JPH0639585U - Rearview mirror for better visibility - Google Patents

Abstract

(57) [Abstract] [Purpose] This invention is a rearview mirror that improves the visibility of the driver by fixing the mirror part of the rearview mirror at a position displaced from the center of the windshield toward the passenger side. It is about. [Structure] A fixed rod 1 is attached to a mirror 2 having a wide width, and the fixed rod 1 is fixed to a vehicle.

Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 This invention was made to reduce the number of traffic accidents due to blind spots in the rearview mirror.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 In the conventional rearview mirror, the mirror part was fixed at the center position of the windshield, so only a small mirror could be attached so as not to obstruct the driver's forward vision. Therefore, a large blind spot was created in the rear, which was very dangerous. Recently, a wide rearview mirror for retrofitting has been released, and the rear visibility has improved considerably, but since the mirror is fixed at the center position of the windshield, half of the mirror is a driver. It is protruding to the front of the vehicle, and this time the visibility of the front is deteriorated.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 Each manufacturer cannot develop a rear-view mirror with a wide rear-view that does not deteriorate the front-view, and it is unavoidable that a small rear-view mirror is standard equipment. The present invention has been made to solve the problems of such manufacturers and reduce traffic accidents as much as possible.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 Now, its structure will be described. (A) A wide mirror 2 is attached to the fixed rod 1. (b) This fixed rod 1 is attached to the vehicle body. It is configured as described above.

[0005]

[Action]

 Since the wide mirror 2 attached to the fixed rod 1 does not protrude to the front of the driver, it has the effect of enlarging the rear view without obstructing the front view of the driver.

[0006]

【Example】

 In implementing this invention, the following method is also conceivable. (A) A method of moving the mounting position of the fixed rod 3 to the vehicle body to the passenger side. (B) A method of fixing the ends of the fixed rod 3 and the wide mirror 2 to each other. (C) A method of fixing the wide mirror 2 to the fixing rod 4. By moving the fixed position of the mirror toward the passenger seat and at the same time toward the ceiling, the forward field of view becomes better. In addition, the field of view will be wider by using a mirror with a curved surface instead of a wide one.

[0007]

[Effect of device]

 As a result, the driver's rear view can be expanded without obstructing the driver's front view, enabling safer driving.
