Abstract

An object of the present invention is to make it difficult for a driver to make a right or left turn or change lanes in a perfect condition to surrounding vehicles and pedestrians using only a normal turn signal, and that the driver himself cannot visually check the blinking of the turn signal itself. Also, when backing at night, in a dark place, or when it is raining, it is difficult to see targets and obstacles, and the driver is nervous and the risk of an accident is greatly increased.
An auxiliary direction indicator (4) connected to a direction indicator switch and blinking is provided below a mounting base (1) of a door mirror (2), and a plastic cover (6) for transmitting irradiation light of the auxiliary direction indicator to the outside is provided on a front surface. And a part of the side surface and the rear surface, and an irradiation unit 7 from a light emitting irradiation body which is connected to an input of a vehicle width light and a back gear and lights up on the rear surface.

Description

The present invention relates to an auxiliary direction indicator and side illuminating device for an automobile, and incorporates a light emitting illuminating body at a lower portion of a mounting body of a door mirror to appropriately notify a right or left turn or a lane change to a preceding vehicle, surrounding vehicles or pedestrians, Also, at night, in rainy weather or in a dark place, when putting a garage in the back in a narrow place, parking, turning around, etc., brighten the surrounding area of its own car, especially the surrounding area of the rear wheel, The present invention relates to an auxiliary direction indicator and side illuminating device for a motor vehicle which facilitates driving operation with certainty and safety.

方向 Generally, direction indicators are provided on the front and rear sides of the vehicle body, and they blink to notify the surroundings of turning left or right or changing lanes. In addition, when performing garage parking, parking or changing directions (turning back), it is often the case that the gear is switched to the reverse and the vehicle is shifted to the target position by the reverse traveling.

However, the blinking of a normal turn signal sometimes enters a blind spot for surrounding vehicles and pedestrians, etc., and the visual confirmation is not perfect, and even the driver of the car can recognize the blinking in the driver's seat, It is impossible to visually confirm the actual blinking, and if a lamp failure or the like is not noticed, it becomes extremely dangerous.

In addition, driving with switching to reverse gear usually involves turning to the left or right rather than straight, and the white line as a designated parking line at night, in a dark place, in rainy weather, etc. The driver is inexperienced, such as turning back and forth many times because it is very nervous and the position of the wheels is difficult to understand because it makes it difficult to see obstacles and other obstacles in the surrounding area. It has been a difficult task.
Registered Utility Model No. 3031400 Registered utility model No. 3041762

The problems to be solved by the present invention are, firstly, that it is difficult for the driver to turn left or right or change lanes in a perfect condition to the surrounding vehicles and pedestrians only with a normal turn signal, and that the driver himself or herself The inability to visually check the blinking of the indicator itself.

Second, when backing at night, in a dark place, or when it is raining, it is difficult to see targets and obstacles, and the driver is nervous and the risk of accidents is very high.

In order to solve this problem, the present invention is provided with a blinking auxiliary direction indicator connected to a direction indicator switch at a lower portion of a mounting base of a door mirror, and a plastic for passing irradiation light of the auxiliary direction indicator to the outside. It is characterized by having a cover wrapping around from the front to the side and a part of the back, and having an irradiation unit from a luminous irradiation body that is connected to the vehicle side light and the input of the back gear and lights up on the back. The above-mentioned light emitting and irradiating body is characterized in that it illuminates the vicinity of the rear wheel as a light bulb.

With such a configuration, the auxiliary direction indicator can blink at a position higher than the normal direction indicator and at a position outside the vehicle width, which makes it easier for the surrounding vehicles and pedestrians to visually check. In addition, at the time of back driving at night, dark place, rainy weather etc., especially near the rear wheel is brightly illuminated, so that the intended garage, parking, direction change can be performed safely and securely, and in the welfare business Special vehicles such as nursing care vehicles are extremely easy to operate under special conditions, even in narrow spaces.

A part for illuminating the auxiliary turn signal to the outside is formed by being turned from the front to a part of the side and the back, and the back is irradiated with the irradiation light from the side illuminator on the lower part of the mounting base of the door mirror. The part is formed to illuminate the area around the rear wheel brightly.

Next, a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a front view showing an auxiliary direction indicator / side irradiation device of a vehicle embodying the present invention, FIG. 2 is a rear view thereof, FIG. 3 is a side view thereof, and FIG. It is.

{Circle around (1)} In these figures, reference numeral 1 denotes a mounting base for an automobile door mirror, which is also fixed to the left side of the vehicle body. A mirror cover 3 for holding the mirror 2 so that it can be freely changed in angle can be freely opened and closed (folded) on the mounting base 1.

補助 Auxiliary turn signal mechanism 4 is formed below mounting base 1. The auxiliary direction indicator mechanism 4 is connected to a direction indicator switch in the driver's seat and covers a hollow chamber in which a flashing auxiliary direction indicator lamp 5 is built in with a plastic cover 6 for diffusing and converging irradiation light and converging the illumination light. The plastic cover 6 extends from the front surface to the side surface and a part of the back surface of the mounting base 1. When the auxiliary direction indicator lamp 5 flashes, the direction indicator at the normal position also flashes simultaneously.

Further, on the back surface of the mounting base 1, there is formed an illuminating portion 7 for brightly illuminating the side surface of the automobile, particularly near the rear wheel, and the illuminating portion 7 is inclined slightly downward so as to face the vicinity of the rear wheel. It has become.

The irradiating unit 7 emits light from a lamp 8 serving as an irradiating object through a built-in reflecting mirror. This lamp 8 is used as a vehicle side light (small lamp) that lights up in a dark place. Although it is assumed that the light is automatically turned on when connected to the input when the input or the gear is switched to the reverse, it is naturally possible to provide a dedicated switch.

補助 The auxiliary direction indicator / side illuminating device for an automobile according to the present embodiment is configured as described above, and FIG. Although the present embodiment shows an example of the left side of the passenger car A, it goes without saying that the right side is similarly configured.

Since the auxiliary direction indicator and side illuminating device of the car according to the present invention is configured and operates as described above, it can be applied not only to passenger cars, but also to light vehicles, large vehicles such as buses and trucks, and special work vehicles. Even if the vehicle has a special purpose such as welfare, there is a great effect when it is mounted.

FIG. 2 is a front view of the auxiliary direction indicator / side illumination device of the vehicle embodying the present invention. It is a rear view. It is a side view. It is a side view which shows the example mounted in the passenger car.
