Abstract

The device is intended to indicate, and to inform the road user travelling behind, that there is an imminent hazard. For this purpose, the brake light is equipped with two light sources, namely a red one as in the past and additionally a violet one. The red light responds when gentle braking occurs and the violet one when hard braking occurs (hazard). The driver behind is thus given an early warning of a hazard and can react accordingly. Two switching contacts are provided on the brake linkage, one or both of the said contacts being activated depending on the type of braking.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine verschiedenstarkes Bremsen anzeigende Bremsleuchte.The invention relates to braking of different strengths indicating brake light.

Bei vielen Gelegenheiten genügt es, die Bremse des Au­ tos leicht zu betätigen, seltener dagegen ist eine starke Abbremsung erforderlich.On many occasions it is enough to brake the Au tos are easy to operate, but rarer is one heavy braking required.

Nun zeigt ganz allgemein das Bremslicht an, wann ge­ bremst wird, ob schwach oder stark.Now the brake light shows in general when ge braking is weak or strong.

Für den dahinter­ fahrenden Autofahrer wäre es aber zweckmäßig, am Brems­ licht zu erkennen, ob leichte Bremsung oder starke Bremsung vorliegt, z.B. bei Gefahr im Verkehr. Dieses frühzeitige Erkennen kann Auffahrunfälle verhindern. Wird der Hintermann nämlich frühzeitig gewarnt, kann er sich besser auf eine gefährliche Situation einstellen und sein Fahrzeug rechtzeitig abbremsen.For the one behind it Driving motorists, however, would be advisable to apply the brakes easy to see whether light braking or strong Braking is present, e.g. when there is danger in traffic. This Early detection can prevent rear-end collisions. If the back man is warned early, he can be better prepared for a dangerous situation and brake his vehicle in time.

Dieses Problem wird nun durch die erfindungsgemäße Bremsleuchte in überzeugender Weise gelöst.This problem is now solved by the invention  Brake light solved in a convincing way.

Zu diesem Zweck besteht die Bremsleuchte aus zwei Licht­ quellen, einer roten wie bisher und einer vorzugsweise violetten Leuchte. Zwei verschiedene Kontakte am Brems­ gestänge sorgen dafür, daß bei leichter Bremsung nur die rote Lichtquelle in Funktion tritt, aber bei star­ ker Bremsung zusätzlich die violette Lichtquelle tätig wird. Dies wird dadurch bewirkt, daß ja der Brems­ hebel bei leichter Bremsung weniger bewegt (durchge­ treten wird als bei starker Bremsung. Damit in Ein­ klang stehen die Kontakte am Bremsgestänge. Bei leich­ tem Bremsen wird der erste Kontakt geschaltet, bei star­ kem Bremsen auch der zweite Kontakt. Für den nachfol­ genden Autofahrer ist wichtig, schnell zu erkennen, ob normale Bremsung (rot) vorliegt, oder starke Bremsung, (rot/violett). Im letzteren Fall ist Gefahr in Verzug. Er kann schneller und stärker reagieren und so ein Auf­ fahrunfall leichter abwenden.For this purpose, the brake light consists of two lights swell, a red as before and one preferably purple light. Two different contacts on the brake linkage ensure that with light braking only the red light source comes into operation, but at star Ker braking additionally operates the violet light source becomes. This is caused by the fact that the brake lever moved less when braking slightly (cont will kick than when braking hard. So in one the contacts on the brake linkage sounded. With light The first contact is switched when braking, with star kem braking also the second contact. For the successor it is important to quickly identify whether there is normal braking (red) or strong braking, (red / violet). In the latter case, danger is in default. He can react faster and stronger and so an up avert driving accident more easily.

Die Zeichnung veranschaulicht die erfindungsgemäße Bremsleuchte in beispielsweiser Ausführung. Es zeigen:The drawing illustrates the invention Brake light in an example. Show it:

Fig. 1 eine Vorderansicht des Beleuchtungskörpers, Fig. 1 is a front view of the lighting fixture,

Fig. 2 eine Draufsicht dazu im Längsschnitt, Fig. 2 is a top view of this, in longitudinal section,

Fig. 3 einen Querschnitt. Fig. 3 shows a cross section.

Die Bremsleuchte besteht aus dem Körper A, der die Bir­ nen 1 für die Blinkleuchte, 2 Schlußleuchte, 3 rote Bremsleuchte, 3 a violette Bremsleuchte, 4 Rückfahr­ leuchte, 5 Nebelschlußleuchte enthält. Der Körper A hat in bekannter Weise eine durchsichtige Abdeckung B. Die beiden Bremsleuchten 3 und 3 a sind durch einen Steg C voneinander getrennt. Der Körper A wird durch Schrauben D am Kofferraumblech E festgehalten. Das übliche Kabel F führt zu den Kontakten des Brems­ hebels etc. Es sind jetzt zwei Kontakte für die Brems­ anlage vorgesehen derart, daß der erste Kontakt bei leichter Bremsung in Tätigkeit tritt und die rote Bremsleuchte 3 schaltet, während bei starker Bremsung (Gefahr) auch der zweite Kontakt zusätzlich vom wei­ ter sich bewegenden Bremshebel bzw. Pedal in Tätig­ keit tritt und die violette Leuchtquelle 3 a zusätz­ lich einschaltet. Die Farbe "violett" wurde gewählt, weil sie durchdringend wirkt neben der roten Brems­ leuchte, also bestens wahrgenommen wird.The brake lamp is made of the body A, of the Bir NEN 1 for the indicator, fog lamp 2, 3 red brake light, violet 3 a brake light, reversing light 4, which contains 5 fog lamp. The body A has a transparent cover B in a known manner. The two brake lights 3 and 3 a are separated from one another by a web C. The body A is held by screws D on the trunk panel E. The usual cable F leads to the contacts of the brake lever, etc. There are now two contacts for the brake system provided in such a way that the first contact comes into action with light braking and the red brake light 3 switches, while with heavy braking (danger) also the second contact also comes into action from the white moving brake lever or pedal and the purple light source 3 a also switches on. The color "violet" was chosen because it has a penetrating effect next to the red brake light, so it is perceived very well.

Diese Umrüstung ist nicht kostspielig, bringt aber zusätzliche Sicherheit im Straßenverkehr.This conversion is not expensive, but it does bring additional road safety.
