Optical motor vehicle warning and emergency device

The innovation relates to an optical motor vehicle warning and emergency call device. Known devices of this type are e.g. reflective Warning triangles and flashing lights in various designs. They have essentially the sole purpose of approaching To warn drivers of a traffic obstacle »

It is the object of the present innovation to create a device of the type mentioned, which is suitable in a To give the most appropriate optical signal to a large number of very different situations and yet in many cases, where a suitcase, e.g. a tool or medical case, is always carried in the car for other reasons, practical does not take up any additional space.

The above object is achieved according to the innovation in that a case consisting of an upper part and a lower part with the upper part opened essentially in the vertical position, it can be set up in a stable manner on the lying lower part and in the upper part a holder for exchangeable attachment of warning and emergency signs in an essentially upright position and a lighting device for illuminating a sign fastened in the holder are attached.

The signs can be stowed in large numbers in a small space. Possible inscriptions or symbols can mean, for example: "Please help", "Please doctor", "Please police", "Please petrol", "Will be towed away".

GEU 8283 GM / 28.9.l97 _{? 137061l0}

In a preferred embodiment of the innovation, a battery for operating the lighting device is built into the case =, practically preferred is version _i in which the signs can be attached to the inside of the upper part in an inwardly inclined position and through a lamp attached to the case above the sign can be illuminated reflectively on the outside. Appropriately, a further lamp is also attached, which radiates essentially in the direction normal to the sign. In a further preferred embodiment of the innovation, one or both of the lamps mentioned is provided with a flashing circuit.

The innovation is explained in more detail below with reference to an embodiment shown in the drawing. Show it:

Fig. 1 is a simplified side view of a motor vehicle Tool case with a built-in device according to the innovation,

FIG. 2 shows one rotated by 90 ° with reference to FIG. 1

Side view of the warning and emergency call device.

The tool case 10 shown in the drawing differs from a normal tool case by the following Details:

The case contains tools, bandages or the like only in the lower part 12. With the lower part lying down, as shown in FIG. 1, the upper part of the case can be folded up into the vertical position. The lower part 12 is made heavy enough to so that the case has stability in the position shown. In the upper part of the case, namely on the inside, i.e. protected when the case is closed, there is an in substantially horizontally radiating lamp 14 and one inclined backwards in a substantially vertical direction from top to bottom in a holder, not shown in detail

fixed shield 16 radiating lamp 18. The power supply of the lamps 14 and 18 is carried out by one or more in the case arranged batteries 20. The lamps can also be flashing lights.

In the front view, as the device shows itself to an approaching driver, the sign 16 illuminated from the front above is visible and above it the lamp or light source 14 either point-like or strip-shaped. So that the signs can be seen from an even greater distance, it is a good idea to carry out them with luminous colors of a particularly good reflective surface

/ Protection claims

GEU 8283 GM / 9/28/1971

Claims (7)

Protection claims 1. Optical motor vehicle warning and emergency call device, characterized in that an ^{existing case (10) consisting of an upper part 1} and a lower part can be set up with an essentially open upper part au £ the lying lower part and in the upper part a Bracket for exchangeable attachment of warning and emergency call signs (16) in an essentially upright position and a lighting device for illuminating a sign (16) attached in the bracket are attached. 2. Device according to claim 1, characterized in that that the case (10) is a tool or medical case belonging to the motor vehicle accessories. 3. Apparatus according to claim 1 or 2, characterized in that in the case (10) a Battery (20) for operating the lighting device (18) is installed. 4. Device according to one of claims 1 to 3, dadur. ch characterized in that the shields (16) on the inside of the upper part in the inwardly inclined position attachable and by one above the shield.-rs on the case arranged lamp (18) reflect on the outside a ^ light ^ ar are. 5. Apparatus according to any one of claims 1 to 4, characterized in that the lighting device (18) can be operated flashing. 6. Apparatus according to one or more of the preceding claims, characterized in that another lamp (14) is attached to the case. which in GEU 8283 GM / 9/28/1971 radiates essentially in the direction normal to the shield (16). 7. Apparatus according to claim 6, characterized in that the further lamp (1A-) flashing is operable. Geu 8283 / February 21, 1972
