後方視界を得ることができる。A rear visual recognition device 8 is arranged on the door 5,
The rear visual recognition device 8 includes a housing 9, prisms 10 and 11 that are refracting members, and a mirror 12 that is a reflecting member. As shown in FIG. 1, only the outer portion 9a of the housing 9 is exposed to the outside of the side window 6, and the prism 10 is attached to the opening 9b formed in the outer portion 9a as shown in FIG. Further, an opening 9c is formed on the vehicle interior side of the housing 9, and the prism 11 is attached to the opening 9c. Front part 9d of housing 9
The mirror 12 is fixedly installed on the inner surface side of the mirror 1.
2, the upper surface 9 of the prisms 10 and 11 and the housing 9
e, a space S is formed inside the rear visual recognition device 8 at the lower surface 9f. As is apparent from FIG. 2, the prism 10 is arranged outside the mirror 12, and the prism 11 is arranged inside the mirror 12, so that the rear view is first refracted by the prism 10 and the refracted rear portion is reflected. The field of view is reflected by the mirror 12 toward the prism 11 side, is refracted in the direction opposite to the prism 10 by the prism 11, and is reflected by the driver's eyes. In the rear visual recognition device 8 having such a structure, the door 5 of the device is
It is possible to obtain a sufficient rear field of view while extremely reducing the amount of protrusion from the outside.
