JPH08268167A - Bonnet dead angle mirror - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE: To confirm the area from the left front end to the front lower side of a driver seat while sitting on the driver seat, so as to start safely, by fixing a bonnect by holding the left end of the bonnet of a door mirror can by a metal fitting, and providing a support column bent to direct a convex mirror and its mirror surface to the right lower side. CONSTITUTION: A bonnet dead angle mirror is composed of a metal fitting to hold the left end of a bonnet and to fix through a screw; and a support column bent to direct a convex mirror and its mirror surface to the right lower side; while the direction of the mirror surface is made possible to regulate minutely. The metal fitting is made same as the metal fitting to fix the antenna of an antomobile telephone to a trunk lid. The quality of the meterial may be made same as the conventional fender mirror as far as it gives no danger by contacting to a walker and the like. When the support column is installed from the time of manufacturing the automobile, it may be installed by a bolt and the like to not only the left end of the bonnet, but also to the left fender.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an invention of a blind spot confirmation mirror on the left front end of a vehicle and on the lower front side of a driver's seat.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A right-hand drive vehicle will be described. The right front end and the right rear end of the car can be seen directly from the driver's seat if you show your face through the window, while the left front end is difficult to check even for a skilled driver, especially when parallel parking, You may get out of the driver's seat to check, or you may need to switch back more than necessary. In addition, in recent passenger cars, the hood is tilted forward and the tip is not visible, and from the viewpoint of space efficiency, the number of so-called Nimivan type wagon cars with a high driver's seat perspective and a short bonnet is increasing. Has a large blind spot, making it difficult to check for obstacles in front of the driver's seat. In fact, many cars have damaged the front left end of the front bumper. In order to solve the blind spot in the front left of the automobile, there have been the followings in the past. (A) A corner pole and a fan marker attached to the left front end of the car (b) An ultrasonic sensor attached to the bumper (c) A convex mirror installed below the left outside mirror of a large truck, etc., in front of the driver's seat Things that can be seen from below (D) A mirror that is attached to a fender such as a four-wheel drive vehicle to check the left front wheel to the left

[0003]

However, the above (a)
(B), (c), and (d) also have the following drawbacks. (B) The positional relationship between the corner poles and the markers and the obstacles cannot be visually confirmed, and the driver's intuition is unavoidable. In addition, it is often invisible from the driver's seat even if it is installed on a wagon car with a short hood. (B) The installation is complicated, it may malfunction, and it is expensive. (C) You can visually confirm from the left front end of your vehicle to the lower front of the driver's seat, but it is difficult to install so-called door mirrors in mainstream passenger cars, and it is necessary to install it in a place of 1.8 meters or less by road transportation vehicle Strict safety is required by the safety standards of the law. (D) There is no effect on the blind spot in the front left corner of the vehicle and the lower front of the driver's seat, and it is unlikely to be necessary if you get a feel for the width of the vehicle. The present invention has been made to solve the above drawbacks.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a pillar with a convex mirror that can confirm the front lower part of the driver's seat from the left front end of the vehicle and a hood of the bonnet so that it can be easily mounted on any vehicle The left end is sandwiched and the metal fittings that are fixed with screws are combined. The present invention has the above configuration.

[0005]

[Action] The left end of the bonnet is sandwiched and fixed with screws,
By adjusting the direction of the convex mirror, you can see from the left front end of the vehicle to the front lower part of the driver's seat while sitting in the driver's seat.

[0006]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below. A metal fitting that fixes the left end of the bonnet with screws and a convex mirror,
Also, the mirror surface is constituted by a pillar bent so as to face the lower right, and the direction of the mirror surface can be finely adjusted. The metal fittings are the same as those for fixing the car telephone antenna to the trunk lid. The material may be the same as that of a conventional fender mirror as long as it does not come into contact with a pedestrian or the like and is not dangerous. When the automobile is attached from the time of manufacture, it may be attached to the left fender as well as the left end of the bonnet with a bolt or the like as in the conventional fender mirror. For cars with left-hand drive, the same effect can be obtained by mounting it on the right end of the hood.

[0007]

EFFECTS OF THE INVENTION In a wagon car or the like having a short bonnet and a high driver's seat, a child or the like in front of the car is hidden behind the dashboard or the bonnet, but this mirror enables a safe start. In addition, the positional relationship between the left front end of the vehicle and the obstacle is well understood, and it is not necessary to turn the steering wheel more than necessary. Furthermore, in the case of a car with a long bonnet such as a sedan, the same effect can be obtained by mounting it near the left front end of the bonnet, and even cars without a bonnet can be easily installed without making holes in the body of almost all cars Is possible. If the field of view of the mirror is further expanded, the left front wheel can be confirmed to the left.
