Each block 8 and 9 has a side ledge, a front surface 12 or

13, respectively, which faces the driver and carries a group of indicator lights to indicate the operating status of the relevant auxiliary devices of the vehicle, for example, turning on lights (sidelights, high beam or dim light), no brake fluid, applying a hand brake, etc. .

The location of p, vuh blocks 8 and 9 (Fig 1 and 2) and. The respective surfaces of the 12 and 13 side projections are such that they are all visible to the driver through the upper part of the steering wheel. Placing them on the casing 1, and not on the dashboard, eliminates the blockage of the dashboard and brings the devices closer to the driver's eyes.

For unit 3 and 4, controls are mounted on case 1 by means of respective lateral support bosses 14 and 15, symmetrically attached to opposite sides of case 1.

The structure of the control unit 4, located on the left side of the skin. Xi 1, is shown in Fig. 4 and corresponds to the construction of the block 3, shown in Fig. 3.

A second tubular support element 30 is attached to the hollow boss 15 of the housing 1, on which the following controls are mounted in the following sequence:

- a wide bushing-type ring 31, provided with a hole 32 into which the panel 33 can be inserted with the possibility of removal, carrying indicator lamps for directional indicators and a group of indicator lamps connected with other accessories of the vehicle;

second control ring 34, provided with a third radial lip 35 and designed to

for controlling direction indicators, for example: the ring 34 has movable contacts on its annular end surface;

- the third fixed ring-shaped element 36, having on its end surface adjacent to the ring 34, contacts for interaction

with moving contacts of a ring 34J

- control ring 37 mounted rotatably and displaced in the axial direction and provided with a drive protrusion 38 and contacts on its annular end surface facing towards the fixed element 36 for interacting with the fixed contacts

on the adjacent end surface of the element 36; turning the rings provides control of the switching of the car's light between three positions, corresponding to the switching on of headlights, low beam headlights and high beam 1 headlights;

- sixth rotary ring 39 controls in the form of a knurled drum

- another fixed ring-shaped element 40;

- the seventh rotary ring 41 of the control in the form of a drum;

-second button switch 42, similar to switch 28 in FIG. 3, and intended to control the sound signal.

The fourth fixed ring-shaped element 40 has fixed contacts on each end annular surface for interacting with movable contacts on respective adjacent end surfaces of rings 39 and 41. Through two rings 39 and 41, corresponding auxiliary devices such as a heating element for the rear window of the car and Fan Ventilation systems and car interior heating.

As in the block shown in Fig. 3, the electrical wires for connecting the fixed contacts with the electrical circuit of the car and with the corresponding auxiliary devices pass through the longitudinal slot 43 into the third tubular element 30.

The protrusions 21, 24 and 35, 38 are directed downwards and / or towards the main plane of the steering wheel 2, as shown in FIG. 2, and are located behind the rim of the steering wheel 2. This allows the driver to turn the rings 25, 23, 34 and 37 with his finger , do not actually take your hands off the steering wheel.

The operation of the control units is described by the nuke with respect to the fixed element 36 and the rotary ring 37, (FIG. 5), where the movable contact on the ring 37 is indicated by the position 44,

Moving the protrusion 38 of the ring 37 in the direction of arrow A moves the movable contact 44 until it comes into contact with the corresponding fixed contacts on the ring-shaped element 36, as a result of which the main signal circuit of the headlamps closes. Located between the ring 37 and the ring-shaped element 36, a spring (not shown) tends to press the ring 37 away from the element 36 and open the lighting circuit. Thus, the driver can cause a flash of light in the phases simply by moving the protrusion 38 with the finger and releasing it.

Below (FIG. 6), part of the support structures for the two control units 3 and 4 is described, the description is made in relation to the fastening of the unit 3 on the boss 14, and the fastening of the unit 4 to the boss 15 is identical with the fastening of the unit 3,

The hollow boss 14 has an annular end wall 45 with an outer v-shaped spherical surface 46 and an internal convex spherical surface 47, and the adjacent end of the sleeve 17 has a convex spherical

surface 48, which interacts with surface 46, and cylindrical surface 49. The tubular support element 16 protruding from said end of sleeve 17 into hollow boss 14 is provided with an external screw thread 50, onto which a ring 51 with a peripheral flange 52 is screwed, with a flange 52 and an inner spherical surface 47 of the wall 45 houses a screw spring 53. The sleeve 17 abuts axially against the annular step 54 on the outer surface of the tubular element 16.

The tubular element 16 passes through a central opening 55 in the end wall 45 of the hollow boss 14, having a diameter much larger than the diameter of element 16. As a result, a radial clearance is obtained, which makes it possible to change the angular position of the tubular element 16 and, therefore, the entire shaft. 62 steering column (i.e.

the direction of the indicated rotation of the car) and, therefore, the tooth 76, which engages with the shoulder-dog: oh two-arm lever 74, in the direction of the arrow c causes the lever 73 to rotate to the position shown in Fig.7 by dashed lines and indicated by 77 , and the axial movement of the rod part 68, even more

J2 increases the load on the spring 71, and after the passage of the tooth 76, the shoulder-dog is released.

The torsion spring 78 tends to turn the ring 34 to neutral while 3 controls relative to the central axis of the bob 14, which allows the position of the block to be adjusted in accordance with the requirements of convenience for the driver.

In order to block the block 3 in the required position, after its angular positioning is properly adjusted, a screw 56 is provided in the wall 45 of the bobster 14, which can be turned or turned away from the outside of the boss 14 and which acts with its internal end on the serrated wedge 57, which interacts with the serrated surface 58, formed by the 40, but at this stage the return is not

spherical surface 48.

Figures 7 and 8 show a mechanism for controlling directional signs, including the fifth rotary ring 34 of the left unit 4.

The ring 34 has three V-shaped grooves 59, 60 and 61 on the end surface facing the shaft 62 of the steering wheel. These grooves are separated by two wider bridges 63 and 64. The ball 65 enters the groove 61 and is pressed by a spring 66 placed in ring 31 (. Cm, Fig. 4), which ensures that the ring 34 is held in a neutral position corresponding to off the direction indicators.

Inside the ring 31 and the hollow boss 15, pairs run longitudinally

rods 67, 68 and 69, 70, each of which is at one end in contact with a corresponding jumper 63, 64. Each rod consists of two parts, somewhat separated by helical springs 71 and 72, respectively, extending in the axial direction of the rods 67, 68 or 69, 70. The end of the rod 68 closest to the shaft 62 is in contact with one shoulder of the two-arm corner lever 73, which can be rotated around the axis 74, and which the return spring 75 acts on. The other shoulder

the lever 73 is in the path of movement of the tooth 76, which is not attached to the shaft 62, in order to enable it to rotate with the shaft.

When the ring 34 is rotated in the direction of the arrow B to indicate a change in direction, the rod 67 moves away from the web 63 and enters the groove .60, further compressing the spring 71. In this position, the corresponding occurs because the force of the compressed spring 71 is sufficient to overcome the turning force of the spring 78.

When the steering returns, after turning to the straight-ahead position of the car (arrow D), the tooth 76 acts on the lever 73 in the direction opposite to the previous one and turns it to the position indicated in figure 8 with the position 79. This allows the spring 71 to unclench sufficiently for In order to allow the spring 78 to return the ring 34 to its original, neutral position in the direction of the arrow E in FIG. 7.

The operation of the rods 69 and 70 is similar (but only in the opposite direction) to the operation of the rods 67 and 68,

moreover, the rod portion 70 is engaged with another two-arm corner lever 80 located below the lever 73 and can engage with the second tooth 81 mounted on the shaft 62.

Figures 9-13 show the safety devices associated with the rotary ring 37 (Figure 4) and the rings 25 and 27 shown in Figure 3.

The movable contacts on the ring 37 and the corresponding fixed contacts on the ring-shaped element 36 are placed in such a way that, at the first angular position of the ring 37, the lighting devices are turned on, the first turn of the ring 37 in the direction of the arrow F causes it to be switched to the second angular position corresponding to the switching on turning — still in the direction of arrow F — it is shifted to the position corresponding to the dipped headlights and the third turning of the ring 37 — again in the direction of arrow F — it is shifted to its position corresponding to the main beam headlights.

For safety purposes, it is desirable that after turning the ring 37 to a position corresponding to the dipped headlights, it can only be rotated freely between the positions corresponding to the inclusion of the main beam and the dipped headlights respectively, so that the driver cannot accidentally turn the ring 37 back in position to include only front position.

For this purpose, a groove 82 (shown also in FIG. 4) is provided in the end surface of the ring 37 facing the stationary ring element 36, and in the stationary element 36 it is installed with a sliding movement parallel to the axis of rotation of the ring 37, the pin 83 interacting with As a bolt, the pin 83 is pressed in the direction towards the ring 37 by a helical pressure spring 84 embedded in the element 36. The groove 82 is formed along the circumference, I

The protrusion 85 on the locking pin 83

protrudes radially outward from element 36 and can be pressed manually in the direction of arrow G, i.e. against the action of the spring 84, the outer side of the thumb of the left hand, with the other fingers of this hand being free

us and can rotate the ring 37 through the protrusion 38.

The relative positions of the ring 37 and the locking pin 83 are such that

when the ring 37 is in the first and second positions, corresponding to switching off the light devices or turning on the sidelights only, the locking pin 83 should be removed

from the groove 82 (Fig. 10) against the action of the spring 84, and when passing between these two positions, the protruding end of the pin 83 slides along the adjacent annular face

the surface of the ring 37 “When transferring the ring 37 from the second to the third position, corresponding to the inclusion of dipped headlights, the locking pin 83 drops into the groove 82 (FIG. 11) ..

The length of the groove 82 along the arc corresponds to the angular distance between the third and fourth positions (Dsch light is on) of the ring 37p, so that the passage of the ring 37 between these two positions occurs with the pin 83 sliding along the bottom of the groove 82.

When transferring the ring 37 from the fourth position to the third (in the direction opposite to the arrow F), the pin 83 rests against the side wall 86 of the groove 82, preventing the ring from being accidentally rotated to a second position where only the headlights are turned on. The return to the second or first position is possible only after the pin 83 is removed from the groove 82 by pressing the protrusion 85 in the direction of the arrow G, i.e. in position 87, shown in Figure 9 with dashed lines.

Similar safety devices are provided for rings 25 and

27 block 3, since it is desirable that they cannot be accidentally shifted from their corners; starting positions. For this purpose, the ring 25 and 27 is provided with a recess 88 and 89, respectively, in the end surface facing the adjacent stationary ring-shaped element 265, with which (notch) the corresponding pin 90 and 91 interact, pressed against the rings 25 and 27 by a respective helical spring 92 and 93, embedded in a fixed ring ™. a different element 26. The springs 92 and 93 are identical to the spring 84 or similar.

it performs similar functions. Each pin 90 and 91 has a corresponding protrusion 94 and 95 for control, similar to or identical to the protrusion 85 and intended for the same purpose.

The interaction of the ring 25 with the locking pin 90 is shown in Figs 12 and 13, and the ring 27 and the pin 91 interact in the same way. As shown in FIG. 13, when the ring 25 is in the neutral position, the locking pin 90 enters the recess 88, which is only slightly wider in the circumferential direction than the pin 90, so that the ring 25 cannot be accidentally moved to the working position.

In order to move the ring 25 to the working position, it is necessary to press the protrusion 94 against the action of the spring 92 to the position 96, shown in Fig.9 by dashed lines, in which the locking pin 90 comes out of the recess 68 (Fig. 13) and allows turn ring 25.

A similar manipulation of the protrusion 95 allows the ring 27 to rotate from its original position to one or another of its operating positions, in which either left or right parking lights are turned on.

Not only the design of the safety device described above is possible. The configuration and location of the locking pin (bolt) may differ from those described. In particular, the locking pin can be mounted in a rotating ring and can interact with grooves or recesses formed in annular fixed elements.

In the embodiment of the support structure of the control panel (Fig. 14), the case 1 and the support lugs 14 and 15 (Figures 1 and 2) are shown in a disassembled form.

corresponding shelf 102 by means of bolts 110 inserted into holes 108 and 109 and corresponding nuts 111. Thus, the installation and removal of blocks 105 and 106

are easy. An electrical wire bundle will extend from each control unit 105, 106, and since it will be necessary to connect or disconnect these wires with the vehicle electrical circuit, suitable connectors (not shown) can be provided on the plate 100.

On the ends of the control blocks 105 and 106 far from the plate, controls are assembled similar to those shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 and therefore not described below. The combination formed by the plate 100 and the attached ends of the control blocks 104, 105 is closed with a casing which consists of the upper 112 and lower 113 halves, preferably molded from a plastic material.

Both halves have curved portions 114-117 protruding from the respective side walls and forming hollow bosses during assembly of housing halves, similar to bosses 14 and 15- (Figures 1 and 2) in terms of covering the inner end parts of blocks 105 and 106, but not in the performance of the support function for blocks 105 and 106.

Both halves 112 and 113 are assembled on the shelves 102 of the plate 100 by means of bolts 118 passing through the tubular tides 119, 120, in the shell halves and through the corresponding holes 121 in the shelves 102 and interacting with the nuts 122.

Only the control units 105 and 106 can be removed after removing the flies .112 and 113.

The upper half of the housing 112 has a flat upper wall in which a rectangular opening 123 is formed. In this opening a panel 124 with indicator lights can be installed with the possibility of removal

In the embodiment shown in Figures 1 and 2, the control units protrude on the sides of the steering column immediately behind the steering wheel. This arrangement allows the user to easily and freely use a large number of controls for auxiliary devices associated with driving a car.

In the control units shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the rings are provided with
