[Industrial applications]

 TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to an anti-glare fender mirror device provided in an upper part inside a windshield of an automobile.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 When a car is driving at night, the driving lights of the car running behind may enter the fender mirror and may be difficult to drive.

Therefore, a relatively expensive automobile is equipped with an anti-glare fender mirror.

This structure will be schematically described with reference to FIGS. 5 and 6, with respect to the holding arm 2 fixed to the vehicle body 1, the spherical concave portion of the case rocking body 3 is fitted to the spherical portion at the tip thereof. ..

Reference numeral 4 denotes a case, and a non-parallel mirror 5 having a uniform taper at the upper portion and a thin portion at the lower portion is arranged in the opening edge portion. The back surface of the mirror 5 is a mirror surface. Further, an angle operation shaft 6 having some flexibility is pivotally supported on the case 4 at the lower part of the case rocking body 3 (not shown). An operation photograph 6A is integrated with a part of the angle operation shaft 6, and a locking portion 6a at the center of the angle operation shaft 6 is locked in a recess of the case rocking body 3. Reference numeral 7 denotes a support shaft of the case rocking body 3 for the case 4.

In this structure, when the operation photograph 6A is pulled forward (F direction in FIG. 5) or pushed backward (B direction in FIG. 5), the locking portion 6a engages the concave portion of the case rocking body 3. While stopping, this is used as a seat, and the center O ₀ of the angle operation shaft 6 is moved to the position of O ₂ or the position of O ₁ . At this time, since the angle operation shaft 6 conversely holds the case 4, the case 4 is rotated around the support shaft 7 either forward or backward.

With this, by changing the angles of the case 4 and the mirror 4 back and forth, it is possible to select a reflection form of reflection on the mirror surface or reflection on the glass surface, thereby releasing the glare.

[0008]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 The mirror 5 in this case is a non-parallel mirror. However, when manufacturing the non-parallel mirror 5, it is necessary to grind a thick glass in a non-parallel manner, which is extremely expensive.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a structure capable of inexpensively manufacturing an antiglare mirror.

[0010]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The above problem is related to an antiglare mirror installed on the upper part inside the windshield of an automobile, in which the outer glass and the inner mirror are arranged non-parallel to each other in the case, and the glass and the mirror have their surfaces. And it is possible to solve it by making the back surface parallel.

Further, in this case, it is preferable that the other side portion of the mirror is swingable about the upper and lower one side portions of the mirror.

[0012]

[Action]

 The present invention uses parallel glass and parallel mirrors. Therefore, they are much cheaper to obtain than conventional non-parallel mirrors, which are significantly more expensive to machine. Further, since they are arranged non-parallel to each other, it is possible to select a reflection form of reflection on a mirror surface or reflection on a glass surface.

On the other hand, in the case, if the upper and lower side portions of the mirror are made swingable with respect to the other side portion, the antiglare operation can be performed only by the movement of the mirror.

[0014]

EXAMPLES The present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the examples shown in FIGS.

First, FIG. 1 shows a first embodiment of a fixed type. In an anti-glare mirror arranged in an upper part inside a windshield of an automobile, a flat plate positioned outside a case 10 is provided. The glass 11 and the parallel mirror 12 located inside are arranged in a non-parallel manner, for example, with a downward spread. This mirror device X can be held by the holding arm 2 by the spherical bearing method by itself, or can be housed in the case 4 so that the same anti-glare operation as in the conventional case can be performed. Good.

2 to 4 show a movable mirror device Y according to a second embodiment. A parallel glass 31 located outside the case 30 and a parallel mirror 32 located inside the case 30. When and are made non-parallel, the upper part of the mirror 32 is pivotally supported by the rotating shaft 33 with respect to the case 30, and the operation photograph 34 is provided at the lower part.

Further, the case 30 is made of, for example, a plastic, and a window is opened in the lower portion of the operation photograph 34, and an opening width of the opening edge 30 A of the window is smaller than that of the operation photograph 34. A convex portion so as to be extremely narrow and a concave portion so that the opening width is wider than the width of the operation photograph 34 are intermittently formed at the opposite edges, and the operation photograph 34 is positioned between the concave portions. When this is done, it is blocked by the front and rear projections, which prevents forward and backward movement due to normal vehicle vibrations, etc., so that positioning is performed accordingly. In the example shown in the figure, four positions can be determined. It may be two places before and after.

On the other hand, FIG. 3 shows only the lowermost concave portion 30a and the adjacent convex portion 30b of FIG. 4, for example, and the upper portion (in FIG. 4) of the convex portion 30b is used for wide opening. Then, the rotary shaft 33 is pivotally supported between the bearing portions 30B and 30B of the case 30, a part of the holding frame 35 of the mirror 32 is fitted to the rotary shaft 33, and the rotary shaft 33 further includes coil springs 36 and 36. Is wound, one end of which is locked to the bearing portion 30B and the other end of which is locked to the holding frame 35. Therefore, when the engagement is disengaged from the concave portion 30a over the adjacent convex portion 30b, the rearward biasing force of the coil springs 36, 36 causes the mirror 32 to tilt rearward. On the contrary, in the case of pulling toward the front, the operation photograph 34 may be pulled toward the front so as to overcome the biasing force of the coil springs 36, 36.

In each of the above-mentioned examples, the glass 31 and the mirror 32 are designed to expand downward, but conversely, they may be expanded upward. The mirror device Y of the second embodiment can be held by the holding arm 2 by the spherical bearing method by itself, or can be housed in the case 4 described above to perform the same antiglare operation as the conventional one. You may let it be done.

The glass 31 may be a plurality of pieces, and may be colored glass or the like in order to enhance the design effect or the antiglare effect.

[0021]

[Effect of the device]

 As described above, according to the present invention, the anti-glare fender mirror can be manufactured at low cost and can be structurally simple.
