Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a mirror which allows the confirmation of a specific blind spot and prevents the impairment of the appearance thereof by solving a problem that a specific blind spot cannot be confirmed due to the restriction of a mirror mounting position which results from the priority given to the appearance in an automobile or the like. <P>SOLUTION: A mirror which is faced to a rear-view mirror for checking the rear side and which has a size preventing the impairment of the appearance is used as a combination mirror, allowing a forward blind spot to be also projected in the rear-view mirror. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT

Description

この発明は、車等のバックミラーに関するものである。 The present invention relates to a rearview mirror such as a car.

車の場合、従来は、側面前方等の死角部分を確認するには広角面を持つミラーが使われた。
又、乗用車では電波等を利用し障害物との間隔を警告音で確認するものもあり、カメラでモニターに映し出すものもある。In the case of a car, conventionally, a mirror with a wide angle surface was used to check a blind spot such as a front side.
Some passenger cars use radio waves, etc., to check the distance from obstacles with a warning sound, and others use a camera to display them on a monitor.

これは次のような欠点があった。
（イ）車の美観を重要視する乗用車は、一般的に、前方付近には突起物としてのミラーは設置しない。その為、狭い道路での通行や車庫入れは不便であった。
又、美観を無視して装着した場合でも、ミラーは車幅の制限を受けるので、必然的に視点も車幅より内側になり、その鏡面は広角と成らざるを得ず、その像は著しく湾曲し、見辛いものであった。
（ロ）電波等を利用し間隔を計測するものは、路面情況の把握は無理であるし、カメラによるものはモニターをそのつど作動させねばならず、高価で故障も多かった。
本発明は、以上のような欠点をなくす為になされたものである。This has the following drawbacks.
(B) In general, a passenger car that places importance on the aesthetics of a car does not have a mirror as a protrusion in the vicinity of the front. For this reason, it was inconvenient to travel on narrow roads and to enter the garage.
Even if the lens is worn with ignoring aesthetics, the mirror is limited by the vehicle width, so the viewpoint is inevitably inside the vehicle width, the mirror surface must be wide, and the image is extremely curved. And it was hard to see.
(B) In the case of measuring the interval using radio waves etc., it is impossible to grasp the road surface condition, and in the case of using the camera, the monitor had to be operated each time, and it was expensive and there were many failures.
The present invention has been made to eliminate the above drawbacks.

後方確認のバックミラー（１）の映像の一部に、適度に離して対面させた小鏡（２）の合わせ鏡としての前方映像を映し込ませた。 A front image as a mirror of the small mirror (2) facing away from each other was projected on a part of the image of the rearview mirror (1).

（イ）合わせ鏡とすることで、鏡の反転映像が再度反転し、通常の視覚で映像を確認可能である。
（ロ）視点が車幅の外となるため、鏡面は著しい湾曲面を必要とせず、その像も容易に確認できる。
（ハ）二枚の鏡面それぞれに、特定の位置として印しを付ければ、見通せる二つの印し（Ａ）（Ｂ）の重なった位置が車の先端位置等の特定の場所（Ｃ）となる。すなわち、勘に頼っていた車の先端部等の見えない位置も、印しを通して路面に確認可能である。
（ニ）小鏡（２）の背面にもミラーを設置可能なので広角の後方確認が可能となる。(A) By using a mirror for reversing, the inverted image of the mirror is inverted again, and the image can be confirmed with normal vision.
(B) Since the viewpoint is outside the vehicle width, the mirror surface does not need a marked curved surface, and the image can be easily confirmed.
(C) If each of the two mirror surfaces is marked as a specific position, the position where the two marks (A) and (B) that can be seen overlap will be a specific location (C) such as the tip position of the car. . That is, an invisible position such as the front end of a car that relies on intuition can be confirmed on the road surface through the mark.
(D) Since a mirror can also be installed on the back of the small mirror (2), it is possible to confirm a wide-angle rear side.

以下、本発明を実施する為の最良の形態について説明する。
バックミラー面（１）に対面させた小鏡（２）の角度を、前方の死角部分の映像が（１）の鏡面に映り込むよう調整する。
小鏡（２）の位置と大きさは、バックミラー（１）の主たる後方映像を妨げないものとする。
バックミラー（１）は、車の側面から突出しているので風圧を受けるが、合わせ鏡の小鏡（２）は風圧の背面に位置するので薄い形状も可能となる。その為、その設定は固定するばかりでなく、バックミラーの外枠内に遠隔操作で収納する形態も可能であり、車のデザインの多様性に対応可能である。
小鏡（２）の背面もミラーを設置可能である。
本発明は、以上のような構造である。Hereinafter, the best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described.
The angle of the small mirror (2) facing the rearview mirror surface (1) is adjusted so that the image of the front blind spot is reflected on the mirror surface of (1).
The position and size of the small mirror (2) do not interfere with the main rear image of the rearview mirror (1).
Since the rearview mirror (1) protrudes from the side surface of the vehicle, it receives wind pressure. However, the small mirror (2) of the matching mirror is located on the back side of the wind pressure, so that a thin shape is possible. Therefore, the setting is not only fixed, but also can be stored in the outer frame of the rearview mirror by remote control, which can cope with a variety of car designs.
A mirror can also be installed on the back of the small mirror (2).
The present invention has the above structure.
