Patentiert im Deutschen Reiche vom 28. August 1913 ab.Patented in the German Empire on August 28, 1913.

Der Wunsch, bei Automobilen eine möglichst weitreichende Beleuchtung der Fahrbahn durch die beiden am Vorderrahmen angebrachten Scheinwerfer herzustellen, hat dazu geführt, diese Scheinwerfer mit Hohlspiegeln zu versehen, die eine seitliche Streuung der Lichtstrahlen fast gänzlich vermeiden, vielmehr einen eng begrenzten Lichtkegel weit nach vorn werfen. Diese Anordnung läßt zwar dieThe desire for the most extensive possible illumination of the roadway in automobiles using the two headlights attached to the front frame has to do with it led to provide these headlights with concave mirrors, which spread the lateral Avoid light rays almost entirely, rather a narrowly limited cone of light far behind throw forward. Although this arrangement leaves the

ίο gerade Straße auf große Entfernung überblicken, äußert sich aber in den Kurven der Fahrbahn dadurch unangenehm, daß die am Vorderrahmen starr befestigten Scheinwerfer ihre Lichtkegel tangential über die Kurve hinauswerfen und die Fortsetzung der gekrümmten Fahrbahn gänzlich im Dunkeln lassen.ίο overlook a straight road from a great distance, but expresses itself unpleasantly in the curves of the roadway that the am Front frame rigidly attached headlights their cones of light tangentially over the curve throw it out and leave the continuation of the curved road completely in the dark.

Man hat nun verschiedentlich versucht, die Scheinwerfer zugleich mit den Vorderrädern des Automobils zu verstellen, und dabei einen guten Beleuchtungseffekt in starken und schwachen Kurven erreicht. Es stellte sich jedoch heraus, daß die Verbindung der Lenkgestänge für die Vorderräder mit den drehbar angeordneten Scheinwerfern in den meisten Fällen nur schwierig erreicht werden kann, da das mit den Vorderfedern auf und ab gehende Lenkgestänge nicht direkt mit den am Rahmen angebrachten Scheinwerferträgern verbunden werden kann.Various attempts have now been made to turn the headlights on at the same time as the front wheels of the automobile, while maintaining a good lighting effect in strong and reached weak curves. It turned out, however, that the connection of the steering linkage for the front wheels with the rotatable headlights can in most cases only be reached with difficulty, since the steering linkage that goes up and down with the front springs is not directly connected to the headlight carriers attached to the frame can be connected.

Die vorliegende Neuerung befaßt sich mitThe present innovation deals with

. liehen Ausschlag der Scheinwerfer selbsttätig,. lent deflection of the headlights automatically,

d. h. unabhängig von jeder Verstellung des Lenkgestänges oder der Vorderräder zu bewerkstelligen. Diese selbsttätige Verstellung wird erreicht durch ein um eine horizontale Achse schwingendes Pendel, das in den Kurven, der Zentrifugalkraft folgend, nach außen bzw. innen ausschwingt und die drehbar angeordneten Scheinwerfer durch entsprechende Übertragung dieses Ausschlags verstellt.d. H. to be carried out independently of any adjustment of the steering linkage or the front wheels. This automatic adjustment is achieved by a pendulum swinging around a horizontal axis, which in the curves, following the centrifugal force, swings outwards or inwards and the rotatable Headlights adjusted by transferring this deflection accordingly.

Eine Konstruktion dieser Art ist in Fig. 1 dargestellt. Das senkrecht angeordnete Pendel α ist drehbar um die Achse b gelagert und bewirkt durch die beiden in geeignetem Übersetzungsverhältnis angebrachten Hebel c und d die Verstellung des in den Lagern e und f drehbaren Scheinwerfers g, sobald durch den Eintritt des Automobils in eine Kurve die Zentrifugalkraft des Pendels α die zur Verstellung nötige Größe erreicht hat. Sobald der Wagen die Kurve verläßt, hört die Zentrifugalkraft auf zu wirken, und das Pendel wird sich unter seinem Schwergewicht wieder senkrecht nach unten einstellen, wobei auch die Laterne g durch die Hebel c und d in ihre normale, nach vorn gerichtete Lage zurückgebracht wird. Eine geeignete Rast macht den Scheinwerfer in der Mittelstellung gegen die Stöße des Wagens unempfindlich.A construction of this type is shown in FIG. The vertically arranged pendulum α is rotatably mounted about the axis b and effects the adjustment of the headlight g, which is rotatable in the bearings e and f , as soon as the centrifugal force of the vehicle enters a curve through the two levers c and d attached in a suitable transmission ratio Pendulum α has reached the size necessary for adjustment. As soon as the car leaves the curve, the centrifugal force ceases to act and the pendulum will adjust itself vertically downwards again under its gravity, the lantern g also being returned to its normal, forward-facing position by levers c and d. A suitable detent makes the headlight in the middle position insensitive to the impact of the car.

Eine weitere Anordnung zeigt Fig. 2. Hier ist das in einer horizontalen Ebene schwenkbar angeordnete Pendelgewicht h durch einen Steg i direkt mit dem drehbaren Scheinwerferträger k verbunden. Wie bei der erstgenannten Anordnung folgt auch hier das Pendel der Zentrifugalkraft in den Wegkurven und verstellt den Scheinwerferträger und mit diesem den Scheinwerfer. Zur Begrenzung des Ausschlags dient ein geeigneter AnschlagA further arrangement is shown in FIG. 2. Here, the pendulum weight h , which is pivotably arranged in a horizontal plane, is connected directly to the rotatable headlamp carrier k by a web i. As with the first-mentioned arrangement, the pendulum follows the centrifugal force in the path curves and adjusts the headlight carrier and with it the headlight. A suitable stop is used to limit the deflection

in den Endstellungen. Um das Zurückführen des Pendels in die Mittelstellung zu erleichtern, kann eine beiderseitig von der Normallage aus verlaufende schräge Bahn I (Fig. 3) angebracht werden, auf der eine an dem Scheinwerferträger befestigte Rolle m beim Ausschlag des Pendelgewichtes h aufläuft und dadurch den Scheinwerfer der Neigung der schrägen Bahn entsprechend hebt. Beim Aufhören der Zentrifugalkraft wird die Rolle m unter dem Schwergewicht des Scheinwerfers und des mit ihm gehobenen Pendels h bestrebt sein, in den tiefsten Punkt der schrägen Bahn zurückzukehren und damit den Scheinwerfer in die Normallage zurückbringen. Auch kann die Rolle anstatt durch das Gewicht des Scheinwerfers durch eine Feder belastet werden, um in ihre Normallage zurückgeführt zu Werden.in the end positions. In order to facilitate the return of the pendulum to the middle position, an inclined path I (Fig. 3) running on both sides from the normal position can be attached, on which a roller m attached to the headlamp carrier runs when the pendulum weight h deflects and thereby the headlights Incline of the inclined path lifts accordingly. When the centrifugal force ceases, the role m under the heavy weight of the headlight and the pendulum h raised with it will endeavor to return to the lowest point of the inclined path and thus bring the headlight back into the normal position. The role can also be loaded by a spring instead of the weight of the headlight in order to be returned to its normal position.
