Abstract

The warning light is intended as an additional signalling light for brake lights on a motor vehicle and for this purpose it is mounted higher up on the vehicle to bring it into the line of vision of the following vehicle driver. The light is mounted inside the motor vehicle behind the rear window. It consists of an opaque housing and a transparent light disc. On the light fitting housing (2) side, visible by the driver in his rear view mirror, is an aperture (4) which can be illuminated in the incandescent lamp of the light fitting. Pref. the aperture is located in the upper section of the housing. It may contain a transparent or coloured disc. Additionally, the aperture may be fitted with a collector lens (5). The light fitting has a carrier arm forming a ball joint (3) with the housing.

Description

Fahrzeugsignalleuchte.Vehicle signal light.

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Fahrzeugsignalleuchte zur Warnung der nachfolgenden Verkehrsteilnehmer, insbesondere Bremsleuchte, die im Fahrzeuginneren hinter der Heckscheibe angeordnet ist und im wesentlichen aus einem lichtundurchlässigen Gehäuse und einer transparenten Lichtscheibe besteht.The invention relates to a vehicle signal lamp for warning purposes of the following road users, in particular the brake light inside the vehicle is arranged behind the rear window and is essentially made of an opaque Housing and a transparent lens.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, für die zusätzlich hochgesetzten Bremsleuchten eine ihre Fuuktionstätigkeit anzeigende Kontrolleinrichtung in der Art zu schaffen, daß für den Fahrer die Funktion seiner zusätzlichen Bremsleuchten leicht und schnell überprüfbar ist und darüber hinaus die Kontrolleinrichtung kostengünstig herstellbar ist. Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß eine von dem Fahrer durch den im Fahrzeuginneren angeordneten Rückspiegel einsehbare Fläche des Leuchtengehäuses eine durch die Glühlampe der Leuchte erhellbare Öffnung aufweist.The object of the invention is for the additional raised brake lights to create a control device that indicates its functional activity, that the function of his additional brake lights easily and quickly for the driver can be checked and, moreover, the control device can be manufactured inexpensively is. This object is achieved according to the invention in that one of the driver The surface of the light housing can be seen through the rear-view mirror located inside the vehicle has an opening that can be illuminated by the light bulb of the lamp.

Weiterhin ist es vorteilhaft, wenn die Öffnung in dem oberen Bereich des Gehäuses der Leuchte eingebracht ist.It is also advantageous if the opening is in the upper area the housing of the lamp is introduced.

Dadurch ist es nicht möglich, daß schräg von oben durch die Lichtscheibe in das Leuchteninnere einfallende Lichtstrahlen der Sonne dem Fahrer eine Funktionstätigkeit seiner zusätzlichen Bremsleuchten vortäuschen.As a result, it is not possible that obliquely from above through the lens Rays of light from the sun falling into the interior of the luminaire perform a functional activity for the driver fake its additional brake lights.

Besonders vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen des Erfindungsgedankens ergeben sich aus den weiteren Unteransprüchen.Particularly advantageous developments of the inventive concept result from the further subclaims.

Die Zeichnung veranschaulicht ein Ausführungsbeispiel des Erfindungsgedankens, und zwar zeigt die Zeichnung eine Ansicht auf die Rückseite einer hinter der Heckscheibe anzuordnenden zusätzlichen Bremsleuchte. In der Zeichnung ist vom Halter der Bremsleuchte nur ihr tragender Arm 1 dargestellt, der an seinem freien Ende mit dem Gehäuse 2 der Bremsleuchte ein die Bremsleuchte in alle Richtungen verschwenkbares Kugelgelenk 3 bildet.The drawing illustrates an embodiment of the inventive concept, namely, the drawing shows a view of the rear of a behind the rear window additional brake light to be arranged. The drawing shows the brake light holder only its supporting arm 1 is shown, which is connected to the housing 2 at its free end the brake light has a ball joint that can be swiveled in all directions 3 forms.

Das Gehäuse 2 der Bremsleuchte ist quaderförmig ausgebildet und weist auf der Rückseite im oberen Bereich eine kreisrunde Öffnung 4 auf. In die Öffnung 4 ist eine die von der Glühlampe der Bremsleuchte ausgehenden Strahlen streuende Sammellinse 5 eingesetzt.The housing 2 of the brake light is cuboid and has a circular opening 4 on the back in the upper area. In the opening 4 is one which diffuses the rays emanating from the stop lamp bulb Converging lens 5 used.

Der Fahrer kann die Funktion seiner zusätzlichen Bremsleuchten durch einen Blick in den Rückspiegel leicht und schnell überprüfen.The driver can activate the function of his additional brake lights quickly and easily check a look in the rearview mirror.
