LIGHTING AND SAFETY DEVICE FOR SHIPS

The invention relates to a lighting and safety device for ships, which consists of several functional elements - hereinafter referred to as modules - and which can fulfill different tasks, individually or simultaneously, at the option of the operator in different constellations. It is mainly intended for smaller vessels used in the leisure sector, in particular sports boats, sailing yachts or sailboats and motor boats.

Such ships are usually operated only temporarily and by leisure - boaters. For safety and comfort, many electrical devices have to be provided which, in sum, are costly and confusing. These devices are: navigation lights (white, red, green) according to rules of size and type of vessel, anchor light and anchor alarm for non-land-based vessels, radio and navigation equipment, deck lighting, and finally comfort facilities such as Fridge, air conditioning, radio etc.

A particularly problem is their power supply when the ship is in port or outside anchor and during longer trips. This requires batteries on board, whose capacity is limited. They are either charged on land via chargers using shore power or via the alternator of a drive or auxiliary motor. The above many consumers place high demands on the capacity of the batteries. Although the night via switched-on lighting needs little power thanks to modern light sources (such as LEDs), it is often forgotten to switch it off during the day.

It is known from practice, to use additional electricity on the ship solar cells, wind or tow generators, but these are to be connected via long lines with a charger on the battery. Consumers are known in various embodiments per se and in a single arrangement. Apart from the compatibility of all these consumers in terms of voltage, plug contacts, etc., for all these consumers long, confusing and permanently fixed to the ship line connections to the battery required. These are particularly prone to failure under difficult conditions at sea.

It is therefore an object of the invention to avoid all these disadvantages and to provide an adaptable to the respective tasks and regulations unit without external line connections, which is inexpensive, clear and also able to be operated independently.

According to the invention with the first claim forming measures is achieved. This makes it possible to combine various lighting modules (position lights, anchor light, deck lighting), various power source modules (accumulator with charge controller, batteries, solar element, charger for shore power) and various security modules as needed and in different order to form a unit that as a unit on the ship (about the mast) can be attached. It requires no external line connections and can also be used autonomously, for example as a flashlight.

The individual modules are provided, depending on their nature, either with two detachable forehead parts (one male and one female) or with only one male or female forehead. The latter, for example, in a lamp whose one end part is designed as a light exit surface, so that only the other end part is provided with coupling parts and contacts. Such a module is therefore arranged at several juxtaposed modules at the front or rear end of the unit.

An essential aspect of the invention is that the end parts of the modules are designed as a coupling to the mechanical connection and that contacts are provided which occur in a successful connection in the coupling.

For this purpose, form the hulls of the modules at their end portions either a plug connection or a bayonet connection. When mating or screwing the bayonet connection and the contacts are made. In this simplest embodiment of the invention, individual modules can be switched off and on by means of switches arranged on the outside of their shells.

In a first embodiment of the invention, at least one of the modules has a third continuous current conductor, which forms contacts in both end regions. These only come into direct contact with the contacts of the subsequent module if the latter has a corresponding contact. The third conductor allows the insertion of a switching module between a power source module and a lighting module. The switching module may be a twilight switch or an anchor alarm module. The former ensures that the light is switched off and on automatically depending on the time of day. The armature alarm module will turn on a warning light when the armature is torn off and will emit an acoustic signal.

In a second embodiment of the invention, at least one of the modules on a third and a fourth from one end face to the other continuous conductor. Their contacts on the end parts only come into contact with the corresponding contact of the end part of a subsequent module when the two modules are brought from a first position (in particular a rotational position) into a second position. This eliminates the need for switches on the covers of the modules. This alone is an advantage as external switches, especially under difficult conditions at sea, are prone to failure and expensive.

Preferably, the formation of the coupling as a rotary switch in a particular arrangement and training of the contacts. The pins or recesses for the connection of the first, second and fourth current conductors are formed so that they are in contact regardless of the relative rotational position of the adjoining modules. For this purpose, a pin central is arranged and extended a contact in the direction of rotation. The pins or recesses for the connection of the third conductor are arranged so that they only come into contact with the rotary position in contact.

Thanks to the third and fourth conductor switching modules can be arranged so that they beschalte not directly subsequent modules. In a further development, the sheaths of the modules are designed as the fourth continuous current conductor, which means a considerable simplification. The third and fourth conductors may be interconnected via an end module that only serves that connection and the tight termination.

In the case of the formation of the coupling of the modules by means of a bayonet, the pins of the one module engage in slots in the adjoining module whose circumferentially extending parts have two notches, one for the switched-on and one for the switched-off position. So the two switch positions are fixed and lockable.

The features of the invention allow the compilation of modules to units in which several functions are summarized. Particularly great freedom in the composition and therefore many possibilities, both in the composition and in the order of arrangement arise in the second embodiment of the invention.

A particularly advantageous for smaller sailboats unit consists of a power source module, a switching module, a light module and an end module. In this case, the current source module, for example, an accumulator whose one pole is connected to the first conductor and whose other pole is connected to the second and the third conductor. The fact that the switching module in the on position establishes the connection between the first and the third - and possibly also the fourth - conductor or interrupts, he does not need to connect directly to the light module. It can be arranged in between other modules and even several more modules are beschältet by him. The light module and any other modules then need to be connected only to the first and the third relationship as fourth conductor. In this case, the third and fourth current conductors are connected to one another via an end module. Preferably, the fourth conductor is the shell of the modules. The end module forms at the same time termination and sealing.

The switching module may be a twilight switch that closes at dusk and opens at dawn. For this purpose, it contains a photosensitive element, for example a selenium cell whose output signal triggers the switching process. Due to the interruption of the second conductor of the twilight switch schall also not directly adjacent modules.

The unit according to the invention may also contain a plurality of switching modules. These can, depending on the compilation, be expressed in Boolean algebra and produce an AND or an OR combination. The or another switch module may also be an armature alarm containing a line connected to the first and second conductors internal circuit containing an acoustic signal and a switching element for interrupting the internal circuit, said switching element closes the circuit when pulling on a control line. If the internal circuit is connected to the third conductor, a light signal of a non-directly adjoining lamp can be triggered when the signal generator responds.

There may be provided a plurality of different power source modules, which is connected to a pole with the first and with the second pole to the second and the third conductor. Always provide either a battery module or an accumulator module. During the day, a solar module (= solar module) is sufficient as a power source. The accumulator module is equipped with a charge controller and a port for external connection. This connection is used to charge the accumulator with shore power and / or it is designed to charge small devices (such as a mobile phone) as a USB socket. Charge controller and / or USB socket can also be provided in another module, or even be a separate module.

As a further power source module, the unit may additionally comprise a solar module whose photovoltaic elements are line connected according to their polarity with the first and the second conductor. These can charge the accumulator module or external small consumers with appropriate attachment of the unit. This is especially beneficial on long trips without shore leave.

Preferably, the switch of the Ankeralarmmoduls consists of a pivotable about an axis outer shift lever and an insulated inside the sheath fixed tab, both of which are equipped with magnets, one inside and one outside the shell. The two magnets work together through the shell so that it does not need to be broken. As a result, the sealing problems otherwise avoided in Ankeralarmvorrichtungen. When the lever is deflected by pulling on the anchor alarm line, the magnet of the lever engages and pulls the tongue, which closes the circuit and triggers the alarm. Similarly, a motion detector could act as a burglar alarm.

In the context of the invention, the light module can also undergo a special design according to claim 21: The interaction of the concave mirror, the two refractive body with conical interfaces, of which a refractive body is axially displaceable allows optional use as a position light or deck lighting.

In the context of the invention, the solar module between the male and the female end region may be surrounded by an axis-normal base plate which is equipped with photovoltaic elements (92). Because both end regions are formed, there is some freedom in the arrangement of the solar module. A foldable base plate makes it possible to bring the solar module into a rest position, in which the photovoltaic elements are protected.

In the following the invention will be described and explained with reference to figures. In the figures: Fig. 1: an illumination and safety device according to the invention, without

In Fig. 1, the mast 1 and the Stag 2 of a sailing yacht can be seen. The hull below it is not shown. A device 3 according to the invention is suspended on the stand 2 by means of a cable suspension 4 and / or fastened to the mast 1 by means of a clamp 5. The device 3 consists of any number of modules, here five.

In Fig. 2a, the device according to the invention in its simplest form consists of three modules, a light module 6, a switching module 7, a battery module 8 and an end module 9. In place of the battery module 8, a battery module, not shown, can occur. The module 7 is provided with an externally operable switch 10. In the circuit diagram of FIG. 2b, a first (11) and a second continuous current conductor 12 can be seen, each extending from a rear female end portion 13 to a front male end portion 14. Here, the conductor 12 is interrupted by the switch 10. The line connection between two modules is made here by plug contacts, a pin 15 and a socket 16. The end module 9 is here only a lid without line connection. He is omitted in the further illustrations.

Fig. 3a shows the circuit diagram of a first variant with three conductors. To the first and second current conductors 11,12 occurs here a third continuous current conductor 20 which is connected in the same way by plug contacts 15,16 with the subsequent modules 6,8. In module 8, the battery voltage is applied between the first (11) and the third current conductor 20, which is connected via a further externally operable switch 21 to the second current conductor 12. When both switches 21 and 10 are closed, the lighting module 6 lights up. In the arrangement of FIG. 3a, the two switches form a logical AND connection. In the arrangement of FIG. 3b, the two switches 10 * and 21 form an OR operation.

4 shows the circuit diagram of a second variant with four conductors. To the conductors 11, 12 and 20, the fourth continuous current conductor 24, which is connected via the end module 25 to the second current conductor 12 occurs. The fourth conductor 24 allows the connection of several or non-adjacent modules. Thus, with the switch 10 of the switching module 7 of the non-adjacent lighting module 6 and optionally another module 27 are beschältet with another consumer. If another module 26 is a twilight switch, it can form an AND link together with the switch 10 of the switching module 7.

Fig. 5 shows how two adjacent modules can be mechanically interconnected. The modules have a preferably cylindrical shell 30,31. In the embodiment of FIG. 5, the rear female end portion 13 of the module 7 and the front male end portion 14 of the module 8 form a plug connection. For this purpose, the shell 31 has a projecting collar 32 which is attached to a narrowed edge zone 33 of the shell 30. When mated, the pins 34, 35 and 36 make contact with corresponding protrusions on the female rear region of the module 7. These formations are in the simplest case cans, in the manner of a conventional plug-in contact.

However, the plug connection between two modules can also be designed as a switch, which is actuated by turning or moving a module relative to the adjacent module. Then, the pins in Fig. 5 are formed as follows: pin 35 of the first conductor 11 is located at the center of the front end portion of the module 8 and inserted in a central sleeve 38 in the rear end portion of the module 7 and therefore connects independently of the rotational position. The pin 34 of the third conductor 20 touches a circumferentially extended sliding contact 37 and therefore also connects independently of the rotational position. The pin 36 of the second conductor 12 contacts a punctiform contact 39, but only when the rotational position is turned on. If a fourth conductor 24 is present, this is expedient at the same time the shell 30, 31 of the module, so that by mating two modules a permanent connection is made.

Fig. 6 is another possible embodiment of the mechanical connection as a bayonet connection. The zone of reduced diameter 133 of the sheath 130 has at least one, preferably two, radially projecting warts 134, which engage in mating first in longitudinal slots 135 of the sheath 131 and subsequently by turning in circumferential slots 136.

In a development according to FIG. 7 for the variant with four current conductors and switching function, the peripheral slots 136 have two detents 137, 138, in which the warts 134 engage and thus hold the respective rotational position; into the closed switch detents 137 and into and for the intermittent switch detents 138. In these latches 137, 138, the warts are pressed by an unillustrated pressure-elastic element, such as a compression spring.

Fig. 8 shows the switching function by relative rotation of the connection of the two modules 7 and 8 in Fig. 5 in front view. The dashed circle 13 symbolizes the shell of the module 7 with its rear end part, in which the contacts 37, 38 and 39 are arranged as shown in FIG. 5 and connected to the respective current conductors 11,12,20,24. The flat ellipses 40, 40 * symbolize the front end region of the module 8 with its pins 34, 35 and 36; the dot-dashed ellipse 40 in the off and the dotted ellipse 40 * in the on position. The position of the pin 34 with the switch closed is designated 34 *. Instead of the extended in the circumferential direction contact 37 of FIG. 5 are here two

Contacts 37 'and 37 * provided.

The principle of an anchor alarm is explained with reference to FIG. 9. The yacht, whose hull 40 is only indicated, is determined by means of an anchor, not shown. An anchor alarm line 41 connects a weight at the bottom of the body of water with an anchor alarm module 43 having a mechanical switch 50. When the yacht (about night, when the crew sleeps) breaks loose, pulls the underlying weight 42 on the leash 41 and actuates the switch, thus triggering the anchor alarm.

The armature alarm module 43 is here part of a device 3 according to the invention, which further consists of a deck lighting module 44, a position light module 45, a twilight switch module 46, an accumulator module 47 and a solar module 48. Thanks to the four continuous current conductors, the twilight switching module 46 can shade the cover lighting module 44 and the position light module 45. The solar module 48 charges the accumulator module 47 during the day.

FIG. 10 shows a circuit diagram of the armature alarm module 43. An alarm siren 53 is connected via a line 51 to the first current conductor 11 and via a line 52 to the second current conductor 12. The latter is interrupted by the switch 50. By pulling on the line 41 it is closed, causing the alarm is triggered. Another line 54 may be provided to simultaneously trigger a light signal with the siren 53. The cover illumination module 44 is fed by the first and third current conductors and the twilight switch module 46 also switches on the third conductor 20. In this way, an AND connection can be established for the anchor alarm by means of the additional light alarm.

The switch 50 of the armature alarm module 43 will now be described with reference to FIGS. 11a and 11b. It contains the current conductors 11, 12, 20, 24, 51 and 54, as described with reference to FIG. 10. Inside the shell 30, a resilient tongue 61 is attached at one end via an insulating restraint 63 and connects the conductor 52 to the conductor 12. Its other end carries a first magnet 62, which in the rest position (FIG. 11 a) does not touch the contact 64, which is fastened in an insulated manner on the inside of the shell 30. This contact 64 is connected to the alarm siren 53 via a switch connection line 60 and the current conductor 20.

On the outside of the shell 30, an axis 66 and a pivotable about this lever 67 is attached. The shift lever 67 has near the axis 66 on its back facing away from the shell 30, a third magnet 69 and at its end facing away from the axis 66 a sleeve 30 facing fourth magnet 70. Further, the lever 67 has a formation 68 (here a notch), in which the anchor alarm line 41 is mounted. In the rest position (FIG. 11 a), the shift lever 67 is fixed by the attraction force of a second magnet 65 inside the case 30. The shell 30 does not need an opening because the two magnets cooperate despite the wall therebetween.

When pulling on the anchor alarm line 41, the shift lever is torn against the attractive force between the magnets 65 and 70 from the position of Fig. 11a and enters the position of Fig. 11b. In this position, the third magnet 69 is so close to the shell 30 that it attracts the first magnet 62 through the shell and thus closes the switch 50. Then the siren 53 sounds and it is, because of the connection via the conductor 20, a not directly adjacent lighting module (45 in Fig. 9) is turned on.

In Fig. 12a, the lighting module 6 is shown schematically in its simplest form. The light source 82, preferably an LED, is fed by the current conductors 11, 12. It can, as described with reference to FIG. 13, emit their light both in the direction of the optical axis 84 and radially.

In Fig. 12b, the light module 44 is shown with four conductors 11, 12, 20 and 24 in two embodiments. The light source 82 is again fed by the conductors 11,12. In the first variant, the light source 82 is arranged in the end region of the module, in the second variant the light source 82 * is accommodated in a laterally projecting tube 44 *.

This variant is intended for the horizontal attachment of the device according to the invention.

Fig. 13 shows the configuration of the lighting module 6 for optional use as position light or deck lighting. In the front region of the shell 79 of the module, a concave mirror 80 is attached. In the optical axis 84, a first refractive body 81 is guided longitudinally displaceable. It contains in the axis 84, the light source 82 with their current conductors 11,12 and ends in a concave conical surface 83. At this position, the light beams are refracted in the position of Fig. 13a, radiated all around in the radial direction and further through light exit window 88. The light exit surface 89 from the (naturally transparent) first refraction body 81 may be cambered. The light exit windows 88 are housed in an axially displaceable annular sleeve 87 and may be formed as a single lenticular window in different colors or as a circumferential lenticular zone. This is the position as position light, in which only a small part of the light radiates downwards. Thus, it can be seen from deck whether the position light is burning.

In the position of FIG. 13b, the annular sleeve 87 and the first refractive body 81 are displaced inwards in the axial direction, so that a second refraction body 85 rests with its convex conical surface 86 against the concave conical surface 83. At the mutually contacting conical surfaces 83, 86, a majority of the light beams pass into the second refraction body 85 and are emitted by the latter in the axial direction, which is indicated by dashed lines. In this position, the light module of the deck lighting or as a flashlight.

In Fig. 14, an achsnormale base plate 91 equipped with photovoltaic elements 92 is attached to the shell 90 of the solar module 48 so that the photovoltaic elements 92 are on the same side of the base plate as the female face region of the module. An end module 25 is plugged onto this when the solar module is arranged at the upper end of the entire device, as also illustrated in FIG. 9. Correspondingly, the battery module 47, the armature alarm module 43 and the lighting module 44 can be found underneath. The base plate 91 can be folded on hinges 95 on both sides, as can be seen on the left side. On the real side of FIG. 14, the base plate 91 is unfolded, the solar module is in the operating position.

Fig. 15 shows the circuit diagram of a device with the conductors 11, 12, 20 and 24 in the second variant of FIG. 4. It is composed of the following modules, from top to bottom: end module 25, solar module 48, Twilight switch module 46 (26 in Fig. 4), battery module 47 (8 in Fig. 4), anchor alarm module 43 and light module 44. The end module 25 connects the second (12) with the fourth conductor 24. The solar module 48 is connected to the first (11 ) and the third conductor 20 in conjunction. The battery module 47 is also in communication with the first (11) and third power conductors 20. The armature alarm module 43 is connected as shown in FIG. The light-emitting module 44 is connected here to the current conductors 12 and 20.
