Abstract

A rear-view mirror which automatically eliminates the blind spots when the driver wishes to overtake uses switches and sensors connected to the turn signal lever on the steering column. A hydraulic or pneumatic motor adjusts the mirror position for normal straight-ahead driving, as desired, and with a given deviation in angle from the normal travel direction, the mirror moves by a certain preprogrammed amount, so that the driver does not have to turn his head to look over his shoulder. After the manoeuvre, the mirror returns to its normal position with blind spot. The adjustment may be specifically activated by the driver's voice, rather than by sensors.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Rückspiegelverstellung der im Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1 angegebenen Art.The invention relates to a rear view mirror adjustment in Preamble of claim 1 specified type.

Rückspiegel sind in allen Fahrzeugen, die am allgemeinen Straßenverkehr teilnehmen dürfen zwingend vorgeschrieben, in Sonderfahrzeugen aus Sicherheitsgründen ebenfalls vorhanden. Einige Rückspiegelausführungen sind zum Zwecke der Verstellung automatisiert und stehen verbreitet im Einsatz, sind daher als bekannt zu bezeichnen.Rearview mirrors are common in all vehicles Road traffic may compulsorily participate in Special vehicles also available for safety reasons. Some rear-view mirror designs are for the purpose of adjustment automated and are widely used, are therefore to be known as known.

Diese Automatisierung wird mit Hilfe von Verstellaggregaten realisiert, die mittels Schalter, oder vorprogrammierter Voreinstellung den Befehl ausführen.This automation is done with the help of adjustment units realized by means of switches, or pre-programmed Execute the command by default.

In der Regel dient diese Verstellung dem Fahrerwechsel, um den Rückspiegel individuell der Fahrergröße und Position anzupassen. Auch bei Veränderung der Sitzposition wird eine entsprechende Verstellung vorgenommen.As a rule, this adjustment serves to change the driver by the Adapt the rearview mirror to the driver's size and position. A corresponding change is also made when the seating position is changed Adjustment made.

Als nachteilig wird bei einer eingestellten Rückspiegelposition empfunden, daß bei Fahrbahnwechsel Überholmanövern, Auffahren auf die erste Fahrbahnspur der Autobahn von der Beschleunigungs­ spur aus und der damit verbundenen Vergewisserung des hinter, oder neben dem eigenen Fahrzeug fahrenden Verkehrs der Fahrer seinen Kopf über die entsprechende Schulter (rechts, oder links) drehen muß, um den "toten Winkel" des Rückspiegels zu über­ brücken und sich davon zu überzeugen, daß kein anderer Verkehrs­ teilnehmer sich in diesem toten Winkel befindet und bei einer entsprechenden Aktion behindert, oder gar gefährdet wird. Als nachteilig hat sich dabei ergeben, daß viele Autofahrer/ -fahrerinnen ihren Kopf aus körperlichen, gesundheitlichen Gründen, wegen schlechter Beweglichkeit der Nackenmuskulatur, Fettleibigkeit, Faulheit, Bequemlichkeit, Nachlässigkeit, oder der Angst des Verreißens des Steuers nicht drehen und sich so­ mit nicht genügend davon überzeugen, daß die Verkehrssituation eine Änderung der Fahrspur, oder Fahrtrichtung erlaubt. Gefährliche Situationen aus diesen Gründen erlebt jeder Fahr­ zeugfahrer fast täglich.A disadvantage when the rearview mirror position is set felt that when changing lanes, overtaking maneuvers, driving up on the first lane of the highway from the acceleration trace out and the related assurance of the rear, or in addition to drivers driving their own vehicle his head over the corresponding shoulder (right or left) has to turn to over the "blind spot" of the rearview mirror bridge and convince yourself that no other traffic participant is in this blind spot and at one corresponding action is hindered or even endangered. It has turned out to be disadvantageous that many motorists / -riders their head out of physical, health Reasons, because of poor mobility of the neck muscles, Obesity, laziness, comfort, negligence, or the fear of ripping the steering wheel and so on with not convincing enough that the traffic situation a change of lane, or direction of travel allowed. Every driver experiences dangerous situations for these reasons witness drivers almost every day.

Es stellt sich daher die Aufgabe, einen Rückspiegel und seine entsprechende Steuerung nach dem Oberbegriff 1 des Patentan­ spruchs zu schaffen, bei dem diese Nachteile reduziert, oder gar ausgeschaltet werden. Dies verlangt eigentlich die Ver­ kehrssicherheit.It is therefore the task of creating a rear view mirror and its corresponding control according to the preamble 1 of the patent claim, in which these disadvantages are reduced, or even eliminated. This actually requires road safety.
