Abstract

A vehicle is described having a window parapet (2) on the inside of the vehicle and a profiled strip (3) which is fixed on said parapet, having the unusual feature of an electric heating device being arranged in the window parapet region.

Description

. .",a.

An Electric Heating Device for a Vehicle Window Parapet The invention relates to a vehicle having a window parapet an the inside of the vehicle and a profiled strip which is fixed on said parapet.
In the interior of vehicles, a window parapet which is on the side of the vehicle body generally forms the lower end of vehicle side windows. The window parapet is generally flitted with a profiled strip which is provided for aesthetic reasons but also, with a perpendicularly downwardly pointing leg, serves to hold vehicle interior panelling elements. Window parapets of this type are provided in many vehicles (land craft, aircraft and watercraft), so that the term ~~vehicle~~ should be understood in the widest possible sense.
As has been shown in practice, vehicle occupants like to lean against the profiled strip (parapet strip) or also use the latter as an armrest. However, this type of use decreases rapidly during the cold season, because the temperatures transmitted to the profiled strip by the respective window pane and vehicle shell are then found to be extremely unpleasant. On the other hand, manufacturers of vehicles are very interested in providing their customers with the greatest possible comfort, which also includes suppressing or covering cold bridges.
The present invention, in the case of a vehicle having a window parapet and a facing, profiled strip or the like fixed on it, seeks to provide a facing or profiled strip that may also be used during the cold season as an armrest, for example, without accompanying unpleasantness.
According to the invention, this aspect is achieved by an electric heating device arranged in the window parapet region.
An electric heating device of this type, which can be .. .""i. , , a i,w, " , operated by the general vehicle electrics, makes it possible to bring the garapet strip rapidly to a pleasant temperature and to maintain this temperature. The fact that electrical heating devices are customary in the vehicle sphere, specifically in the form of heatable rear windows, exterior mirrors or else seats, could not readily lead to the invention because for this to happen for one thing the problem described would have had to have been recognized and also, for another thing, the statement would have had to have been made to the effect that the vehicle electricity supply system can be used to solve the problem and also is sufficient for the power consumption. Credit is also due to the inventor that after he recognized the problem he provided an electric heating device and did not, for example, fall back on a relatively complicated hot water circuit, as may have possibly have been more obvious.
The electric heating device can be arranged in a simple manner between the window parapet and the profiled strip. The arrangement may also take place on the window parapet and/or on the profiled strip.
If the arrangement of the electric heating device on the profiled strip is preferred, it is recommended to construct the profiled strip with channels which run longitudinally through it and may be open or else closed towards the window parapet as well as extruded in.
The heating device comprises at least one electric resistance wire which is optionally laid in a zigzag or wave shape. The resistance wire is expediently embedded in a support consisting of electrically insulated material. In the simplest case, the support consists of covering foils which cover the heat conductor on both sides.
In accordance with a refinement of the invention, the heat conductor can be formed from a metallized surface-area construction, such as band material, textile material, mesh material, nonwoven material, metallized staple fibres or from a wire winding.
In order to keep the power consumption as low as possible, in a development of the invention means are provided which essentially deflect the heat output of the heat conductor towards the profiled strip and largely suppress the dissipation of heat towards the window parapet on the side of the vehicle body. For this purpose, the heat conductor can be embedded in a support which, on the side of the heat conductor, consists of a heat-insulating material and, on the other side of the heat conductor, consists of a material which does not hinder the area-specific heat output of the heat conductor. It may additionally be advisable to fit the profiled strip with heat-conductible means, such as aluminium foils or the like.
An exemplary embodiment of the invention is explained in more detail below with reference to the drawing, the drawing merely comprising Fig. 1. /
Fig. 1, which is the sole figure, shows a vehicle side wall 1, which may be the side wall of a bus. A profiled strip 3, which consists, for example, of plastic, is supported on a window parapet 2 in the interior of the vehicle, the horizontally aligned profiled limb of which profiled strip bears against a vehicle side window pane 4 and the vertically aligned limb of which fits over a vehicle panelling element 5.
An exterior profiled strip 6 bears against the outside of the vehicle side window pane 4.
Vehicle occupants like to lean against the profiled strip 3 or else use it as an armrest. In order to make this use possible even in the cold season without the vehicle occupants experiencing an unpleasant cold effect, an electric heating device I ....nil ~ . In lily ~i ~ - n having at least one heat conductor 7 is now provided in the window parapet region. The heating device is situated between the window parapet 2 and the profiled strip 3 and expediently, at the same time, in a longitudinal channel 8 running through the profiled strip 3. The arrangement of the heating device in a longitudinal channel 8, which may also - other than shown - be designed as a hollow channel, makes it possible for the heating device to be preassembled on the profiled strip 3.
An aluminium foil 9 is incorporated in the prof fled strip 3. A film of the type of foil 9 may also be stuck on at the back.
A heat-insulation layer (not shown may advantageously also be provided.
A cable lug 11, which is connected to an electric conductor 12 belonging to the vehicle electric supply system, may in each case be attached to the ends of the heat conductor 7. It goes without saying that the cable lug 11 and conductor 12 are to be arranged such that they are covered.
The design of the electric heating device will not be explained in more detail because an expert can to this extent go back to conventional systems which are then to be appropriately adapted to the new intended purpose. It should also be left open as to whether the electric heating device is to be fitted with an electric control device to avoid overheating, or as to whether it is advisable to set the resistance of the heat conductor 7 in such a manner that at the maximum operating voltage, in particular at the customary voltage of 12 or 24 V in motor vehicles, a certain, specified temperature is not exceeded. The expert should have all options within the context of the invention left open. To this extent, an expert should also not be prevented from providing a heat conductor 7 which extends over the entire length of a vehicle, for example a bus, or is divided into heat conductor elements arranged in series.
