A tail mirror for an automobile includes a mirror holder having a holder pivot portion, a mounting base having a base pivot portion, an adjustment seat disposed between the holder and base pivot portions, and first and second adjusters. The first adjuster connects the adjustment seat to the holder pivot portion, the holder pivot portion being rotatable relative to the adjustment seat about a first pivot axis, the first adjuster being operable to limit or permit rotational movement of the holder pivot portion. The second adjuster connects the adjustment seat to the base pivot portion, the base pivot portion being rotatable relative to the adjustment seat about a second pivot axis which is substantially perpendicular to the first pivot axis, the second adjuster being operable to limit or permit rotational movement of the base pivot portion.

A vehicle imaging apparatus for generating a picture of a wide are in an inexpensive manner without affecting the aesthetic appeal of the vehicle. The vehicle imaging apparatus generates a picture of a predetermined area outside a vehicle having a rearview mirror. The vehicle imaging apparatus includes a reflection mirror arranged in the rearview mirror and having a curved surface. An imaging device is arranged in the rearview mirror to generate a picture from an image reflected on the reflection mirror. The rearview mirror is located on the passenger side of the vehicle and has a housing. The reflection mirror is arranged in a lower portion of the rearview mirror so that an upper portion of the reflection mirror is covered by the housing and a portion excluding the upper portion is exposed.

An extra rear-view mirror for a vehicle includes a frame mounted upon a rear windshield of the vehicle. The frame includes a bottom having a spherical reflector mounted thereon for reflecting image to a middle rear-view mirror in the vehicle and a thickened side formed opposite to the vehicle. At least one chamber is defined in the thickened side of the frame and at least one opening is defined in the thickened side of the frame and longitudinally communicating with the at least one chamber. At least one projector is disposed in the at least one chamber and electrically connected to a reversing system of the vehicle for promoting the bright effect when the vehicle is reversed.

A multi-view mirror assembly for a vehicle dimensioned to allow a driver to view people, vehicles and other objects positioned lateral and downwardly vertical to a rear end of the vehicle is disclosed. The multi-view mirror assembly is mountable on either an exterior or an interior surface of the vehicle. Furthermore, the multi-view mirror is maneuverable so as to compensate for varying vehicle sizes and dimensions.

A driving arm (5) that is connected directly to an output shaft (4) of an electric motor (3) is connected to a mirror housing (8) through a ball joint (10). On the other hand, a driven arm (6) is connected to the mirror housing (8) through a connection device (11) having two orthogonally intersecting shafts (12, 14). The both arms (5, 6) are disposed in parallel with each other with a level difference being provided therebetween. As a result, the under view mirror is held in an attitude preferable for the stored position thereof and held in an attitude preferable for the use position thereof, when it is moved to the use position.

A mirror surface for mounting onto an exterior front fender of a vehicle. The mirror surface is a portion of a convex surface ellipsoid with a plurality of radii of curvature. The mirror provides the driver of the vehicle with a field-of-view that is greater than the reflection angle about the vertical axis. The reflective surface has a generally convex shape throughout. The reflective surface a viewing center point that is in general alignment to the geometric center of the reflective surface. The reflective surface is generally symmetrical about a vertical plane passing through the viewing center point and about a horizontal plane passing through the viewing center point.
摘要:
The mirror assembly of the present invention includes a frame which house the mirror, a mirror frame, a rigid tubular member, and means for mounting the mirror frame to the vehicle. The mirror assembly is for mounting onto an exterior front surface of a vehicle, preferably, in the shape of a one-fourth of an ellipsoid. The mirror surface is in the shape of a convex triangle, having a variable radius of curvature. The mirror is in the shape of a portion of a quadratic surface. The mirror is formed by the intersection of each of two parallel planes with the quadratic surface. The mirror surface has a plurality of radii of curvature. The mirror provides the driver of the vehicle with a field of view which is substantially greater than angle of the quadratic surface about a vertical axis. The top portion of the ellipsoid which provides a field of view over the driver, and the side of the ellipsoid which provides a field of view of the front of the vehicle are eliminated from the mirror surface. Hence, the portion of the ellipsoid that remains enabling the driver to view alongside the vehicle, can be effectively enlarged, while still providing a reduction in the size of the blindspot behind the mirror.
摘要:
A mirror assembly for mounting onto an exterior front surface of a vehicle, preferably one on each opposed front fender of the vehicle. The mirror assembly includes a mirror having a reflective surface, the surface having a generally convex geometry, and being in the shape of an ellipsoid. The reflective surface provides the driver with a field of view along the vertical axis is in the range of 180.degree. to 220.degree.. The top portion of the reflective surface has a first plane of truncation which passes through the approximate center of the reflective surface. The rear portion of the reflective surface has a second plane of truncation which removes at least the rear half of the surface. This second plane is essentially normal to the first plane of truncation. The reflective surface is mounted with a slight upward tilt.

The lens apparatus includes a Fresnel lens which can be placed in a fixed and permanent position, e.g., in a fixed frame on the trunk of an automobile, or moved to be within sight of the operator of a vehicle so that when the operator is backing the vehicle so that the lens is approximately perpendicular to the line of sight of the operator in order to expand his/her the field of view. In the latter case, the moving mechanism moves the lens between a stowed position in a housing and an operational position. In another embodiment, the Fresnel lens may be placed between two transparent portions of a bracket which is adapted to be mounted to the trunk of a vehicle.
