Abstract

The application relates to an external rearview mirror for vehicles, especially for automobiles, with a casing which accommodates an adjustable piece of mirror glass and has means extending round on its outside surface for collecting dirty water and for diverting the latter into the lower outside corner of the casing. In order to streamline such a rearview mirror in an especially advantageous fashion, provision is made according to the invention for the means for collecting the dirty water to be formed from two troughs which are arranged one behind the other in the direction of travel and are recessed in relation to the external surface of the casing.

Description

Zwischen der Schale 2a und dem Ring 2b des Gehäuses 2 ist eine erste versenkte, unlaufende Rinne 4 vorgesehen, durch die der größte Teil des auf das Gehäuse 2 auftreffenden Schmutzwassers aufgefangen und zur unteren äußeren Gehäuseecke 5 abgeführt wird. Übersteigt die auftreffende Schmutzwassermenge die Aufnahmefähiglceit der ersten Rinne 4, so fließen wesentlich verkleinerte Tropfen bis zu einer zweiten, gleichfalls umlaufenden Rinne 6 weiter. Diese zweite Rinne 6 weist ebenfalls eine Doppelfunktion auf. Sie führt nämlich einerseits eine gewisse Schmutzwassermenge zur unteren äußeren Gehäuseecke 5 ab und bewirkt andererseits eine weitere Verkleinerung der Tropfengröße. Werden diese kleineren Resttropfen von der Spiegelumströmung erfaßt und mitgerissen, so treffen sie nicht mehr in dem Bereich der zugeordneten Seitenscheibe auf, der unbedingt schmutzfrei bleiben sollte, um einen ungehinderten Blick in den Spiegel zu gewährleisten. Between the shell 2a and the ring 2b of the housing 2 is a first Recessed, non-running channel 4 is provided, through which most of the on the Housing 2 collected dirty water and to the lower outer corner of the housing 5 is discharged. If the amount of dirty water impinging on it exceeds the absorption capacity the first channel 4, so much smaller drops flow up to a second, also circumferential channel 6 further. This second channel 6 also has a Double function. On the one hand, it carries a certain amount of wastewater to the lower outer housing corner 5 and, on the other hand, causes a further reduction in size the drop size. If these smaller residual droplets are caught by the flow around the mirror and carried away, they no longer hit the area of the associated side window which should absolutely remain free of dirt in order to have an unobstructed view of the Ensure mirror.

Patentanspruch: Außenrückblickspiegel für Fahrzeuge, insbesondere Kraftwagen, mit einem ein verstellbares Spiegelglas aufnehmenden Gehäuse, das an seiner Außenfläche umlaufende Mittel zum Auffangen von Schmutzwasser und zum Ableiten desselben in die untere äußere Gehäuseecke aufweist, d a d u r c h gekennzeichnet, daß die Mittel zum Auffangen des Schmutzwassers von zwei in Fahrtrichtung hintereinander angeordneten, gegenüber der Außenfläche des Gehäuses (2) versenkten Rinnen (4 und 6) gebildet werden. Claim: Outside rearview mirror for vehicles, in particular Motor vehicle, with an adjustable mirror glass accommodating housing that is attached to Means surrounding its outer surface for collecting and draining off dirty water has the same in the lower outer corner of the housing, which is marked by, that the means for collecting the dirty water of two in the direction of travel one behind the other arranged, opposite the outer surface of the housing (2) recessed channels (4 and 6) can be formed. Die Erfindung betrifft einen Außenrückblickspiegel für Fahrzeuge, insbesondere für Kraftwagen, mit einem ein verstellbares Spiegelglas aufnehmenden Gehäuse, das an seiner Außenfläche umlaufende Mittel zum Auffangen von Schmutzwasser und zum Ableiten desselben in die untere äußere Gehäuseecke aufweist. The invention relates to an outside rearview mirror for vehicles, especially for motor vehicles, with an adjustable mirror glass receiving Housing, the circumferential means on its outer surface for collecting dirty water and for diverting the same into the lower outer housing corner. Ein derartiger Außenrückblickspiegel ist bereits der DE-AS 2032019 als bekannt zu entnehmen. Ein solcher Außenrückblickspiegel trägt zwar wesentlich zur Schmutzfreihaltung der zugeordneten Seitenscheibe eines Fahrzeugs bei, er weist aber auch den Nachteil auf, daß durch seine in Fahrtrichtung offene Wasserauffangrinne eine nicht unwesentliche Luftwiderstandserhöhung bewirkt wird. Such an outside rearview mirror is already DE-AS 2032019 as known. Such an outside rearview mirror is essential to keep the associated side window of a vehicle free of dirt, he has but also the disadvantage that due to its open water gutter in the direction of travel a not insignificant increase in air resistance is caused. Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Außenrückblickspiegel der vorstehend definierten Gattung so auszugestalten, daß trotz eines besonders strömungsgünstigen Spiegelgehäuses eine wirksame Schmutzfreihaltung der zugeordneten Seitenscheibe des Fahrzeugs und der Spiegelfläche erreicht wird. The invention is based on the object of an outside rearview mirror of the genre defined above so that despite one special Streamlined mirror housing effectively keeping the associated dirt-free Side window of the vehicle and the mirror surface is reached. Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß die Mittel zum Auffangen des Schmutzwassers von zwei in Fahrtrichtung hintereinander angeordneten, gegenüber der Außenfläche des Gehäuses versenkten Rinnen gebildet werden. This object is achieved according to the invention in that the means to collect the dirty water from two arranged one behind the other in the direction of travel, recessed grooves are formed relative to the outer surface of the housing. Der Gegenstand der Erfindung soll im folgenden anhand eine in der Zeichnung schematisch dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiels näher erläutert werden. The object of the invention is intended below with reference to one in the Drawing schematically illustrated embodiment will be explained in more detail. In der Zeichnung zeigt F i g. 1 eine perspektivische Teilansicht eines Kraftwagens mit einem Außenrückblickspiegel auf der linken Fahrzeugseite, und F i g. 2 in größerem Maßstab einen Schnitt nach der Liniell-llinFigl. In the drawing, F i g. 1 is a partial perspective view a motor vehicle with an outside rearview mirror on the left side of the vehicle, and F i g. 2 on a larger scale a section according to the Liniell-llinFigl. Der in F i g. 1 der Zeichnung in einem Ausschnitt dargestellte Kraftwagen weist einen Außenrückblickspiegell auf, der in F i g. 2 in einem Schnitt näher dargestellt ist. The in F i g. 1 of the drawing shown in a section of the motor vehicle has an outside rearview mirror which is shown in FIG. 2 shown in more detail in a section is. Der Außenrückblickspiegel 1 weist ein aus einer Schale 2a und einem Ring 2b bestehendes Gehäuse 2 auf, in dem ein Spiegelglas 3 in nicht dargestellter Weise einstellbar gelagert ist. The outside rearview mirror 1 has a shell 2a and a shell Ring 2b on existing housing 2, in which a mirror glass 3 in not shown Way is adjustable.
