Abstract
Description
La présente invention concerne un rétroviseur pour véhicules de toute nature permet tant d'éliminer l'angle mort des rétroviseurs traditionnels. The present invention relates to a rear-view mirror for vehicles of all kinds which makes it possible to eliminate the blind spot of traditional rear-view mirrors.
Dans l'état actuel de la technique, il n'existe rien de comparable dispositif objet de l'invention, les rétroviseurs traditionnels ne permettant pas de résoudre le problème de l'angle mort. In the current state of the art, there is nothing comparable device object of the invention, traditional mirrors do not solve the problem of the blind spot.
En effet, les rétroviseurs normaux (ayant un miroir à surface plane) ne peuvent point résoudre ce problème et, d'autre part, les rétroviseurs dits panoramiques (ayant dimensions plus importantes et exploitant les propriétés des miroirs convexes ou con caves afin d'élargir le champ de vision) provoquent des distorsions l'image réfléchie ne permettant pas de correctement apprécier la situation existante à l'arrière du véhicule. Indeed, normal mirrors (having a flat surface mirror) cannot solve this problem and, on the other hand, so-called panoramic mirrors (having larger dimensions and exploiting the properties of convex or concave mirrors in order to widen the field of vision) cause distortions of the reflected image, making it impossible to correctly assess the existing situation at the rear of the vehicle.
Qui plus est, du fait de leurs dimensions, les rétroviseurs panoramiques ne sont ins talles et ne peuvent être installés qu'à l'intérieur d'un véhicule à habitacle, où la position même du conducteur, ainsi que les éventuels montants latéraux vehicule (de gauche droite selon la position du poste de conduite), font obstacle a ce l'on puisse cor rectement couvrir l'angle mort. What is more, because of their dimensions, the panoramic mirrors are not installed and can only be installed inside a passenger compartment vehicle, where the driver's position, as well as any vehicle side uprights ( from left to right, depending on the position of the driver's seat), obstruct the possibility of correctly covering the blind spot.
ailleurs, et toujours en raison de leurs dimensions, les rétroviseurs panoramiques peuvent pas être installés sur des véhicules sans habitacle. elsewhere, and still due to their dimensions, the panoramic mirrors cannot be installed on vehicles without a passenger compartment.
dispositif objet de l'invention se propose de résoudre tous ces problèmes. device object of the invention proposes to solve all these problems.
est constitué d'un rétroviseur pour véhicules de toute nature caractérisé en ce que surface réfléchissante du miroir est divisée en 2 parties, dont l'une orientée ou peut etre orientée de façon à lui permettre d'assurer la fonction d'un rétroviseur traditionnel, a lors l'autre est orientée ou peut être orientée de façon à lui permettre de couvrir l'an- mort: chacune des 2 parties étant plane ou convexe ou concave et 2 parties étant juxtaposées ou superposées, de mêmes dimensions ou de dimensions differentes. consists of a mirror for vehicles of all kinds, characterized in that the reflecting surface of the mirror is divided into 2 parts, one of which is oriented or can be oriented so as to enable it to perform the function of a traditional mirror, a then the other is oriented or can be oriented so as to allow it to cover the carcass: each of the 2 parts being planar or convex or concave and 2 parts being juxtaposed or superimposed, of the same dimensions or of different dimensions.
Les caractéristiques et les avantages de la présente invention seront mieux compris à lecture de la description donnée ci-après à titre d'exemple non limitatif. The characteristics and advantages of the present invention will be better understood on reading the description given below by way of non-limiting example.
Dans le cas le plus général, le dispositif selon l'invention est installé sur le côté exté rieur gauche d'un véhicule à habitacle ayant le poste de conduite à gauche, l'une des 2 parties du miroir étant orientée ou pouvant être orientée de façon à qu'elle assure la fonction d'un rétroviseur traditionnel, alors que l'autre est orientée ou peut être orientée de façon à ce qu'elle couvre l'angle mort, en obtenant ainsi une vision globale du champ si tue à l'arrière du véhicule : chacune des 2 parties étant plane ou convexe ou concave et parties étant juxtaposées ou superposées, de mêmes dimensions de dimensions differentes. In the most general case, the device according to the invention is installed on the outside left side of a passenger compartment vehicle with the driving position on the left, one of the 2 parts of the mirror being oriented or able to be oriented from so that it performs the function of a traditional rear view mirror, while the other is oriented or can be oriented so that it covers the blind spot, thus obtaining an overall vision of the field if killed 'rear of the vehicle: each of the 2 parts being flat or convex or concave and parts being juxtaposed or superimposed, of the same dimensions and of different dimensions.
Dans un cas plus spécifique, le dispositif selon l'invention est installe sur le côté exté- térieur droit véhicule à habitacle ayant le poste de conduite à droite, les 2 parties du dispositif ayant mêmes caractéristiques que dans le cas le plus général et étant orien tées ou pouvant etre orientées de la même façon, de manière à obtenir une vision globale du champ situé à l'arrière du véhicule. In a more specific case, the device according to the invention is installed on the outside right side of the passenger compartment vehicle having the driving position on the right, the 2 parts of the device having the same characteristics as in the most general case and being oriented tees or can be oriented in the same way, so as to obtain a global vision of the field located at the rear of the vehicle.
Selon une version modifiée du cas le plus général, le dispositif selon l'invention est installé sur le coté extérieur gauche ainsi qu'à l'intérieur d'un véhicule à habitacle ayant le poste de conduite à gauche, les 2 dispositifs ayant les mêmes caractéristiques que dans le cas le plus genéral et étant orientés ou pouvant être orientés de la même façon, de ma nière à obtenir une vision globale du champ situé à l'arrière du véhicule. According to a modified version of the most general case, the device according to the invention is installed on the left exterior side as well as inside a cockpit vehicle having the driving position on the left, the 2 devices having the same characteristics that in the most general case and being oriented or can be oriented in the same way, so as to obtain a global vision of the field located at the rear of the vehicle.
Selon une version modifiée du cas plus spécifique, le dispositif selon l'invention est installé sur le " " extérieur droit ainsi qu'à l'intérieur d'un véhicule à habitacle ayant le poste de conduite à droite, les 2 dispositifs ayant les mêmes caractéristiques dans le cas le plus genéral et étant orientés ou pouvant être orientés de la même façon, ma nière à obtenir vision globale du champ situé à l'arrière du véhicule. According to a modified version of the more specific case, the device according to the invention is installed on the "" outside right as well as inside a cockpit vehicle having the driving position on the right, the 2 devices having the same characteristics in the most general case and being oriented or being able to be oriented in the same way, so as to obtain a global vision of the field situated at the rear of the vehicle.
