Abstract

The wind-sock (1) comprises a conventional wind-sock in the usual colors. A highly flexible cable with red, yellow or bright LEDs (f,h) is arranged along the length of the wind-sock. The wind outlet is similarly designed and illuminated. A wind measuring device (g) may be used to cause flashing illumination in the event of very strong winds.

Description

Windsäcke üblicher Herstellung und Art weisen keine Beleuchtung auf und sind somit auf Autobahnen und Flughäfen kaum oder nicht zu sehen. Somit ist eine Bestimmung der Windstärke oder Windrichtung kaum oder nicht zu tätigenWindsocks of usual manufacture and type have no lighting and are therefore hardly on highways and airports or not to see. This is a determination of the wind strength or wind direction hardly or not to be done

Mit der Erfindung eines beleuchteten Windsackes ist eine höchstmögliche Sicherheit für Fahrzeugführer/Piloten gegeben. Diese können die Fahreigenschaft / Flugeigenschaft entsprechend korrigieren und ändern.With the invention of an illuminated Windsock is the highest possible security for drivers / pilots given. these can Correct and change the driving / flight characteristics accordingly.

Mit der Erfindung eines Beleuchteten Windsackes wird erreicht daß Unfallgefahren auf Brücken und Windschneisen um ein vielfaches herunter gesetzt werden.With the invention of an illuminated one Windsock is achieved that there is a risk of accidents on bridges and Wind clearances can be lowered many times over.

Mit der Ausweitung der Blitzlampe, die auf eine gefährliche sehr starke Windstärke hinweist ist hier eine der bestmöglichen Signalarten für Fahrzeugführer oder Flugzeugführer gegeben.With the expansion of the flash lamp, the on a dangerous very strong wind here is one of the best possible Signal types for driver or pilot given.

Oberteil des Mastes oder Windsackhalter werden mit Schleifkontakten versehen, um eine reibungslose Stromversorgung zu gewährleisten.Top part of the mast or windsock holder provided with sliding contacts to ensure a smooth power supply to ensure.

Die Stromversorgung muß so ausgelegt sein, daß bei Ausfall des Solarpaneels ausreichend Strom über mindestens 48 h vom Akku abgegeben werden.The power supply must be designed that at Failure of the solar panel sufficient power from the battery for at least 48 h be delivered.

Das Einschalten der Blitzlampe entscheidet die jeweilige Verkehrsbehörde, ab einer bestimmten Windstärke.Switching on the flash lamp decides the respective traffic authority, from a certain wind force.

Die Beleuchtung des Windsackes dagegen ist immer ab Einbruch der Dämmerung eingeschaltet.The lighting of the windsock, however, is always from dusk switched on.

Dies besorgt ein Dämmerungsschalter ( Fotozelle )This is done by a twilight switch (Photocell)

Claims

Registration as a utility model: Illuminated windsock for highways, airfields u. All kinds of wind paths

Construction of an illuminated windsock, consisting of a previously common Windsock of the corresponding colors used.

Protection claim 1) Illuminated windsock ( 1 ) on motorways, airfields and wind lanes, (1) illuminated by LED, s windsock can be illuminated by spotlights for the same purposes, characterized by the fact that a highly flexible cable and red, yellow or bright LED, s are incorporated into the length of the windsock. The wind outlet opening is basically the same and is illuminated.

Protection claim 2) The windsock is designed so that it is can rotate freely (wind sock holder is a ball or roller bearing stored head, which on commercially available Masts can be installed).

Protection claim 3) The windsock can also be illuminated by spotlights become.

Protection claim 4) The lighting of the windsock is by Solar panel and corresponding battery and photocell equipped like this that at bad weather and / or darkness turns on the lights and you can see the windsock as well as the wind direction and the wind force can.

Protection claim 5) The windsock is designed so that everyone Driver / pilot the wind force and wind direction in the dark or bad weather conditions can recognize.

Protection claim 6) The windsock is to be manufactured so that the Time yellow fluorescent elements run around the windsock to recognize in time. Also the seams of the individual color elements of the windsock be illuminated all around

Protection claim 7) A wind measuring device should be on the masts of the windsocks be attached to the at a certain wind force red or yellow strobe light turns on to the driver or pilots to signal that a dangerous wind strength has started.
