Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention mainly relates to the improvement of a rearview mirror attached to a bicycle.

Traditionally, rearview mirrors attached to bicycles have a relatively long stay made of metal, etc. that extends, a mounting bracket is fixed to the end of the stay for attaching to the bundle rod, and this is tightened to the bundle rod to attach the mirror. Generally, the mirror is attached and the angle is adjusted using a rotation mechanism provided on the back side of the mirror body.

Therefore, when a bicycle falls while riding or stopped, the impact is almost always applied directly to a part of the rearview mirror, causing damage such as damaging the mirror surface or bending a part of the stay. there were.

The present invention was created in view of the above circumstances, and its purpose is to use the impact force to move the mirror body freely even if the bicycle falls and the impact is applied to the mirror. The objective is to prevent damage to the rearview mirror by rotating the rearview mirror and mitigating the impact force.

The main structural features of the present invention are that a sphere is provided at the lower end of the stay of the rearview mirror, a recess for gripping the sphere, and a long groove for the stay that moves using the sphere as a fulcrum are provided in the holding body;
The grip is attached to the outer periphery of the bundle rod via the support and the tightening band.

To explain the embodiment in detail based on the drawings, reference numeral 1 denotes a rearview mirror, and the mirror is composed of a mirror surface portion 2, a stay 3, and a sphere 4 formed at the lower end of the stay 3.

The gripping body 5 portion that grips the sphere 4 has recesses 6, 6 facing each other to hold the sphere in order to grip the sphere 4 with good stability, and the long groove 7 of the stay 3 is provided around this recess. ing.

The size of the long groove 7 is not limited, but considering that the mirror is attached to the bundle rod and that the mirror can be moved freely in case the bicycle falls over, the length of the long groove 7 is limited to the outer circumference of the grip 5 The most preferred size is about half the size.

A screw 8 is inserted into the support body 9 at the center of the grip, and a tightening band 12 is screwed onto the tip of the screw to be screwed inside the support body.

The support body 9 is made of synthetic resin or the like, the receiver of the grip body has a surface 10 and a semicircular concave contact edge 11 that follows the curved surface of the bundle rod, and the tightening band 12 has both ends bent. These are stacked one on top of the other and a stepped nut 14 is fitted into a hole 13 drilled in the center.

Note that there are some structural differences depending on the materials molded into the rearview mirror 1 and the grip body 5.

For example, when the bottom mold is made of a synthetic resin material, it is convenient to mold the mirror part 2, stay 3, and sphere 4 into one piece for the rearview mirror, and the grip body 5 is placed at a distance from the center of the side periphery as shown in the figure. A pair of gripping body pieces 5□, 5° are cut into equal parts, and the recess 6 and the long groove 7 are arranged opposite each other, and the gripping body pieces 5□, 5□
For fitting, it is sufficient to provide positioning unevenness 15 and 16, and the gripping body piece 5° and the support body can also be formed into an integral bottom shape.

On the other hand, if the grip body is molded from an elastic material such as rubber, the grip body pieces 50 and 5° may be integrally molded.

The present invention has the above-mentioned structure. First, the tightening band 1 is
2 into the bundle rod, and with the screw 8 temporarily fastened to the nut 14 of the band, fit the mirror sphere 4 into the recesses 6, 6, and tighten the screw 8 to connect the support body and the tightening band. The support body 9 is pressed against the bundle rod by the tensile action, and the gripping body 5 is fixed on the outer periphery of the bundle rod, and the sphere 4 is also gripped in the recesses 6, 6.

The mirror gripped in this manner allows the stay 3 to be rotated 360 degrees by the spherical body 4 provided at the lower end of the stay and the recess 6 for gripping it, and furthermore, the stay 3 can be rotated 360 degrees by the long groove 7 of the stay 3.
This allows the mirror to be moved left and right, making it extremely easy to adjust the angle of the mirror even while driving.

Furthermore, even if a stopped bicycle falls while traveling and the impact is applied to the mirror, the mirror will be able to rotate 360 degrees from side to side and slide from side to side using the sphere 4 as a fulcrum. Therefore, it can move freely in the direction of the impact force,
Alleviate the impact force.

As described above, according to the present invention, the mirror body rotates around the stay 3 as an axis and is prevented from tilting by the sphere 4 provided in the mirror, the recess 6 provided in the grip 5, and the long groove 7 of the stay 3. This not only makes it extremely convenient to adjust the angle of the mirror, but also prevents damage to the mirror body even if the bicycle falls over because the mirror body can move according to the external force. effective.
