AI Technical Summary
Existing holders for vehicle lights and reflectors do not adequately protect against mechanical damage and weather influences, and are not adaptable to vehicles of varying widths, with insufficient protection against corrosion for exposed electrically conductive parts.
A telescopic holder system with tubular cross supports that allow for adjustable positioning of lights and reflectors, including built-in lighting and sealing covers to protect against mechanical damage and weather, suitable for vehicles of different widths.
Provides effective protection against mechanical damage and weathering, while ensuring adaptable installation across varying vehicle widths, and prevents corrosion of electrically conductive parts.
Abstract
Description
TAJFUN PLANINA machinery production, doo MPK': B 60 Q 01 / 30 Lamp and / or reflector holder on a motor vehicle or motor vehicle trailer The invention generally falls within the field of lighting equipment for vehicles. The purpose of the invention is to design a holder for lights and / or reflectors for a motor vehicle or a motor vehicle trailer, with which the lights and / or reflectors can be protected from mechanical damage in certain cases, e.g. during forestry or construction work, on the one hand, and on the other hand, it should be suitable for installation on vehicles of various widths, and in the event of a vehicle or trailer not being used for a long time, it should also protect the lights from weather influences and thus protect against unwanted corrosion of exposed electrically conductive parts. A lamp holder for a motor vehicle is known from EP 2 589 512 BI. Such a holder can be attached to the frame or chassis of a trailer to a motor vehicle, but it does not provide protection against mechanical and weather influences. The invention relates to a lamp and / or reflector holder for a motor vehicle or a motor vehicle trailer which can be attached to the frame of the motor vehicle or motor vehicle trailer. The carrier according to the invention comprises a tubular cross-member oriented transversely to the longitudinal direction of travel of the vehicle when it is driving straight, in which are telescopically inserted carriers of light bodies and / or reflectors, which are on the one hand movable along said cross-member towards each other or towards each other and which are on the other hand enabled to be fixed in a selected position by means of holding means when necessary. Said cross member is rigidly attached to the frame of the motor vehicle or the trailer of the motor vehicle, either in a detachable or non-detachable manner. It is possible either that at least one of the tubularly designed cross-member telescopically inserted light body and / or reflector carriers comprises at least one light with a built-in light source, which is supplied with electric current and which generates light in a direction that is at least approximately 180° opposite to the direction of travel of the motor vehicle or the motor vehicle trailer, or that at least one of the tubularly designed cross-member telescopically inserted light body and / or reflector carriers comprises at least one light with a built-in light source, which is supplied with electric current and which generates light in the direction of travel of the motor vehicle or the motor vehicle trailer. Furthermore, according to the invention, at least one of the telescopically inserted light body and / or reflector carriers in the tubularly designed cross member comprises either at least one reflector adapted to reflect light in a direction that is at least approximately 180° rotated with respect to the direction of travel of the motor vehicle or the motor vehicle trailer, or at least one reflector adapted to reflect light in the direction of travel of the motor vehicle or the motor vehicle trailer. It is further provided according to the invention that each of the tubularly designed cross-members of the telescopically inserted light body and / or reflector holders is adapted to receive a sealing cover for protecting the light bodies from weather influences in the event of prolonged non-use of the motor vehicle or motor vehicle trailer. The invention will be explained below on the basis of an example embodiment, which is illustrated in the attached drawing, where Fig. 1 shows a lamp and / or reflector holder for a motor vehicle or a motor vehicle trailer in a state where said lamp and / or reflector holders are located inside a transverse tubular support; while Fig. 2 shows a light and / or reflector carrier on a motor vehicle or a motor vehicle trailer in a state where said light and / or reflector carriers are at least partially pulled out of a tubular cross member. Fig. 1 and 2 therefore show a holder 2 for lamps and / or reflectors 7', 7"; 8', 8" for a motor vehicle or a motor vehicle trailer. Such a holder 1 can in principle - as in previously known solutions from the prior art - be attached to the frame 1 of the respective motor vehicle or motor vehicle trailer. According to the invention, it is provided that the said carrier represents a tubular carrier 2 oriented transversely with respect to the longitudinal direction X of travel of the vehicle when it is driving straight, in which further carriers 3, 4 of light bodies 8', 8" and / or reflectors 7', 7", are telescopically inserted, which are on the one hand movable along the said carrier 2 towards each other or towards each other, on the other hand They are enabled to be fixed in a selected position relative to the cross beam 2 by means of holding means 5, 6. In principle, according to the invention, it is envisaged that the said cross member 2 is rigidly attached to the frame 1 of the motor vehicle or the trailer of the motor vehicle, but in principle it can be attached either in a detachable or non-detachable manner. As can be seen from the example in Fig. 1 and 2, at least one of the telescopically inserted supports 5, 6 in the tubular cross member 2 comprises at least one light 8', 8" with an integrated light source, which is powered by electric current and which generates light in a direction that is, with respect to the direction X of travel of the motor vehicle or the trailer of the motor vehicle, either in the direction X of travel or in the reverse direction, i.e. at an angle of at least approximately 180° with respect to the direction of travel during each regular use of the motor vehicle or the trailer of the motor vehicle. As can be seen from the example according to Fig. 1 and 2 and as is further provided by the invention, at least one of the telescopically inserted supports 5, 6 in the tubularly designed support 2 comprises at least one reflector 7', 7", which is adapted to reflect light in a direction facing either in the direction X of travel or in the reverse direction, i.e. at an angle of at least approximately 180° with respect to the direction of travel during each regular use of the motor vehicle or the trailer of the motor vehicle. It is further provided according to the invention that each of the tubularly designed support 2 of the telescopically inserted supports 5, 6 is adapted to receive a sealing cover 9', 9" for protecting the light bodies 8', 8" from weather influences in the event of a prolonged period of non-use of the motor vehicle or the motor vehicle trailer. It will undoubtedly be clear to a person skilled in the art that, thanks to the method of installing the light bodies 8', 8" and possible reflectors 7', 7" according to the invention, the said lights 8', 8" and / or reflectors 7', 7" can be protected from mechanical damage in critical cases, e.g. during forestry operations. Furthermore, it will be clear to a person skilled in the art that such a carrier 2, due to the telescopic installation of the carriers 3, 4 in the cross member 2, is suitable for installation on various types of vehicles or trailers of significantly different widths. Thanks to the possibility of using covers 9', 9" and moving the supports 3, 4 with the lamps 8', 8' into the interior of the tubular cross-member 2, the lamps 8', 8" are also effectively and long-term protected from weather influences and thus from corrosion of the surrounding exposed electrically conductive parts.
