Abstract

Each exterior light on the vehicle is linked to a control panel on the dashboard by a simple fibre optic, either as a single filament or a multi-strand systmer. The light points on the control board enable the driver to see at a glance if any of his exterior lights has failed. The system requires no voltage supply and the fibre optic links can be threaded through the car like supply cables. The simple system has a control panel which comprises a sheet of clear plastic with blind holes in the rear to push in the ends of the fibre optics. Identifying markings on the front of the panel indicate the lights.

Description

Betrff: Patentanmeldung für " Optisches Beleuchtungs-Subject: Patent application for "Optical Illumination

Kontrollgerät ". Control device ".

Die Sicherheit im Streßenverkehr wird wesentlich erhöht, wenn der Fahrzeugführer in der Lage ist seine Beleuchtungseinrichtungen, ins@esondere das Schlußlicht, auch während der Fahrt zu kontrollieren.Road traffic safety is significantly increased when the Vehicle driver is able to use his lighting equipment, in particular that Last but not least, to be checked while driving.

ei meinem Kontrollgerät erden die sichtba en el en er befreffenden lichtquelle mittels eine isolierten Licht-@adens (Fa@ero@tik) direkt in das @ichtfeld des Fahrers ebracht. Der Fahrzeugführer sieht also mittel des Lichtfadens wie durch ein Rohr in seine Lampe ( z.@. Schlußlicht ) Das eine Ende des Lichtfadens wird in Peleuchtungskör@er oberhalb der Birne so befestigt, daß das Licht ungehindert einfallen kann. Der leuchtiaden wird dann wie ein normales elektrisches Kabel durch Wagendach, oder Boden, zum Armaturenbrett des Kraftfahrzeuges geführt.On my control device, the visible elements are grounded light source by means of an isolated light @ adens (Fa @ ero @ tik) directly into the field of view of the driver. The driver of the vehicle can see through the light thread as if through a tube in his lamp (z. @. tail light) that will be one end of the light thread Mounted in a lamp above the bulb in such a way that the light is unhindered can come up. The lamp then goes through like a normal electrical cable Car roof, or floor, led to the dashboard of the motor vehicle.

Am Armaturenbrett wird an einer im Blickfeld des F-hrers gelegenen Stelle die optische @nzeigevorrichtung befestigt.On the dashboard, one is located in the driver's field of vision Place the optical indicator attached.

Die Anzeigevorrichtung besteht aus einer ca. 5 mm dicken und etwa 20 cm2 großen durchsichtigen Kunsstoffplatte. In ihr befinden sich von hinten die Einstecklöcher für die Leuchtfäden. Der Fahrer kann auf der Anzeigeplatte bei eingeschalteter Lichtquelle einen kleinen Lichtpunkt erkennen, der aber die Fahrsicherheit in keiner Weise beeinträchtigt.The display device consists of an approx. 5 mm thick and approximately 20 cm2 large transparent plastic plate. Inside it are the from behind Insertion holes for the filaments. The driver can look at the display panel when the Light source recognize a small point of light, but this does not affect driving safety in any Way impaired.
