Abstract

A vehicle's rear-view mirror has a broad outer section (2) which provides coverage of the usual field behind. A narrower inner section (3) does not cover this field, but is aligned upon the blind spot otherwise encountered around the vehicle's quarter. Both sections are carried on a common support (7), but can be individually orientated by manual or power control from inside the vehicle. A driver thus receives a comprehensive presentation of traffic location behind him, including those units in course of overtaking. ADVANTAGE - Two-section individually-controllable mirror concept solves basic blind spot problem encountered in most vehicles and provides driver with comprehensive view of activity behind him.

Description

La présente invention concerne un dispositif relatif à un "RFTRC -VISEUR A DOUBLE FOYER ",composé d'un miroir en deux parties:ces deux par -ties séparées,ayant une orientation diffrente,permettent ainsi d'obtenir un champ de vision différent et double,complémentaire,supprimant ainsi "l'angle mort" existant avec un rétroviseur normal. The present invention relates to a device relating to an "RFTRC - DOUBLE FIREPLACE VIEWFINDER", composed of a mirror in two parts: these two separate parts, having a different orientation, thus make it possible to obtain a different field of vision and double, complementary, thus eliminating the existing "blind spot" with a normal mirror.

Ces deux miroirs sont juxtaposés et incorporés dans un "bloc" "ré -troviseur",mais peuvent avoir une position adaptée soit par u déplacement latéral ou vertical,manuel ou électrique au noyen d'un moteur électrique. These two mirrors are juxtaposed and incorporated in a "block" "rear-view mirror", but can have a suitable position either by u lateral or vertical displacement, manual or electric to the core of an electric motor.

La forme et la taille du rétroviseur et des miroirs seront ariables et adaptées aux besoins. The shape and size of the mirror and mirrors will be adjustable and adapted to the needs.

Le dispositif comporte un grand miroir (I) ayant un cham@ de vision plus grand et plus large situé sur la partie gauche (5) et d'un miroir petit (2) couvrant le secteur de l'ancienne "zône morte" (65.  The device comprises a large mirror (I) having a larger and wider viewing chamber located on the left side (5) and a small mirror (2) covering the sector of the former "dead area" (65 .

Le dispositif peut se présenter par la juxtaposition de 2 miroirs (2) et (3) séparés et orientables séparément. The device can be presented by the juxtaposition of 2 mirrors (2) and (3) separate and orientable separately.

La figure 2 reprnsente le dispositf.  Figure 2 shows the device.
