Abstract

A car has red brake lamps and green tail lamps. The red lamps work when the car is stationary. The car does not have the normal red tail lamps. The red lamps also work when the brakes are active and when the headlamps are switched on. The green lamps work when the car is not being braked and the headlamps are on. The red and green lamps only glow alternately.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Kraftfahrzeug mit rot aufleuchtenden, am Heck angeordneten Bremsleuchten.The invention relates to a motor vehicle Red brake lights arranged at the rear.

Wenn Kraftfahrzeuge des Nachts in einer Kolonne fahren, dann sehen die Kraftfahrzeugführer immer - insbesondere in Straßenbiegungen - eine große Zahl von rot leuchtenden Schlußleuchten der voraus fahrenden Kraftfahrzeuge, die zusammen ein aus zahlreichen roten Punkten bestehendes rotes optisches Lichtband ergeben.When motor vehicles drive in a column at night, see the drivers always - especially in bends - a large number of red shining rear lights of those driving ahead Motor vehicles that together consist of numerous red dots result in a red optical light band.

Wenn in diesem roten optischen Lichtband durch Betätigung der Bremsleuch­ ten einzelner Kraftfahrzeuge noch einige weitere rote Lichtpunkte hinzu­ treten, so sind letztere nur schwer erkennbar, da sie im roten optischen Band der Schlußleuchten mehr oder weniger untergehen.If in this red optical light band by pressing the brake light individual red motor vehicles occur, the latter are difficult to see, since they are in the red optical Band of the tail lights more or less go under.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, für die Heckseite eines Kraft­ fahrzeugs eine Kraftfahrzeugbeleuchtung vorzusehen, die Verwechslungen von Bremsleuchten und Schlußleuchten ausschließt und die gewährleistet, daß insbesondere die Gefahr anzeigenden roten Bremsleuchten in einem nicht roten Farbumfeld eindeutig erkennbar sind.The invention has for its object for the rear side of a force to provide vehicle lighting, the confusion from brake lights and tail lights and which ensures that in particular the red brake lights indicating danger in one non-red color environment are clearly recognizable.

Gelöst wird diese Aufgabe nach der Erfindung dadurch, daß das Kraftfahr­ zeug, bei dem rot aufleuchtende, am Heck angeordnete Bremsleuchten vorhan­ den sind, mit grün leuchtenden Schlußleuchten ausgerüstet ist und die Bremsleuchten auch bei stehendem Kraftfahrzeug - bei nicht betätigter Bremse - rot leuchten.This object is achieved according to the invention in that the motor vehicle stuff, with red flashing brake lights at the rear which are equipped with green taillights and the Brake lights even when the motor vehicle is stationary - when not activated Brake - glow red.

Beim Kolonnenfahren von Kraftfahrzeugen während der Dämmerung und in der Nacht sieht ein Kraftfahrer also nur ein grünes Farbband von zahlreichen Schlußleuchten vor sich, die anzeigen, daß keines der Kraftfahrzeuge der Kolonne ein Bremsmanöver durchführt.When driving motor vehicles in the twilight and in the At night, a driver only sees a green ribbon of many Tail lights in front of them, indicating that none of the motor vehicles of the Column performs a braking maneuver.

Wenn aber bei einem oder mehreren Kraftfahrzeugen aufgrund einer Gefahren­ situation ein Bremsmanöver durchzuführen ist, dann leuchten bei dem be­ treffenden Kraftfahrzeug die zwei oder drei am Heck angeordneten Bremsleuch­ ten rot auf, was in dem allgemeinen grünen optischen Farbband unüber­ sehbar auffällt. Hierdurch wird das Gefahrensignal der aufleuchtenden Bremsleuchten auch weiter entfernten Kraftfahrzeugfahrern signalisiert, so daß sich auch diese auf ein eventuell notwendig werdendes eigenes Bremsmanöver vorbereiten bzw. einstellen können.But if one or more motor vehicles due to a hazard situation a braking maneuver has to be carried out, the be hitting motor vehicle the two or three brake lights arranged at the rear  red on what is unremarkable in the general green optical ribbon noticeable. As a result, the hazard signal will light up Brake lights also signal more distant motor vehicle drivers, so that these too may become necessary Prepare or adjust braking maneuvers.

Das Aufleuchten von einzelnen roten Bremsleuchten innerhalb eines optischen grünen Lichtbandes ist ein sehr auffälliges weithin sichtbares Signal, dessen Wahrnehmung und Berücksichtigung die Sicherheit im Straßenverkehr verbessert.The lighting up of individual red brake lights within an optical one green light band is a very conspicuous signal that can be seen from afar, its perception and consideration of road safety improved.

Das grüne Lichtband kann ganz zum Verschwinden gebracht werden, wenn die heckseitige Kraftfahrzeugbeleuchtung so geschaltet ist, daß die roten und grünen Leuchten nur alternativ leuchten.The green light band can be made to disappear completely when the rear automotive lighting is switched so that the red and green lights only light alternatively.
