る。 More specifically, the mirror body 7 has a cavity 9 inside, and a circular hole 11 communicating with the cavity 9 in the front surface 10.
The mirror body 8 is fitted leaving a gap 12. The mirror body 8 is directly connected to and rotatably supported by the output shaft 4 of a motor 13 installed in the cavity 9, and a blower blade 15 is integrally fixed to the inner surface of the mirror body 8. On the other hand, the arm portion 6
Inside, a cavity 17 is provided which communicates with the air intake port 16 provided on the front surface, and further communicates with the cavity 9, and at the tip thereof there is an outlet port 1 directed toward the side window 4.
form 8. A regulating valve 19 for changing the direction of air jetting is rotatably installed in the discharge port 18, and a knob 20 is protruding from the lower surface of the regulating valve 19 for arbitrarily rotating the regulating valve. . Also,
The cavity 17 is formed into a funnel shape with a wide opening on the air intake port 16 side and a narrow constriction on the protrusion port 18 side.

鏡体８の表面に付着している水滴も鏡体８の回転
により円心力が働き、その力によつて周囲に飛散
されるので鏡体８も見易くなる。 When the motor 13 is driven in the rain, the blower blades 15 rotate vigorously together with the mirror body 8, whereby outside air is sucked into the chamber 9 through the gap 12, and the pressure inside the chamber 9 is increased. Then, the pressurized air is injected from the outlet 18 toward the surface of the side window 4, thereby blowing away water droplets adhering to the surface of the side window 4 and drying the surface of the side window 4. Furthermore, water droplets adhering to the surface of the mirror body 8 of the mirror body 7 are also affected by centripetal force due to the rotation of the mirror body 8, and are scattered around by this force, making the mirror body 8 easier to see.

方の視界も良好に保つことができる。 As described above, by rotating the mirror body 8, air is drawn into the mirror body 7, and the air is injected from the discharge port 18, thereby opening the side window 4.
Since the water droplets on the mirror surface can be removed at the same time as the water droplets on the mirror surface, it is possible to maintain good rear visibility through the side surfaces of the front door 3 and the mirror body 7.

同様に実施可能である。 As shown in the figure, if a heater 21 is provided in the empty space 9 of the mirror body 7 and hot air is blown onto the side window 4 if necessary, it will be more effective. Drying is also promoted. In addition, in this embodiment, a side mirror fixed to the front door was explained, but
It is also possible to carry out the method in almost the same way for the parts fixed to both sides of the bonnet.
