Abstract
Description
La présente invention concerne un dispositif qui élargit
le champ visuel du conducteur d'un véhicule automobile à
gauche ou à droite selon les besoins , balayant ainsi dans le
cas d'une route à deux ou trois voies, la partie de la
chaussée réservée aux voitures roulant en sens inverse, même
lorsque le véhicule qui prêcède masque la visibilité. The present invention relates to a device which widens
the field of vision of the driver of a motor vehicle
left or right as needed, thus sweeping in the
case of a two or three lane road, the part of the
carriageway reserved for cars traveling in the opposite direction, even
when the vehicle ahead precedes visibility.
Traditionnellement, daubler un camion sur une route
départementale cu nationale oblige le conducteur à se pencher
au maximun vers la gauche, et à déporter son véhicule en
empiétant sur la file réservée à la circulatIon opposée pour
vérifier s'il peut doubler ou se rabattre d'urgence le cas
échéant. La manoeuvre de depassement est rendue d'autant plus
périlleuse pour des voitures britanniques (volant à droites
circulant sur le continent et, de la mème manière. pour les
veitures dont la conduite est à gauche roulant en Grande
Bratagne.Traditionally, swaying a truck on a road
departmental cu national obliges the driver to lean
to the maximum to the left, and to deport his vehicle in
encroaching on the line reserved for the opposite circulation for
check if he can double or fold back the case urgently
if necessary. The overtaking maneuver is made all the more
perilous for British cars (right hand drive
circulating on the continent and, in the same way. for the
veitures whose driving is on the left rolling in Grande
Bratagne.
Le dispositif selon l'invention permet de remédier a ce inconvénient. The device according to the invention overcomes this drawback.
Il comporte en effet selon une première caractéristique un
boitier en verre ransparent contenant un prisme multifaces e
verre, qui est l'élement otique. Le boïtier contenant le
prisme est articulé par une rotule bi-direct.onnelle fixée sur
le rétroviseur latéral de manlère à permettre un réglage
indépendant.According to a first characteristic, it indeed comprises
transparent glass case containing a multifaceted prism e
glass, which is the otic element. The case containing the
prism is articulated by a bi-direct ball joint.
side mirror to allow adjustment
independent.
Selon des modes partiouliers de fabrication
~ le prisme est réalisé en matière plastique rigide
et transparente.According to particular manufacturing methods
~ the prism is made of rigid plastic
and transparent.
- les faces utiles du prisme présentent un profil
convexe ou concave pour une plus grande ouverture d'angle ou
une meilleure concentration de l'image. - the useful faces of the prism have a profile
convex or concave for greater angle opening or
better image concentration.
- le dispositif optique qui est le prisme est
remplacé par un jeu de lentilles ou par des miroirs, voire une mini-caméra vidéo.- the optical device which is the prism is
replaced by a set of lenses or by mirrors, or even a mini video camera.
- le boitier est réalisé en matiere plastique rigide
et transparente, il présente un profil aéro-dynamique. - the case is made of rigid plastic
and transparent, it has an aerodynamic profile.
et comporte des enjoliveurs sur les faces ne servant pas à la visibilité.and has hubcaps on the faces not used for visibility.
- le dispositif est intégré dans un seul et meme bloc que le rétroviseur latéral. - The device is integrated in one and the same block as the side mirror.
- la fixation du dispositif au véhicule est effectuée sur la portière ou sur l'aile avant droite ou gauche de la voiture. - the device is attached to the vehicle on the door or on the right or left front fender of the car.
- la rotule d'articulation est remplacée par un boudin métallique tressé conservant une torsion bidirectionnelle. - the articulation ball joint is replaced by a braided metal rod retaining a bidirectional twist.
A titre d'exemple, les dessins annexés illustrent l'application de l'invention sur un véhicule dont le volant est a droite,
La figure 1 montre le dispositif fixé sur le rétroviseur latéral gauche d'une voiture à conduite à droite.By way of example, the accompanying drawings illustrate the application of the invention on a vehicle whose steering wheel is on the right,
Figure 1 shows the device attached to the left side mirror of a right-hand drive car.
La fIgure 2 représente l'angle de vislblite sur le coté latéral gauche pour une voiture britannique cIrculant sur une route du continent
La figure 3 montre un plan de face du dispostif monté sur le rétroviseur latéral gauche.FIGURE 2 represents the vislblite angle on the left side for a British car traveling on a mainland road
Figure 3 shows a front view of the device mounted on the left side mirror.
La figure 4 représente une coupe sur le dispositif suivant l'axe AA. Figure 4 shows a section on the device along the axis AA.
En référence à ces dessins le dispositif comporte un boîtier (1) en verre transparent traité anti-choc, présentant un profil aéro-dynamique et comportant des enJoliveurs(2' en matière plastique sur les surfaces ne servant pas directement à la visibilité. A l'intérieur de ce boîtier (1) est fixé un prisme (3) en verre. Le boîtierC1) contenant le prisme (3) est articulé par une rotule (4) bi-directionnelle fixée sur le rétroviseur latéral (5) de la voiture. Les dimensions du prisme (3) sont telles que la vue refletée soit la plus panoramique possible. A titre d'exemple non limitatif, une face utile du prisme (3 > aura les memes dimensions qu'un rétroviseur (5) latéral classique. L'angle CX dépend du modèle de la voiture et la position du dispositif sur celle-ci. With reference to these drawings, the device comprises a casing (1) made of transparent glass, anti-shock treated, having an aerodynamic profile and comprising hubcaps (2 'made of plastic material on surfaces not directly serving visibility. inside this box (1) is fixed a glass prism (3). The box C1) containing the prism (3) is articulated by a bi-directional ball joint (4) fixed on the side mirror (5) of the car. The dimensions of the prism (3) are such that the reflected view is as panoramic as possible. By way of nonlimiting example, a useful face of the prism (3> will have the same dimensions as a conventional side view mirror (5). The angle CX depends on the model of the car and the position of the device thereon.
L'angle ss représente l'angle de visibilité de la ciroulation opposée. Il est réglable par 12 conducteur. The angle ss represents the angle of visibility of the opposite flow. It is adjustable by 12 conductors.
Le dispositif selon l'invention est partioulièroment destiné aux véhioules auto-tractés lourds Ü légers empruntant les voies de circulation routière. Il est destiné à faciliter la manoeuvre de dépassement en améliorant la visibilité. The device according to the invention is particularly intended for heavy or light self-towing vehicles traveling on road traffic lanes. It is intended to facilitate the overtaking maneuver by improving visibility.
