Such a mirror is particularly easy to manufacture and in addition has a flat surface at the side facing the observer.

Description

Einteiliger Spiegel zur rückwärtigen Kontrolle und Betrachtung von bewegten GeschehensabläufenOne-piece mirror for rearward control and viewing of moving events
Die Erfindung betrifft einen einteiligen Spiegel zur rückwärti¬ gen Kontrollen und Betrachtung von bewegten Geschehensabläufen mit einem einteiligen Grundkörper aus Glas, Kunststoff oder dergleichen, auf den Spiegelmaterial aufgebracht ist.The invention relates to a one-piece mirror for the rearward control and observation of moving events with a one-piece base body made of glass, plastic or the like, on which mirror material is applied.
Derartige einteilige Spiegel finden beispielsweise als Außen¬ spiegel bei Kraftfahrzeugen Verwendung. Sie sind deshalb als einteilig bezeichnet, weil das Spiegelmaterial mit dem Grundkör¬ per eine bauliche Einheit bildet.Such one-piece mirrors are used, for example, as exterior mirrors in motor vehicles. They are referred to as one part because the mirror material forms a structural unit with the base body.
Bei derartigen Spiegeln sind beide Hauptseiten des Grundkörpers des Spiegels plan und parallel zueinander ausgebildet, so daß durch diese nur ein bestimmter Einfallwinkel vom Inneren des Fahrzeuges aus überwacht werden kann. Soweit sich Fahrzeuge dem eigenen Fahrzeug nähern, treten sie in den sogenannten toten Winkel ein und sind für eine gewisse Zeitdauer nicht mehr zu sehen.In such mirrors, both main sides of the main body of the mirror are flat and parallel to each other, so that only a certain angle of incidence can be monitored from inside the vehicle. As far as vehicles approach their own vehicle, they enter the so-called blind spot and cannot be seen for a certain period of time.
Diesem toten Winkel kann Abhilfe geschaffen werden, durch Anbringung mehrerer Spiegel, die in unterschiedlichem Winkel zueinander stehen, so daß sich durch Überlappung der Über¬ wachungsbereiche kein toter Winkel mehr ergibt. Diese Kon¬ struktion ist jedoch aufwendig und in der Regel optisch nicht ansehnlich. Es ist Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, einen Spiegel der genannten Art anzugeben, der den toten Winkel ausschließt, dabei aber besonders einfach und kostengünstig herzustellen ist.This blind spot can be remedied by attaching several mirrors which are at different angles to one another, so that there is no longer a blind spot due to the overlapping of the monitoring areas. However, this construction is complex and generally not visually appealing. It is an object of the present invention to provide a mirror of the type mentioned, which excludes the blind spot, but is particularly simple and inexpensive to manufacture.
Gelöst wird die Aufgabe bei einem Spiegel der genannten Art dadurch, daß der einteilige Grundkörper auf der dem Betrachter zugewandten Seite eine plane Oberfläche aufweist und die dem Betrachter abgewandte Seite des Grundkörpers einen ersten, planen Abschnitt sowie eine in den Grundkörper eingefräste Linse oder statt der Linse einen unter einem Winkel zum ersten Abschnitt angeordneten zweiten Abschnitt aufweist.The object is achieved with a mirror of the type mentioned in that the one-piece base body has a flat surface on the side facing the viewer and the side of the base body facing away from the viewer has a first, flat section and a lens milled into the base body or instead of the lens has a second section arranged at an angle to the first section.
Ein wesentliches Merkmal der vorliegenden Erfindung besteht darin, daß der Grundkörper einteilig ist und damit die dem Betrachter zugewandte Seite des Spiegels, wie beim üblichen Spiegel, eben bleibt. Der Spiegel gestaltet sich für den Betrachter damit optisch ansprechend. Ferner kann die dem Betrachter zugewandte Seite des Spiegels unproblematisch saubergehalten werden, es entstehen keinerlei Probleme bei der Reinigung des Spiegels wie bei bekannten Spiegeln, die dem Überbrücken des toten Winkels dienen, dabei aber Schnittstellen im Spiegel oder aufgesetzte Spiegelteile aufweisen.An essential feature of the present invention is that the base body is in one piece and thus the side of the mirror facing the viewer remains flat, as in the conventional mirror. The mirror is visually appealing to the viewer. Furthermore, the side of the mirror facing the viewer can be kept clean without any problems; there are no problems with cleaning the mirror, as with known mirrors, which serve to bridge the blind spot, but which have interfaces in the mirror or attached mirror parts.
Ferner lassen sich durch die der Überbrückung des toten Winkels dienende Linse bzw. den der Überbrückung dienenden zweiten Abschnitt genauestens die Blickwinkelrichtungen durch Festlegung des entsprechenden Linsenquerschnittes bzw. der Neigung des zweiten Abschnittes zum ersten Abschnitt festlegen.Furthermore, the viewing angle directions can be precisely determined by defining the corresponding lens cross section or the inclination of the second section to the first section by means of the lens serving to bridge the blind angle or the second section serving to bridge.
Die Linse oder der zweite Abschnitt sind vorteilhaft im Randbe¬ reich des Grundkörpers angeordnet, somit ist der plane, erste Abschnitt benachbart zum Fahrzeug positioniert, während die Linse bzw. der zweite Abschnitt des Grundkörpers weiter be¬ abstandet zum Fahrzeug angeordnet sind.The lens or the second section are advantageously arranged in the edge region of the base body, thus the flat, first section is positioned adjacent to the vehicle, while the lens or the second section of the base body are arranged further apart from the vehicle.
Die Linse wird auf einfache Art und Weise durch eine nach innen gerichtete, rotationssymmetrische Wölbung im Grundkörper gebildet. Besonders einfach läßt sie sich erzeugen durch Einfräsen der Wölbung in die dem Betrachter abgewandte Seite des Grundkörpers. Nach dem Einfräsen der Wölbung in den Grundkörper wird die dem Betrachter abgewandte Seite des Grundkörpers mit dem Spiegelmaterial versehen. Es handelt sich hierbei in bekannter Art und Weise um das Aufbringen von Metallflächen, insbesondere aluminium- oder silberhaltigen Metallflächen auf den Grundkörper, beispielsweise durch Aufdampfen oder chemische Prozesse. Bei in den Grundkörper eingefräster Linse stellt sich dem Betrachter des Spiegels der Linsenbereich als Kreisaus- schnitt im Spiegel dar, der ein anderes virtuelles Bild erzeugt als die verbleibende, den Linsenbereich umschließende plane Spiegelfläche.The lens is formed in a simple manner by an inward, rotationally symmetrical curvature in the base body. It can be generated particularly easily by Milling the curvature into the side of the base body facing away from the viewer. After the curvature has been milled into the base body, the side of the base body facing away from the viewer is provided with the mirror material. In a known manner, this involves the application of metal surfaces, in particular aluminum or silver-containing metal surfaces, to the base body, for example by vapor deposition or chemical processes. When the lens is milled into the base body, the viewer of the mirror presents the lens area as a circular section in the mirror, which creates a different virtual image than the remaining flat mirror surface surrounding the lens area.
Bei der Gestaltung des Grundkörpers auf dessen Rückseite mit den beiden unter einem Winkel angeordneten Abschnitten ist vor¬ gesehen, daß der erste plane Abschnitt des Grundkörpers parallel zu der dem Betrachter zugewandten planen Oberfläche des Grund¬ körpers angeordnet ist. Auch der zweite Abschnitt, der zur Überbrückung des toten Winkel unter einem Winkel zum ersten Abschnitt angeordnet ist, sollte plan ausgebildet sein, dies bereits deshalb, weil sich bei einer solchen Gestaltung der Grundkörper besonders einfach herstellen läßt. So ist es bei dieser Gestaltung nur notwendig, bei der Herstellung des Spiegels von einem Grundkörper auszugehen, der eine konstante Dicke aufweist und der in seinem einen Randbereich zum Rand hin stärker abzuschleifen ist, womit sich der Querschnitt des Grundkörpers im Bereich des zweiten Abschnitts, vom ersten Abschnitt ausgehend zu dem dem ersten Abschnitt abgewandten Rand des Grundkörpers verjüngt. Es braucht dann der Grundkörper nur noch auf seiner Rückseite mit dem Spiegelmaterial versehen zu werden. Der Winkel, den die Oberfläche des zweiten Abschnittes mit der Ebene durch den ersten Abschnitt einschließt, ist minimal, insbesondere kleiner 2°, woraus sich ergibt, daß zu einer Herstellung des Spiegels auf diese Art und Weise nur eine geringe Bearbeitung des Grundkörpers in dem interessierenden Randbereich erforderlich ist. Die Erfindung schlägt damit einen einteiligen Spiegel vor, der die Betrachtung von Geschehensabläufen im toten Winkel er¬ möglicht. Bei dem Spiegel bilden der eigentliche Planspiegel und der den toten Winkel überbrückende gewölbte Spiegel bzw. der weitere Planspiegel eine körperliche Einheit, sie befinden sich in demselben Grundkörper.When designing the base body on its rear side with the two sections arranged at an angle, it is provided that the first flat section of the base body is arranged parallel to the flat surface of the base body facing the viewer. The second section, which is arranged at an angle to the first section to bridge the blind spot, should also be of flat design, because the basic body can be produced particularly easily with such a design. So with this design it is only necessary to start with the manufacture of the mirror from a base body that has a constant thickness and that has to be ground more sharply in one edge area towards the edge, so that the cross section of the base body in the area of the second section, from the first section tapers starting from the edge of the base body facing away from the first section. The base body then only needs to be provided with the mirror material on its rear side. The angle which the surface of the second section encloses with the plane through the first section is minimal, in particular less than 2 °, from which it follows that in order to manufacture the mirror in this way, only a slight machining of the base body in the area of interest Edge area is required. The invention thus proposes a one-piece mirror, which makes it possible to view events in the blind spot. In the case of the mirror, the actual plane mirror and the arched mirror bridging the blind angle or the further plane mirror form a physical unit, they are located in the same basic body.
Nachfolgend ist die vorliegende Erfindung an zwei Ausführungs¬ formen beispielsweise dargestellt. Es zeigt:The present invention is illustrated below using two embodiments, for example. It shows:
Figur 1 einen Spiegel mit Linse, von der Betrachterseite aus gesehen,FIG. 1 shows a mirror with a lens, seen from the viewer's side,
Figur 2 einen Schnitt gemäß der Linie A-A in Figur 1 durch den Grundkörper des Spiegels, Figur 3 eine Ansicht X gemäß Figur 1 der Rückseite des mit dem2 shows a section along the line A-A in Figure 1 through the main body of the mirror, Figure 3 shows a view X of Figure 1 of the back of the with

Grundkörper, der zusätzlich mit dem Spiegelmaterial beschichtet ist.Base body that is also coated with the mirror material.
Bei der Ausführungsform nach den Figuren 1 bis 3 weist der Spiegel einen einteiligen Grundkörper 1 aus Glas auf. Dieser ist auf seiner Rückseite mit einem Spiegelmaterial 2 versehen, das beispielsweise als Metallfolie ausgebildet ist, die auf die Rückseite 3 des Grundkörpers 1 aufgeklebt ist. Die dem Betrach¬ ter zugewandte Vorderseite des Glaskörpers 1 ist mit der Bezugs- Ziffer 4 bezeichnet. Der Darstellung der Figur 2 ist zu entneh¬ men, daß die Vorderseite 4 und die Rückseite 3 als plane, parallel zueinander angeordnete Flächen 7 und 8 ausgebildet, wenn man von der Ausnahme absieht, daß in die Rückseite 3 des Grundkörpers 1 eine nach innen gerichtete Wölbung 5 eingebracht ist, womit sich die Rückseite 3 in diesem Bereich als rotations¬ symmetrische konkave Fläche, d.h. Kugelkalotte darstellt. Erzeugt wird dieser Bereich mittels Fräsen. Figur 3 veranschau- licht, daß die gesamte Rückseite 3 des Grundkörpers 1, somit auch die Wölbung 5 mit dem Spiegelmaterial 2 beschichtet sind. Von vorne, das heißt zum Betrachter hin, stellt sich die Wölbung 5 als kreisförmige Linse 6 in der insgesamt planen Vorderfläche 7 des Glaskörpers 1 ab. Wegen des Linseneffektes des kreisförmi¬ gen Ausschnittes des Spiegels ist dieser geeignet, den toten Winkel zu überbrücken. Der linsenförmige Abschnitt ist im fahrzeugfernen Bereich des Spiegels angeordnet.In the embodiment according to FIGS. 1 to 3, the mirror has a one-piece base body 1 made of glass. This is provided on its back with a mirror material 2, which is designed, for example, as a metal foil that is glued to the back 3 of the base body 1. The front side of the glass body 1 facing the viewer is designated by the reference number 4. The illustration in FIG. 2 shows that the front side 4 and the rear side 3 are designed as flat surfaces 7 and 8 which are arranged parallel to one another, with the exception of the fact that in the rear side 3 of the base body 1 there is an inward direction Curvature 5 is introduced, so that the back 3 in this area is a rotationally symmetrical concave surface, ie spherical cap. This area is created by milling. Figure 3 illustrates light that the entire back 3 of the base body 1, thus also the curvature 5 are coated with the mirror material 2. From the front, that is, towards the viewer, the curvature 5 turns out as a circular lens 6 in the overall flat front surface 7 of the glass body 1. Because of the lens effect of the circular cutout of the mirror, the latter is suitable for bridging the blind spot. The lenticular section is arranged in the region of the mirror remote from the vehicle.
Bei der Ausführungsform nach den Figuren 4 und 5 sind mit der Ausführungsform nach den Figuren 1 bis 3 übereinstimmende Teile der Einfachheit halber mit gleichen Bezugsziffern bezeichnet. Auch bei der Ausführungsform nach den Figuren 4 und 5 findet ein einteiliger Grundkörper 1 mit einer planen Vorderfläche 7 Verwendung. Die Rückseite 3 weist parallel zur Plattenforder¬ fläche 7 einen ersten, somit gleichfalls planen Abschnitt 8 auf, zu dem unter einen Winkel α einen gleichfalls planer, zweiter Abschnitt 9 des Grundkörpers 1 verläuft. Der Winkel α ist in der Figur 5 übertrieben groß gezeigt, er ist üblicherweise geringer als 2°. Hergestellt wird der Grundkörper 1, in dem man von einem Grundkörper 1 mit parallelen Vorder- und Rückflächen ausgeht, wobei die Rückseite 3 im Bereich des zweiten Abschnittes 9 beschliffen wird, so daß die Winkelanordnung von erstem Ab¬ schnitt 8 und zweitem Abschnitt 9 zustande kommt. Nach Auf- bringen des Spiegelmaterials 2 auf die Rückseite 3 des Grundkör¬ pers 1 gestattet es die Winkelanordnung der beiden Abschnitte 8 und 9, den toten Winkel zu überbrücken. In the embodiment according to FIGS. 4 and 5, parts which correspond to the embodiment according to FIGS. 1 to 3 are designated with the same reference numerals for the sake of simplicity. Also in the embodiment according to FIGS. 4 and 5, a one-piece base body 1 with a flat front surface 7 is used. The rear side 3 has, parallel to the plate front surface 7, a first section 8, which is also planar, to which a second section 9 of the base body 1, which is also planar, extends at an angle α. The angle α is shown exaggeratedly large in FIG. 5, it is usually less than 2 °. The base body 1 is manufactured by starting from a base body 1 with parallel front and rear surfaces, the rear side 3 being ground in the area of the second section 9, so that the angular arrangement of the first section 8 and the second section 9 is achieved . After the mirror material 2 has been applied to the rear side 3 of the base body 1, the angular arrangement of the two sections 8 and 9 allows the blind spot to be bridged.
