Abstract

The invention relates to a motor vehicle having a variable external mirror for covering a dead angle and having a flasher-switch arm in the steering-wheel region, provided with an additional switching element at the free end of the arm. The invention is for the switching element (2) to be capable of pivoting with respect to the flasher switch arm (1) from its null position, in a plane parallel to the pivoting plane of the arm (1), into an operating position in which the mirror is changed, and for the switching element (2) to be able to pivot in the anticlockwise direction in order to operate the left-hand external mirror and/or in the clockwise direction in order to operate the right-hand external mirror. The invention thus represents an expedient coupling of the flasher switch to the switching element for operating the external mirror. <IMAGE>

Description

Beschreibungdescription

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Blinkerschalter mit erweiterter Funktion gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1.The invention relates to a flasher switch with an extended function according to the preamble of claim 1.

Die bisher bekannten technischen Gestaltungen der Blinkerschalter sehen nicht die Möglichkeit einer Ansteuerung durch Blinkerschalter einer Vorrichtung zum Verschwenken eines Rückblickspiegels vor.The previously known technical designs of the indicator switch do not see the possibility of activation by the indicator switch of a device for swiveling a rearview mirror.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, den herkömmlichen Blinkerschalter so zu verbessern, daß eine Durchführung der erwähnten Aufgabe ermöglicht wird.The invention is based on the object of the conventional turn signal switch to be improved so that the aforementioned task can be carried out.

Dem bekannten Blinkerschalter ist ein zusätzlicher Schalter auf dem freien Ende des Blinkerschalters zugeordnet. Der zusätzlich angebrachte Schalter hat die Aufgabe eine elektronische Steuereinheit zu aktivieren. Die Steuereinheit wird durch das Antippen des auf einem Gelenk befestigten Schalters mit Strom aktiviert.The well-known indicator switch is an additional switch on the assigned to the free end of the turn signal switch. The additionally attached switch has the task of activating an electronic control unit. The control unit is activated by tapping the switch attached to a hinge with electricity.

Im folgenden wird die Erfindung anhand eines in der Zeichnung dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiels näher erläutert. Es zeigt Fig. 1 eine Draufsicht eines Blinkerschalters mit einem Zusatzschalter in der Ausgangslage.In the following, the invention is illustrated by means of one in the drawing Embodiment explained in more detail. 1 shows a plan view of a flasher switch with an additional switch in the starting position.

Fig -2 Eine Draufsicht eines Blinkerschalters nach Fig. 1 nach dem Antippen.Fig -2 is a plan view of a flasher switch according to Fig. 1 after Tap.

Fig. 3 einen Längsschnitt einer Ausführungsform der Erfindung3 shows a longitudinal section of an embodiment of the invention
