Definitions
- the invention relates to a license plate with an upper side which faces an observer in a mounted state, a lower side which faces away from an observer in an assembled state, and a luminous film.
- license plates for motor vehicles have a reflective surface. In this way, such license plates can be read even in the dark, namely when the license plate is illuminated by part of the vehicle lighting or by other light sources.
- a self-illuminating license plate also brings problems with it.
- the law requires that a license plate has a certain reflectivity, which plays an important role, particularly with regard to the detection of regulatory offenses during radar controls. These regulations are not met when using a self-illuminating license plate of the prior art.
- the invention has for its object to provide a license plate with a luminous film, in which the disadvantages mentioned are eliminated.
- the invention builds on the generic license plate in that the luminous film is provided with reflective means. In this way, the Advantages of a self-illuminating license plate combined with the legal requirements in an advantageous manner.
- the luminous film is preferably an electroluminescent film. By applying a suitable electrical voltage, the film can thus be illuminated in the desired manner.
- the reflecting means are preferably formed as part of the luminous film.
- the luminous film can therefore itself have reflection properties, which makes the construction of the license plate particularly simple.
- the reflecting means can also be advantageous for the reflecting means to be designed as a film which is arranged above the luminous film. This makes it possible to use an electroluminescent film as the luminous film without having to carry out these further processing steps. Rather, it is only necessary to arrange a reflective film above the electroluminescent film.
- a lens is arranged over the luminous film. This protects the sensitive components of the license plate against external influences. This also has a positive influence on the visual appearance of the license plate.
- the reflecting means are formed as part of the lens. It is therefore possible under certain circumstances to neither provide the electroluminescent film itself with reflective means nor to arrange an additional reflective film over the electroluminescent film.
- the lens is made of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA). It is a highly transparent material, which nevertheless has particularly good stability properties.
- PMMA polymethyl methacrylate
- the reflectivity of the reflecting means is set to a desired value by means of a pattern.
- Such patterns do not only influence the reflectivity, so that the legal regulations can be observed exactly. They also have decorative characteristics for the license plate.
- a label layer made of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) is provided as the top layer.
- PMMA polymethyl methacrylate
- Such a PMMA layer as a label layer can be attached particularly well to the lens, which preferably also consists of PMMA. It is possible to hot stamp the marks on the top layer.
- the top layer has areas for attaching additional markings. These areas can, for example, be designed in such a way that approval and technical monitoring badges can be attached particularly well.
- the identifier according to the invention can be prepared in such a way that recesses are provided for these potties.
- a frame which can be attached to a vehicle and holds the other components of the license plate.
- the components of the license plate, which comprise the electroluminescent film, do not therefore have to be attached directly to the vehicle. Rather, they can be accommodated by a protective frame.
- the other components of the license plate can preferably be removed from the frame only by destroying the frame. This increases the security against theft for the license plate, in particular if new blind frames are only issued by the vehicle registration office.
- the frame has markings. It would therefore no longer be necessary, for example, to affix an approval sticker to the license plate. Such an approval marking could rather be arranged on the window frame, which is re-issued by the vehicle registration office with each new registration anyway. It is advantageous if the frame is suitable to keep a conventional license plate. The owner of a motor vehicle can therefore take advantage of a frame marked with additional markings, even if he should prefer a conventional number plate for cost reasons.
- a ballast is preferably provided, which supplies the luminous film with voltage.
- This ballast is, for example, able to supply an electroluminescent film with a voltage of approximately 100 V, which is transformed from the usual battery voltage of 12 V.
- the ballast is connected to the frame in such a way that the ballast can be removed when changing the frame.
- the ballast is permanently connected to the frame during normal driving.
- the invention is based on the surprising finding that the advantages of a self-illuminating license plate can be combined in a simple manner with the requirements of a certain reflectivity.
- FIG. 1 shows a part of a motor vehicle with an identification plate according to the invention attached to it.
- FIG. 1 shows a sectional view of a license plate 10 according to the invention, which is attached to a motor vehicle.
- the license plate 10 is carried by a license plate holder 12, which also serves as a bumper.
- the license plate is held by a frame 14.
- An electroluminescent film 18 is arranged above the base plate 16. This can be designed to be reflective.
- a light pane 20 made of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) is arranged above the electroluminescent film 18. This can also be designed as a reflector.
- the actual identifier 22 made of PMMA is arranged as the uppermost layer above the lens made of PMMA, the characters of the identifier 22 being hot stamped.
- the Voltage, which is required for the lighting of the electroluminescent film 18, is provided by a ballast 24.
- the number plate 10 is replaced by a conventional number plate, which can preferably also be carried by the frame 14, it is possible to maintain a conventional number plate light 26.
- a conventional number plate light 26 This is advantageously used not only to illuminate the license plate, but rather also as a rear field pre-illumination of the vehicle.
- four lamps are arranged above the license plate as conventional license plate lights 26, for example, which illuminate the license plate and the rear apron.
