ABSTRACT:
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to an arrangement with special lights for a vehicle, comprising a stage which is provided with at least two headlights, and which is intended to be fastened to the front portion of the vehicle, the vehicle preferably having a bumper and a bonnet with an integrated radiator grill.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
This type of arrangement with special lights is very common on vehicles today, especially during the dark season. A problem with the arrangement is that it has become especially liable to be stolen. This problem could of course be solved if the arrangement could easily be loosened and be taken indoors for storage during the night by the owner. This can not be simply done with arrangements with special lights, known in the market, and therefore the arrangement with special lights is allowed to be remained on the vehicle.
Another problem that has arisen during later years is that many of the most popular car models have bonnets with an integrated radiator grill. This means that the radiator grill of the modern cars cannot be a stationary fastening point for the arrangement with special lights in that way it was on cars of older model.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
This invention intends to solve these two problems and to provide a technical solution that allows not only a simple demounting of the arrangement with special lights but also allows a simple and stable mounting on that type of private cars which are provided with a radiator grill integrated with the bonnet. This has been made possible by an arrangement of the kind mentioned by way of introduction which has the combination of the following features:
The arrangement comprises a first type of holding means, which is intended to be fastened to the front portion of the vehicle, for instance on the bumper of the vehicle or on a cross-beam arranged in connection to the bumper;
The arrangement comprises a second type of holding means in the form of quick coupling means, which has two main parts being able to be connected to each other, the one main part being articulately fastened on the headlights and/or the stage, and the other main part, co-operating with the first one, projecting outside the radiator grill and being fastened to the same, alternatively on the inside of the bonnet;
All headlights are electrically interconnected to the first part of an electric coupling means, the second part of which, which is intended to be connected with the first part, is connected to the electric system of the vehicle and accordingly stationarily arranged in the vehicle.
