Abstract

An optical emergency signal transmitter has a number of light diodes 14 on a dome-shaped light diode holder 18, whose surface 19 is covered with a reflex-reflecting material, wherein the light diodes 14 project from this surface and are arranged so that at least two of them are visible when viewing the emergency signal transmitter from the side or at a higher elevation relative to the base plane of the light diode holder. <IMAGE>

Description

8007511-2 10 _15 20 25 30 §5 2 samtidigt vid betraktande av hållaren 13 från sidan eller i högre elevation relativt hâllarens basplan. Vid det vi- sade utföringsexemplet finns sålunda fem i en krans anord- nade lysdioder 14, som är anordnade på en medelpunktsvinkel av ungefär 300 relativt domens basplan. Pâ domens topp finns en sjätte lysdiod. Lysdioderna matas med ström från en icke visad elektrisk kretsanordning, som avger sådana strömpulser till lysdioderna, att dessa vid strömpulser med en toppströmstyrka av ca 180 mA avger ljuspulser med en ljusstyrka av ca.2 cd. 8007511-2 10 _15 20 25 30 §5 2 at the same time when looking at the holder 13 from the side or in higher elevation relative to the base plane of the holder. In the exemplary embodiment shown, there are thus five LEDs arranged in a ring, which are arranged at a center point angle of approximately 300 relative to the base plane of the dome. At the top of the dome is a sixth LED. The LEDs are supplied with current from an electrical circuit device (not shown), which emits such current pulses to the LEDs that in the case of current pulses with a peak current of approx. 180 mA, they emit light pulses with a brightness of approx. 2 cd.

Enligt uppfinningen är den domformade hâllaren 13 försedd med en ytbeläggning i form av ett reflexreflekte- rande material av den typ som försäljs av t ex Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Company. Effekten av denna be- läggning med reflexreflekterande material är tvåfaldig, såsom kommer att förklaras i samband med fig 3. Fig 3 vi- sar sâlunda en principskiss, där ett parti av hållaren 13 och några av lysdioderna 14 visas. Linjen 15 represen- terar i detta fall en vattenyta, som lika gärna kan vara belägen längre ner, räknat från hållarens basplan. Ljus- strålar 16 från lysdioden 14 kommer att totalreflekteras i vattenytan 15 genom den låga infallsvinkeln, vilket görl att man vid flygspaning kommer att uppfatta den i och för sig lilla nödsignalsändaren som en stor lysande yta på vattenytan, varvid ljusspridningsvinkeln är mycket stor.According to the invention, the dome-shaped holder 13 is provided with a surface coating in the form of a reflective reflective material of the type sold by, for example, Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Company. The effect of this coating with reflective reflective material is twofold, as will be explained in connection with Fig. 3. Fig. 3 thus shows a principle sketch, in which a portion of the holder 13 and some of the LEDs 14 are shown. In this case, line 15 represents a water surface, which can just as easily be located further down, calculated from the base level of the holder. Light beams 16 from the LED 14 will be totally reflected in the water surface 15 by the low angle of incidence, which means that in flight reconnaissance the per se small emergency signal transmitter will be perceived as a large luminous surface on the water surface, the light scattering angle being very large.

Den reflexreflekterande beläggningen på domens yta gör, att ljusstrâlar 17, som lysdioden 14 utsänder i riktning mot ytan kommer att reflekteras tillbaka tvärs genom lys- dioden och sâlunda bilda en del av ljusstrâlarna 16. Den reflexreflekterande beläggningen medför därför en väsent- lig förstärkning av ljusstyrkan i ljusstrâlarna 16. Den reflexreflekterande beläggningen är dessutom fördelaktig, eftersom den kommer att med hög ljustäthet reflektera strålkastarljus från t ex spanande helikoptrar. _ Effekten av den reflexreflekterande ytan som förstär- ker ljustätheten i ljusstrålarna 16, kan enligt uppfinning- en förstärkas ytterligare om den domformade lysdiodhållaren utformas ungefär som en prismatisk kropp 18 med närmelsevis 10 3 plana ytor 19 runt åtminstone flertalet av lysdioderna 14.The reflective coating on the surface of the dome means that light rays 17 emitted by the LED 14 in the direction of the surface will be reflected back across the LED and thus form a part of the light rays 16. The reflective coating therefore substantially enhances the brightness. in the light beams 16. The reflex reflective coating is also advantageous, since it will reflect high light density with high beam light from, for example, reconnaissance helicopters. According to the invention, the effect of the reflective reflecting surface which enhances the light density in the light beams 16 can be further enhanced if the dome-shaped LED holder is designed approximately as a prismatic body 18 with approximately 3 flat surfaces 19 around at least most of the LEDs 14.

En sådan utföringsform av uppfinningen visas i fig 4, där även huset ll givits en annan utformning.Such an embodiment of the invention is shown in Fig. 4, where the housing 11 is also given a different design.

Den i nödsignalsändaren ingående strömbrytaranord- ningen har icke närmare visats, eftersom den kan utfor- mas på många sätt.The switch device included in the emergency signal transmitter has not been shown in more detail, as it can be designed in many ways.

Vid det 1 fig 4 visade utföringsexemplet har den domformade lysdiodhållaren 18 utformats som en separat kropp, vilken är fastsättbar med en bajonettfattning och är avtätad mot huset ll med lämpliga tätningar, så att nödsignalsändaren är vattentät.In the embodiment shown in Fig. 4, the dome-shaped LED holder 18 has been designed as a separate body, which can be fastened with a bayonet socket and is sealed against the housing 11 with suitable seals, so that the emergency signal transmitter is watertight.
