Abstract

PURPOSE:To reduce dead angle by providing left and right sideview mirrors on the front corners of an automobile, and also by providing left and right door mirrors on the front doors, in such a way that the mirror surface of the left sideview mirror is inclined toward the right back and the left front, and the mirror surface of the right sideview mirror toward the left back and the right front respectively. CONSTITUTION:On the front left and right corners 1a, 1b of an automobile, left and right sideview mirrors 4a, 4b are arranged, and on the left and right front doors 2a, 2b, left and right door mirrors 5a, 5b are arranged. The mirror surface of the left sideview mirror 4a is inclined toward the right back and the left front, while the mirror surface of the right sideview mirror 4b is inclined toward the left back and the right front, so that the driver can get an unobstructed left and right view of the front. Further, on the opposite side surfaces of the sideview mirrors 4a, 4b, left and right corner lamps 7a, 7b are arranged for lighting the left and right front an night or the like, so that the confirmation of an obstacle by means of respective sideview mirrors 4a, 4b can be facilitated.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION <Industrial Application Field> The present invention relates to an automobile mirror device ζ for checking safety at automobile intersections and the like.

<Conventional technology> Conventionally, automobiles have been equipped with sight (fender) mirrors and door mirrors that allow the driver to see left and right behind the driver, rear view mirrors that allow the driver to see behind the center, headlamps that illuminate the front in dark places, and direction changers. Safety confirmation parts are installed such as turn signal lamps to indicate vehicle width, side (position) lamps to indicate vehicle width, and brake lights to indicate when the brakes are applied. However, even with these safety confirmation parts, when moving forward or turning left or right at narrow intersections or garages, it is difficult for drivers to see the front left and right, especially at night, and accidents resulting in collisions with people or vehicles at the intersection are difficult. There is a high risk that this will occur and special care must be taken.

<Problem to be solved by the invention> For the above reasons, there is a need for mirrors and lamps that can easily see the front left and right sides of narrow intersections and garages even at night, and can confirm safety. There is.

An object of the present invention is to provide an automobile mirror device that solves the above problems.

<Means to solve the problem> Explain with reference to the drawings. In order to achieve the above object, the automobile mirror device according to the first invention provides side mirrors 4a and 4b at the front end corners 1a and lb of the automobile, and door mirrors 5a and 5b respectively on the front doors 2a and 2b. The mirror surface of the left side mirror 4a is tilted toward the rear right and the front left, and the mirror surface of the right side mirror 4b is tilted toward the rear left and front right.

Moreover, the automobile mirror device according to the second invention has, in addition to the structure of the first invention, a mirror 4a.

Corner lamps 7a and 7b are provided on the side opposite to the mirror surface of 4b, respectively.

<Operation> The automobile mirror device according to the first invention configured as described above has side mirrors 4a, 4. b allows the driver to see right and left in front of him, so he can safely move forward or change left and right directions even at narrow intersections and garages.

Furthermore, in the automobile mirror device according to the first invention, the corner lamps 7a and 7b illuminate the left and right front in a dark place, and the side mirrors 4a and 4b allow the driver to see right and left front, so even at night. You can safely move forward or change left and right directions even at narrow intersections and garages.

<Example> Example 1a will be described with reference to the drawings.

1b is the left and right corners of the front end of the car, 2a and 2b are the left and right front doors, 3a and 3b are the left and right corners of the front and rear ends of the car, and 4
Reference numerals a and 4b denote left and right side mirrors, and the mirror surface of the left side mirror 4a is tilted to the right rear and left front, and the mirror surface of the right side mirror 4b is tilted to the left rear and right front, so that the driver can see right and left ahead. It is now possible. 5a and 5b are left and right door mirrors, 6a and 61), and 6C and 6d are left and right front and rear turn signal lamps. Reference numerals 7a and 7b are left and right corner lamps respectively provided on the sides opposite to the mirror surfaces of the side mirrors 4a and 4b, which illuminate the left and right front in a dark place.
By checking the presence or absence of obstacles using the side mirrors 4a and 4b, the vehicle can safely move forward or turn left or right at night, even at narrow intersections and garages.

FIG. 6 is an electrical circuit diagram of an automobile mirror device,
a, 8b are left and right flashers, 9a, 9b, 9c.

9d is a relay switch with two on each side, 1°a, 1
0b indicates the left and right turn signal switches, 11 indicates the hazard switch, and 12 indicates the power supply.

Next, the effect will be explained. When the left turn signal switch 10a is turned on, the left relay switch 9a is turned on, the left front and rear turn signal lamps 6a and 6b flash, the left corner lamp 7a is turned on, the left front is illuminated, and the right side mirror 4b allows the driver to You can see to the left front, and on the other hand, when you turn on the right turn signal switch 10b, the right relay switch 9b turns on, the right front and rear turn signal lamps 6c and 6d flash, and the right corner lamp 7b lights up, and the left front turns on. The side mirror 4a allows the driver to see right ahead, and the driver can safely move forward or turn left or right at night, even at narrow intersections and garages.

Furthermore, when the hazard switch 11 is turned on, the left and right relay switches 9c and 9d are turned on, both flashers 8a and 8b are activated, and the left and right front and rear turn signal lamps 6a, 6b, 6c are activated.
, 6d flash, both corner lamps 7a and 7b are lit, the left and right front are illuminated, and the left and right side mirrors 4a are illuminated.
, 4b allows the driver to see right and left ahead.

As described above, with the present invention, it is possible to check obstacles on the left and right in front, people trying to cross, unlit bicycles, etc. even at night, and it is possible to move forward or turn left or right safely even at narrow intersections and garages. I can do it.

Note that rear confirmation is performed using the door mirrors 5a, 5b and a rear view mirror (not shown).

<Effects of the Invention> Since the present invention is configured as described above, the driver can see right and left ahead, so the driver can safely move forward or change left and right directions at night, even at narrow intersections and garages. It is extremely convenient.
