Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention applies luminous paint to the periphery of the back side of the rearview mirror that protrudes from the front fender of automobiles, trains, etc. from the front side to both left and right sides, and fluorescent paint to the center. By applying these paints to a specific color depending on the width of the vehicle or the type of vehicle, the driver of an oncoming vehicle or oncoming pedestrian can easily see the position of the rearview mirror during the day and at night. To provide a vehicle that can be clearly seen and easily judge the outermost position and maximum width of a vehicle such as a car coming toward one, thereby further improving the safety and convenience of road traffic.

Rearview mirrors installed on the outside front side of a vehicle such as a car are usually located on the outermost sides of the left and right sides of the vehicle because they are used by the driver to view the rear side from his or her seat. .

Moreover, the back side of the rearview mirror is left in a plain color such as gray or black, making it difficult to attract the attention of oncoming drivers or oncoming pedestrians.

Therefore, when vehicles pass each other or when a pedestrian passes by the side of a vehicle, the rearview mirrors often cause collisions and other accidents.

In addition, some rearview mirrors are equipped with a light reflector on the backside, which receives light from the outside and reflects the light, thereby informing oncoming drivers of the position of the rearview mirror. However, since there is no reflection of light if it does not receive light from the outside, it is not possible to notify oncoming pedestrians of its location on country roads at night, and it is unsatisfactory in preventing collisions. It belonged to

The present invention uses a simple special process on the back side of the rearview mirror, which tends to cause collisions, so that oncoming pedestrians, vehicles, etc. This invention further improves the safety and convenience of road traffic by making it extremely easy to tell the outermost position of the vehicle, the type of vehicle, etc.

The present invention will be explained based on the drawings showing the embodiments of the present invention.
: For the rearview mirror 1 disposed at the outermost part of the left and right sides of the vehicle 6, a luminous paint is applied to the peripheral edge 3 of the rear surface 2 of the mirror, as shown in detail in FIG. 2. At the same time, the central part 4 is coated with fluorescent paint in colors that easily attract people's attention, such as yellow and red, and during the daytime, the fluorescent paint occupies a wide area, almost the entire surface of the back side, with high brightness colors. This makes it possible to clearly indicate the presence of the rearview mirror 1 to oncoming cars and oncoming pedestrians even from a distance, and at night when there is no external light, the large ring-shaped luminescence from the luminous paint makes it easy for oncoming pedestrians to see the presence of the rearview mirror 1. While making it possible to clearly identify the peripheral edge position of the rearview mirror 1 to cars and oncoming pedestrians even from a distance, the color of the paint can be changed, for example, yellow or blue, depending on the width of the vehicle 6 or the type of vehicle. By specifying something specific,
You can easily judge the size of an oncoming vehicle from a distance, or at night or in a place where it is difficult to see, just by looking at the color from the back of the rearview mirror, making it easier to prepare in advance when two vehicles are passing each other on a narrow road. It was made so that it would become so.

As described above, according to the present invention, the driver of an oncoming car or an oncoming pedestrian can clearly see the rearview mirror 1 from a distance, day or night, and also the location of the outer side of the left and right panels of the vehicle 6 and the type of vehicle. As it becomes possible to easily recognize and take the necessary precautions, collision accidents between vehicles or between vehicles and people can be significantly reduced, and the convenience of road operation can be greatly improved. becomes.

Furthermore, as mentioned above, applying fluorescent paint to the back of the mirror only uses the back, which normally does not play a protective role, so it does not interfere with the function of the rearview mirror itself. Moreover, the cost is trivial and it can be easily manufactured.

Furthermore, if necessary, it is also possible to adopt a method of attaching a light-emitting device such as an electric light that emits a specific color to the mirror back surface 2 as appropriate, in order to make the mirror back surface 2 more visible especially at night, even at a slight increase in cost. Of course you can get it.
