Abstract
To obtain an enlargement of the field of vision for the driver (8) of a motor vehicle (1) having two A-columns (5, 6) limiting the field of vision at the front, in which the driver (8) does not have to always reorientate himself again and again, the invention proposes to allocate a separate camera/monitor system (9, 10) to each of the two A-columns (5, 6), whereby the respective camera (11, 12) is fastened on the outside to the corresponding A-column (5, 6) of the motor vehicle (1) and the monitor (13, 14) allocated to this camera (11, 12) is fastened on the inside to this A-column (5, 6), such that the outer visual field areas (15, 16) without the camera/monitor systems (9, 10) and obstructed by the A-columns (5, 6) of the motor vehicle (1) can be shown on the monitors (13, 14) to the driver (8) of the motor vehicle (1).
Description
D E S C R I P T I O N
Device For Enlarging The Field Of Vision The invention relates to a device for enlarging the field of vision of a driver situated in a motor vehicle, the motor vehicle having A columns which limit the field of vision at the front.
To be able to drive safely, in particular in armoured vehicles in use, it is desirable to enable the driver to have a good panoramic view and also the possibility of close-range field observation.
However, this is made impossible as the high demands for protection for vehicles of this type require the windshields to be as small as possible; moreover, said windshields have reduced transparency due to the material thickness, so that the driver's field of vision is greatly restricted, in particular, due to the relatively wide A-columns of the vehicle arranged at the front.
To monitor the area behind a motor vehicle, it is already known to use camera/monitor systems in which the respective camera is located at the rear on the vehicle and the monitor on the driver's side. It was shown to be disadvantageous in the arrangement of these type of systems that the driver must first spatially orientate himself, e.g. when parking in reverse, since the monitor is now arranged in the vicinity and not in direction of the camera.
The object of the invention is to provide a device for enlarging the field of vision for the driver of a motor vehicle when driving forward, whereby the driver does not always have to spatially orientate himself again and again.
According to the invention, this object is solved by the features of claim 1. The subclaims disclose further, especially advantageous embodiments of the invention.
The invention is essentially based on the idea to allocate an individual camera/monitor system to each A-columm, wherein the camera of the respective system is fastened on the outside to the A-column allocated to this system and the monitor allocated to said camera is fastened on the inside to the A-column of the corresponding motor vehicle, such that the visual regions without the camera/monitor systems obstructed by the A-columns of the vehicle can be shown on the monitors.
In view of the fact that, in the arrangement of the camera/monitor systems according to the invention, both the monitor and the camera are attached in the region of the A-columns, the driver of the respective vehicle does not have to again orientate himself spatially when using these systems.
The device according to the invention not only has the advantage that it enlarges the field of vision of the respective driver and thus also offers greater security for the driver in traffic, but, in armoured vehicles, the ballistic protection can also be substantially increased in comparison to comparable known motor vehicles, since the A-columns consisting of steel can be selected wider and offer a better protection than windows made of glass or a composite material.
Further details and advantages of the invention can be found in the following example of an embodiment described with reference to a f igure .
A merely schematic top view on the front region of an amoured motor vehicle 1 is shown in the Fig., which has both a front window 2 and two side windows 3 and 4. An A-column 5, 6 each is located between the front window 2 and the two side windows 3, 4, said A-column restricting the field of vision of a driver 8 inside 7 the motor vehicle 1.
Therefore, according to the invention, two camera/monitor systems 9, 10 are provided. The cameras 11, 12 of the two systems are thereby fastened on the outside, each to an A-column 5, 6 of the motor vehicle 1. The monitors 13, 14 allocated to each of these cameras 11, 12 are located inside 7 the motor vehicle 1 in the area of the corresponding A-columns 5, 6, so that the visual field areas 15, 16 on the outside obstructed by the A-columns 5, 6 of the motor vehicle 1 can be shown to the driver 8 of the vehicle 1 on the monitors 13, 14.

Therefore, according to the invention, two camera/monitor systems 9, 10 are provided. The cameras 11, 12 of the two systems are thereby fastened on the outside, each to an A-column 5, 6 of the motor vehicle 1. The monitors 13, 14 allocated to each of these cameras 11, 12 are located inside 7 the motor vehicle 1 in the area of the corresponding A-columns 5, 6, so that the visual field areas 15, 16 on the outside obstructed by the A-columns 5, 6 of the motor vehicle 1 can be shown to the driver 8 of the vehicle 1 on the monitors 13, 14.
