Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to an improved rear endoscope mainly used in freight cars, passenger cars, etc.

In vehicles such as freight cars, where the external shape of the vehicle body is not as important as in passenger cars, and where emphasis is placed on functionality, rear end mirrors are used despite their considerable importance for driving. Since it is an accessory device, its functionality is the main focus, and it is also required to be economical, so it has a very ordinary design in general, and when installing it, it requires a support bracket at the center of the back of the rear scope. It is constructed to ensure safety by attaching the support arm to the vehicle body, and of course the support arm has to be installed with the support arm extending significantly outward from the vehicle body, and in order to satisfy this requirement within the legal regulations of the vehicle, the external shape of the vehicle sometimes becomes unbalanced. It is easy to overlook the influence that the configuration of the rearview mirror has on the entire vehicle, such as the resulting poor design.

The present invention was made in view of such a situation, and is formed integrally with the main body of the rear scope so that the arm protrudes laterally.
The tip of this arm is attached so that it can be displaced by applying a predetermined amount of external force in any direction to the rear scope support bar, so that it can be moved close to the side of the vehicle body without impairing the ability to freely adjust the position of the rear scope. It is designed to be able to be supported at any position, to create an elegant shape with a simple structure, and to enhance the aesthetic effect, and to enhance the aesthetic effect not only of the rear endoscope itself but also of the vehicle as a whole.

Hereinafter, one embodiment of the rear endoscope of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

First, what is shown in FIG. 1 is a case where it is adopted as a rectangular rear scope, and the rear scope 100 main body 1 is made of synthetic resin and has an arbitrary shape that gives off an aesthetic appearance as a whole. −
An arm 2 is integrally provided on the side with an appropriate length and is provided with rigidity capable of withstanding the rear scope itself or an external force acting on it, and the tip of this arm 2 is swingable with respect to a support 30. For mounting with a holding piece 15 inside that can be held in place, use the gripping piece 2.
0 were connected and installed.

The mechanism of attachment to the support 30 provided at the tip of the arm 2 is as shown in FIGS. 2 to 4.
An annular holding piece 15 made of a synthetic resin with high lubricity and having a part cut out 16 and an outer periphery 15' formed as a part of a spherical surface so that it can be fitted at any position on the outer periphery of the pipe forming the support 30. and has a spherical concave curved surface 3 at the tip of the arm 2 that comes into contact with a part of the holding piece 15, and a mirror 11 of the main body 1.
The mounting section 5 has trapezoidal concave notches 4, 4' formed symmetrically in the front and rear sides of the arm with slopes that widen toward the tip on the front and rear sides of the arm parallel to the plane, and the inner surface of the front half is attached to the holding receiving surface 23, which is a spherical concave curved surface. The arm 2 is formed into a U-shape which is fitted and engaged with the holding piece 15, and whose extending ends 21 and 22 are engaged with the respective concave notches 4 and 4' of the arm 2 and secured with the bolt 8. The attachment made of flexible hard synthetic resin consists of a gripping piece 20, and the holding piece 15 has two (or one) notches 17 of appropriate depth on the inner surface opposite to the incision 16. , support 3
This holding piece 15 is fitted into an appropriate position on the support 30, and the concave curved surface 3 at the tip of the arm 2 is brought into contact with the holding piece 15, and is opposed to this. To install from the opposite side, fit the gripping piece 20 into the holding piece 15 and engage both ends 21 and 22 with the recessed parts 4 and 4' of the arm 2. , 22 sandwich the tip of the arm 2, and a bolt 8 passing through the bolt hole 6 drilled in the arm 2 from the bolt hole 24 of the one end 21 is embedded in the grip piece 20 and the other end 22. Screw the retaining piece 15 onto the arm 2 and tighten it.
The mounting having a concave curved end surface 3 and a holding receiving surface 23 having a spherical concave curve is movably clamped with a gripping piece 20, and the holding piece 15 holds its inner surface 15'' of the support 30 by external clamping pressure. The arm 2 is fixed to the outer circumferential surface and is attached to the holding piece 15 by a gripping piece 20 that holds the spherical circumferential surface of the holding piece 15 and a portion 5 that attaches the tip.
The rear endoscope main body 1 is supported by the support 30 via the support 30.

As shown in FIG. 3, one of the recessed recesses 4 and 4' at the tip of the arm 2 is provided with a notch 7 having an acute angle and an inclined surface 7' on the base side of the arm. To attach the holding piece 20 to this, a protrusion having the same angle as the notch 7 on the arm side is provided on the inner end of the end 22 of the gripping piece 20, and by engaging the two and tightening the bolt 8, the holding piece 1
At the same time as fixing 5 and support 30, attaching grip piece 20
The clamping force of the holding piece 15 is adjusted by the holding piece 15.

According to the present invention configured in this way, the support 30 is provided close to the vehicle body so that the rear endoscope 10 can be installed in the vehicle width restriction valve as described above, and the support 30 is provided close to the vehicle body.
On the other hand, the holding piece 15 has a part thereof cut out, and a notch 17 provided at an inner position opposite to this cutout part 16 serves as a hinge, so it can be easily fitted and can be attached to the concave curved surface 3 for attachment and grip. By clamping and fastening the holding piece 15 with the piece 20, the holding piece 15 is fixed to the support 30 at a required position with the inner surface in close contact with the concave curved surface 3 of the arm 2 and the receiving surface 2 of the mounting gripping piece 20.
3 slides onto the spherical curved surface 15' of the holding piece, and the rear endoscope 10 is held at the set position via the arm 2 by the frictional resistance of both contact surfaces open unless the rear endoscope 10 is moved by an external force.

This frictional force is caused by the fastening force of one bolt 8 and nut 26, and the end 2 of the mounting gripping piece 20 is applied to the notch 7 of the arm 2.
By deeply engaging the two inclined protrusions 25, the holding force can be adjusted.

By doing this, when adjusting the clear viewing angle of the mirror, you can hold one part of the main body and freely move it along the spherical surface of the holding part, regardless of whether it is tilted forward or backward, up or down, or whether the mirror surface is tilted up or down. This makes handling extremely easy.

Of course, when an abnormal external force is applied directly to the rear scope, the entire holding part will rotate within an allowable range, and the rear scope will not be damaged, and the rear scope will not be damaged by objects that come into contact with it. will not cause any hindrance.

Further, the arm and the holding piece are integrated by the engagement of the end of the gripping piece with the recessed notch and will not loosen.

Furthermore, regarding the configuration, as explained in the above embodiment,
Since the rear scope and its support arm are integrally formed and attached to the support on the side of the main body, it is possible to give the main body a desired shape or pattern. Therefore, by making the shape elegant or original and adding various patterns to it, it has become possible to obtain a rear endoscope that is more beautiful and functional than conventional products.

Therefore, the external shape of the main body of the rear scope is not limited to the shape shown in the above embodiment, but may be any shape that can be molded from synthetic resin and has the function of a rear scope. There is no doubt that it can be applied to

Further, the outer shape of the arm and the mounting part can be made into any shape as required, as long as it has the above-mentioned functions.

Note that the rear endoscope according to the present invention is not meant to include a rear mirror for an automobile such as an under mirror.
