Abstract

A signal lamp (5) provided with a contact (9) serves for determining a predetermined parking position of a motor vehicle on a parking space, in particular inside a garage. This signal lamp (5) is secured on a bracket (3), the length of which is greater than the predetermined distance of the motor vehicle (12) from the garage wall. In this way, the bracket (3) projects into the parking space. Connected to the signal lamp (5) is a rod (11) suspended pendulum-fashion, the upper end of which lies opposite the contact (9). When the motor vehicle (12) touches the rod (11), it presses against the contact (9) and thereby causes the signal lamp (5) to light up. <IMAGE>

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zur Feststellung einer vorgegebenen Parksituation eines Kraftfahrzeuges auf einem Abstellplatz insbesondere innerhalb einer Garage unter Verwendung einer mit einem Kontakt versehenen Signallampe. Es ist bei Alarmanlagen be - kannt, Lichtschranken zu verwenden. Hierbei wird beim Durchgang eines Gegenstandes der auf die Photozellen fallende Lichtstrahl unterbrochen und so eine Änderung des Photozellenstromes hervorgerufen.The invention relates to a device for determining a predetermined parking situation of a motor vehicle on a parking space, in particular within a garage, using a signal lamp provided with a contact. It is known to use light barriers in alarm systems. Here, when an object passes, the light beam falling on the photocells is interrupted, thus causing a change in the photocell current.

Derartige Photozellen sind für den eingangs genannten Verwendungszweck zwar grundsätzlich möglich, jedoch zu aufwendig und zu teuer.Such photocells are possible in principle for the purpose mentioned at the outset, but they are too complex and too expensive.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Vor - richtung zur Feststellung einer vorgegebenen Park - situation eines Kraftfahrzeuges auf einem Abstell - platz insbesondere innerhalb einer Garage zu schaffen, bei der mit einfachen Mitteln eine der Lichtschranken ähnliche Wirkung erzielt wird. Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß die Signallampe auf einer Konsole befestigt ist,deren Länge größer ist als der vorgegebene Abstand des Kraftfahrzeuges von der Garagenwand und daß mit der Signallampe ein pendelnd aufgehängter Stab verbunden ist dessen eines Ende dem Kontakt der Signallampe gegenübersteht. Vorzugsweise ist der Kontakt als Mikro-Schalter ausge - bildet. Berührt bei dieser Vorrichtung ein Teil des Kraftfahrzeug z.B. die Stoßstange den pendelnd auf - gehängten Stab so schlägt dieser nach hinten aus und das obere Ende des Stabes betätigt den Kontakt. Das Aufleuchten der Signallampe zeigt die Parkgrenze an.The object of the invention is to create a device for determining a given parking situation of a motor vehicle on a parking space, particularly within a garage, in which an effect similar to the light barriers is achieved with simple means. This object is achieved in that the signal lamp is attached to a console, the length of which is greater than the predetermined distance of the motor vehicle from the garage wall and that a pendulum-suspended rod is connected to the signal lamp, one of which Faces the contact of the signal lamp. The contact is preferably designed as a microswitch. In this device, if a part of the motor vehicle touches the bumper, for example, the pendulum-suspended rod, it bounces backwards and the upper end of the rod actuates the contact. The lighting of the signal lamp indicates the parking limit.

Wird das Kraftfahrzeug danach wieder so weit zurückgefahren, daß der Stab seine Ausgangslage einnimmt, so erlischt die Signallampe und gibt damit die vorgegebene Parksituation an.If the motor vehicle is then moved back so far that the rod assumes its starting position, the signal lamp goes out and thus indicates the specified parking situation.

Diese erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung zeichnet sich, da sie auf aufwendige und komplizierte Konstruktions - elemente verzichtet, durch einen einfachen Aufbau aus.This device according to the invention is characterized by a simple construction, since it dispenses with complex and complex construction elements.

Sie läßt sich-auch von Ungeübten anbringen.It can also be installed by inexperienced users.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung-ist in der Zeichnung dargestellt und wird im folgendem näher be - schrieben.An embodiment of the invention is shown in the drawing and is described in more detail below.

Es zeigen:

  • Figur 1 als Seitenansicht den Innenraum einer Garage mit einer Vorrichtung gemäß der Erfindung in eingeschaltetem Zustand,
  • Figur 2 die Seitenansicht der Vorrichtung im ausge - schalteten Zustand, und
  • Figur 3 den Längsschnitt durch die Vorrichtung.
Show it:
  • 1 shows a side view of the interior of a garage with a device according to the invention in the switched-on state,
  • FIG. 2 shows the side view of the device in the switched-off state, and
  • Figure 3 shows the longitudinal section through the device.

An der Rückwand 1 einer Garage 2 ist eine Konsole 3 mittels Schrauben 4 ortsfest, jedoch lösbar ver - bunden. Die Länge der Konsole 3 ist größer als der vorgegebene Abstand des Kraftfahrzeuges 12 von der Rückwand 1, so daß die Konsole 3 in den Parkraum der Garage 2 hineinragt. Die Konsole 3 trägt eine Signallampe 5. Der Sockel 6 der Signallampe 5 ist in einem Langloch in der Konsole 3 verschiebbar und mit Hilfe einer Schraubverbindung 7 festklemmbar.On the rear wall 1 of a garage 2, a bracket 3 is connected in a stationary but detachable manner by means of screws 4. The length of the console 3 is greater than the predetermined distance of the motor vehicle 12 from the rear wall 1, so that the console 3 in the parking space Garage 2 protrudes. The console 3 carries a signal lamp 5. The base 6 of the signal lamp 5 can be moved in an elongated hole in the console 3 and can be clamped with the aid of a screw connection 7.

Die Signallampe 5 wird in Augenhöhe des Fahrers an - gebracht. Sie wird von einer eingebauten 1,5 - 12 V Batterie 8 oder aus dem Netz gespeist. Die Signal - lampe 5 ist mit einem Kontakt versehen, der nach Figur 3 aus zwei federnden Zungen 9 besteht.The signal lamp 5 is installed at the driver's eye level. It is powered by a built-in 1.5 - 12 V battery 8 or from the mains. The signal lamp 5 is provided with a contact which, according to FIG. 3, consists of two resilient tongues 9.

Als Kontakt kann auch ein Mikro-Schalter benutzt werden.A micro switch can also be used as a contact.

An der Signallampe 5 ist um einen Bolzen 10 pendelnd ein aus Kunststoff bestehender Stab 11 aufgehängt. Der Stab 11 reicht bis zur Höhe der Stoßstange des Kraftfahrzeuges 12.On the signal lamp 5, a rod 11 consisting of plastic is suspended from a bolt 10. The rod 11 extends to the height of the bumper of the motor vehicle 12.

Durch die Berührung mit der Stoßstange oder einem anderen Teil des Kraftfahrzeuges 12 wird der Stab 11 aus seiner Ruhelage in Richtung auf die Rückwand 1 der Garage 2 bewegt. Das obere Ende des Stabes 11 steht den Zungen 9 des Kontaktes gegenüber. Beim Auspendeln des Stabes 11 drückt sein oberes Ende gegen die Zungen 9, wodurch der Stromkreis geschlossen wird und die Signallampe 5 aufleuchtet.By touching the bumper or another part of the motor vehicle 12, the rod 11 is moved from its rest position towards the rear wall 1 of the garage 2. The upper end of the rod 11 faces the tongues 9 of the contact. When the rod 11 swings out, its upper end presses against the tongues 9, as a result of which the circuit is closed and the signal lamp 5 lights up.

Wird das Kraftfahrzeug anschließend soweit zurück - gefahren, daß der Stab 11 gerade in seine Ruhelage zurückpendelt, so erlischt die Signallampe 5 und zeigt dadurch die richtige Parksituation an.If the motor vehicle is then driven back so far that the rod 11 is swinging back into its rest position, the signal lamp 5 goes out and thereby indicates the correct parking situation.
