Abstract

The optical systems, e.g. a mirror, magnifying glass, lens systems etc., are secured to the car, enabling the driver to see, through the windscreen or rear window, objects and scenery normally out of the driver's line of vision. Pref. a wide angle mirror is secured to the dashboard, or any other suitable spot inside the driver's compartment, as required. The same may apply to a suitable magnifying glass. The device is of such configuration, as to enable its securing at a suitable position, e.g. by screws, adhesive, suction cups, or clipping over the rear view mirror etc.. The device may be fixed or swivelable into position, as required.

Description

Steht man mit dem Auto vor einer Ampel, so haben insbesondere größere Personen oft das Problem, daß die Ampel schlecht eingesehen werden kann (nur durch starkes Kopfdrehen usw.), da sie entweder weit oben liegt, oder z. B. durch den Rückspiegel verdeckt wird, oder zu weit seitlich liegt.If you stand in front of a traffic light by car, you have in particular Larger people often face the problem that the traffic lights are bad can be viewed (only by turning your head, etc.), since it is either high up, or z. B. by the The rear-view mirror is covered or lies too far to the side.

Die vorliegende Erfindung soll es ermöglichen, daß z. B. die Ampel ohne Einnehmen einer anderen Sitzhaltung bequem beobachtet werden kann. Dies entbindet nicht davon, vor dem endgültigen Losfahren, die Ampel noch einmal direkt anzuschauen.The present invention is intended to enable z. B. the Traffic light easily observed without adopting a different sitting position can be. This does not release you from the final one Start driving, look at the traffic lights again.

Im weiteren kann die Beobachtungseinrichtung auch dazu dienen, die "tote Stelle", die durch den Rückspiegel bei der Sicht nach vorne halb rechts entsteht, auszulöschen, und so Gefahren, die sich halb rechts vom Fahrer befinden, leichter zu erkennen.Furthermore, the observation device can also serve to the "dead spot" by looking through the rearview mirror front half right arises to wipe out and so dangers which are half right of the driver, easier to see.

Die Beobachtungseinrichtung kann aus einem Spiegel bestehen (z. B. Weitwinkelspiegel), der z. B. auf dem Armaturenbrett festgemacht ist (1), oder er ist an der seitlichen Konsole befestigt (2), oder direkt an der Windschutzscheibe. (Abb. 1).The observation device can consist of a mirror (e.g. wide-angle mirror) which, for. B. is attached to the dashboard ( 1 ), or it is attached to the side console ( 2 ), or directly on the windshield. ( Fig. 1).

Oder es wird eine Lupe oder ein noch aufwendigeres optisches System genommen und in der Nähe des Rückspiegels befestigt.Or it will be a magnifying glass or an even more complex optical one System taken and attached near the rearview mirror.

An ihm selbst, an der oberen Konsole (3), oder an der Windschutz scheibe direkt. (Abb. 1).On himself, on the upper console ( 3 ), or on the windscreen directly. ( Fig. 1).

Die Beobachtungseinrichtung kann ganz starr festgemacht sein, oder aber auch beweglich gestaltet werden (evtl. arretierbar), so daß sie auch weggedreht werden kann, wenn z. B. durch sie eine Beeinträchtigung entsteht z. B. durch Sonnenstrahlen.The observation device can be fixed rigidly, or they can also be designed to be movable (possibly lockable), so that it can also be turned away when z. B. through them Impairment arises e.g. B. by sun rays.

Claims

1. observation device, characterized in that in front of the driver optical systems (z. B. mirror, magnifying glass, complex optical systems, lens systems, etc.) are attached to the car, which make it possible to look through the windshield with the help of the observation device to be seen, which are normally not visible due to the limitation of the windshield or the rear view mirror (e.g. traffic lights).

2. Observation device according to claim 1, characterized in that a mirror (z. B. Wide angle mirror) on the dashboard ( 1 ) ( Fig. 1), on a lateral boundary of the windshield ( 2 ), on the upper boundary of the windshield ( 3rd ), on the inside of the roof, on the rear view mirror, on the driver or front passenger door inside or outside, on the body in front of the windscreen, on the windscreen directly, or on the driver or front passenger window, or at any other place of the car is attached.

3. Observation device according to claim 1, characterized in that a magnifying glass or any other optical system suitable for this purpose, for. B. on the dashboard ( 1 ) ( Fig. 1), on a lateral boundary of the windshield ( 2 ), on the upper boundary of the windshield ( 3 ), on the inner side of the roof, on the windshield directly on the body the windshield, or anywhere else in the car.

4. Observation device according to claims 1-4, characterized in that the observation device is designed so that it is attached to the car in the correct position by a suitable method. Many methods are possible, e.g. B. screws, glueing, suction cups, pushing over the rear view mirror ( Fig. 2), rivets, from the beginning when building a car, etc.

5. Observation device according to claims 1-4, characterized in that the observation device always occupies a fixed position, or is only brought into the correct position when required, such as. B. in Fig. 3, it can then be locked in different positions.

6. Observation device according to claims 1-5, characterized in that it assumes a fixed rigid position, but its optical system is changeable, for. B. in a fulcrum (D) ( Fig. 4, 5).

7. Observation device according to claims 1-6, characterized in that for the exact construction of the observation direction a variety of constructions are possible depending on the mounting location and target of the optics (e.g. traffic light observation, Switch off the "dead spot" in front of the rear view mirror etc.

8. Observation device according to claims 1-7, characterized in that it or parts of it mechanically or electrically are adjustable.

9. Observation device according to claims 1-8, characterized in that they are also on the two exterior mirrors (on the driver and Passenger door) can be attached or integrated.
