Many of the conventional accessory cases that are attached to the car are provided near the driver's seat, etc., and it is inconvenient because things are put in and out while driving, so there is a high risk of sideways driving when putting in and out . It is an object of the present invention to provide a device that allows the rearview mirror to be effectively viewed while gazing ahead while driving, and which allows easy insertion and removal of highway cards, glasses, etc. while confirming the front safety. .

[0004]

In order to achieve the above object, in the rearview mirror with accessory case of the present invention, a storage box for the accessory case is attached to the rear side of the rearview mirror, and a dash panel (dashboard under the window is installed. ) It is installed in the center. As for the installation position of the above-mentioned mirror, the driver can effectively see the mirror while gazing ahead while driving. You will never be neglected. As for the mirror, in addition to a plane mirror that captures a realistic rear image, a curved surface mirror can display a wider range of rear information. As for the storage / removal of small items, since the storage box is located in front of the driver, the storage / removal of the small items is possible in the state of gazing forward. In addition, the accessory case is a horizontally elongated box that opens upwards to make it easy to put in and take out while driving, and separates storage places for glasses and cards, and cards etc. can be sandwiched in color-coded clear files and taken out together with files. Characterize. The present invention relates to a rearview mirror with an accessory case configured as described above.

[0005]

[Function] The rearview mirror with the accessory case is installed in the center of the dash panel (the position where the rear is often seen by the driver because the form of the dash panel differs depending on the car model), so while looking at the front, Through this, the rear can be continuously confirmed. Small items can be easily put in and taken out while paying attention to the front side even while driving.

[0006]

An embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings. In FIGS. 1 to 3, the storage box is opened in a horizontally long shape and divided into glasses and a card, and a clear file (1) can be stored for the card. A mirror (here, a curved mirror (2)) is attached to the box, and the box is fixed (by an adhesive or the like) to the dash panel by a holder (3) attached to the bottom center of the box. The connection part (4) between the bottom of the box and the holder has flexibility (pivot), and the direction of the mirror can be adjusted by tilting the box back and forth and left and right.

[0007]

Since the present invention is constructed as described above, it has the following effects. Since the storage box is located in front of the driver, it is possible to easily take in and out the glasses and the highway card while watching the front while checking the safety while driving. Cards, etc. are stored in a clear file that is color-coded to prevent confusion when putting them in and out. Since the mirror is located at a low position in the front, it is not necessary to look up at the upper part as in the conventional case, and it is possible to continuously check the rear through the mirror while gazing at the front. In particular, for an elderly driver whose visual function is deteriorated, he / she can easily confirm the rear while looking forward without looking up as in the case of the conventional mirror, which can also contribute to the prevention of accidents.
