Abstract

A distance indicating device for vehicle drivers overcomes the difficulty of judging the distances of vehicles approaching from the rear in the overtaking lane. This is achieved by marking the rear view mirror with distance graduations. The mirror markings are pref. horizontal but may also differ in height. The vehicle viewed in the mirror is defined in its horizontal position but the mirror has indications of horizontal and vertical distance coordinates. The further from the viewer's car that the observed is, the farther to the right it appears on the internal mirror of a left hand drive car. As the observed car gets nearer, its image moves to the left. The mirror can be placed at any convenient point in the vehicle.

Description

Entfernungsanzeiger für AutofahrerDistance indicator for motorists

Es ist für Autofahrer 1 schwierig, die Entfernung eines von hinten auf der Uberholbahn ankommenden Fahrzeuges 2 zu schätzen.Das Fahrzeug 2 welches eine grosse Entfernung von dem Autofahrer 1 hat,dessen Bild erscheint im Innenspiegel an der rechten Seite-bei Rechtsverkehr, wie in Deutschland-des Innenspiegels.Je näher das Fahrzeug 2 sich dem Autofahrer 1 nahert,desto mehr rtickt das Bild des fahrzeuges 2 zur linken seite des Innenspiegels.It is difficult for 1 motorist to remove one from behind on the Uberholbahn arriving vehicle 2 to estimate. The vehicle 2 which has a great distance from the motorist 1, whose image appears in the interior mirror on the right-hand side - with right-hand traffic, as in Germany - of the interior mirror the closer the vehicle 2 approaches the driver 1, the more the image of the ticks vehicle 2 to the left side of the interior mirror.

Werden an dem Fahrzeug Entfernungsmarken angebracht, so kann der Autofahrer 1 die Entfernung des von hinten kommenden Fahrzeugs 2 an den Marken des Rückspiegels ablesen und danaoh seinen Uberholyorgang einrichten.If distance marks are attached to the vehicle, the driver can 1 the distance of the vehicle coming from behind 2 at the marks of the rearview mirror read off and then set up his overtaking process.

Patentansprüche 1 Entfernungsanzeiger für autofahrer 1 dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass an dem Rückspiegel des Fahrzeugs 1. Entfernungamarken angebracht werden,die die jeweilige Entfernung eines von hinten kommenden Fahrzeugs 2 gegenüber dem eigenen Fahrzeug 1 angibt,und zwar so,dass der Fahrer 1 der in den Rückspiegel seines Autos sieht an den Entfernungsmarken an Rückspiegel die Entfernung eines von hinten kommenden Fahrzeugs 2 erkennen kann.Die Entfernungsmarken laufen zweckmässigerweise waagrecht,können aber auch in der Höhe differenziert sein. Claims 1 Distance indicator for motorists 1, characterized in that that on the rearview mirror of the vehicle 1. distance marks are attached, the the respective distance of a vehicle 2 coming from behind compared to one's own Vehicle 1 indicates, in such a way that the driver 1 is in the rearview mirror of his car sees the distance of someone coming from behind at the distance marks on the rearview mirror Vehicle 2 can recognize.The distance markers expediently run horizontally, can but also be differentiated in height. Ein Fahrzeug wird im Spiegel definiert in der waagrechten Stellung,aber auch-bei waagrechter Fahrbahn-in der senkrechten Anzeige im Spiegel.Die Entfernungsmarken können so ausgelegt sein, dass in dem spiegel Punkte angegeben rer(len,die in waagrechten und senkrechten Koordinaten die entfernung angeben. A vehicle is defined in the mirror in the horizontal position, but also - with a horizontal road - in the vertical display in the mirror can be designed in such a way that points indicated in the mirror (lines in horizontal and vertical coordinates indicate the distance. In der Praxis wird ein sehr weit entferntes Fahrzeug 2 weit rechts im Innenspiegel zu sehen sein.Je näher sich das Fahrzeug 2 dem Autofahrer 1 nahert,desto mehr wird das Bild nach links rücken. In practice, a very distant vehicle 2 becomes far to the right The closer the vehicle 2 approaches the driver 1, the closer it is more will move the picture to the left. 2 Entfernungsanzeiger für autofahrer dadurch gekennzeichnet,dass der Sitz des Rückspiegels mit den Entfernungsmarken an jeder beliebigen Stelle des Fahrzeugs angebracht sein kann, sofern der Pahrer das von hinten kommende Fahrzeug 2-auf der Überholbahn-im Spiegel sehen kann,zweckmaässig tst die Anbringung an der rechten eite des Innenraums.2 distance indicators for motorists characterized in that the The rear-view mirror with the distance markers can be positioned anywhere on the vehicle can be attached, provided that the pahrer 2-on the vehicle coming from behind Overtaking lane can be seen in the mirror, it is advisable to attach it to the right side of the interior.
