Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve a problem wherein the following vehicle approaching just lateral to the own vehicle is hardly confirmed only by a present rearview mirror and a side door mirror, since a visual recognition angle exists in only a rear side in the rearview mirror and it exists in considerably rear sides of left and right sides in the side door mirror, the following vehicle approaching just lateral to the own vehicle is brought in a dead angle of the side door mirror and cannot be frequently confirmed, since a visual field particularly becomes narrow when traveling on highway, the circumstance becomes more conspicuous and therefore, in the case of change of traffic lane on the highway, cause of a contact accident with the other person's vehicle and rear-end collision accident because a time for confirmation of both sides is required and a caution to the front side becomes neglectful is formed. <P>SOLUTION: The mirror is installed on an upper center of a front instrument panel of a passenger car. In the constitution of the mirror, splitting left and right sides are moved like a butterfly respectively and adjustment of angle can be carried out to a position where a driver easily watches at the height of driver's glance. As a result, confirmation of the following vehicle approaching just lateral to the own vehicle can be easily carried out without deviating the driver's eyes from an advancement direction during traveling. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI

Description

この発明は乗用車の高速走行時において、車線変更の安全運転を高めるミラーに関する。The present invention relates to a mirror that enhances safe driving for changing lanes when a passenger car is traveling at high speed.

乗用車の高速走行時は、視界視野が狭くなるため、When the passenger car is traveling at high speed, the field of view is narrow,

FIG.

に示すように、すぐ横に接近している後方車を、現状のサイドドアミラーは死角角度に入り確認が不十分である。As shown in Fig. 5, the current side door mirror is in a blind spot and the confirmation is insufficient for the rear vehicle approaching to the side.

現状のサイドドアミラーでは高速走行時では視界視野が狭くなるため、すぐ横に接近している後方車が死角になり、車線変更する際に危険をともなった。
この発明はその状況を回避することを課題とするミラーである。The current side door mirror has a narrow field of view when driving at high speeds, so the rear vehicle approaching to the side becomes a blind spot, causing danger when changing lanes.
This invention is a mirror which makes it a subject to avoid the situation.

以上の課題を解決するために、第一発明は乗用車のフロントインパネ上部にミラーを設置することを特徴とするものである。
また、第二発明は乗用車のフロントインパネ上部に、半割りのミラーがそれぞれ左右にバタフライの様に動き、運転者の視点の高さによる見易さに角度調整ができるを特徴とするミラーである。In order to solve the above problems, the first invention is characterized in that a mirror is installed on the upper front panel of a passenger car.
In addition, the second invention is a mirror characterized in that a half mirror moves to the left and right like a butterfly on the front instrument panel of a passenger car, and the angle can be adjusted depending on the height of the driver's viewpoint. .

第一発明、または第二発明によれば乗用車の高速走行時において、乗用車フロントインパネ上部に設置するため、走行方向から眼を逸らさず、すぐ横に接近している後方車を容易に確認ができ、安全に車線変更がしやすくなる。According to the first invention or the second invention, when the passenger car is traveling at high speed, it is installed at the upper part of the front instrument panel of the passenger car. This makes it easier to change lanes safely.

この本体１は強化プラスチック製で、半割りのミラー２は平面鏡で車間の距離感も掴み易く、回転部３で左右にバタフライの様に動き、運転者の視点の高さによる見易さに併せて回転部４で上下に角度調整ができる。
そして台座５で両面接着でフロントインパネ上部中央に設置するものである。
（他の実施形態）Shown in
The main body 1 is made of reinforced plastic, and the half mirror 2 is a plane mirror that makes it easy to grasp the distance between the vehicles. It moves like a butterfly to the left and right at the rotating part 3 and is easy to see depending on the height of the driver's viewpoint. Thus, the angle can be adjusted up and down by the rotating unit 4.
The pedestal 5 is installed at the upper center of the front instrument panel by double-sided bonding.

この発明は乗用車の高速走行時等において、車線変更の安全運転性を高めるミラーに関する。The present invention in high-speed running or the like of a passenger car, on mirror to increase the driving safety of the lane change.

乗用車の高速走行時等は、視界視野が狭くなるため、High-speed driving at the time, such as passenger cars, because the field of vision field of vision is narrowed,

FIG.

に示すように、すぐ横に接近している後方車が、現状のサイドドアミラーでは死角角度に入り確認が不十分である。As shown in Fig. 4, the rear vehicle approaching to the side immediately enters the blind spot angle with the current side door mirror , and the confirmation is insufficient.

現状のサイドドアミラーでは高速走行時等では視界視野が狭くなるため、すぐ横に接近している後方車が死角になり、車線変更する際に危険をともなった。この発明はその状況を回避することを目的としたミラーである。Since the view field of view in high-speed running or the like becomes narrow in the current state of the side door mirror, the rear vehicle is approaching immediately next to become blind, was accompanied by a danger when you change lanes. The present invention is a mirror intended to avoid such a situation.

以上の課題を解決するために、第一発明は乗用車のフロントインパネ上部にミラーを設置することを特徴とするものである。
また、第二発明は乗用車のフロントインパネ上部に設置した半割りのミラーがそれぞれ左右にバタフライの様に動き、運転者の視点の高さによる見易さに角度調整ができることを特徴とするミラーである。In order to solve the above problems, the first invention is characterized in that a mirror is installed on the upper front panel of a passenger car.
Further, the second invention is characterized in that the half mirrors installed on the upper front panel of the passenger car move like a butterfly to the left and right, respectively, and the angle can be adjusted according to the visibility of the driver's viewpoint. It is.

第一発明、および第二発明により、乗用車の高速走行時等において、運転者は走行方向から眼を逸らさず、すぐ横に接近している後方車が容易に確認ができるため、安全に車線変更ができるようになる。 More first invention and the second invention, in the high-speed running or the like of the passenger car, because the driver does not divert the eye from the traveling direction, the rear vehicle is approaching immediately next to it can be easily confirmed, safely lane You can change it.
