Abstract

A steering ring (1) is fitted over a cylinder which revolves around a rigid centre shaft on two ball-bearings. A gear ring is located on the cylinder at the bottom and meshes with a toothed wheel on the steering linkage. At the upper end of the shaft there is a round control panel with knobs, control lamps, digital indicators, a message and number band and a viewing screen. The steering wheel lock engages in the shaft if it is activated. To do this the steering ring must be lifted, and after releasing the lock the steering wheel falls back into the in-use position.

Description

Kraftfahrzeug-TechnikMotor vehicle technology

Das Lenkrad ist aus einem Stück. Die Achse dreht sich mit, wenn man das Lenkrad am Lenkradring faßt und es um die Achse dreht, um das Fahrzeug zu steuern.
The steering wheel is one piece. The axis rotates when you grab the steering wheel on the steering wheel ring and turn it around the axis to control the vehicle.

  • a. Die Bedienungselemente des Fahrzeugs sind vor dem Fahrersitz weit verstreut: auf der Konsole in der Mitte vor den Sitzen, am Armaturenbrett, am Fenster die Verriegelung und teilweise am Boden.a. The controls of the vehicle are in front scattered widely in the driver's seat: on the console in the In the middle of the seats, on the dashboard, at the window Locking and partially on the floor.
  • b. Eventuell läßt sich eine neue Diebstahlsicherung erreichen.b. A new anti-theft device can possibly be achieved.
  • c. Besonders wichtig ist eine Stelle, an der man die Knöpfe oder Tasten der Schaltung für Gänge oder Automatik so unterbringt, daß man nicht vom Lenkrad weggreifen muß.c. It is particularly important to have a place where you can Knobs or buttons of the circuit for gears or automatic so that you can’t reach away from the steering wheel got to.

Die Mittelachse des Lenkrades ist unbeweglich. Der Lenkrad-Ring dreht sich um sie herum. Er ist an zwei Kugellager-Reihen an der Achse aufgehängt. Die Lenkung des Fahrzeugs geht vom Zylinder aus, (d) der um die Achse herumführt. An der Außenwand des Zylinders liegt das Zahnrad (f), das ein anderes Zahnrad dreht, das zum Lenkgestänge führt.The central axis of the steering wheel is immobile. Of the Steering wheel ring turns around them. He is in two Ball bearing rows suspended on the axle. The steering of the vehicle starts from the cylinder, (d) which around the Axis. On the outside wall of the cylinder the gear (f) that rotates another gear that is used for Steering linkage leads.

Auf die Achse ist eine runde Platte (i) aufgesetzt, die eben, konkav oder konvex sein kann. Die Platte enthält als Schalttafel fast alle Bedienungselemente des Fahrzeugs. Die Knöpfe liegen in Höhlungen, so daß man sich auf das Steuerrad legen kann, ohne einen Vorgang auszulösen.A round plate (i) is placed on the axle can be flat, concave or convex. The plate contains almost all control elements of the vehicle as a control panel. The buttons are in cavities, so that you look can put on the steering wheel without triggering an operation.

Die Schalttafel ist so hoch über dem Lenkradring (e) angebracht, daß man beim Lenken nicht dranstößt. Die Tafel kann mit einem kleinen Bildschirm versehen sein und einem Digital-Schrift-und-Zahlen-Band.The control panel is installed high above the steering wheel ring (e) that you don’t bump into the steering. The whiteboard can be provided with a small screen and one Digital font and numbers tape.

Falls man den Zündschlüssel nach dem Anschalten abzieht, kann das Zündschloß auf der Schalttafel angebracht sein. Zur Diebstahlsicherung bewirkt das Drehen des Zündschlüssels, daß sich der Lenkradring soweit hebt, daß man bei abgeschaltetem Fahrzeug nicht mehr lenken kann, weil der Lenkradring zu nahe an der Schalttafel liegt. Außerdem faßt Zahnrad (g) nicht mehr in Zahnrad (h), so daß eine Lenkung unmöglich ist.If you remove the ignition key after switching on, the ignition switch can be attached to the control panel be. To prevent theft, turning the ignition key causes that the steering wheel ring lifts so far that one can no longer steer when the vehicle is switched off because the steering wheel ring is too close to the control panel. Furthermore no longer holds gear (g) in gear (h), so that a Steering is impossible.

Zugänglichkeit aller Bedienungselemente ohne Weggreifen vom Lenkrad. Neue Diebstahlsicherung. Die Schaltung hat ihren Platz wieder am Lenkrad, diesmal mühelos erreichbar.Accessibility of all controls without reaching away from the steering wheel. New anti-theft device. The circuit has its place again on the steering wheel, this time easily accessible.

Auf der Schalttafel (i) erscheinen diese Knöpfe, eventuell mit Kontrollampen: Hupe, Türverriegelung, Schaltung für Gänge oder Automatik, Navigation, Bildschirm, digitale Geschwindigkeitsanzeige, Zahlen/Spruchband für Spezialaufgaben, Blinker, Beleuchtung und Scheibenwischerbetätigung.These buttons may appear on the control panel (i) with indicator lights: horn, door lock, gearshift for gears or automatic, navigation, screen, digital Speed display, numbers / banner for special tasks, Turn signals, lights and wiper actuation.

Claims (3)

1. Ein Lenkring über einen Zylinder angebracht, der an zwei Kugellagern um eine starre Mittelachse herumläuft. Unten am Zylinder ein Zahnkranz, der in das Zahnrad des Lenkgestänges faßt.1. A steering ring attached over a cylinder, the one on two ball bearings around a rigid central axis walks around. At the bottom of the cylinder is a ring gear that fits into the gear of the steering linkage. 2. Am oberen Ende der Achse eine runde Schalttafel mit Knöpfen, Kontrollampen, digitalen Anzeigen, einem Spruch- und Zahlenband und einem Bildschirm.2. A round control panel at the top of the axis with buttons, indicator lights, digital displays, a banner and numbers and a screen. 3. Das Lenkradschloß faßt in die Achse, wenn man es schließt. Dazu muß man den Lenkring anheben (eventuell maschinell). Bei Lösen des Schlosses fällt das Lenkrad in die gebrauchsfertige Stellung zurück.3. The steering wheel lock fits into the axis when one it closes. To do this, you have to lift the steering ring (possibly by machine). When the lock is released the steering wheel falls into the ready-to-use position back.
