Abstract

A foot mat comprises an invisible external electrical source or an internal source such as a battery, and a light diode, lamp or laser in the mat. The light is spread using light wave guides, to produce a surface light effect. The mat is held in place using holders, and the holders contain electrical contacts which form a connection to a control unit. The latter enables the mat to be illuminated as required.

Description

Die Neuerung betrifft eine Fußmatte der im Oberbegriff des Anspruches (1) genannten Art. Fußmatten jeglicher Art sind frei im Handel erhältlich, außer selbstleuchtende Fußmatten. In der Regel findet man diese im Kfz-Bereich als Fußbodenschoner oder vor Ein- und Ausgangstüren als Schmutzabtreter. Die Erneuerung liegt daher der Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Fußmatte genannter Art zu schaffen, welche das Bedürfnis befriedigt, dem Publikum eine angenehme Atmosphäre zu schaffen. Diese Aufgabe wird gemäß der Neuerung, durch den Gegenstand des Anspruches (1), gelöst. Neuerungsgemäße Weiterbildungen und vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen. Weitere Merkmale, Einzelheiten, Anwendungsmöglichkeiten sowie Vorteile der Erneuerung ergeben sich aus nachfolgender Beschreibung, einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform sowie aus einer beigefügten einzigen Figur, einer Zeichnung. Eine Fußmatte (1), handelsüblicher Art und Form, ist mit einer nicht sichtbaren, extern angelegten Stromquelle versehen. Unter bedingten Voraussetzungen kann eine interne Stromquelle genutzt werden, wie z. B. eine Batterie oder ähnliches. In der Fußmatte (1) ist eine Lichtquelle (2), die aus einer Leuchtdiode, Glühlampe, Lasertechnik oder dergleichen besteht, angeordnet. Mit Hilfe von Lichtwellenleitern (3), in der Oberfläche der Fußmatte, wird eine optisch optimale Verbreitung der Lichtquelle (2) garantiert. Zur Weiterleitung bzw. Produktion des erwünschten Lichteffektes an der Oberfläche der Fußmatte können lichtdurchlässige Materialien, wie z. B. Gummi (4), Silikon, Acryl oder ähnliches verwendet werden. Die Fußmatte ist durch Fußmattenhalterungen (5), z. B. Druckknöpfe, befestigt. Im unteren Teil der Halterungen, sind Stromkontakte (5) integriert, welche dann mit Hilfe von Leitungen die Verbindung zum Steuergerät (6) gewährleisten. Durch das Steuergerät (6) kann dann im Fußbereich die Beleuchtung der Fußmatte je nach Bedarf manuell geregelt werden. Das Steuergerät (6) hat die Aufgabe die Spannung, die Verzögerung, die Helligkeit sowie auch verschiedene ansteuerbare Kfz-Funktionen, wie z. B. Aktivierung der Fußmattenbeleuchtung beim Einschalten des Abblendlichtes, zu regeln.The innovation relates to a floor mat of the type mentioned in the preamble of claim (1). Floor mats of any type are freely available in stores, except for self-illuminating floor mats. As a rule, these can be found in the automotive sector as floor protectors or in front of entrance and exit doors as dirt traps. The renewal is therefore based on the task of creating a floor mat of the type mentioned which satisfies the need to create a pleasant atmosphere for the public. This object is achieved according to the innovation by the subject of claim (1). Further developments and advantageous refinements result from the subclaims. Further features, details, possible applications and advantages of the renewal result from the following description, a preferred embodiment and from an attached single figure, a drawing. A doormat ( 1 ), commercial type and shape, is provided with an invisible, externally applied power source. Under certain conditions, an internal power source can be used, e.g. B. a battery or the like. In the doormat ( 1 ) is a light source ( 2 ), which consists of a light emitting diode, incandescent lamp, laser technology or the like. With the help of optical fibers ( 3 ), in the surface of the doormat, an optically optimal distribution of the light source ( 2 ) guaranteed. To forward or produce the desired light effect on the surface of the doormat translucent materials such. B. rubber ( 4 ), Silicone, acrylic or the like can be used. The doormat is supported by doormat holders ( 5 ), e.g. B. snaps attached. In the lower part of the brackets, current contacts ( 5 ) integrated, which then connects to the control unit using cables ( 6 ) guarantee. By the control unit ( 6 ) the lighting of the doormat in the foot area can then be controlled manually as required. The control unit ( 6 ) has the task of voltage, delay, brightness as well as various controllable vehicle functions, such as. B. Activating the doormat lighting when switching on the low beam to regulate.

Momentaner technischer Stand der Kfz-Fußraumbeleuchtung und der FußmatteCurrent technical Status of vehicle footwell lighting and the doormat

In nicht allen Fahrzeugtypen findet man eine Fußraumbeleuchtung. Sie ist dann unter normalen Voraussetzungen im Fußraumbereich an der linken oder rechten Seite angeordnet. Die normalen Fußbodenbeleuchtungen sind nicht beliebig steuerbar. In verschiedenen Fällen ist diese mit der Innenraumbeleuchtung oder eventuell mit dem Abblendlicht gekoppelt. Somit kann man auch nicht individuell entscheiden, zu welchem Zeitpunkt die Fußraumbeleuchtung ein- oder ausgeschaltet sein soll. Der optische Effekt der Fußraumbeleuchtung wird durch Hindernisse, wie z. B. Beine und Füße beeinträchtigt. Im Tuningbereich (Design) werden Fahrzeugtypen mit verschiedenster Technik nachgerüstet, so auch die Fußraumbeleuchtung, um einen besser ausgeleuchteten Fußraumbereich bzw. ein außergewöhnliches Design zu erlangen. Um ein außergewöhnliches Design zu schaffen, werden verschiedene Methoden verwendet, wie z. B. eine farblich bearbeitete Fußmatte, welche unter UV-Licht leuchtend reagiert.Not found in all vehicle types one a footwell lighting. It is then under normal conditions in the footwell area arranged on the left or right side. The normal floor lighting cannot be controlled at will. In various cases this with the interior lighting or possibly with the low beam coupled. So you can not decide individually, too what time the footwell lighting should be on or off. The optical effect of footwell lighting is prevented by obstacles such. B. Legs and feet impaired. In the tuning area (design) vehicle types are retrofitted with various technologies, so also the footwell lighting, a better illuminated footwell area or an unusual design to get. To an extraordinary Various methods are used to create design, such as z. B. a colored doormat, which reacts brightly under UV light.

Zum jetzigen Zeitpunkt ist es nicht möglich eine selbstleuchtende Fußmatte im Handel zu erwerben.At the moment, it is not possible one self-illuminating doormat to purchase commercially.

Durch die selbstleuchtende Fußmatte ergeben sich neue Perspektiven und Vorteile. Es wird im Vorfeld schon die Beeinträchtigung der Leuchtintensivität reduziert, da das Licht aus der gesamten Fußmatte von unten nach oben in den gesamten Fußraumbereich wiedergegeben wird. Die selbstleuchtende Fußmatte ist individuell steuerbar und auch für jeden Benutzer leicht zu bedienen. Ebenso wird durch sie im Fahrzeug eine außergewöhnliche Atmosphäre geschaffen und dem optischen Design sind keine Grenzen gesetzt.Result from the self-illuminating floor mat new perspectives and advantages. It will be in advance impairment the light intensity reduced because the light from the entire doormat from bottom to top in the entire footwell area is played. The self-illuminating floor mat can be controlled individually and also for everyone User easy to use. It also becomes a vehicle extraordinary the atmosphere created and there are no limits to the optical design.
