Abstract

The invention relates to an engine bonnet and engine compartment of the future, provided with all kinds of useful incorporated fluorescent lights or lamps. The Figure 1 shows a car the bonnet of which is open. On the inside of the bonnet, a row of fluorescent lights (2) is mounted on a movable guide strip (3, 4). The fluorescent lights are provided with a dust cover. The Figure 3 shows a fluorescent light (2) fastened in the engine compartment (1A), which can be pivoted, inserted and removed. The Figure 4 shows an insertable and removable fluorescent light (2) provided with scissor-type articulated arms (12) and a dust cover. The Figure 5 shows a fluorescent fastened in the engine compartment (1A) having an integrated telescopic control. The Figures 6 and 7 show the bonnet of a heavy motor vehicle, provided with halogen spot lights which are controlled by electricity, and can consequently be retracted and swung out. Said halogen spot lights can also be used to illuminate in an optimum manner the engine compartment during a break-down in the dark.

Description

Motorraumbeleuchtuπα für PKW's und LKW's vorgesehen. Engine compartment lighting intended for cars and trucks.

Wenn man mit dem herkömmlichen neuen PKW oder LKW auf einer unbeleuchteten Freilandstraße nachts unterwegs ist, und auf einmal der Motor streikt, oder sonst ein kleiner Defekt das ungewollte Stehenbleiben des Kraftfahrzeuges durch eine Panne erzwingt. Kann leider noch heute bei Dunkelheit auch die kleinste Panne nicht selbst behoben werden. Denn der Motorraum der herkömmlichen PKWs und LKWs sind leider nicht beleuchtbar ausgerüstet vorgesehen. Fast jeder zweite Kraftfahrer führt zwar eine Taschenlampe mit aber die Batterie wird von Zeit zu Zeit immer schwächer, und somit ist die Taschenlampe für den Kraftfahrer fast unbrauchbar bei dem Gebrauch einer Pannenhilfe in der Dunkelheit. Um dieses Problem zu beseitigen wurde, von mir einige Modelle von Notlampen bzw. Hawerielampen im Motorraum und in der Motorhaube eingebaut angeordnet.If you drive the conventional new car or truck on an unlit outdoor road at night, and suddenly the engine strikes, or otherwise a small defect forces the motor vehicle to stop unintentionally due to a breakdown. Unfortunately, even in the dark, even the smallest glitch cannot be fixed by yourself. Because the engine compartment of conventional cars and trucks is unfortunately not provided with lighting. Almost every second driver carries a flashlight, but the battery gets weaker from time to time, making the flashlight almost unusable for the driver when using a breakdown service in the dark. In order to eliminate this problem, I arranged some models of emergency lamps or harness lamps installed in the engine compartment and in the bonnet.

Maße des Führungsrades R=3,5mm φ DM=5,5 mm. Somit ist die Führungsleiste mit den Leuchtstofflampen beweglich ausgerüstet, und kann mit Hilfe der vorgesehen Führungsschiene (Bez.4) je nach Wunsch an die gewünschte Reparierstelle bzw. HAVERIESTELLE geschoben werden. Um ein verrutschen der Führungsleiste (Bez.3) mit den montierten Leuchtstofflampen (Bez.2) zu verhindern, wurde LINKS und RECHTS an der Außenkannte je eine Feststellschraube zur Fixierung angeordnet siehe (Bez.6). Mit Hilfe der Feststell¬ schraube kann die Führungsleiste (Bez.3) je nach Bedarf verstellt werden, somit kann jede Stelle im Motorraum im Falle eines Defekts optimal in der Dunkelheit ausgeleuchtet werden» Um ein Verstauben der Leuchtstofflampen zu verhindern wurden die Leuchtstofflampen auch mit einer Staubabdeckklappe vorgesehen siehe Fig.2 und Fig.4 (Bez.7) zeichnerisch dargestellt. Weiters wurden noch folgende Modelle von Leuchtstofflampen im Motorhaube, und Motorraum eingebaut vorge¬ sehen. Siehe Fig.3 bis Fig.6 Die Fig.3 - Fig.6 zeigt den Motorraum Bez.1A auch in geöffneter Darstellung. Die Fig.3 zeigt eine im Motorraum befestigte Leuchtstoff¬ lampe (Bez.2), mit ein und ausziehbaren Gelenksarmen (siehe Bez.8). Das (Bez.9) zeigt die Befestigungs-vorsichtung. Um die Leuchtstofflampe optimal zum Aus¬ leuchten des Motorraum einzusetzen wurde die Leuchtstofflampe siehe (Bez.11 ) auch mit einem Drehgelenk vorgesehen. Das (Bez.10) zeigt den EIN und AUS - SCHALTER bei der Lampe oben. Die Fig.4 zeigt auch eine ein und ausziehbare Leuchtstofflampe, (Bez.2) mit ein und ausziehbaren Scheerengelenksarmen siehe (Bez.12).

Thus, the guide bar is equipped with the fluorescent lamps so that it can move and can be pushed to the desired repair point or HAVERIESTELLE using the guide rail provided (ref. 4). In order to prevent the guide bar (ref. 3) from slipping with the mounted fluorescent lamps (ref. 2), a locking screw was arranged on the left and right for fixing purposes (see ref. 6). With the help of the locking screw, the guide bar (ref. 3) can be adjusted as required, so that any point in the engine compartment can be optimally illuminated in the dark in the event of a defect Dust cover flap provided see Fig. 2 and Fig. 4 (Ref.7) shown in the drawing. Furthermore, the following models of fluorescent lamps were provided in the bonnet and engine compartment.
