Definitions

  • the adjustment mechanism comprises an adjuster screw which connects the lens to the engagement surface.
  • the surface area of the lens is less than the surface area of the mirror surface. It is envisaged that the surface area of the lens which is visible to a driver in use should be kept to a minimum whilst remaining large enough to provide discernible and useful visual information to a driver.
  • the lens is located at an intermediate position between the mirror surface and a vehicle body to which the mirror apparatus is attachable.
  • a mirror assembly for attaching to the side of a vehicle body; the mirror assembly comprising:
  • the mirror assembly is provided at both the driver and passenger sides of the vehicle.
  • the mirror apparatus is provided proximate a driver's eye level.
  • Fig. 1 shows a typical driver's view from within an HGV's cabin

Abstract

L'invention concerne un appareil à lentille qui coopère avec un boîtier de miroir (14) sur le côté d'une carrosserie de véhicule. La lentille peut être une lentille de Fresnel (22) qui agit pour réfracter la lumière incidente provenant de scènes au-dessous et/ou à l'avant (B1, B2) qui sont masquées d'une ligne de vision du conducteur (54, 56). La lentille (22) peut être formée d'un seul tenant avec le boîtier de miroir (Figures 6a, 6b); ou elle peut être adaptée ultérieurement par le biais de sangles élastiques (30) de telle sorte qu'une portion (22d) de celle-ci fait saillie au-delà d'un bord périphérique (14d) du boîtier de miroir (14). Dans le cas de la version pouvant être adaptée ultérieurement, le plan de la lentille par rapport au boîtier de miroir peut être ajusté par l'intermédiaire d'un mécanisme de réglage à vis (40) relié à la lentille (22) à proximité de deux de ses coins.
