Description

BACK MIRROR FOR BICYCLE

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a rearview mirror used in a bicycle, and more particularly, to a rearview mirror used in a bicycle, For example.

A rearview mirror can be selectively installed on the bicycle to look at the situation behind the vehicle. All of the rearview mirrors used for bicycles have been configured so that a reflective mirror is installed on the upper side of the outer side of the bicycle handlebar.

Referring to FIGS. 1A and 1B, a conventional rearview mirror 50 used in a bicycle C includes a fixture 600 and a reflective mirror 700. The fixture 600 is installed on the handle frame P and the reflection mirror 700 is installed on the fixture 600. At this time, the fixture 600 is generally formed to be inclined from the upper side of the handle H to the side diagonal of the driver D or the side diagonal direction of the front side.

The inclination of the reflective mirror 700 at a diagonal position on the driver's side is to allow the reflective mirror to be installed at a point beyond the shoulder line L1 of the driver D when viewed from the front of the bicycle. This is because, when the reflective mirror 700 is installed inside the shoulder line L1, it is difficult for the driver to observe the rear side because his or her shoulders obscure the line of sight.

In addition, the reflective mirror 700 is provided so as to protrude from the front so that the driver's line of sight can be directed to the maximum traveling direction during operation.

That is, the position of the rearview mirror 50, which is easy to monitor the rear of the bicycle driver D up to now, is a general idea that the reflecting mirror 700 is a position protruding as much as possible from the outer side surface of the steering wheel.

However, in reality, the structure of the bicycle has a limitation in projecting the rearview mirror 50 to the side and the front. For this reason, the rearview mirrors 50 have been mounted on the shoulder of the driver (D) so that they can only observe the rear of the vehicle, and a reflective mirror 700 ).

Therefore, it was a reality that the rearview mirror was wide without the driver's back and shoulders because of their visibility.

Therefore, when bikers need to change lanes or turn at an intersection, they have to check their surroundings by turning their heads rather than observing the rear or side through the rearview mirror installed on the bicycle.

However, looking back in the middle of running a bicycle is a dangerous behavior that can lead to loss of balance. In fact, even when such an action occurs, a rollover accident occurs.

In addition, when the rearview mirror is installed on the upper side of the handle of the bicycle as described above, a secondary accident may occur to the bicycle driver when a collision accident occurs on the bicycle while the bicycle is operating.

This is because the nature of the bicycle can cause the driver to bounce off the bicycle when the car collides in the back. That is, when the driver falls to the front of the bicycle, the rearview mirror protruding to the upper part of the handle frame acts like a sledgehammer to the driver, which can cause a secondary injury to the driver.

Many people who use bicycles for various reasons like this do not use a rearview mirror, and when they need to look at the rear and sides during driving, they turn their heads and take a look at themselves.

In addition, a rearview mirror protruding from the upper side of the handle may directly collide with the ground when the bicycle falls, and may be damaged.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a bicycle rearview mirror capable of sufficiently reducing the angle of a rearview mirror used in a conventional rearview mirror, Quot; is provided.

It is also an object of the present invention to provide a rearview mirror for a bicycle which prevents a bicycle driver from being injured by a rearview mirror even if an accident occurs while the bicycle is being operated.

It is another object of the present invention to provide a rearview mirror for a low-voltage vehicle which can prevent the rearview mirror from directly colliding with the ground even if the bicycle is overturned, thereby preventing the rearview mirror from being damaged.

According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a rearview mirror for a bicycle, the rearview mirror including a reflection mirror installed in front of a handle for changing a steering angle of a front wheel of a bicycle, and a fixture for fixing the reflection mirror to the handle. A reflection mirror installed so as to observe the rear of the bicycle at a point where the bicycle protrudes to the front lower portion inside the handle; One end fixed to the handle frame of the bicycle and the other end fixed to the mirror of the bicycle; .

Further, the installation point of the reflection mirror is installed at a front point which is spaced from 20 cm to 40 cm in the horizontal direction with respect to the handle of the bicycle, and at a lower point which is spaced from 5 cm to 30 cm in the vertical direction.

The fixture is composed of a clamp which is fastened to the inside of the handle of the bicycle and a support which is fixed to the clamp at one end and is projected diagonally to the front of the lower part of the handle at which the reflection mirror is installed, And a horizontal spacing part extending from the lower end of the vertical spacing part toward the front of the bicycle.

The rearview mirror for a bicycle according to the present invention configured as described above is less likely to generate a square than a conventional rearview mirror, and thus the rear area of the bicycle can be sufficiently observed. Therefore, there is an effect that dangerous action such as turning the head and turning around while driving the bicycle is not necessary.

In addition, even if a crash occurs during the operation of the bicycle, the bicycle driver can prevent secondary collision with the rearview mirror attached to the bicycle, thereby preventing the bicycle driver from being injured by the rearview mirror.

In addition, even when the bicycle is overturned, since the rearview mirror is positioned between the bicycle handle and the wheel, it is prevented that the rearview mirror is directly collided with the ground, thereby preventing the vehicle from being damaged.

FIG. 5 is an exploded perspective view showing an exploded view of a rearview mirror for a bicycle according to an embodiment of the present invention,
FIG. 6 is an explanatory diagram for explaining a mounting point of a reflecting mirror of a rearview mirror for a bicycle according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Hereinafter, a rearview mirror for a bicycle according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

3 to 6, a rearview mirror 10 (hereinafter referred to as a rearview mirror) according to the present invention includes a reflecting mirror 100 capable of observing the rear of a bicycle C and a reflecting mirror 100, And a fixture 200 for fixing the handle C to the handle frame P inside the handle H.

Referring to the reflection mirror 100, the reflection mirror 100 used in the present invention is positioned at a predetermined mounting point F protruding from the inside of the handle H of the bicycle to the front lower portion of the bicycle.

The mounting point F of the reflecting mirror 100 may be indicated by a distance that is spaced with respect to the handle H of the bicycle and a distance between the handle H of the bicycle and the reflecting mirror 100 is set to be parallel to the ground it is preferable to be located between an x1 point spaced by 25 centimeters in the horizontal direction and an x2 point spaced by 40 centimeters in the x-axis direction and a y1 point and a 30 centimeter distant from the 5 centimeter vertically in the y- It is preferable to be disposed between the separated y2 points.

That is, the reflecting mirror 100 is positioned between x1 and x2 in the x-axis direction in front of the handle H, and between y1 and y2 in the y-axis direction.

The installation point F of the reflection mirror 100 is an optimum point at which the driver D of the bicycle C can look at the reflection mirror 100 while maintaining a maximum line of sight toward the traveling direction of the bicycle . That is, when the reflective mirror 100 is positioned between x1 and x2 in the x-axis direction from the handle H and between y1 and y2 in the y-axis direction, the shoulder line L1 of the driver, The occurrence of squareness is significantly reduced because the sheath is not covered.

This is because the reflection mirror 100 is installed at the lower portion of the handle H and thus the driver D can recognize the rear of the bicycle through the reflection mirror 100, Is an image outside the driver's thighs line (L2), it can be seen that the square is reduced by the distance between the shoulder line (L1) and the thighs line (L2).

The bicycle driver D observes the image of the rear side including the lower body, the frame of the bicycle and the rear wheel through the reflection mirror 100. The lower body and the frame of the bicycle and the rear wheel have a large gap And the driver D can sufficiently confirm the image inside the thigh line L2 through this gap.

Therefore, the bike driver can confirm the rear of the bicycle through the reflection mirror (100) regardless of the near and far distance. Therefore, there is no need to look back while driving the bicycle.

The fixture 200 used to fix the reflective mirror 100 to the handle frame P has one end fixed to the inside of the handle H and the reflective mirror 100 pivotally coupled to the other end. The handle frame P is connected to the inside of the handle H or to the inside of the handle H in which the one end of the fixture 200 is fixed.

The fixture 200 includes a clamp 210, a support 210, and a ball joint 230. The clamp 210 is fastened to the handle frame P of the bicycle and the support 210 is a beam having a predetermined length provided between the handle frame P and the reflecting mirror 100. The ball joint 230 Is provided at an end portion of the support table 210.

In this case, the support base 210 is provided with a vertical spacing 221 and a horizontal spacing 222 to allow the reflective mirror 100 to be positioned at the predetermined position with respect to the handle P. [

First, the vertical spacing portion 221 extends to the lower end of the handle frame P, which is a portion for avoiding attachments to be attached to the handle frame P between the handle H and the handle H. That is, various devices such as a brake, a horn, and a speedometer are attached to the handle frame P between the handle H and the handle H.

However, the handle frame P is a short bar about 30 centimeters, which is also split on both sides by the handle axis. When the clamp 210 of the rearview mirror 10 is fastened to the handle frame P, if the support 210 is formed in a straight line in the clamp 210, the support 210 and the attachments may interfere with each other It is possible.

Therefore, in order to solve such a problem, the support base 210 is composed of the vertical spacing part 221 and the horizontal spacing part 222. That is, the vertical spacing portion 221 serves to prevent interference between other devices attached to the handle frame P. [ Considering that most of the attachments are concentrated on the driver ' s eye and the upper end of the handle frame P adjacent to both hands, it will utilize the lower end of the handle frame P, which is relatively small in attachment and out of sight of the driver.

The vertical spacing 221 is preferably about 5 centimeters in length and extends vertically toward the ground. The vertical spacing 221 is manufactured as described above because it is a distance that can be sufficiently removed by 5 centimeters from most devices attached to the handle frame P. [

The horizontal spacing portion 222 extends from the vertical spacing portion 221 toward the front of the bicycle and extends in the horizontal or horizontal direction by about 5 to 10 degrees downward toward the ground. In this case, since the position of the end of the horizontal spacing part 222 is a position where the reflection mirror 100 is installed, it is preferable that the horizontal distance between the front part and the front part of the horizontal part is 20 centimeters to 40 centimeters To a length of 5 centimeters to 30 centimeters.

The ball joint 230 provided at the end of the support 210 may be formed of a rotating ball and a ball bracket. The rotating ball may be integrally formed with the support 210, and the ball bracket may be separately manufactured And may be integrally formed with the mirror housing 111 surrounding the reflective mirror 100.

The ball joint 230 is for adjusting the installation position of the reflective mirror 100 and is adapted to the user's body to maximize the image of the rear side to the driver.

The rearview mirror 10 according to the present invention composed of the reflecting mirror 100 and the fixture 200 constructed as described above can be mounted on the fixture 200 protruding from the inner side of the handle H of the bicycle, And the reflecting mirror 100 is installed so as to protrude in the direction of both handles H at the projected front end of the fixture 200. [

The rearview mirror 10 configured as described above allows the driver D to observe the image of the rear of the bicycle without a square while minimizing the deviation of the sight line from the traveling direction of the bicycle while the bicycle C is operating.

Therefore, the driver D does not need to deviate the line of sight from the traveling direction of the bicycle in order to change the direction. This is because it is directly connected to the safe driving of the place, and it is not necessary to turn around and turn around while driving to prevent the center from being lost when monitoring the rear.

The rearview mirror 10 of the present invention may be mounted on a support 210, even if an accident occurs in which an automobile collides with a driver in the rear of the bicycle and the driver D falls to the front of the bicycle C Is directed toward the inner lower front of the handle H, so that the driver does not act as an obstacle to fall down. Therefore, the rearview mirror 10 of the present invention does not cause any injury to the driver, thereby preventing secondary injury to the driver in the event of an accident.

Since the reflecting mirror 100 and the support 210 of the rearview mirror 10 are positioned between the front wheel and the handle, even if the bicycle is rolled over, the rearview mirror 10 does not directly collide with the ground, It is effective.

As described above, the preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited specifically to the above embodiments. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that many variations and modifications of the present invention are possible without departing from the spirit and scope of the appended claims, And should be regarded as falling within the scope of the invention.
