Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable a passenger to sufficiently view a front scene in the state of being seated on a rear seat. SOLUTION: An upper mirror l inclined forward by about 45 deg. is provided above a head rest 4. The head rest 4 is provided therein with a light passage cavity 7 of L-shape leading to the rear part from the upper part, and the bottom part of the light passage cavity 7 is provided with a lower mirror 2 turned backward and upward by about 45 deg.. With this structure, a person seated on a rear seat can view a front scene on the mirror surface of the lower mirror 2.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a device for viewing the scenery ahead from the rear seat of a passenger car.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional technique for facilitating the view of the front scene from the rear seat of a passenger car and its disadvantages will be described. I. There is a way to raise the position of the rear seat, but it has not been effective enough. B. There is one that cuts out the center of the headrest so that you can see the front even a little, but this method,
When there was someone in the front seat, it had little effect. C. There is a method using a TV camera and a receiver, but it is expensive compared to convenience.

[0003]

When sitting in the rear seat of a passenger car and trying to view the scenery ahead, the headrest and the head of the person in the front seat were obstructed and could not be seen sufficiently. Therefore, those who sit in the backseat have been inconvenienced by halving the enjoyment of the drive or leaning back to give directions. Particularly in the rear seats, the elderly, children and important persons often sit, and this inconvenience is a problem. It is an object of the present invention how to make it possible to fully view the scenery ahead while sitting in the rear seat.

[0004]

Next, the means I invented to solve this problem will be described with reference to the drawings. I. First, an L-shaped light path cavity (7) is provided in the headless (4) as a light path, which passes from the upper part to the rear part. B. The upper mirror (1) is attached above the headrest (4). The upper mirror (1) is mounted to be inclined forward by about 45 degrees in order to reflect light from the front of the vehicle downward. C. Light path cavity (7) inside the headrest (4)
Attach the lower mirror (2) to the bottom of the. The lower mirror (2)
In order to reflect the light from above reflected from the upper mirror (1) backward, it is attached rearward, about 45 degrees, with its back up. D. The scene in front of the vehicle is transmitted to the rear by the reflection of the upper mirror (1) and the lower mirror (2).
You can see the scenery in front of you. E. The support rod (3) of the upper mirror can move up and down in the support hole (8), so that the view scene can be adjusted. When this device is not used, the upper mirror (1) can be retracted and stored in the upper part of the headrest (4). F. The support shaft (6) supports the upper mirror (1) and the lower mirror (2), and at the same time, makes it possible to adjust the tilt angle of the mirror surface.

[0005]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS By giving the mirror surfaces of the upper mirror (1) and the lower mirror (2) a curvature, the range of the view scenery can be designed. B. It is also conceivable to lower the position of the lower mirror (2) to the level of the child's eyes by providing a cavity in the back of the seat following the headrest (4) as a light path. C. A structure in which the upper mirror (1) is attached to the inside of the ceiling of the vehicle without being supported by the support rod (3) is also conceivable. D. The upper mirror (1) is installed at a higher position than the roof by providing a light passage by making the roof of the vehicle like a sunroof.
It is also conceivable to attach. E. It is also conceivable to use a prism instead of a mirror. F. In the present invention, a structure in which a light passage is provided in the headrest is used as a basic model, because it is determined that the headrest is superior in terms of safety and convenience of storage. However, it is conceivable that the front scenery view device according to the present invention is commercialized as a detachable single device having a structure in which the front view device is attached to the rear portion of the headrest without being incorporated in the headrest.

[0006]

According to the present invention, the structure is simple and the material is inexpensive. Therefore, it can be supplied to the market as a low-priced product. An advantage of the present invention is to significantly improve the front view of a person sitting in the rear seat of a passenger car. The present invention has the effect of increasing the pleasure of driving, and can therefore be expected to have the economic effect of increasing the willingness to purchase a car.
