Titel "Seiten-Spoiler für Automobile" Title "Side spoilers for automobiles"
BESCHREIBUNGDESCRIPTION
Die betreffende Erfindung beinhaltet zwei Seiten-Spoiler für Automobile aller Art. Diese Erfindung ist für Rennautos sowie für gewöhnliche Autos gedacht. Wie für einen Fachmann in der Autobranche bekannt, ist ein Rennauto bzw. gewöhnliches Automobil in der Kurve grossem seitlichen Druck ausgesetzt, und somit ist das Automobil schleudergefährdet. Besonders mit dem Heck des Autos. Dies erfordert eine erhebliche Reduktion der Geschwindigkeit. Das technische Problem auf der Basis der betreffenden Erfindung ist das Anwenden von zwei bewegbaren Seiten-Spoilern, einer auf der rechten und einer auf der linken Seite, positioniert auf der Karosserie oberhalb des Heckrades des Automobils. Diese zwei Spoiler ermöglichen eine Reduktion des Seitendrucks in den Kurven. Somit kann in den Kurven eine höhere Geschwindigkeit erreicht werden. Die Lösungsidee auf der Basis dieser Erfindung ist die Anbringung zweier Seiten- Spoiler für Rennautomobile bzw. gewöhnliche Autos, das heisst zwei bewegbare Spoiler, die seitlich abstehen und bei der Reduktion des Seitendrucks helfen, dem das Auto ausgeliefert ist beim Fahren einer Kurve. Im Zusammenhang mit der Erfindungsidee ist das technische Problem gelöst durch zwei bewegbare Seiten-Spoiler für Automobile aller Art, charakterisiert aus dem Anspruch 1. Das technische Problem ist auch gelöst für ein Rennautomobil bzw. gewöhnliches Automobil durch die Charakterisierung aus dem Anspruch 3. Vorteilhafterweise, gemäss dieser Erfindung, verhindern die zwei Seiten-Spoiler das Schleudern des Automobils in einer Kurve, da die Seiten-Spoiler der Aerodynamik in der Kurve helfen. Vorteilhafterweise kann das Automobil in einer Kurve mit erheblich grosserer Geschwindigkeit fahren.The subject invention includes two side spoilers for automobiles of all types. This invention is intended for racing cars as well as for ordinary cars. As is known to one of ordinary skill in the automotive industry, a racing car or ordinary automobile is subjected to great lateral pressure in the turn, and thus the automobile is in danger of spinning. Especially with the rear of the car. This requires a significant reduction in speed. The technical problem on the basis of the subject invention is the use of two movable side spoilers, one on the right and one on the left, positioned on the body above the rear wheel of the automobile. These two spoilers allow a reduction of side pressure in the curves. Thus, a higher speed can be achieved in the curves. The solution based on this invention is the attachment of two side spoilers for racing automobiles, that is, two movable spoilers that protrude sideways and help reduce the side pressure to which the car is subjected while cornering. In connection with the idea of the invention, the technical problem is solved by two movable side spoilers for automobiles of all kinds, characterized by claim 1. The technical problem is also solved for a racing car or ordinary automobile by the characterization of claim 3. Advantageously, According to this invention, the two side spoilers prevent the car from skidding in a turn as the side spoilers help the aerodynamics in the turn. Advantageously, the automobile can drive in a curve at a considerably greater speed.
Die Charakteristiken und Vorteile der zwei Seiten-Spoiler, gemäss dieser Erfindung, werden aus den beigelegten Zeichnungen gut ersichtlich. Kurze Beschreibung der ZeichnungenThe characteristics and advantages of the two side spoilers according to this invention will become apparent from the attached drawings. Brief description of the drawings
Die Figur 1 zeigt einen Seiten-Spoiler (A) eines Rennautomobils bzw. eines gewöhnlichen Automobils, in einer aktiven Phase beim Fahren einer Linkskurve. Die Figur 2 zeigt einen Seiten-Spoiler (B) eines Rennautomobils bzw. eines gewöhnlichen Automobils in einer aktiven Phase beim Fahren einer Rechtskurve.FIG. 1 shows a side spoiler (A) of a racing automobile or an ordinary automobile, in an active phase when driving a left turn. FIG. 2 shows a side spoiler (B) of a racing automobile or an ordinary automobile in an active phase when driving a right turn.
Detaillierte BeschreibungDetailed description
Die Figuren in der Beilage sind schematisch dargestellt und zeigen mit (A,B) das Paar Seiten-Spoiler des Rennautos bzw. gewöhnlicher Autos.The figures in the supplement are shown schematically and show (A, B) the pair of side spoilers of the racing car or ordinary cars.
Die Seiten-Spoiler gemäss dieser Erfindung sind zwei Spoiler (A,B), bewegbar und aus der Karosserie seitlich abstehend beim Fahren einer Kurve, wie es die Figuren 1 und 2 zeigen. Im Besonderen sind die Seiten-Spoiler (A,B) bewegbar zwischen 1° und 70°. Die bewegbaren Seiten-Spoiler (A,B) sind mit dem Steuerrad des Automobils verbunden durch einen technischen Mechanismus, der zur Zeit nicht dargestellt ist.The side spoilers according to this invention are two spoilers (A, B), movable and laterally projecting from the body when driving a curve, as shown in Figures 1 and 2. In particular, the side spoilers (A, B) are movable between 1 ° and 70 °. The movable side spoilers (A, B) are connected to the steering wheel of the automobile by a technical mechanism, which is currently not shown.
Die Spoiler (A,B) sind bewegbar auf die entgegengesetzte Richtung des Steuerrads des Rennautomobils bzw. gewöhnlichen Automobils. Im Besonderen dreht das Steuerrad nach links und somit kommt der Seiten- Spoiler (A) von 1° bis 70° rechts abstehend von der Karosserie raus, wenn das Steuerrad nach rechts steuert, kommt der Seiten-Spoiler (B) von 1° bis 70° links aus der Karosserie.The spoilers (A, B) are movable in the opposite direction of the steering wheel of the racing car or ordinary automobile. In particular, the steering wheel turns to the left and thus the side spoiler (A) comes out from the body at a right angle from 1 ° to 70 °. When the steering wheel is steered to the right, the side spoiler (B) comes from 1 ° to 70 ° ° left from the body.
Die Figur 1 zeigt schematisch den Seiten-Spoiler (A) des Automobils in einer Aktivphase beim Fahren einer Linkskurve, bei welchem das Automobil grossem Seitendruck unterworfen ist. In einer solchen Linkskurve dreht das Steuerrad den Seiten-Spoiler (A) nach rechts.Figure 1 shows schematically the side spoiler (A) of the automobile in an active phase when driving a left turn, in which the automobile is subjected to large lateral pressure. In such a left turn, the steering wheel turns the side spoiler (A) to the right.
Die Figur 2 zeigt schematisch den Seiten-Spoiler (B) gemäss dieser Erfindung beim Fahren einer Rechtkurve. In einer Rechtskurve dreht das Steuerrad den Seiten-Spoiler (B) nach links.Figure 2 shows schematically the side spoiler (B) according to this invention when driving a right turn. In a right turn, the steering wheel turns the side spoiler (B) to the left.
Vorteilhafterweise verhindern die Seiten-Spoiler das Schleudern des Automobils in der Kurve und tragen somit zu einer optimalen Stabilität bei. Vorteilhafterweise, gemäss dieser Erfindung, ermöglichen die Seiten-Spoiler des Rennautomobils bzw. gewöhnliches Automobils, eine hohe Geschwindig- keit auch in den Kurven zu erreichen. Advantageously, the side spoilers prevent the car from skidding in the turn and thus contribute to optimum stability. Advantageously, according to this invention, the side spoilers of the racing automobile or ordinary automobile make it possible to achieve a high speed even in the bends.
