Description
An Benzinbehältern für Kraftfahrzeuge ist die Erkennung des Benzinstandes und damit des Vorrats noch äußerst erschwert. Eingebaute Standanzeiger stellen ein weiteres Gerät mit beweglichen Teilen dar, das besonders bei einem so heftigen Erschütterungen ausgesetzten Fahrzeug nicht zweckmäßig ist und leicht versagt. Die Verschlußkappe mit einem Fenster auszurüsten ist wirkungslos, weil das Behälterinnere finster ist. Ein Sichtfenster allein ist demnach nicht ausreichend, den beabsichtigten Zweck zu erfüllen. Die Mitführung besonderer Hilfsgeräte zur Nachweisung des Benzinstandes ist umständlich und vermehrt nur unnötig das Gewicht des mitzuführenden Werkzeugs, was besonders bei Krafträdern störend ist. Außer der Anordnung eines Sichtfensters im Verschluß von Benzinbehältern findet sich auch der Vorschlag, Fässer vollständig aus durchsichtigem Stoff herzustellen. Solche Gefäße wären aber im günstigsten Falle nur als Standgefäße zu halten, da sie für die Beförderung nicht stoßfest sind. Auch bei Flaschen, z. B. für Getränke, wird im Gefäßmantel ein durchsichtiger Streifen angeordnet, und der Boden wird ebenfalls durchsichtig gehalten, dagegen ist der Deckel selbst als üblicher Verschluß undurchsichtig. The detection of the gasoline level and thus the supply is still extremely difficult. Built-in level indicators represent an additional device moving parts, especially when exposed to such violent vibrations Vehicle is inappropriate and easily fails. The cap with a window equipping is ineffective because the inside of the container is dark. One viewing window is alone therefore not sufficient to fulfill the intended purpose. Carrying special Auxiliary equipment for verifying the fuel level is cumbersome and often just unnecessary Weight of the tool to be carried, which is particularly annoying with motorcycles. Except the arrangement of a viewing window in the closure of gasoline containers is also the suggestion, Making barrels entirely from transparent fabric. But such vessels would be in the best case only to be kept as standing vessels, as they are not shockproof for transport are. Even with bottles, e.g. B. for drinks, a transparent one is in the vessel jacket Stripes arranged, and the bottom is also kept transparent, on the other hand is the Lid itself opaque as a usual closure.
Um nun insbesondere bei Benzinbehältern für Kraftfahrzeuge eine gute Durchsicht zwecks jederzeitiger Feststellung des Benzinstandes zu erreichen, ist gemäß der Erfindung auch im Boden des Behälters an dem Deckenfenster annähernd senkrecht gegenüberliegender Stelle ein Fenster eingebaut. Dabei kann z. B. das an sich bekannte und als Rohr ausgebildete Sicherheitssieb zwischen den beiden Fenstern eingesetzt sein. Durch diese Einrichtung wird ein voller Durchblick möglich, und der Benzinstand läßt sich mit einem Blick erkennen, weil sich der Flüssigkeitsspiegel infolge der Lichtreflexe im Behälter deutlich abhebt.In order to have a good look through, especially in the case of gasoline tanks for motor vehicles To achieve anytime determination of the gasoline level is also in accordance with the invention Bottom of the container at the ceiling window approximately perpendicularly opposite point a window installed. It can, for. B. known per se and designed as a tube Safety screen must be inserted between the two windows. Through this facility will a full view possible, and the gasoline level can be seen at a glance because the liquid level clearly stands out as a result of the light reflections in the container.
Die Zeichnung stellt die Erfindung beispielsweise dar, und zwar inThe drawing illustrates the invention, for example, in
Abb. ι im Längsschnitt durch einen Benzinbehälter für ein Kraftrad.Fig. Ι in a longitudinal section through a petrol tank for a motorcycle.
Abb. 2 zeigt die Oberansicht dazu, undFig. 2 shows the top view of this, and
Abb. 3 und 4 zeigen den Längsschnitt von zwei anderen Ausführungsbeispielen.Fig. 3 and 4 show the longitudinal section of two other embodiments.
Der Benzinbehälter α kann beliebige Form haben. Es ist diejenige gewählt, wie sie bei Krafträdern meist benutzt wird. An zwei gegenüberliegenden Stellen (Abb. 1) sind Fenster eingebaut, und zwar ein oberes, b, und ein unteres, c. Zwischen beiden kann ein Rohr d eingesetzt sein, dessen Wand in geeigneter Weise durchbrochen ist, z. B. durch Schlitze, Löcher o. dgl. Die ausgebrochenen Stellen können einfach durch Stanzen und Abbiegen erzielt sein, so daß dem einfallenden Licht außer der zylindrischen Innenwand des Rohres d noch unteranderem Winkel liegende reflektierende FlächenThe fuel tank α can have any shape. The one chosen is the one that is mostly used on motorcycles. Windows are installed in two opposite places (Fig. 1), an upper one, b, and a lower one, c. A tube d can be inserted between the two, the wall of which is perforated in a suitable manner, e.g. B. through slots, holes o. The like. The broken-out points can be achieved simply by punching and bending, so that the incident light in addition to the cylindrical inner wall of the tube d still at different angles reflecting surfaces
dargeboten werden. Dieser Sichtschacht könnte z. B. symmetrisch zur Füllschraube & angeordnet sein.are presented. This viewing shaft could, for. B. be arranged symmetrically to the filling screw & .
Es wäre jedoch auch möglich, die Füllöffnung selbst als Sichtschacht zu benutzen, dadurch, daß die Füllschraube e ein Fenster f erhält, wie in Abb. 3. Das in die Füllöffnung g eingesetzte Sicherheitssieb h bildet dann selbst den Sichtschacht und könnte z. B. ebenso innen durch entsprechende Behandlung spiegelnd sein. Das untere Fenster c befindet sich dann im Boden der Füllschraube e gegenüber bzw. am Ende des Sicherheitssiebes k. Wird die Fassung des unteren Fensters c entsprechend nach innen eingesenkt, dann kann sie zugleich als Führung für das untere Ende des Sicherheitssiebes h dienen.It would also be possible to use the filling opening itself as a visual shaft, characterized in that the filling screw e receives a window f, as shown in Fig. 3. The filling opening in the safety screen used g h then itself forms the viewing chamber and could z. B. also be reflective inside by appropriate treatment. The lower window c is then located in the bottom of the filling screw e opposite or at the end of the safety sieve k. If the socket of the lower window c is correspondingly sunk inwards, then it can also serve as a guide for the lower end of the safety screen h .
Um die Sicht weitergehend zu verbessern, könnte in der Wand des Behälters α noch ein drittes Fenster i eingebaut sein, dessen Achse im Winkel zum Sichtschacht liegt. * Die Lage des Fensters ist beliebig, z. B. mehr unten und vorn, wie in Abb. 3, oder oben neben der Füllschraube, wie bei k in Abb. 4. Auch läßt sich eine besondere Beleuchtung für die Durchsicht einrichten, z. B. durch den Einbau einer Lampe I in Abb. 1 am unteren Fenster c. Die Lampe wird an die Beleuchtungsanlage des Motorrades mit angeschlossen und läßt sich mittels eines Schalters beliebig ein- und ausschalten, um den Brennstoffstand im Behälter besonders bei Dunkelheit nachprüfen zu können. Schließlich läßt sich an einem der Fenster, zweckmäßig dem unteren, auch ein Spiegel anbringen in solcher Lage, daß er Licht, etwa vom Instrumentenbrett, auffängt und in den eingebauten Schacht^ bzw. h wirft. Für diesen Zweck könnten z. B. zwei Fenster k undc nach Abb. 4 eingebaut sein, und zwar das obere Fenster, neben der Füllschraube e bzw. an anderer zweckmäßiger Stelle . in einer solchen Richtung zum unteren Fenster c, daß Licht vom Instrumentenbrett unmittelbar hineinfällt, wenn sich dies einrichten läßt. Im anderen Falle wird am oberen Fenster k ein Spiegel k' so eingebaut, daß er Licht vom Instrumentenbrett in die Sichtrichtung der beiden Fenster h und c wirft.In order to further improve the view, a third window i could also be built into the wall of the container α , the axis of which is at an angle to the viewing shaft. * The position of the window is arbitrary, e.g. B. more below and in front, as in Fig. 3, or above next to the filling screw, as at k in Fig. 4. Special lighting can also be set up for viewing, e.g. B. by installing a lamp I in Fig. 1 on the lower window c. The lamp is connected to the lighting system of the motorcycle and can be switched on and off as required using a switch in order to be able to check the fuel level in the container, especially in the dark. Finally, a mirror can be attached to one of the windows, expediently the lower one, in such a position that it catches light, for example from the instrument panel, and throws it into the built-in shaft ^ or h. For this purpose, e.g. B. two windows k and c can be installed according to Fig. 4, namely the upper window , next to the filling screw e or at another convenient location. in such a direction towards the lower window c that light from the instrument panel falls directly into it, if this can be arranged. In the other case, a mirror k ' is installed on the upper window k in such a way that it throws light from the instrument panel in the direction of view of the two windows h and c.
