Description:

The innovation relates to a device suitable for installation in a motor vehicle for monitoring the parking time, with a: visible from the outside, which can be brought into an initial position, a signal device, possibly designed as a clock scale, including a time scale and a signal device on the signal device acting clockwork, which are arranged in a housing.

According to an older proposal, a generic one Device provided to provide an electric motor and a gear driven by this in the housing, which spend the signal device, for example in the form of an arrow in its starting position when the electric motor to the on-board voltage via a contact that is automatically activated when the driver's door is closed is connected. The clockwork set in motion or running at the same time and the one in its starting position The pointers placed (parking arrow) then indicate the parking time that has elapsed since you activated the contact. - At This older proposal therefore requires an electric motor and the corresponding leads to the on-board network.

In contrast, the innovation is intended to create a further embodiment for a device of the generic type that do not require an electric motor or electrical energy.

According to the innovation, this is achieved by a connected to the case, on the mainspring of the clockwork and the signaling device acting Bowden cable, at the other end of which can be attached to the door frame of the vehicle body Actuating device is arranged.

Further useful refinements, the innovation are the subject of the subclaims.

An embodiment of an arrangement according to the innovation is shown in the drawings and is described below. From the drawings shows

Fig. 1 is a view of the display device

and the case containing the timepiece;

Fig. 2 is a section along the line A-A in Fig. 1;

3 shows a section along the line B-B in Fig. 1;

4 shows the actuating device mounted on the door or on the wall of the body in FIG a view from above with the door half open, and

5 shows the actuating device shown in FIG. 4 in a front view,

The arrangement basically comprises the housing 1 with the display device and the mechanical clockwork, the power-transmitting Bowden cable 2 and the actuating device 4, 5 for the Bowden cable, which is arranged on the door frame, i.e. on the wall of the vehicle body, or on the door.

The actuating device for the Bowden cable 2 consists of the mounting plate 4, which is attached to the side wall with screws 6 attached next to the door. A lever 7 is rotatably mounted at the pivot point 8 on the mounting plate 4. On. to the The cable 13 of the Bowden cable 2 is attached to a lever of the lever arm, and the other end of the angle lever 7 acts on it the plunger 5 a. The plunger 5 is attached to the door. The fastening screws 11 engage through elongated holes 12 which permit precise adjustment of the plunger 5.

Inside the housing 1, the cable 13 of the Bowden cable 2 is around the segment 14 of the cable pulley 15 in the form of a segment of a circle bypassed and fastened with the pin 16 on the pulley 15. The return springs 19 act on the pin 18. With the pulley 15 is arranged concentrically to it Gear 21 connected. The Zataraci 21 meshes with the gear 22, which in turn is the mainspring via a slip clutch 24 winds up.

The clockwork driven by the mainspring 24 comprises, in the usual manner, gears 25 and a balance 26, which for this purpose ensure that the parking arrow 27 aligns with the on the scale division coordinated speed moved over the time scale.

The arrangement works as follows: When the door is opened gives the rope 13 of the Bowden cable 2, and the return springs 19 bring the parking arrow 27 via the pinion 21, 22 In its final position. At the same time, they relax the mainspring 24

When the door is closed, the cable 13 of the Bowden cable 2 moves the parking arrow 27 into the starting position via the gear drive 21, 22 brought. At the same time, the mainspring 24 is tensioned, whereby the clockwork is set in motion. the Park arrow 27 now moves across the scale, so now The duration of the parking time can be read from the outside.

The pulling distance of the Bowden cable 2 is dimensioned so that at the smallest opening angle of the door, that of the driver still allows getting out, the tensioning of the mainspring 24 of the clockwork is secured. By adjusting screws 29 can limit the end positions of the pulley 15 will.
