Abstract

In order to provide a particularly bright, uniform and non-dazzling exterior light for vehicles which can be seen from a great distance, dot-shaped light sources are replaced by spatially extended light sources.

Description

Beschreibung:Description:

Fahrzeugaußenbeleuchtung Die Erfindung betrifft die Scheinwerfer und Rücklichter von Fahrzeugen,d.h. die Außenbeleuchtung von Fahrzeugen.Vehicle exterior lighting The invention relates to the headlights and Taillights of vehicles, i.e. the exterior lighting of vehicles.

Die Außenbeleuchtung dient im Wesentlichen zwei Aufgaben: 1. Sie soll dem Fahrzeugführer den vor ihm liegenden Weg sichtbar machen.The outdoor lighting essentially serves two purposes: 1. It should make the road ahead of him visible to the driver of the vehicle.

2. Sie soll das Fahrzeug für Nichtmitreisende erkennbar machen.2. It should make the vehicle recognizable for non-passengers.

Bisher verwendet man hierzu Glühlampen bzw. Halogenlampen, also "punktförmige" Lichtquellen, und versucht mit Hilfe von Reflektoren und Streuscheiben eine möglichst helle und gleichmäßige Beleuchtung zu erreichen, was mehr schlecht als recht gelingt.Up to now, incandescent lamps or halogen lamps have been used for this purpose, i.e. "punctiform" Light sources, and tried as much as possible with the help of reflectors and diffusers To achieve bright and even lighting, which is more bad than good.

Zudem ist durch die Blendwirkung dieser Leuchten eine potentielle Gefährdung anderer Verkehrsteilnehmer vorhanden.In addition, the glare effect of these lights is a potential There is a risk to other road users.

Die Rtickleuchten sind so klein und lichtschwach, daß, insbesonders bei ungünstigen Witterungsbedingungen, voraus fahrende bzw. stehende Fahrzeuge oft zu spät erkannt werden, was zu Auffahrunfällen führen kann.The rear lights are so small and faint that, in particular in unfavorable weather conditions, vehicles driving or standing in front often recognized too late, which can lead to rear-end collisions.

Neuere Nebelschlußleuchten hingegen können nachfolgende Verkehrsteilnehmer blenden.Newer rear fog lights, however, can be used by following road users dazzle.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine weithin erkennbare, besonders helle, gleichmäßige und blende freie Fahrzeugbeleuchtung zu schaffen.The invention is based on the object of a widely recognizable, to create particularly bright, uniform and glare-free vehicle lighting.

Diese Aufgabe wird dadurch gelöst, daß anstelle "punktförmiger" Lichtquellen räumlich ausgedehnte Lichtquellen verwendet werden.This object is achieved in that instead of "point" light sources spatially extended light sources are used.

Solche Lichtquellen stellen zum Beispiel Gasentladungsröhren bzw. Leuchtstoffröhren dar, die sich durch Wahl des richtigen Gases auch als Schlußleuchte oder Nebelleuchte verwenden lassen.Such light sources are, for example, gas discharge tubes or Fluorescent tubes, which can also be used as tail lights by choosing the right gas or have the fog light used.

Sie sind wegen ihrer Größe weithin sichtbar und praktisch blendfrei. Darüber hinaus ist die "Lichtausbeute" wesentlich höher als bei Glühlampen gleicher Leistungsaufnahme.Because of their size, they are visible from afar and practically glare-free. In addition, the "light output" is much higher than that of incandescent lamps Power consumption.
