Abstract

The device has a contact switch arranged inside the gearbox of the vehicle that simultaneously activates the reversing lights and the rear flashers when reverse gear is selected.

Description

Viele Verkehrsunfälle passieren beim Rückwärtsfahren von Kraftfahrzeugen. Bisher wurde das Rückwärtsfahren eines Kraftfahrzeuges durch Aufleuchten der Rückfahrscheinwerfer für weißes Licht beim Einlegen des Rückwärtsganges angezeigt im Sinne des § 52a StVZO. Eine optisch bessere Wahrnehmbarkeit des bevorstehenden oder gerade im Begriffe befindlichen Rückwärtsfahrens eines Kraftfahrzeugs wäre gegeben durch eine zusätzliche Warneinrichtung, die erhöhte Aufmerksamkeit der übrigen Verkehrsteilnehmer beansprucht und damit im Interesse der Allgemeinheit die Gefahren des Rückwärtsfahrens weitergehend einschränkt.Many traffic accidents happen when motor vehicles are reversing. So far was reversing a motor vehicle by lighting the Reversing light for white light displayed when engaging reverse gear within the meaning of § 52a StVZO. A better visual perception of the impending or in the process of reversing a Motor vehicle would be given by an additional warning device that increased Attention of other road users is claimed and therefore in the interest the general public further limits the dangers of reversing.

Die mit der Erfindung erzielten Vorteile bestehen darin, daß zusätzlich zur bisher üblichen Anzeige des Rückwärtsfahrens nun gleichzeitig auch die hinteren Warnblinkleuchten eingeschaltet sind und auf den Rückwärtsfahrvorgang verstärkt aufmerksam machen.The advantages achieved with the invention are that in addition to the previous usual display of reverse driving now also the rear Hazard warning lights are turned on and amplified to reverse to draw attention.

Gerade das Aufleuchten von gelbem Blinklicht im Sinne des § 53a StVZO ist wegen seiner bekannten Warnfunktion geeignet, die Verkehrsteilnehmer zu erhöhter Aufmerksamkeit auf ein sich rückwärts bewegendes Kraftfahrzeug zu veranlassen.Especially the flashing of yellow flashing light in the sense of § 53a StVZO is due its known warning function suitable to increase road users To draw attention to a backward moving motor vehicle.

Die Erfindung bewirkt daher eine zusätzliche Sicherheit sowohl für den Rückwärtsfahrenden als auch für die übrigen Verkehrsteilnehmer.The invention therefore provides additional security for both Reversing as well as for the other road users.

Die Erfindung besteht darin, daß durch einen Kontaktschalter zum Getriebe des Kraftfahrzeugs beim Einlegen des Rückwärtsganges sowohl die Rückfahrscheinwerfer als auch gleichzeitig die hinteren Warnblinkleuchten in Betrieb gesetzt werden.The invention is that by a contact switch for the transmission of the Motor vehicle when inserting the reverse gear both the reversing lights and at the same time the rear hazard lights are put into operation.

Anwendungsbereich ist die Kfz-Branche in Bezug auf mehrspurige Fahrzeuge.The area of application is the motor vehicle industry with regard to multi-lane vehicles.

Der technische Aufwand für die Koordinierung des bisherigen Kontaktschalters für die Rückfahrscheinwerfer mit dem Einschalten der hinteren Warnblinkleuchten erscheint minimal.The technical effort for coordinating the previous contact switch for the Reversing light appears when the rear hazard lights are switched on minimal.
