Abstract

The underside of the vehicle is viewed indirectly and photographs are taken via a mirrored trolley (2) to enable evidence of the damage to be preserved. A fixed, battery powered light source is used to illuminate the underside of the vehicle. The trolley has rollers on its underside. USE/ADVANTAGE - Esp. for evaluating and acquiring documented evidence of damage to undersides of motor vehicles. Simply overcomes difficulties often experienced in evaluation when no lifting facilities are available.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine geometrisch-optische Vorrichtung, welche für Beweissicherungszwecke auf dem Gebiet der Kfz.-Scha­ densbeurteilung eingesetzt wird, nach dem Oberbegriff des An­ spruchs 1.The invention relates to a geometrical-optical device, which for preservation of evidence in the field of Kfz.-Scha assessment is used according to the generic term of the An saying 1.

Das erfindungsgemäße Meßverfahren eignet sich insbesondere zur Schadensanalyse und der Beweissicherung von festgestellten Schä­ den am Fahrzeugboden. Die für Beweissicherungszwecke unverzicht­ bare Bilddokumentation kann dadurch indirekt über Spiegelwagen erfolgen.The measuring method according to the invention is particularly suitable for Damage analysis and the preservation of evidence of found damage on the vehicle floor. The essential for preservation of evidence This means that bare image documentation can be made indirectly via mirror trolleys respectively.

Es ist bekannt, daß zur Erfüllung dieser Erfordernisse die Bild­ dokumentation direkt, das heißt durch das Anheben des Fahrzeugs mittels einer Hebebühne und der Fotografie vom Standpunkt des Betrachters aus gemacht wird.It is known that to meet these needs, the picture documentation directly, i.e. by lifting the vehicle by means of a lifting platform and photography from the point of view of the Viewer is made out of.

Diese Methode bedingt die Verfügbarkeit einer Hebebühne.This method requires the availability of a lifting platform.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, die Schwierigkeit bei der Beurteilung von Beschädigungen der Fahrzeugunterseite, wel­ che sich in der Praxis durch fehlende Hebebühnen sehr oft er­ gibt, auf einfache und bequeme Art zu lösen.The invention is based on the problem, the difficulty the assessment of damage to the underside of the vehicle, wel very often in practice due to the lack of a lifting platform to solve in a simple and convenient way.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des An­ spruchs 1 gelöst.This task is characterized by the characteristics of the contractor spell 1 solved.

Um zu erreichen, daß die für Beweissicherungszwecke notwendige Bilddokumentation vorgenommen werden kann, werden die Fotos indirekt, über "Spiegelwagen" gefertigt.To achieve that necessary for the preservation of evidence Image documentation can be made, the photos manufactured indirectly, via "mirror car".

Dieser ebene Spiegel erzeugt virtuelle Bilder, die symmetrisch mit dem Gegenstand zum Spiegel liegen. Der Betrachter hat den Eindruck, als kämen die Strahlen von einem Punkt hinter dem Spiegel her.This flat mirror creates virtual images that are symmetrical lie with the object to the mirror. The viewer has that  Impression as if the rays came from a point behind that Mirror.

Die Größe des "Spiegelwagens" ist abhängig von dem bei Nicht­ gebrauch zur Verfügung stehenden Stauraum. Eine Größe von 35 × 50 cm des Spiegelwagens erfüllt ausreichend gut die ge­ stellten Erfordernisse.The size of the "mirror car" depends on the size of Not available storage space. A size of 35 × 50 cm of the mirror car fulfills the requirements sufficiently well made requirements.

Kleinere oder größere Abmaße des Spiegelwagens sind vorstellbar, wodurch lediglich die indirekt einzusehende Fläche (Größe) ver­ ändert wird.Smaller or larger dimensions of the mirror carriage are conceivable, whereby only the indirectly visible area (size) ver will change.

Um eine einfache Handhabung des Spiegelwagens zu ermöglichen, wird dieser zweckmäßigerweise an dessen Boden mit Rollen, ähn­ lich den Rollen wie sie sich an Montagebrettern befinden, ver­ sehen.To make the mirror trolley easy to use, this is conveniently similar on the bottom with rollers Lich the roles as they are on assembly boards, ver see.

Die Dimension der Rollen ist so zu bemessen, daß sie dem Gewicht des Spiegels genüge tragen. Rollendurchmesser von ca. 1,5 cm und größer sind geeignet.The dimension of the rollers is to be dimensioned so that they are weight wear the mirror enough. Roll diameter of approximately 1.5 cm and larger are suitable.

Die Verschiebung des Spiegelwagens kann bequemerweise durch einen in der Länge individuell auf den Anwender anzupassenden Führungsstab, welcher mit einer Schlaufe versehen ist, durch welche eine Verbindung mit einem am Spiegelwagen angebrachten Haken hergestellt wird, erfolgen.The shift of the mirror carriage can conveniently be done by a length that can be individually adapted to the user Guide rod, which is provided with a loop through which attached a connection to one on the mirror carriage Hook is made.

Um die, für die Fotografie notwendige scharfe Einstellung zu ermöglichen, kann die bei Tageslicht schon ausreichend gute Hel­ ligkeit durch mindestens eine, Batterie betriebene Lichtquelle, welche sich vernünftigerweise an den Innenseiten des Spiegelrah­ mens befindet, noch erheblich erhöht werden. Es ist auch eine externe Lichtquelle z. B. einer Taschenlampe vorstellbar. Die nun vom Anwender einzusehende Fläche des Fahrzeugbodens kann mittels eines einfachen Fotoapparates indirekt aufgenommen wer­ den.To get the sharp focus necessary for photography enable, the Hel is already sufficiently good in daylight due to at least one battery-operated light source, which is reasonably located on the inside of the Spiegelrah mens is still significantly increased. It is also one external light source e.g. B. a flashlight imaginable. The area of the vehicle floor that can now be viewed by the user can indirectly taken with a simple camera the.

Fig. 1 zeigt in perspektivischer Darstellung die Vorrichtung und das Verfahren gemäß der Erfindung. Fig. 1, the apparatus and method of the invention in a perspective view in accordance with.

Fig. 2 zeigt die, abhängig von der Stellung des Spiegelwagens mögliche, indirekte Einsichtnahme auf die Fahrzeugun­ terseite. Fig. 2 shows the, depending on the position of the mirror car possible, indirect view of the vehicle underside.

Fig. 1 zeigt in schematischer Darstellung ein zu bewertendes Fahrzeug 1, dessen Unterseite mittels eines Spiegelwagens 2 eingesehen werden kann, wobei zur Helligkeitserhöhung eine, sich auf einem Stativ 3 befindliche Taschenlampe 4 als Lichtquelle 5 verwendet wird. Fig. 1 shows a schematic representation of a wherein a is to be used on a tripod 3 located torch 4 as the light source 5 to be evaluated vehicle 1, the underside of which can be viewed by means of a mirror carriage 2, the brightness increase.

Das für Beweissicherungzwecke notwendige Foto wird durch einen Fotoapparat 6 gefertigt.The photo necessary for preservation of evidence is produced by a camera 6 .

Fig. 2 zeigt, wie durch versetzen des Spiegelwagens 2 aufgrund der aus der geometrischen Optik bekannten Gesetzmäßigkeit, die komplette Unterseite 7 des Fahrzeuges 1 einzusehen ist und mög­ liche Schäden mit Hilfe eines Fotoapparates 6 zur Beweissiche­ rung festgehalten werden können. Fig. 2 shows how by moving the mirror carriage 2 due to the law known from the geometric optics, the entire underside 7 of the vehicle 1 can be viewed and possible damage can be recorded with the help of a camera 6 for evidence protection.
