Die Neuerung bezieht sich auf ein Kraftfahrzeug gemäss Oberbegriff von Anspruch 1.The innovation relates to a motor vehicle according to the preamble of claim 1.
Um die Gefahr von Unfällen zu reduzieren, ist eine gute Kommunikation zwischen den einzelnen Verkehrsteilnehmern wichtig. Dies gilt besonders auch für das Zusammenspiel von Fussgängern und Kraftfahrzeugen. Zu diesem Zweck ist vorgeschlagen worden, Kraftfahrzeuge mit Bremslichtern auszurüsten, die von vorne sichtbar sind. Solche Bremslichter erlauben es dem Fussgänger zu erkennen, ob ein Fahrzeuglenker z.B. vor einem Fussgängerstreifen den Bremsvorgang eingeleitet hat.In order to reduce the risk of accidents, good communication between individual road users is important. This is especially true for the interaction between pedestrians and motor vehicles. For this purpose, it has been proposed that motor vehicles be equipped with brake lights that are visible from the front. Such brake lights allow pedestrians to see whether a driver has initiated the braking process, for example in front of a pedestrian crossing.
Aufgabe der vorliegenden Neuerung ist die Bereitstellung eines derartigen Kraftfahrzeugs, bei welchem die Bremslichter möglichst gut sichtbar sind, ohne dass jedoch ihre Montage kompliziert wird.The aim of this innovation is to provide a motor vehicle in which the brake lights are as clearly visible as possible without, however, making their installation complicated.
Diese Aufgabe wird vom Fahrzeug nach Anspruch 1 gelöst. Indem die Signallampen bzw. Bremslichter an mindestens einem der Rückspiegel angeordnet sind, befinden sie sich auf einer Höhe, die vom Fussgänger gut einsehbar ist. Gleichzeitig dient der Rückspiegel als Halter für die Signallampen, so dass ein separater Halter entfallen kann.This object is achieved by the vehicle according to claim 1. By arranging the signal lamps or brake lights on at least one of the rear-view mirrors, they are at a height that is easily visible to pedestrians. At the same time, the rear-view mirror serves as a holder for the signal lamps, so that a separate holder can be omitted.
Besonders vorteilhaft ist eine Anordnung der Signallampen an den seitlichen Rückspiegeln, da sie dort auch für einen seitlich vor dem Fahrzeug stehenden Fussgänger gut sichtbar sind.It is particularly advantageous to arrange the signal lamps on the side rear-view mirrors, as they are clearly visible there even for a pedestrian standing to the side of the vehicle.
In einer bevorzugten Ausführung werden die Signallampen im Gehäuse des Rückspiegels integriert. Dadurch entfällt die Notwendigkeit, ein eigenes Gehäuse für die Signallampen vorzusehen, was sicherheits- und herstellungstechnisch von Vorteil ist.In a preferred embodiment, the signal lamps are integrated into the housing of the rear-view mirror. This eliminates the need to provide a separate housing for the signal lamps, which is advantageous in terms of safety and manufacturing.
Um die Wirkung der Signallampen zu erhöhen, können sie über eine Blinkschaltung angesteuert werden.To increase the effect of the signal lamps, they can be controlled via a flashing circuit.
Weitere bevorzugte Ausführungen, sowie Vorteile und Anwendungen ergeben sich aus der nun folgenden Beschreibung anhand der Figuren. Dabei zeigen:Further preferred designs, as well as advantages and applications, are shown in the following description based on the figures. They show:

Fig. 2 das SchaItdiagramm einer Ansteuerung für die Signallampen.Fig. 2 the circuit diagram of a control system for the signal lamps.
Der Grundaufbau einer Ausführung der Neuerung an einem Kraftfahrzeug 1 ist in Figur 1 dargestellt. Das Kraftfahrzeug 1 weist zwei seitliche Aussenrückspiegel 2 auf. Im Gehäuse der Aussenrückspiegel 2 sind je drei Signallampen 3 integriert, deren Licht nach vorne abstrahlt. Im vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel sind die Signallampen dreieckförmig, wobei eine Spitze des Dreiecks gegen das Zentrum des Fahrzeugs weist. Sie sind so angeordnet, dass sie von einem Fussgänger, der zentral oder seitlich vor dem Fahrzeug 1 steht, gut sichtbar sind. Ihre Farbe ist vorzugsweise Gelb oder Grün.The basic structure of an embodiment of the innovation on a motor vehicle 1 is shown in Figure 1. The motor vehicle 1 has two side exterior rear-view mirrors 2. Three signal lamps 3 are integrated in the housing of the exterior rear-view mirrors 2, the light of which radiates forwards. In the present embodiment, the signal lamps are triangular in shape, with one tip of the triangle pointing towards the center of the vehicle. They are arranged in such a way that they are clearly visible to a pedestrian standing centrally or to the side of the vehicle 1. Their color is preferably yellow or green.
Die Ansteuerung der Signallampen 3 ergibt sich aus Figur 2. Die Lampen werden von einem Schalter 4 kontrolliert, der mit dem Bremspedal des Kraftfahrzeugs 1 verbunden ist. Bei nicht betätigtem Bremspedal steht der Schalter auf Stellung A und unterbricht die Leitung 5 zur Batterie. Wird die Bremse betätigt, so geht der Schalter auf Stellung B und stellt die Stromzufuhr zu den konventionellen Bremslichtern 6 an der Rückseite des Fahrzeugs 1 her. Gleichzeitig wird aber auch ein Blinkrelais 7 mit Strom versorgt, welches die Signallampen 3 blinkend ansteuert .The control of the signal lamps 3 is shown in Figure 2. The lamps are controlled by a switch 4 that is connected to the brake pedal of the motor vehicle 1. When the brake pedal is not actuated, the switch is in position A and interrupts the line 5 to the battery. If the brake is actuated, the switch goes to position B and establishes the power supply to the conventional brake lights 6 on the rear of the vehicle 1. At the same time, a flashing relay 7 is also supplied with power, which causes the signal lamps 3 to flash.
Im Betrieb funktioniert die Anlage also so, dass die Signallampen 3 ausgeschaltet sind, solange der Fahrzeuglenker die Bremse nicht betätigt. Während er bremst, blinken die Signallampen 3. Somit ist es einem Fussgänger oder einem anderen Verkehrsteilnehmer möglich zu erkennen, ob das herannahende Fahrzeug 1 am Abbremsen ist.In operation, the system works in such a way that the signal lamps 3 are switched off as long as the driver does not apply the brake. While the driver is braking, the signal lamps 3 flash. This makes it possible for a pedestrian or other road user to see whether the approaching vehicle 1 is braking.

In der vorliegenden Ausführung sind die Signallampen in den Seitenrückspiegeln 2 integriert. Sie stehen also nicht über die übliche Fahrzeugkontur hervor, wodurch ein zusätzlicher Luftwiderstand vermieden und keine zusätzliche Verletzungsquelle bei Zusammenstössen geschaffen wird.In the present embodiment, the signal lamps are integrated in the side rear-view mirrors 2. They therefore do not protrude beyond the usual vehicle contour, thereby avoiding additional air resistance and not creating an additional source of injury in the event of a collision.
Das neuerungsgemässe System kann auch bei konventionellen Fahrzeugen nachträglich eingebaut werden, indem die Rückspiegel 2 ersetzt und die Signallampen 3 mit dem bestehenden Bremslichtkreis verbunden werden.The new system can also be retrofitted to conventional vehicles by replacing the rear-view mirrors 2 and connecting the signal lamps 3 to the existing brake light circuit.
Alternativ und/oder zusätzlich zur Anordnung der Signallampen 3 an den Aussenrückspiegeln 2 des Kraftfahrzeugs können diese auch am Innenrückspiegel 9 angeordnet werden, der dank seiner hohen Lage im Fahrzeug gut sichtbar ist. In diesem Fall kann ein Blendschutz vorgesehen sein, so dass das abgestrahlte Licht nicht gegen den Fahrer reflektiert wird.Alternatively and/or in addition to arranging the signal lamps 3 on the outside rear-view mirrors 2 of the motor vehicle, they can also be arranged on the inside rear-view mirror 9, which is clearly visible thanks to its high position in the vehicle. In this case, an anti-glare device can be provided so that the emitted light is not reflected back at the driver.
Im vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel werden die Signallampen wie normale Bremslichter durch die Betätigung der Bremse angesteuert. Es ist jedoch auch denkbar, dass ihr Zustand in anderer Weise kontrolliert wird. So könnte ein Boardcomputer die momentane Geschwindigkeit und Beschleunigung bzw. Abbremsung des Fahrzeugs analysieren und die Signallampen nur dann betreiben, wenn eine Abbremsung des Fahrzeugs zum Stillstand innerhalb einer gewissen Strecke von z.B. 30 Metern zu erwarten ist.In the present embodiment, the signal lamps are controlled like normal brake lights by applying the brake. However, it is also conceivable that their status is controlled in another way. For example, an on-board computer could analyze the current speed and acceleration or deceleration of the vehicle and only operate the signal lamps if the vehicle is expected to brake to a standstill within a certain distance of e.g. 30 meters.
