamp is swiveled in such a way that the upper boundary line of the usual Dimmed, cone of light to which lie approximately in the direction of travel, & n, the oncoming traffic bahr, facing boundary line of the light cone is.

In den meisten Fällen wird die übliche Abblendvorriehtu:ng auch einschaltbar sein müssen.In most cases the usual dimming device can also be switched on must be.

Die Zeichnung zeigt ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung.The drawing shows an embodiment of the invention.

Abb. i zeigt schematisch eine Draufsicht auf einen Autob:ahnaibschnitt; Abb. 2 zeigt in Seitenansicht und Abb. 3 in Draufsicht den Lichtkegel eines in üb-licher Weise abgeblendeten Scheinwerfers; Abb. 4 zeigt .in Seitenansicht und Abb. 5 in ,Draufsiolit derselben Lichtkegel, der in Aibb.2 und 3 dargestellt wurde, nur erfindungsgemäß geschwenkt.Fig. I shows schematically a plan view of a car: ahnaib section; Fig. 2 shows in side view and Figure 3 in plan view of the cone of light of a low-beam in ü b -licher manner headlamp. Fig. 4 shows. In side view and Fig. 5 in, plan view of the same light cone that was shown in Aibb.2 and 3, only pivoted according to the invention.

Mit i ist die eigene Fahrbahn, mit 2 die Überholbahn, mit 3 die Fahrbahn und mit 4 die Überholbahn des Gegenverkehrs bezeichnet. 5 ist ein Kraftfahrzeug mit üblichem Fernlicht. (Begrenzungslnien des Strahlkegels vom linken Scheinwerfer: 6 und 7 ; die entsprechenden vom rechten Scheinwerfer : 8 und 9.) Die Liniengänge 6 und 8 schneiden verhältnismäßig bald die Gegenfahrbahn 3 und haben einen entgegenkommenden Kraftwagen io erheblich geblendet, ehe er etwa auf gleiche Höhe wie ,das Kraftfahrzeug 5 kam.With i is your own lane, with 2 the overtaking lane, with 3 the lane and 4 denotes the overtaking lane of the oncoming traffic. 5 is an automobile with the usual high beam. (Limiting lines of the beam cone from the left headlight: 6 and 7; the corresponding ones from the right headlight: 8 and 9.) The lines 6 and 8 cut the opposite lane 3 relatively soon and have an oncoming one Motor vehicle io blinded considerably before it was about the same height as the motor vehicle 5 came.

Beim Kraftfahrzeug i i hingegen ist die erfindungsgemäße SonderabblendVorrichtung durch Schwenken des üblichenAbblendlichtkegels betätigt worden. Die der Gegenverkehrsseite zugewandten Begrenzungslinien rund 13 der Lichtkegel kreuzen die Fahrbahn 3 erst in einer solchen großen Entfernung, daß dort ein entgegenkommendes Fahrzeug nicht mehr geblendet wird. (Mankönnte dieBegrenzungsl.inien 12 und 13 natürlich auch ganz parallel zur Fahrtrichtung stellen; aber es ist angenehm, ein wenig auch nach links Licht zu haben.) Beim Kraftwaagen der A.bb. 2 bis 5 ist ein Ausfühnun gsbeispielder Erfindung gezeigt, bei dem der übliche Abblendlichtkegel 14 (Kegelwinkel a in der vertikalen Längsschnittebene in Abb.2) für die Sonderabblendstellung in eine neue Stellung geschwenkt wurde.In the case of motor vehicle ii, on the other hand, the special dimming device according to the invention has been actuated by pivoting the usual dipped light cone. The boundary lines facing the oncoming traffic side around 1 3 of the light cones only cross the lane 3 at such a great distance that an oncoming vehicle is no longer dazzled there. (You could of course place the boundary lines 12 and 13 completely parallel to the direction of travel; but it is pleasant to have a little light to the left as well.) 2 to 5 an embodiment of the invention is shown in which the usual low beam cone 14 (cone angle a in the vertical longitudinal sectional plane in Fig. 2) has been pivoted into a new position for the special low beam position.

Die Schwenkung ist durch eine Drehung des Scheinwerfers erreicht -,vorden. DieseDrehungkann gedanklich oder auch wirklich zerlegt werden in eine Drehung um, 9o° um die Längsachse in Fahrtrichtung, im Gegenzeigersinn vom Fahrer aus betrachtet, und in eine Drehung um den Winkel ß um eine senkrechte Hochachse durch den Scheinwerfer, im Gegenzeigersinn von oben gesehen.The swivel is achieved by turning the headlight -, vorden. This rotation can be thought of or actually broken down into a rotation around 9o ° around the longitudinal axis in the direction of travel, viewed from the driver in an anti-clockwise direction, and in a rotation by the angle ß around a vertical axis through the headlight, counter-clockwise viewed from above.

Es ist auch möglich, nur Teile des Scheinwerfers zu schwenken.It is also possible to swivel only parts of the headlight.
