    15 20 25 30 35 even in dark conditions and to be able to arrange warning lights and extra lights if necessary for increased traffic safety and visibility in connection with the transparent area.
    According to further aspects of the invention, it becomes possible to offer a roof box where one or your messages are illuminated with light from the inside of the roof box. These messages can be applied to the roof box with a number of different printing techniques. The design of the roof box also provides the opportunity to arrange warning lights for different contractors and emergency conditions where such is required in a protected place inside the roof box. It is also possible to arrange extra lights to create good visibility for vehicle drivers where such conditions require it. The fact that the entire arrangement is enclosed in an enclosed space must be regarded as great advantages in terms of dirt, snow and water, and not least damage and theft of the various components of the arrangement.
    BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS The invention will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawing figures, in which: Figs. 1a-d schematically show how a roof box according to an embodiment of the invention is constructed, Figs. 2 and 3 show in principle the constituent parts in the top part of the roof box according to different embodiments for applying a message to the top part, Fig. 4 schematically shows different types of light sources arranged on the top part, Fig. 5 shows how the bottom part is constructed, and Figs. 6a-c show in a side view a roof box according to the invention according to a preferred embodiment mounted on a vehicle.
    DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF FIGURES Figs. 1a-e schematically describe how a roof box according to a conceivable embodiment according to the invention is constructed. The roof box comprises a top part 1 which comprises a substantially horizontally extending top section 30 and side sections 31 extending downwards from said top section, see Fig. 1a, a bottom part 4 comprising a bottom section 32 and side sections 33 extending upwards from said bottom section, see f1g. lc.
    The bottom part is arranged in a manner known to the person skilled in the art with fastening devices and similar devices for mounting said roof box on a roof of a vehicle. In the closed position, the top part and the bottom part form a storage space for storing objects, see Fig. 1d which shows the roof box in a view from behind. The top part is movable in a known manner in relation to said bottom part between an open and a closed position, see Fig. 1e which shows the roof box in a front view in an open position. A gas spring 27 holds the top part in an open position. According to the inventive concept, at least one side section of the top part and / or the bottom part comprises an outer shell which is provided with a transparent iron area. Fig. 1c shows a transparent area 34 in the top part. Furthermore, an upper inner shell 2 is shown which can be joined to the upper outer shell to provide a double-walled casing in the top part if desired. Between the two shells, an inner space (35) is formed when they are joined. Fig. 1c shows in a cross-section a detail of a side section of a double-walled casing where the upper outer shell 1 is joined to the upper inner shell 2 along their respective peripheral edges. Furthermore, a cross section of a sealing strip 3 is intended for mounting along the lower edge of the top part, where otherwise the two shells are joined in a manner known to those skilled in the art, e.g. in the molding operation of the two shells, the peripheral edges of the two shells are pressed together so that they fuse together.
    Fig. 2a shows a sheet of thermoplastic 5 which in this case is completely transparent. On the underside (in finished form forming the inside of the upper outer shell) of this disc, a pre-printed foil 6 is applied with, for example, screen printing and the result is the composite disc 7 where a message 13 on the foil (1 and POWER.1) becomes clearly visible through the transparent disc. Thereafter, the disc undergoes a thermoforming operation where the disc is heated and pressed in a press forming tool to the desired shape, here the upper outer shell 1, which is shown schematically in Fig. 2d. It is also conceivable to screen print directly on the thermoplastic sheet.
    Unless otherwise stated in the description, the underside of the shell parts which form the top part is meant, the side which in finished form will be directed inwards, towards the storage space of the roof box. The upper side of the shell parts of the top part means the side which will be outwards, in the direction from the storage space of the roof box.
    Fig. 3a shows a second embodiment of the upper outer shell of the top part until the roof box is provided with some form of light source which illuminates the outer shell from the inside. According to a first variant of this embodiment, the upper outer shell is formed from a transparent sheet of electroluminescent material 10. An example of such a material is marketed under the trade name Bri fl ex by the company Metalor. According to a second variant of this embodiment, application of messages can be performed according to the method with colored electroluminescent pastes which can be screen-printed on a laminate of thermoplastic 13 described by the company Metalor, as indicated in Fig. 3b. According to a third variant of this embodiment, a light film 12, i.e. a film which glows when energized, can be applied to the underside of the upper outer shell. In this embodiment, the message 13 10 15 20 25 30 35 can either be applied to the underside of the upper outer shell, or to the top of the light film. The result after thermoforming is a top part of the roof box that can be illuminated from the inside, which is shown in Fig. 3c, where a possible message is clearly visible even in the evening.
    The power is supplied through an electric cord 21.
    Figs. 4a-d show some different ways of illuminating the upper outer shell of the top part. I fi g. 4a-c refers to designs where the underside of the upper outer shell is provided with the message to be displayed. Fig. 4a shows a light film 12 mounted on the top of the upper inner shell 2. Fig. 4b schematically shows a strip 15 with light emitting diodes 16 mounted on the top of the upper inner shell 2. Another way of illuminating the upper outer shell is to mount a light wire 17 (httpz // www.thinlight.se/produkter / liustradñ on the upper side of the upper inner shell12 which is illustrated in Fig. 4c. Another solution for illuminating the upper outer shell 1 may be to screen print with colored or uncoloured electroluminescent pastes 29 or similar media on the upper part of the upper inner shell 2, ie using the technique described by the company Metalor, the result being the upper double-walled shell comprising the upper outer shell 1 and the upper inner shell 2 which together form an intermediate inner space (35) It is understood that it is advantageous to arrange the light sources in the inner space between the shells. On the one hand, they are protected against the damage of weather and wind and of loaded goods in the roof box. even storage space, and people are protected from coming into contact with live parts.
    Fig. 5a shows in profile a light source 19, e.g. a warning light or auxiliary light but also a light source for illuminating messages is meant, which is applied to a specially shaped strip 20 which is mounted in the bottom part 4, which is shown in Fig. 5b. I fi g. 5c shows the bottom part of the roof box in a front view. The bottom part 4 here contains an arrangement of extra lights 22 which are well protected inside a transparent area in the front side section of the bottom part. I fi g. 5d shows the inside of the bottom part in a view from above. The figure indicates a number of internal walls 23, suitably demountable and combinable in different ways for dividing the sizes suitable for the user for storage by mounting in grooves in the walls and bottom of the bottom part. The bottom part 4 also comprises hinges 25 or other suitable cohesive devices by means of which the top part 1 and the bottom part 4 can be joined together, as well as brackets 26 for gas springs or the like for folding up and stabilizing the top part in folded-up position. In the bottom part 4 there is also control, regulation and electronics equipment 24 mounted which has the task of controlling the various lighting functions such as flashing frequency for warning lights, switching of auxiliary lights in different positions and converting the current to the current light source for lighting the upper outer shell. In the preferred case, control, regulation and electronic equipment 24 should also regulate the start and stop of the current to light sources, for example by an electronic equipment via some form of signal (sound, electricity, vibrations) providing input to the control source. , control and electronics equipment 24 to start or stop the power to the light source. Energy for driving control, regulation and electronics equipment 24, comes from the vehicle's electrical system via an electrical cable 21.
    I fi g. 6 shows an inventive roof box mounted on a commercial vehicle 28. The figure shows how the upper outer shell 1 is illuminated from the inside, e.g. via a light film 12 applied to the upper inner shell 2, A message 13 (WALLWORK) clearly appears against a brilliant background.
    The message can be in colored material with different degrees of light transmittance, (transparent, translucent). A strip 20 mounted on the inside of the side piece of the bottom part, inside a transparent area, comprises light sources 19 which give a flashing warning light.
    The invention also relates to the use of an electroluminescent panel as a light source in a roof box according to the invention.
    The invention is not limited by what has been described above, but can be varied within the scope of the appended claims. It is understood, for example, that the roof box can be adapted with different light sources, warning lights, etc. to different light requirements, for different conditions and markets. For example. the top part can be equipped with warning lights and extra lights according to the embodiment described for the bottom part and logos etc. can be arranged in the bottom part and illuminated. Sub-areas of the roof box can be illuminated by regulating which light sources are lit. If different colored light sources, e.g. diodes, these can of course be arranged to create the message you want to illustrate. This can be used alone or in combination with pressure. The transparent area can be made different sizes, as needed, and transparent areas can be shielded with non-light transmissive film or print if the need arises and shielded transparent areas are opened up.
    The transparency of the print can be regulated by the raster density of the print. Messages can be easily changed by replacing the printed film. It is also conceivable to arrange the top part so that the transparent outer shell, in the event that the message is applied to it, becomes replaceable, in order to quickly change the message on an otherwise unchanged roof box.
    It is of course conceivable to apply a message to the outside of the upper outer shell in order to avoid disassembling a double-walled top part, but it is understood that this entails an increased wear on the message. An advantage of arranging the print on the inside is that if the print is made on a film, a cheaper foil can be used, not weather-resistant, UV-resistant, etc. Likewise, a cheaper print can be used. Light sources known to those skilled in the art other than those mentioned above may of course be used. It is of course conceivable to arrange the light source in the top part on the inside of the outer shell and to illuminate a message arranged on the inner shell, which is then illuminated and clearly visible through the transparent area.
    Sub-areas of the top part or the bottom part can be made double-walled as needed.
    If needed, the inner shell can be made easily replaceable, e.g. a disc which is placed in some form of holder or groove, for easy replacement of e.g. message.
    Being able to gather in one and the same unit in one and the same unit transport possibilities of a lighter form as well as warning lights and illuminated areas for messages as well as extra enhanced lighting conditions where required, for example when monitoring different purposes and reconnaissance for road injuries and injured animals. the roof box will be easy to handle, efficient and cost-saving. Being able to add or remove different parts of the event when needed must be considered a great advantage. Being able to divide the roof box's cargo space into larger or smaller compartments should be seen as a great advantage for the initiate. That messages can be easily changed and that the roof box can be easily adapted to different lighting requirements in different conditions and markets must also be considered very advantageous.
