Abstract

The blind spot mirror insert for a motor vehicle rear view mirror has a small mirror mounted for rotation abut a vertical axis controlled by the driver. The small mirror can be actuated by a micro-motor. The small mirror can be a flexible mirror sliding in a sheath (5) from a handle (6) in the mounting (4).

DEMANDE DE BREVET INSERTION D'UN PETIT MIROIR MOBILE SUPPLEMENTAIRE SUR LES RETROVISEURS POUR SUPPRIMER L'ANGLE MORT DES VEHICULES AUTOMOBILES DESCRIPTION
La présente invention concerne un dispositif supprimant l'angle mort qui existe actuellement sur l'ensemble des véhicules automobiles existants dans le monde. PATENT APPLICATION ADDITIONAL SMALL MOBILE MIRROR ON MIRRORS TO DELETE DEATH ANGLE FROM MOTOR VEHICLES DESCRIPTION
The present invention relates to a device eliminating the blind spot which currently exists on all motor vehicles existing in the world.

D'après nos recherches nous n'avons pas trouvé de brevet antérieur s'apparentant à notre proposition, sinon des systèmes optiques complexes qui n'ont pu trouvé d'application pratique, certainement du fait de leur complexité, à la résolution de l'angle mort des véhicules.  According to our research we did not find an earlier patent similar to our proposal, except complex optical systems which could not find practical application, certainly because of their complexity, to the resolution of the vehicle blind spot.

L'invention consiste à adapter de manière simple sur les rétroviseurs de véhicules automobiles, sans en modifier les principes et la technologie actuelle, un petit miroir supplémentaire situé dans le plan du miroir général.  The invention consists in adapting in a simple manner on the mirrors of motor vehicles, without modifying the principles and current technology, a small additional mirror located in the plane of the general mirror.

Ce petit miroir tourne sur un axe vertical, fixé dans des logements cylindriques intégrés au boîtier du rétroviseur.  This small mirror rotates on a vertical axis, fixed in cylindrical housings integrated into the mirror housing.

La commande de la rotation du petit miroir peut s'effectuer soit manuellement avec une tige métallique souple coulissant dans une gaine adaptée dans le boîtier à partir d'une manette, soit électriquement par un micro-moteur disposé sur l'axe de rotation et commandé électriquement à partir d'un interrupteur. Manette ou interrupteur sont intégrés au poste de pilotage à proximité immédiate des commandes du miroir général.  The control of the rotation of the small mirror can be done either manually with a flexible metal rod sliding in a suitable sheath in the housing from a lever, or electrically by a micro-motor arranged on the axis of rotation and controlled electrically from a switch. Joystick or switch are integrated into the cockpit in the immediate vicinity of the controls of the general mirror.

Le conducteur peut ainsi depuis son poste de pilotage modifier l'angle que le petit miroir fait avec le miroir général du rétroviseur pour voir les véhicules en cours de dépassement et qui seraient sans ce dispositif dans l'angle mort de son véhicule.  The driver can thus from his cockpit modify the angle that the small mirror makes with the general mirror of the rear view mirror to see the vehicles being passed and which would be without this device in the blind spot of his vehicle.
