Abstract

The invention relates to a switching device, by means of which brake lights of vehicles, in particular supplementary brake lights, can be actuated in the case of a predetermined deceleration of the vehicle. It consists of a tube-like cylinder (2) whose central axis (3) is aligned parallel to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle and in which a weight can be brought to rest counter to a spring (4) arranged in the direction of travel in such a way that, in the case of a predetermined deceleration of the vehicle, the spring is compressed to the extent that the weight moves into the area of action of a switching element (5), by means of which the brake lights or supplementary brake lights can be actuated. Preferably, a sphere (6) is used as the weight. <IMAGE>

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Schaltvorrichtung, mittels derer Bremsleuchten von Fahrzeugen insbesondere Zusatzbremsleuchten bei einer vorbestimmten Verzögerung des Fahrzeugs betätigbar sind.The invention relates to a switching device by means of which brake lights of vehicles, in particular, additional brake lights can be actuated at a predetermined deceleration of the vehicle are.

Es ist bekannt, an der Rückseite von Fahrzeugen Bremsleuchten vorzusehen, um die hinter dem Fahrzeug befindlichen Verkehrsteilnehmer bei Einleitung eines Bremsvorganges zu warnen. Zur Vergrößerung der Warnwirkung werden vielfach im Abstand von den üblichen Bremsleuchten noch Zusatzbremsleuchten vorgesehen, die bei Kraftfahrzeugen, z.B. im Bereich der Heckscheibe angeordnet warden. Bei diesen bekannten Zusatzbremsleuchten besteht der Nachteil, daß sie synchron mit den Hauptbremsleuchten betätig t?.werden. Dieses wird besonders im Stadtverkehr oder bei Kolonnenfahrt als nachteilig empfunden, da bei jeder Betätigung der Bremseinrichtung des Fahrzeugs auch dessen Zusatzbremsleuchten aufleuchten.It is known to provide brake lights on the rear of vehicles to avoid road users behind the vehicle to warn when braking is initiated. In order to increase the warning effect, often at a distance of In addition to the usual brake lights, additional brake lights are also provided, which are arranged in motor vehicles, e.g. in the area of the rear window be. These known auxiliary brake lights have the disadvantage that they operate synchronously with the main brake lights become T. This is perceived as disadvantageous, especially in city traffic or when driving in a convoy, since every time it is actuated of the vehicle's braking system, its auxiliary brake lights also light up.

Es ist daher auch vorgeschlagen worden, zu dem im Stromkreis der Bremsleuchten angeordneten Hauptschalter einen Zusatzschalter elektrisch parallel zu schalten, auf dessen Schaltglied mittel -oder unmittelbar die bei einer Geschwindigkeitsänderung auftretenden Verzögerungs- und Beschleunigungskräfte einwirken. Diese Vorrichtung ist jedoch aufgrund ihrer aufwendigen konstruktiven Ausbildung in der Fertiguna sehr teuer und darüberhinausIt has therefore also been proposed to add an additional switch to the main switch arranged in the circuit of the brake lights to switch electrically in parallel, on its switching element directly or indirectly when there is a change in speed occurring deceleration and acceleration forces act. However, this device is very expensive due to its complex construction in the factory and beyond

sehr störanfällig.very prone to failure.

Die Aufgabe der Erfindung besteht darin, eine einfach herzustellende und störungssichere gattungsgemäße Schaltvorrichtung zu schaffen, mittels derer die Bremsleuchten oder Zusatzbremsleuchten nur bei einer vorbestimmten Mindestverzögerung des Fahrzeugs betätigbar sind.The object of the invention is to provide a simple to manufacture and to create fail-safe generic switching device by means of which the brake lights or additional brake lights can only be actuated with a predetermined minimum deceleration of the vehicle.

Erfindungsgemäß erfolgt die Lösung der Aufgabe durch einen rohrartigen Zylinder, dessen Mittelachse parallel zur Fahrzeuglängsachse ausgerichtet ist,und in dem ein Gewicht gegen eine in Fahrtrichtung angeordnete Feder derart zur Anlage bringbar ist, daß bei einer vorbestimmten Fahrzeugverzögerung die Feder soweit zusammendrückbar ist, bis das Gewicht in den Wirkbereich eines Schaltglieds gelangt, durch das die Bremsleuchten oder Zusatzbremsleuchten betätigbar sind.According to the invention, the object is achieved by a tubular Cylinder whose central axis is aligned parallel to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle and in which a weight against one in the direction of travel arranged spring can be brought into contact in such a way that at a predetermined vehicle deceleration the spring can be compressed to such an extent is until the weight reaches the effective range of a switching element through which the brake lights or additional brake lights are operable.

Weitere Merkmale der Erfindung werden in den Unteransprüchen beschrieben. Ein Äusführungsbeispiel der Erfindung ist in der Zeichnung dargestellt, die eine Schaltvorrichtung in einer Seitenansicht im Schnitt zeigt.Further features of the invention are described in the subclaims. An embodiment of the invention is shown in the drawing, which shows a switching device in a side view shows in section.

Die Schaltvorrichtung 1 besteht aus einem Zylinder 2, an dessen Endabschnitten 8, 9 zwei Flansche 17, 18 ausgebildet sind. AnThe switching device 1 consists of a cylinder 2, at which End sections 8, 9, two flanges 17, 18 are formed. At

den Flanschen 17, 18 liegt jeweils ein Flanschdeckel 7, 8 an, der an die Flansche mittels Schraubverbindungen 15, 16 angeschraubt ist. An der Außenwandung 12 des Zylinders 2 ist an dem dem Endabschnitt 8 zugewandten Teil des Zylinders 2 ein Schaltglied 5 angeordnet, das mit einem Schalter 20 zur Betätigung der nicht näher dargestellten Bremsleuchten oder Zusatzbremsleuchten dient.the flanges 17, 18 each have a flange cover 7, 8, which is screwed to the flanges by means of screw connections 15, 16 is. On the outer wall 12 of the cylinder 2 is on the the end portion 8 facing part of the cylinder 2, a switching member 5 is arranged, which with a switch 20 for actuation the brake lights or additional brake lights not shown in detail is used.

In dem Zylinder 2 befindet sich eine Kugel 6, die gegen eine Feder 4 abgestützt ist. Die Feder 4 ist in einer Ausnehmung 13 des Flanschdeckels 7 gelagert. An der anderen Seite der Kugel 6 befindet sich eine Dämpfungsfeder 11, die in der Ausnehmung 14 des Flanschdeckels 10 abgestützt ist.In the cylinder 2 there is a ball 6 which is supported against a spring 4. The spring 4 is in a recess 13 of the flange cover 7 stored. On the other side of the ball 6 there is a damping spring 11 which is located in the recess 14 of the flange cover 10 is supported.

Bei einer bestimmten Verzögerung der Fahrgeschwindigkeit des sich in Richtung X bewegenden Fahrzeugs, drückt die Kugel 6 die Feder 4 zusammen. Wenn die Bremsverzögerung genügend groß ist, gelangt die Kugel 6 in den Wirkbereich des Schaltgliedes 5, so daß eine Betätigung des Schalters 20 erfolgt.With a certain deceleration of the driving speed of the vehicle moving in direction X, the ball 6 pushes the Spring 4 together. If the braking deceleration is sufficiently large, the ball 6 comes into the effective range of the switching element 5, see above that the switch 20 is actuated.

Das Schaltglied 5 ist zweckmäSigerweise als Magnetspule ausgebildet, die dann einen Impuls gibt, wenn die Kugel in das Magnetfeld eindringt.The switching element 5 is expediently designed as a magnetic coil, which then gives an impulse when the ball enters the magnetic field.

Um beim normalen Fahrbetrieb ein Anschlagen der Kugel 6 an dem Flanschdeckel 10 zu verhindern, was mit unangenehmen GeräuschenIn order to hit the ball 6 on the during normal driving Flange cover 10 to prevent causing unpleasant noises

verbunden wäre, ist zwischen der Kugel 6 und de m Flanschdeckel eine Dämpfungsfeder 11 angeordnet, deren Elastizität größer ist, als die der Feder 4.would be connected, is between the ball 6 and de m flange cover a damping spring 11 is arranged, the elasticity of which is greater than that of the spring 4.

Es ist aber auch möglich, die Feder 4 so auszubilden, daß die Kugel 6 unter dem Druck der Feder 4 bei normalem Fahrbetrieb an dem Flanschdeckel 10 anliegt. Lediglich bei einer großen Verzögerung des Fahrzeugs wird sich die Kugel 6 dann zum Schaltglied bewegen. Um beim Zurückkehren der Kugel 6 an den Flanschdeckel Geräusche zu verhindern, kann der Zylinder 2 in diesem Fall mit einem Fluid gefüllt sein, das gleichzeitig eine Dämpfung des Kugel-Federsystems bewirkt. Durch entsprechende Anpassung der einzelnen Komponenten ist es möglich, die Schaltvorrichtung 1 so auszubilden, daß lediglich bei einer bestimmten, die normalen Fahrvorgänge überschreitenden Abbremsung eine Betätigung des Schalters 20 erfolgt.But it is also possible to design the spring 4 in such a way that the ball 6 starts under the pressure of the spring 4 during normal driving the flange cover 10 rests. Only if there is a long delay of the vehicle, the ball 6 will then move to the switching element. To when the ball 6 returns to the flange cover To prevent noises, the cylinder 2 can be filled with a fluid in this case, which at the same time damps the Ball-spring system causes. By adapting the individual components accordingly, it is possible to change the switching device 1 to be designed so that an actuation of the Switch 20 takes place.
