Signaling device

The innovation concerns a signaling device for the identification of special and emergency vehicles for IbLiseL, doctors, Fire brigade or the like, consisting essentially of a fastening and writing surface on the vehicle roof, if necessary forming support member and at least one signal light connected therewith.

The aim of the innovation is to create a signaling device with which civil vehicles can quickly and easily get to Sonderbzw. Have emergency vehicles retrofitted and also quickly and easily converted back into civilian vehicles later can be. In particular, the purpose of the innovation is to design such a signaling device so that an efficient Manufacture of the main part of the device, namely the support member, is made possible, regardless of which particular one Execution of the «signal device in the finished state (e.g. So for police, doctors, fire brigade or the like) each should have.

For this purpose, the innovation provides that the support member as a closed is formed substantially across the width of the vehicle roof extending, relatively flat box, the The front and back each have a recess that essentially exposes the corresponding box surface and its Upper side as a support plate provided with at least one opening for optical and / or fixed mountable on the box acoustic signal generator is formed.

In a further embodiment of the signal device according to the invention, the recesses are preferably wholly or partially from translucent, optionally usable writing and / or drawing boards occupied and inside the box one or several lights provided. If the gaps are only partially filled with writing and / or drawing boards Areas of the cutouts, preferably the respective side areas, with loudspeakers and / or acoustic signal generators be occupied.

In a further advantageous embodiment of the signal device according to the innovation are three openings, two lateral and one in the middle, are provided in the support plate of the box, which are sealed by on or inserted, removable covers can optionally be occupied with the optical and / or acoustic signal generators.

According to the innovation, the box on the underside of the signaling device with v / oak support buffers or rubber suction cups is useful and with laterally protruding, known ones

Provide brackets for attachment to the water drainage channel on the vehicle roof.

Overall, the innovation thus enables a signal box that is always constant in its basic form and thus also in its production and only in the course of the final assembly to the respective special purpose can be adapted by appropriate equipment. That way, leave with a basic part all eligible special. Applications for such signaling devices as required from the manufacturing side capture rationally. The retrofitting of such a signaling device for a different purpose is also relatively simple to be carried out later.

The subject of the innovation is shown below with the aid of a drawing explained in more detail for three different use cases:

Fig. 1 shows a signal box 1 according to the innovation in the end equipment for patient transport. The signal box 1 can be attached quickly and easily to the water drainage channel 3 of a vehicle roof 4 with brackets 2 attached to its underside and slightly protruding outward on both narrow sides, with soft support buffers or rubber suction cups on the underside of the signal box 1 for damage-free support are provided on the vehicle roof ¹ I. The signal box is connected to an electrical line (not shown) that can be routed through the window of the vehicle, for example

corresponding plug can be connected inside the vehicle,

The signal box 1 has on its front side (and also on its rear side) a recess 5, which essentially occupies the corresponding front or rear surface of the box, the recess 5 in the front and rear of the signal box 1 is here on the whole with translucent writing and drawing boards, namely a central writing board 6 and two drawing boards each occupying the side areas of the recess 5 ' occupied. Inside the signal box 1 are several, the writing and drawing boards 6, 7 with permanent light illuminating lights (not shown) are provided.

The upper side 8 of the signal box 1 is designed as a rigid support plate, e.g. by means of one provided in the interior of the box 1 vertical stiffening ribs, so that on the top of the signal box, in connection with in this top 8 provided Openings, optical and / or acoustic signal generators can be attached. In the illustrated embodiment are this in the support plate forming the top 8 of the signal box 1, three openings, namely two lateral and one central, are provided, whereby the two side openings are each controlled by an optical signal transmitter 9 (e.g. a blue or red flashing or Rotating light) and the middle one with an acoustic signal generator: (e.g. a multi-tone fanfare or siren) are occupied by having their respective housing firmly attached to the support plate Top 8 of the signal box are connected.

The Pig. 2 shows the signal box 1 with its brackets 2 _{f of} the recess 5 and the upper side designed as a support plate in an application form for the identification of a vehicle for fire service use. In this case, the recess 5 on the front and rear of the signal box 1 is provided with only one inscription board 11, which occupies the entire recess 5 and is illuminated from the inside of the box. On the upper side of the support plate 8 of the signal box 1, an optical signal transmitter 9 (for example a flashing or rotating light) is provided here only in the middle.

Finally, FIG. 3 shows the signal box according to the innovation in equipment for use in marking police emergency vehicles. In this application form differentiates the signal box from the one described above for Fig. 1! Application form in that of the recesses 5 in the Stir.n- and back of the signal box 1 each only the middle area with the corresponding transparent and from the inside of the box illuminated signboard 12 is occupied, while the two side areas of the recess 5 are each occupied by speakers or whose external facings are occupied. The optical and acoustic signal generators 9, 10 are again in the same design and arrangement, as described above for FIG. 1, attached to the support plate top 8 of the signal box.

From the above it can be seen that the signal box according to the innovation 1 can be equipped with the same basic design for a wide variety of applications. Advantageous

It can be the case when three openings, namely two lateral and one central, are made in the top 8 of the box 1 in the support plate top side 8, which are sealed by removable covers 1 * 1, such as in Fig. 2 recognizable, are occupied in order to be able to optionally mount the respective optical and / or acoustic signal generators 9,10 in the final equipment without further drilling work or also a subsequent conversion of the signal box from one to several optical and / or to enable acoustic signaling devices. It is also expedient to use the transparent writing and / or drawing boards 6 , 7; 11; 12. and / or to attach the loudspeaker panels 13 replaceably in the recesses 5 of the signal box by means of suitable brackets.

In addition, it goes without saying that in addition to those shown in FIGS and use cases described above, of course, also other equipment and applications for the innovation-related signal box are conceivable and possible, v / obei the electrical equipment of the signal box with his Supply cable is adapted accordingly.
