Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] The invention allows the rear part of a car to be confirmed over a wide area.
To provide a back (room) mirror for an automobile that is useful for ensuring safety, allows passengers to use a part of it for safety confirmation and other purposes, and can be easily installed.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally available rear view mirrors for automobiles generally consist of a single piece, and have the disadvantage that the visibility of the rear part is limited to the rear window, and furthermore, they cannot be used by passengers while the car is in motion. Ta.

Furthermore, the mounting configuration of conventional rearview mirrors for automobiles differs depending on the manufacturer and model of the vehicle, and it is troublesome to attach a different rearview mirror to one's own vehicle.

[The problem that the idea attempts to solve]

This invention not only expands the range of confirmation of the rear part of the car, but also allows passengers to check part of it for safety while driving.
The object of the present invention is to provide a good-looking automobile rearview mirror that can be used for other purposes and can be easily installed in one's own car.

[Means to solve the problem]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is provided with an engagement claw for the existing back mirror on the back of the main mirror, and a connecting rod hinged to both ends and a spring wrapped around the connecting rod. A secondary mirror whose angle can be adjusted and rotated is provided, and the secondary mirror is further provided with a push lever having one end protruding to the outside and the other end capable of pressing the inner end of the coupling rod. It is something.

[Effect]

The automobile rearview mirror of the present invention can be attached to an existing rearview mirror using an engaging claw on the back side of the main mirror. The sub mirrors provided at both ends of the main mirror are urged toward the main mirror by a coupling rod and a spring, and are biased toward the main mirror by a spacing member interposed between the main mirror and the sub mirror. Thus, it is stably held relative to the main mirror.

When one end of the push lever provided on the secondary mirror is pressed, the secondary mirror moves in a direction away from the primary mirror against the biasing force of the spring, making it possible to change the angle of the secondary mirror with respect to the primary mirror. The sub mirror can be rotated around the coupling rod.

Therefore, it is possible to easily and reliably adjust the angle and rotation of the secondary mirror.

〔Example〕

In the drawings, 1 is a main mirror, and 2 and 3 are sub mirrors provided at both ends thereof.

Note that the attachment of the sub mirrors 2 and 3 to the main mirror 1 is the same.

In the present invention, engaging pawls 4 and 5 for the existing back mirror a are provided at appropriate intervals on the upper and lower rear surfaces of the main mirror 1, respectively.

In the case of the embodiment shown in the drawings, the engaging claws 4 provided at appropriate intervals above form a frame 6 that holds the main mirror 1.
The engaging claws 5 provided at an appropriate interval below are movable by one bar spring 7, and both engaging claws 4 and 5 are configured to sandwich the existing mirror a. There is.

To be more specific, the approximately central part of the frame 6 is formed to protrude toward the back side, a protruding part 8 is provided in the central part, a bar spring 7 is attached to the protruding part 8, and a bar spring 7 is mounted below the protruding part at an appropriate interval. The inner ends of the engaging claws 5 provided with openings are fixed with pins 9, and the rod springs 7
Both ends are locked to the engaging claw 5 side, so that the engaging claw 5 is always moved upward.

In the case of the embodiment shown in the drawings, the inner ends of the engaging pawls 5 are gear-shaped and engage with each other, so that the engaging pawls 5 provided at appropriate intervals move upward evenly.

In the figure, reference numeral 10 denotes a bar spring locking portion provided on the engagement claw 5, but both ends of the bar spring 7 may be directly bent and respectively locked on the engagement claw 5 side.

In the figure, reference numeral 11 is a cover plate that closes the bar spring 7 section.

Next, regarding the secondary mirrors 2 and 3, a slidable coupling rod 13 is provided inside the frame 12 that holds the secondary mirrors 2 and 3 on the primary mirror 1 side.

The outer end 13a of the coupling rod 13 is hinged to the main mirror 1 side, and the inner end has a coil spring 1.
4 is wrapped around, and the connecting rod 13 is always connected to the secondary mirror 23.
The structure is such that it is pulled inward.

Furthermore, a push lever 15 whose intermediate portion is fixed with a pin 19 is provided inside the frame 12.
When one end 15a protruding to the outside is pressed, the other end 15b presses the inner end of the connecting rod 13, and the connecting rod 1
3 protrudes from the frame 12 of the sub mirrors 2 and 3.

Next, if we talk about the hinge connection between the main mirror 1 and the sub mirrors 2 and 3, the frame 6 of the main mirror 1
A connecting portion 16 for hinge connection with the connecting rod 13 of the sub mirrors 2 and 3 is formed at both ends of the mirror.

In the embodiment shown, the coupling portion 16 is connected to the frame 6.
Because it is difficult to integrally mold the

Further, the coupling portion 16 is configured to receive the outer end 13a of the coupling rod 13 provided on the side of the secondary mirrors 2 and 3, and to be able to be hingedly coupled therebetween with a pin 17,
Furthermore, the side of the coupling portion 16 on the side of the sub mirrors 2 and 3 is formed into an arcuate portion 16a.

In the figure, reference numeral 18 is provided at the outer end 13a of the coupling rod 13 of the sub mirrors 2 and 3.
It is a spacing member made of rubber, plastic, etc., shaped to match the mirror 6a, and is also separated from the secondary mirror 2 or 3. The spacing member 18, together with the arcuate portion 16a, stably holds the sub mirrors 2 and 3 relative to the main mirror 1.

The present invention with the above configuration has a main mirror 1, a sub mirror 2,
3, the range of confirmation of the rear part can be expanded from the rear window to the rear seat door, or a passenger can use part of it, specifically secondary mirror 2 or 3, for safety confirmation or other purposes. It can be used for.

That is, the sub mirrors 2 and 3 can be angularly adjusted and rotated with respect to the main mirror 1, respectively. Regarding the angle adjustment, when one end 15a of the push lever 15 is pressed with a finger, the other end 15b pushes the coupling rod 13 outside, specifically toward the main mirror 1 side.

As a result, a gap is created between the connecting portion 16 of the main mirror 1 and the spacing member 18 between the secondary mirrors 2 and 3, and the secondary mirrors 2 and 3 are rotated back and forth and around the connecting rod 13, regardless of the primary mirror 1. can be moved.

Next, when you release your finger from one end 15a of the push lever 15 at an arbitrary angle, the coupling rod 13 returns to its original position due to the force of the spring 14, and the spacing member 18 moves the main mirror 1
It is held between the sub mirrors 2 and 3 and is fixed so that it can be rotated at any angle.

Furthermore, the angle adjustment of the main mirror 1 is performed using the existing back mirror a.

That is, the present invention is for mounting using the existing back mirror a.

To be more specific, when the engaging claw 4 is locked above the existing back mirror a with the engaging claw 5 lowered and the hand is released from the engaging claw 5, the engaging claw 5 is moved by the force of the bar spring 7. It is latched and fixed to the lower part of the existing rear view mirror a.

[Effect of idea]

The automobile rearview mirror of the present invention is easy to install, and the angle and rotation of the secondary mirror can be adjusted extremely easily and reliably. This has the effect of allowing a wide range of parts to be checked, which helps ensure safety, and allows fellow passengers to use part of the part for safety checks and other purposes.
