Abstract

Lichtsignale (20), insbesondere Seenot-Lichtsignale oder Seenot-Nachtlichter dienen als schwimmende Signalmittel, die das Auffinden Schiffsbrüchiger erleichtern sollen. Die Lichtsignale (20) müssen wasserdicht sein. Insbesondere Batteriewechsel und Leuchtmittelwechsel können zu Undichtigkeiten führen und dadurch die Zuverlässigkeit des Lichtsignals (20) beeinträchtigen.Light signals (20), especially distress light signals or distress night lights serve as floating signaling means to facilitate the finding of shipwrecked. The light signals (20) must be waterproof. In particular, battery replacement and lamp replacement can lead to leaks and thereby affect the reliability of the light signal (20).

Die Erfindung sieht vor, dass statt eines Austausches der Einzelkomponenten, wie einer Batterie (64) eine komplette Leuchteinheit (24) ausgetauscht wird. Als Leuchteinheit (24) sind dazu zumindest eine energiesparende Leuchtdiode (56) als Leuchtmittel, eine Batterie (64) und ein als Schaltelement dienender, magnetisch betätigbarer Reedkontakt (66) zusammengefasst. Die Verwendung einer kostengünstigen Leuchtdiode (56) und einer entsprechend dem geringen Strombedarf der Leuchtdiode (56) platzsparend ausgebildeten Batterie (64) lassen eine kompakte Ausgestaltung der Leuchteinheit (24) zu. Dadurch, dass die Leuchteinheit (24) als Einheit in den Schwimmkörper (22) einsetzbar und als Einheit austauschbar ist, erübrigt sich ein aufwendiger und die Gefahr von Undichtigkeiten mit sich bringender Batterie- oder Leuchtmittelwechsel.

Figure imgaf001
The invention provides that instead of exchanging the individual components, such as a battery (64), a complete lighting unit (24) is exchanged. For this purpose, at least one energy-saving light-emitting diode (56) as light source, a battery (64) and a magnetically actuated reed contact (66) serving as a switching element are combined as light unit (24). The use of a low-cost LED (56) and a correspondingly low power consumption of the light-emitting diode (56) space-saving battery (64) allow a compact design of the light unit (24). The fact that the lighting unit (24) can be used as a unit in the floating body (22) and interchangeable as a unit, eliminates the need for a complex and the risk of leaks with changing battery or bulb replacement.
