HEAD-UP DISPLAY SYSTEM

摘要

The disclosure relates to a head-up display system (1) for usage in automobiles, comprising a protective housing (2) and a combiner positioning device (3) to pivotably and/or slidably guide a foldable combiner (4) between a folded-in storage position (S) and a folded-out operating position (O). In case of an accident when an external compression force (F) that impacts on the combiner (4) and/or the combiner positioning device exceeds a specified limit, at least one predetermined breaking point (10) of a breakable bearing connection of the combiner positioning device (3) with rigid bearing components (7, 11) of the head-up display system (1) breaks in a controlled manner, whereby the combiner positioning device (3) as well as the combiner (4) are folded substantially downwards (D) into the protective housing (2).

主权项

1. A heads-up display system (HUD) comprising:
a protective housing; and a combiner positioning device configured to pivotably and slidably guide a foldable combiner between a folded-in storage position and a folded-out operating position, wherein the combiner positioning device comprises a breakable bearing connection comprising rigid bearing components and a predetermined breaking point, wherein the bearing connection is constructed to break in a controlled manner in response to an external compression force on one of the combiner or the combiner positioning device exceeding a specified limit, and wherein, in response to the bearing connection breaking, the combiner positioning device and the combiner are configured to fold substantially downwards into the protective housing.
