Abstract

The lighting equipment (9) is fitted to a fixed bodywork part in the area of the lateral longitudinal thresholds (7) and takes the form of an elongated light strip. It is controlled from inside the vehicle via the door inner operation and from the outside via a remote control. The light equipment (9) is arranged in a cavity (8) of the longitudinal threshold (7) or in a gap between the lower edge of the door and the longitudinal threshold. It has a body of light-conducting plastics material. USE/ADVANTAGE - Provides constantly illuminated external entry area for motor vehicle, independently of opening position of door.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Kraftwagen mit mindestens einer Seitentür und mit einer Beleuchtungseinrichtung zum Beleuchten des Bodens des externen Einstiegsbereichs.The invention relates to a motor vehicle with at least one Side door and with a lighting device for lighting the floor of the external boarding area.

Ein derartiger Kraftwagen ist bereits der deutschen Gebrauchs­ musterschrift 14 64 291 als bekannt zu entnehmen. Nachteilig dabei ist, daß der beleuchtete Bodenbereich je nach Öffnungs­ stellung der Tür variiert, und daß - um bei geöffneter Tür überhaupt einen Beleuchtungseffekt zu erzielen - nach außen und innen abstrahlende Lichtquellen vorgesehen sein müssen.Such a motor vehicle is already of German use see sample 14 64 291 as known. Disadvantageous is that the illuminated floor area depending on the opening Position of the door varies, and that - around with the door open to achieve a lighting effect at all - to the outside and interior light sources must be provided.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung lag demgegenüber die Aufgabe zu­ grunde, einen gattungsgemäßen Kraftwagen so weiterzubilden, daß mit einfachen Mitteln ein konstanter, beleuchteter externer Einstiegsbereich unabhängig von der Öffnungsstellung der Tür sichergestellt wird.In contrast, the object of the present invention was to achieve reason to develop a generic motor vehicle so that with simple means a constant, illuminated external Entry area regardless of the opening position of the door is ensured.

Diese Aufgabe wird bei einem gattungsgemäßen Kraftwagen erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß die Beleuchtungseinrichtung an einem feststehenden Karosserieteil im Bereich der seitlichen Längsschweller angeordnet ist.This task is carried out in a generic motor vehicle solved according to the invention in that the lighting device on a fixed body part in the area of the side Longitudinal sill is arranged.

Besonders vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind den weiteren Patentansprüchen zu entnehmen. Particularly advantageous embodiments of the invention are see further patent claims.  

Der Gegenstand der Erfindung soll im folgenden anhand von zwei in der Zeichnung dargestellten Ausführungsbeispielen näher er­ läutert werden.The subject matter of the invention is intended to be explained in the following using two in the drawing embodiments shown he closer to be refined.

In der Zeichnung zeigen:The drawing shows:

Fig. 1 eine Seitenansicht eines erfindungsgemäß ausge­ bildeten Personenkraftwagens, Fig. 1 is a side view of an inventively formed passenger car,

Fig. 2 in größerem Maßstab einen Schnitt nach der Linie II-II in Fig. 1, und Fig. 2 on a larger scale a section along the line II-II in Fig. 1, and

Fig. 3 einen entsprechenden Schnitt durch eine andere Ausführungsform der Erfindung. Fig. 3 shows a corresponding section through another embodiment of the invention.

Der in der Zeichnung dargestellte Personenkraftwagen weist seitliche Türen 1 und einen darunterliegenden Längsschweller 2 auf. Die in Fig. 2 dargestellte Beleuchtungseinrichtung 3 wird von einem Trittschutz 4 gebildet, in dem mindestens eine Glüh­ lampe 5 angeordnet ist, und der im Bereich der Fahrzeugaußen­ kontur mit einer lichtdurchlässigen Abdeckung 6 versehen ist. Es könnten anstelle einer Glühlampe selbstverständlich auch beliebige andere Lichtquellen eingesetzt werden.The passenger car shown in the drawing has side doors 1 and an underlying longitudinal sill 2 . The lighting device 3 shown in FIG. 2 is formed by a kick guard 4 , in which at least one incandescent lamp 5 is arranged, and which is provided with a translucent cover 6 in the region of the vehicle exterior. Any other light sources could of course also be used instead of an incandescent lamp.

Bei dem in Fig. 3 dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfin­ dung ist der Längsschweller 7 mit einer Vertiefung 8 versehen, in die eine Beleuchtungseinrichtung 9 eingesetzt ist, die - analog zu dem in Fig. 2 dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel - gleichfalls eine Lichtquelle 10 und eine lichtdurchlässige Ab­ deckung 11 aufweist. In the embodiment of the inven tion shown in Fig. 3, the longitudinal sill 7 is provided with a recess 8 into which a lighting device 9 is inserted, which - analogous to the embodiment shown in Fig. 2 - also a light source 10 and a translucent cover 11 has.

Durch die tiefliegende Anordnung der Beleuchtungseinrichtungen wird noch der wesentliche Vorteil erreicht, daß wegen der Bo­ dennähe nur eine relativ geringe Lichtstärke erforderlich ist.Due to the low-lying arrangement of the lighting devices the main advantage is achieved that because of the Bo because only a relatively low light intensity is required is.
