Abstract

The mirror according to the invention is in principle a combination of a planar mirror, or a mirror which is almost planar, with a mirror sector which takes the form of vertical strips, in the case of which the individual mirror strips are rotated about their vertical axis in such a way that they provide a view of the "blind" angle. The strip mirror causes the mirror image to appear to be composed of a multiplicity of pieces. This effect is desired, because it very clearly distinguishes the blind angle image from the actual rear view mirror image. The combined mirror can be made of different materials. For purely practical reasons, i.e. to prevent the occurrence of dirt-collecting points, it is deformed in the above way and provided with a mirror coating when transparent materials are on the back. In the case of front deformation of the mirror support it would be expedient, but not necessary according to the invention, to cover the rear view mirror with a transparent plate.

Description

Gegenstand der Erfindung ist ein Rückspiegel zur Verwendung im Straßenverkehr, der Einblick in den sogen. "toten Winkel" gibt.The invention relates to a rear-view mirror for use in Road traffic, the insight into the so-called. "blind spot" there.

In verschiedenen Patentschriften werden Lösungen vorgeschlagen, die dies ermöglichen. Sie scheitern in der Praxis aber daran, daß sie durch Form oder aufwendige Herstellungsverfahren von der Industrie nicht akzeptiert werden, oder daß sie durch ihre Wirkungsweise gesetztlichen Auflagen nicht genügen. Solutions are proposed in various patents, that make this possible. In practice, they fail because that by shape or complex manufacturing processes of not accepted by the industry, or that they are accepted by their Effectiveness does not meet legal requirements.  

Der erfindungsgemäße Rückspiegel ist serienmäßig und kostengünstig herstellbar und erfüllt die gesetzlichen Auflagen.The rearview mirror according to the invention is standard and inexpensive producible and meets the legal requirements.

Der Einblick in den "toten Winkel" wird dadurch erreicht, daß der notwendige, vom eigentlichen Rückspiegel abgewinkelte Einblickspiegel in gerade und senkrecht verlaufende Streifen zerlegt wird (Abb. 2) und diese Streifen mit ihren Schneidkanten so in 2 Ebenen gelegt werden, daß ihre Spiegelflächen in Parallelen zueinander liegen (Abb. 3).The insight into the "blind spot" is achieved in that the necessary insight mirror, angled from the actual rear-view mirror, is broken down into straight and vertical stripes ( Fig. 2) and these stripes with their cutting edges are placed in 2 planes so that their mirror surfaces parallel to each other ( Fig. 3).

(Die Winkelstellung der Streifenspiegel zum Rückspiegelteil A ist nicht unbedingt für alle Rückspiegel gleich.(The angular position of the strip mirrors in relation to the rear-view mirror part A is not necessarily the same for all rear-view mirrors.

Sie steht in Abhängigkeit von der Sitzposition des Fahrers zur Anordnung des Rückspiegels am Fahrzeug und/oder zum Brechungsindex des verwendeten Werkstoffes.)It is available depending on the driver's seating position Arrangement of the rear-view mirror on the vehicle and / or the refractive index of the material used.)

Durch die Schaffung dieses Streifenspiegels B wird erreicht, daß der Einblick in den "toten Winkel" im gleichen Maße erfolgt, wie beim unzerschnittenen Spiegel, gleichzeitig aber dieser Teil des Rückspiegels durch die wahrnehmbaren senkrechten "Schnittkanten" ganz eindeutig als "toter Winkel Spiegel" erkennbar ist und die gesetzlichen Vorschriften erfüllt.By creating this strip mirror B it is achieved that the view into the "blind spot" takes place to the same extent as in the uncut mirror, but at the same time this part of the rear view mirror is clearly recognizable as a "blind spot mirror" by the perceptible vertical "cut edges" is and meets the legal requirements.

Erfindungsgemäß ist die Ausbildung der mit einer Spiegelschicht versehenen "Rückseite" des Rückspiegels wesentlich. Deswegen kann die "Frontseite" des Rückspiegels mit seinem Teil B genauso plan oder glatt wie der Teil A des Rückspiegels - und zwar ohne optisch oder physisch spürbaren Unterschied - beschaffen sein.According to the invention, the formation of the "rear side" of the rearview mirror provided with a mirror layer is essential. Therefore, the "front" of the rearview mirror with its part B can be as flat or smooth as the part A of the rearview mirror - and without any visually or physically noticeable difference.

Bei der fabrikationsmäßigen Herstellung wird der Streifenspiegel B natürlich zweckmäßigerweise durch eine Form und/oder durch einen Schleifvorgang hergestellt.In the case of manufacturing, the strip mirror B is of course expediently produced by a mold and / or by a grinding process.
