Abstract

The wing mirrors of all types of motor vehicle are connected electrically, electromechanically or in like manner to the direction indicator switch stalk(s) and, when the latter is (are) actuated, pivot outwards such that the area of the road known as the 'blind spot' is easily visible. The wing mirrors are likewise easily returned to their original positions synchronously with the resetting of the direction indicator (s).

Description

Kfz-Seitenspiegel, ausschwenkend bei Blinkerbetätigung Vehicle side mirror, swinging out when the turn signal is activated
Einsatzgebiet:Operation area:
Alle Kraftfahrzeuge, die am Strassenverkehr teilnehmen. Beschreibung:All motor vehicles that participate in road traffic. Description:
Die Seitenspiegel von Kraftfahrzeugen jeder Art, die am Strassen¬ verkehr teilnehmen, sind mit dem/den Blinkerhebel/n ( Fahrtrich¬ tungs-Anzeiger-Hebeln) elektrisch oder elektro-mechanisch oder ähnlich verbunden und schwenken bei Betätigung des Blinkerhebels so nach außen, daß der als "toter Winkel" bekannte Straßenraum problemlos übersehen werden kann, und dadurch beim Einscheren z.B. in die Autobahn, bezw. beim Fahrbahnwechsel oder Richtungs¬ wechsel usw. Unfälle vermieden werden bezw. die Unfallgefahr reduziert werden kann.The side mirrors of all types of motor vehicles that take part in road traffic are electrically or electromechanically or similarly connected to the indicator lever (s) (direction indicator lever) and pivot outwards when the indicator lever is actuated so that the street space known as the "blind spot" can be easily overlooked, and thus, for example, when reeving in the highway, resp. when changing lanes or changing direction etc. accidents are avoided or the risk of accidents can be reduced.
Der Spiegel/das Spiegelglas bleibt ausgeschwenkt bis der Blinker¬ hebel wieder in die Null-Stellung kommt/gebracht wird und stellt sich dann automatisch wieder in die Ausgangsstellung zurück. Der Spiegel kann aus einem Stück bestehen oder geteilt sein. The mirror / mirror glass remains pivoted out until the turn signal lever comes / is brought back to the zero position and then automatically returns to the starting position. The mirror can consist of one piece or be divided.
