JPH09164878A - Wide angular room mirror for automobile - Google Patents

Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make views outside a car on sides being right lateral, somewhat right oblique back and left lateral, and left oblique back, which a driver during driving an automobile can not see with an ordinary room mirror, visible for reducing the dead angle of the room mirror. SOLUTION: The front room mirror 1 is provided with a right side room mirror 2 and a left side room mirror 3. (A): In the case of using this room mirror, a driver shall previously adjust the right and the left side mirror 2, 3 so as to be severally most widely seen. (B): A lane just right lateral to a proceeding direction can be seen on the right side room mirror 2 of the automobile during driving by the above adjustment. Similarly, a lane just left lateral to the proceeding direction can be seen on the left side room mirror 3.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a so-called "blind spot" which is not visible to a driver who is driving a vehicle with a conventional rearview mirror, and which is located outside the vehicle on the right side or diagonally right rear and left side or diagonally left rear. , A device in which a considerable part can be seen.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional automobile rearview mirror is visible only to the outside of the vehicle through a window in front of the driver. A part of the diagonal rear can be seen by the side mirror for automobiles, but the so-called "blind spot" is still quite wide. Because of the "blind spot", when you do not notice a car or motorcycle running on the right side or diagonally right rear or left side or left diagonally rear, when you change lanes or when you suddenly operate the steering wheel unavoidably There were contact accidents, collision accidents, and accidents involving pedestrians in the rear wheels when turning left. A considerable number of these accidents can be prevented by narrowing the "blind spot".

[0003]

As shown in FIG. 3, in the conventional rearview mirror, the outside of the vehicle can be seen only through the window in the front of the rear, and the lane (right-side) immediately to the right of the traveling direction of the vehicle being driven. A car or motorcycle traveling in one lane) disappears from the field of view and is invisible to the driver-in a "blind spot". When both cars are running at the same speed while in the "blind spot", the driver illusions that "the right first lane is not driving" and changes the lane to the right carelessly. It caused accidents such as contact and collision. The same applies to the left first lane on the left side. In addition, the motorcycle is a key-left principle, and if the vehicle is traveling in the left end of the first left lane or further left lane according to the law, it will be more difficult for the driver of the vehicle to see, so the lane to the left of the vehicle Accidents were more likely to occur when changing or turning left.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems] The structure will be described. (A) A front room mirror (1), a right side room mirror (2) curved to the right outside at an appropriate angle, and a curve to the left outside at an appropriate angle. The left side room mirror (3)
Connection is made via the connection part (4). (B) The right side mirror (2) is for the purpose of looking at the right side or diagonally rearward, which the conventional driver cannot see, and the left side room mirror (3), which is not visible to the conventional driver, is the left side. It is for the purpose of looking diagonally to the left and backward. (C) The right side rearview mirror (2) and the left side rearview mirror (3) provide a wider viewing range, resulting in a narrower "blind spot" and a substantial number of accidents caused by the "blind spot" can be prevented.

[0005]

[Operation]

(B) When using the present invention, the driver previously adjusts the right side mirror (2) and the left side mirror (3) so that they can be seen most widely. (B) As a result of the above adjustment, as shown in FIG. 3, the right side rearview mirror (2) of the driving car is
The lane on the right side of the road is visible. Similarly, on the left side rearview mirror (3), a lane to the immediate left of the traveling direction can be seen. (C) Since the “blind spot” becomes narrower because the driver can see the right side or diagonally right rear and the left side or left diagonally backward, which was not visible to the driver, drive at the same speed just beside or diagonally backward. You can always see cars and motorcycles
In addition, it is possible to quickly find cars that have suddenly changed lanes and take appropriate measures, which will prevent or reduce accidents. (D) As shown in FIG. 3, the conventional rearview mirror has a "blind spot" on both sides because the outside of the vehicle can be seen only through the window on the rear front side. Since a motorcycle is light and easy to speed up, there are many cases in which the vehicle is sewn between cars so that it looks like a sudden jump to the driver of a car with a conventional rearview mirror. It looks quick and easy to handle. (E) Most of the accidents such as contact accidents and collisions caused by direct and indirect "blind spots" and accidents involving motorcycles and pedestrians in the rear wheels when turning left, etc. Can be prevented by

[0006]

【Example】

(B) By adjusting the angle on the right side rearview mirror (2), you can always see cars and motorcycles running in the right side lane in parallel or slightly diagonally backwards, so not only in normal times but also in emergency situations. It is easy to ensure the safety of lane change operations. (B) By adjusting the angle on the left side rearview mirror (3), you can always see cars and motorcycles running in the left side lane side by side or a little diagonally behind, so in normal times as well as in emergencies It is easy to ensure the safety of lane change operations. (C) Connection part (4) of the front room mirror (1) with the right side room mirror (2) and the left side room mirror (3)
May be fixed, but may be adjustable in angle or separated.

[0007]

The wide-angle rearview mirror equipped with the right-side rearview mirror (2) and the left-side rearview mirror (3) has a right side, which is not visible in the conventional room mirror, and a slightly right rear and left side, You can see the diagonally left rear, and the "blind spot" is reduced accordingly, which is effective in reducing / preventing collision accidents, contact accidents, and entrainment accidents.
