Description
- 1 -BESCHREIBUNG- 1 -DESCRIPTION
Bremslichter üblicher Art bestehen aus einer Glühbirne, die hinter einer gelben oder durchsichtigen Abdeckscheibe angebracht ist.Common brake lights consist of a light bulb mounted behind a yellow or transparent cover.
Je höher die Bremslichter am Fahrzeug angebracht sind, desto sicherer ist es, dass sie von anderen Verkehrsteilnehmern rechtzeitig gesehen werden.The higher the brake lights are mounted on the vehicle, the more likely it is that other road users will see them in time.
Das Problem ist schon lange bekannt. Viele Fahrzeughersteller setzten die Bremslichter höher als bisher.The problem has been known for a long time. Many vehicle manufacturers have placed the brake lights higher than before.
Der in den Schutzansprüchen 1 bis 20 angegebenen Erfindung liegt das Problem zugrunde ein Bremslicht-System zu schaffen dessen Licht aus der Heckscheibe des Fahrzeugs kommt und dass sehr gut sichtbar ist.The invention specified in claims 1 to 20 is based on the problem of creating a brake light system whose light comes from the rear window of the vehicle and which is very clearly visible.
Dieses Problem wird mit den in den Schutzansprüchen 1 bis 20 aufgeführten Merkmalen gelöst.This problem is solved by the features listed in claims 1 to 20.
Mit der Erfindung wird ein Bremslicht-System für Fahrzeuge geschaffen, dass die Sicherheit deutlich erhöhen kann. Die unsichtbaren Bremslichter sind am Rand der Heckscheibe angebracht. Sie versperren die Sicht des Fahrers nicht, da sie durchsichtig sind. Im ausgeschalteten Zustand sind diese Bremslichter gar nicht wahrzunehmen. Die Heckscheibe weist nur mehrere kurze parallele und dünne Linien oder Mikrokratzer auf, die fast kaum zu sehen sind. Erst wenn die Bremslichter eingeschaltet wird, leuchten diese Linien sehr intensiv auf.The invention creates a brake light system for vehicles that can significantly increase safety. The invisible brake lights are attached to the edge of the rear window. They do not block the driver's view because they are transparent. When switched off, these brake lights are not noticeable at all. The rear window only has several short, parallel and thin lines or micro-scratches that are almost invisible. Only when the brake lights are switched on do these lines light up very intensely.
Ausführungsbeispiele der Erfindung werden anhand der Fig. 1 bis 4 erläutert. Es zeigen:Embodiments of the invention are explained with reference to Figs. 1 to 4. They show:
Fig. 1 ein Bremslichter-System mit Laser-Dioden, Fig. 2 ein Bremslichter-System mit LED-s,Fig. 1 a brake light system with laser diodes, Fig. 2 a brake light system with LEDs,
Fig. 3 eine Heckscheibe mit Lichtbrecher aus Luftblasen, Fig. 4 eine Heckscheibe mit Reflektor-Streifen oder Linien.Fig. 3 a rear window with light breaker made of air bubbles, Fig. 4 a rear window with reflector stripes or lines.
Das System besteht aus einem Lichtstrahler, der eine Laser-Diode oder eine herkömmliche intensiv leuchtende Leuchtdiode sein kann. Eine Leuchtdiode ist in der Regel nicht ausreichend. Es sind mehrere davon notwendig, z.B. 30 - 200 stück.The system consists of a light emitter, which can be a laser diode or a conventional, intensely luminous light-emitting diode. One light-emitting diode is usually not sufficient. Several of them are necessary, e.g. 30 - 200 pieces.
Der Arbeitsprinzip dieses Bremslichter ist sehr einfach: Ein Lichtstrahler bzw. eine rote Laser-Diode 1 strahlt ein gebündeltes Lichtstrahl direkt in die Heckscheibe 2 auf einer bestimmten Stelle. Diese Stelle ist mit lichtbrechenden Punkten oder Linien 3 versehen. Die Lichtstrahlen werden wie in einem Leinwand auf die Scheibe aufprallen. Wenn der Lichtstrahl den Bereich in der Scheibe trifft, die eine Lichtbrechung oder eine Lichtverstreuung unter einem bestimmten Winkel-Bereich verursacht, dann verlassen die Lichtstrahlen die Glasscheibe so als die Glasscheibe die Lichtquelle wäre. Der Lichtbrecher kann aus mehrere parallel angeordneten einfachen „Schnittlinien" 4 oder dicht angeordneten Kratzer oder Luftblasen 5 im Glasscheibe bestehen und wird an die Stelle platziert, die für Bremslichter vorgesehen ist. Sie sind im Inneren der Scheibe integriert. Der einfallende Lichtstrahl auf diese Linien soll unter einem angenähert rechten Winkel erfolgen. Die Linien oder Kratzer versperren die Sicht des Fahrers nicht. Sie sind in der Regel kaum sichtbar. Erst wenn das Licht aus dem Laserstrahler oder den Leuchtdioden auf die Linien (Streifen) einfällt leuchten sie sehr intensiv.The working principle of this brake light is very simple: A light emitter or a red laser diode 1 emits a bundled beam of light directly into the rear window 2 at a specific point. This point is provided with light-refracting points or lines 3. The light rays will hit the window like a screen. When the light beam hits the area in the window that causes light refraction or light scattering at a specific angle, the light rays leave the glass pane as if the glass pane were the light source. The light breaker can consist of several simple "cut lines" 4 arranged in parallel or closely spaced scratches or air bubbles 5 in the glass pane and is placed in the place intended for brake lights. They are integrated inside the pane. The light beam falling on these lines should be at an approximately right angle. The lines or scratches do not block the driver's view. They are usually barely visible. Only when the light from the laser beam or the LEDs falls on the lines (stripes) do they shine very intensely.
Eine Variante weist mehrere dünne Silberstreifen 6 oder Linien an bestimmten Stellen, die in die Scheibe in die Stellen integriert sind, die Bremslichter darstellen sollen. Sie reflektieren das Licht aus dem Lichtstrahler auf die Fahrbahn. Auch diese Scheibe ist klar und versperrt dem Fahrer-Blick nicht die Sicht. Auch während die Bremslichter aktiviert werden, sieht der Fahrer kaum das Licht obwohl sie vor seinen Augen „erzeugt" wird (z.B. während des Blickens an dem Innenspiegel auf die Heckscheibe).One variant has several thin silver stripes 6 or lines in certain places that are integrated into the window in the places that are supposed to represent brake lights. They reflect the light from the headlights onto the road. This window is also clear and does not block the driver's view. Even when the brake lights are activated, the driver hardly sees the light even though it is "generated" in front of his eyes (e.g. when looking at the rear window through the interior mirror).
Der Lichtstrahler kann an die Decke 7 des Fahrzeugs angebracht werden. Der verhält sich wie ein Rückprojektor. Die Platzierung des Lichtstrahlers kann sehr unterschiedlich realisiert werden und wird dem Hersteller überlassen.The spotlight can be attached to the ceiling 7 of the vehicle. It behaves like a rear projector. The placement of the spotlight can be very different and is left to the manufacturer.
