Abstract

The wing mirror is mounted in the mirror housing pivotted about the outside, vertical edge. The inside of the housing is fitted with an electric servomotor which drives an eccentric cam. The cam lies against the back of the pivotted mirror, which is held onto the cam by a spring. When the direction flasher is operated the appropriate wing mirror servomotor is activated. This periodically pivots the mirror, at a slow rate, to pan over the mirror settings. The driver can thus monitor a wider angle of view for added safety.

Description

Beschreibung des Mehrbereich-Rückspiegel Die noch immer snsteigende Verkehrsdichte und die damit verbundene erhöhung der Gefahren haben mich veranlaßt, einen Mehrbereich -Rückspiegel zu entwickeln. Description of the multi-range rearview mirror The still rising Traffic density and the associated increase in dangers have made me to develop a multi-area rearview mirror.

Eine besonders große Gefahr bedeutet noch immer der überholende Fahrzeugverkehr. Oft kommt es bei diesen Manövern zu schweren Verkehrsunfällen, weil der rückwärtige Verkehr mit den bisherigen Rückspiegeln nicht vollkommen gesichtet werden kann.Overtaking vehicle traffic still represents a particularly great danger. Serious traffic accidents often occur during these maneuvers because of the rear Traffic with the previous rear-view mirrors cannot be completely spotted.

Besonders solche Fahrzeuge werden häufig zu spät erkannt, weil sie sich in dem gefährlichen toten Rückblickbereich befinden und sich bis zu ca. 6 Sekunden neben dem zu überholenden Fahrzeug k£i aufhalten.Such vehicles in particular are often recognized too late because they are in the dangerous dead rearview area and are up to approx. 6 seconds stand next to the vehicle to be overtaken k £ i.

i's wurden bereits Rückspiegel entwickelt und auf den Markt gebracht, womit der tote Bereich in etwa eingesehen werden kann, doch dieser Rückspiegel kann nur auf eine feste Rückblickstellung gebracht werden, der nicht den ganzen Gefahrenbereich sichtbar macht.i's rearview mirrors have already been developed and put on the market, with which the dead area can roughly be seen, but this rearview mirror can can only be brought to a fixed position, which does not cover the whole danger area makes visible.

Außerdem ha-t dieser Spiegel den großen Nachteil, weil die Spiegelsichtfläche halbiert und somit kleiner wurde. Er ist auch, weil zwei Rückblickwinkel zugleich gesehen werden, irreführend.In addition, this mirror has the major disadvantage because the mirror viewing surface halved and thus became smaller. It is also because two perspectives at the same time to be seen, misleading.

Aus all diesen Gefahrengründen wurde von mir ein Rückspiegel entwickelt, der grundsätzlich den Hauptbereich 6 A ) erfaßt, doch bei einem Fahrbahnwechsel, dem eine Fahrtrichtungsänderungsanzeige durch Blinklicht voraus geht und der Fahrzeugführer bei diesem Manöver automatisch in den Rückspiegel schaut, wird für wenige Sekunden mit dem Mehrbereich-Rückspiegel auch der tote Rückblickwinkel ( B ) erfaBt, weil durch Einschalten des (bei "Rechtsverkehr") linken Blinklichtes der Spiegel langsam nach Außen schwenkt und anschließend wieder in die Normalstellung zurückkehrt. Dieser Vorgang wiederholt sich nach wenigen Sekunden, solange der Fahrtrichtungsanzeiger eingeschaltet bleibt.For all these dangers a rearview mirror was developed by me, which basically covers the main area 6 A), but when changing lanes, which is preceded by a direction change indicator by a flashing light and the driver of the vehicle during this maneuver automatically looks in the rearview mirror for a few seconds with the multi-range rear-view mirror also detects the blind rear-view angle (B) because by switching on the left-hand flashing light of the mirror (for "right-hand traffic") slowly pivots outward and then returns to the normal position. This The process is repeated after a few seconds, as long as the direction indicator remains switched on.

Somit sieht der Fahrzeugführer immer die ganze Fläche des Spiegels und bei Ausschwenken sogar noch einen Teil seines Normalbereiches.This means that the driver always sees the entire surface of the mirror and even a part of its normal range when swiveled out.
