Abstract

An arrangement for mounting a projection screen for a head-up-display, which can be attached in a removable fashion to a windscreen of a vehicle in the driver's field of vision, contains a mount for the projection screen, which mount forms a detachable connection with a base frame. The mount has a carrier on which the projection screen is mounted and which can be connected to the base frame by at least two magnetic coupling points.

Claims (22)

1. An arrangement for mounting a projection screen for a head-up display, which can be fitted in a removable manner on a windshield of a vehicle in the driver's field of vision, comprising:

a holder for the projection screen, the holder forming a releasable connection to a basic framework,

wherein the holder has a carrier, on which the projection screen is mounted and which can be connected to the basic framework by way of at least two magnetic coupling locations, and

wherein a first magnetic coupling location is formed by a prism/sphere pairing and a second magnetic coupling location is spaced apart therefrom.

2. The arrangement as claimed in claim 1 wherein the spaced-apart second magnetic coupling location is formed by a plane/sphere pairing.

3. The arrangement as claimed in claim 1 wherein the spaced-apart second magnetic coupling location is formed by a plane/cylinder pairing.

4. The arrangement as claimed in claim 1 wherein the magnetic coupling locations contain magnets which are designed as permanent magnets.

5. The arrangement as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the magnets are fitted on the basic framework, and counterparts, which correspond to the magnets and are made of a ferromagnetic material, are arranged on the carrier.

6. The arrangement as claimed in claim 4 wherein the magnets are fitted on the carrier, and counterparts, which correspond to the magnets and are made of a ferromagnetic material, are arranged on the basic framework.

7. The arrangement as claimed in claim 1 wherein the connection between the carrier and the basic framework is secured by a snap-in connection.

8. The arrangement as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the snap-in connection is formed from a securing tongue, which is mounted on the basic framework, and an aperture, which is provided on the carrier.

9. An arrangement for mounting a projection screen for a head-up display, which can be fitted in a removable manner on a windshield of a vehicle in the driver's field of vision, comprising:

a holder for the projection screen, the holder forming a releasable connection to a basic framework,

wherein the holder has a carrier, on which the projection screen is mounted and which can be connected to the basic framework by way of at least two magnetic coupling locations, and

wherein a first magnetic coupling location is formed by a prism/cylinder pairing and a second magnetic coupling location is spaced apart therefrom.

10. The arrangement as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the spaced-apart second magnetic coupling location is formed by a plane/sphere pairing.

11. The arrangement as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the spaced-apart second magnetic coupling location is formed by a plane/cylinder pairing.

12. The arrangement as claimed in claim 9 wherein the magnetic coupling locations contain magnets which are designed as permanent magnets.

13. The arrangement as claimed in claim 12 , wherein the magnets are fitted on the basic framework, and counterparts, which correspond to the magnets and are made of a ferromagnetic material, are arranged on the carrier.

14. The arrangement as claimed in claim 12 wherein the magnets are fitted on the carrier, and counterparts, which correspond to the magnets and are made of a ferromagnetic material, are arranged on the basic framework.

15. The arrangement as claimed in claim 9 wherein the connection between the carrier and the basic framework is secured by a snap-in connection.

16. The arrangement as claimed in claim 15 , wherein the snap-in connection is formed from a securing tongue, which is mounted on the basic framework, and an aperture, which is provided on the carrier.
