Abstract
An externally mounted rear view mirror assembly comprising a mirror, lighting means 5, and electrical supply means connected to lighting means and capable of being linked to an electrical indicator system of a vehicle. <IMAGE>
Description
REAR VIEW MIRROR ASSEMBLY 1 The invention relates to indicator lights mounted upon/incorporated
into a Rear View Mirror Assembly support/protective body/and or housing
of a motor car, light delivery or commercial vehicle.
2 Most motor cars and commercial vehicles have1 what used to be called
"Wing Mirrors" and, what may now be described as external Rear View
Mirrors. Normally these are mounted on the front doors, or door surrounds,
on both left and right hand sides of the vehicle. The basic purpose for
these mirrors is to provide the driver/operator with better rear views
down the left and right hand side of the vehicle, without major head
movement away from the line of vision of the direction of the vehicle.
The mirrors are incorporated in variety of support/protective bodies
mounted upon the door frame or surround, the design of which varies in
in accordance with manufacturers requirement. In the more sophisticated
assemblies, the support housing and/or protective body, incorporates
mechanical and electronic devices to allow drivers/operators to adjust
the mirror from within the vehicle, and also, in some cases, provision
of electrical means, so as to allow for the heating of the mirror itself.
In order to give other road users warning of change of direction, most
vehicles provide an internally operated indicator light system. This
consists of flashing indicator lights, incorporated into the external
front and rear light profiles, and in many instances these days, also
provides a small flashing light, mounted upon the lower portion of the
left and right hand side panels of the vehicle body, to the fore of
the front doors. This system is controlled by the driver/operator,
moving an arm/switch, normally mounted upon the steering column, which
directs electrical means to the indicator lighting system.The indicator
lights are normally distinguished from the white main and side light
configuration on the front vehicle light assembly, and the rear light
assemblies of breaking, fog and reversing lights by using amber (or
in some countries red) light surrounds/coverings.
Indication lights, apart from any external reflection, are not normally
visible to the driver/operator. In order to warn driver/operator of
operation of indicator system, small monitor lights (usually green) are
incorporated into the dashboard facilities within the vehicle. Also to
assist drivers on completion of directional moves, an automatic return
"off switch" mechanism is linked to the steering column. Normally an
audible warning device is fitted to the direction indicator system,
sounding when the system is operating.
There would appear to be a few shortcomings to the indicator light system:
a) When direction change, and consequent steering column movement, is
small, for example, when overtaking or changing lanes, the automatic
"off switch" often does not function, which results in the indication
system remaining incorrectly active.
b) The internal dashboard monitor lights, are not always visible to
driver, vision being impared by driving wheel and or drivers/operators
hands.
c) The efficiency of modern vehicle lighting, at a distance, amber
direction lights are often rendered indistinguishable from other white/
/red lights on front/rear lighting assemblies.
d) When vehicles are in close lateral proximity, i.e. in traffic queues,
the view of indicator systems at front, rear and side are often not
visible to car drivers and operators of high positioned commercial
vehicles.
REAR VIEW MIRROR ASSEMBLY
e) The audible warning system is often rendered inaudible, due to
moving road noise, engine pitch, and radio volume.
3 According to the present invention, there is provided an externally
mounted rear view mirror assembly comprising a mirror, lighting means,
and an electrical supply means connected to the lighting means and
capable of being linked to an electrical indicator system of a vehicle.
Preferably the lighting means comprises a bulb surrounded on one or more
sides by a translucent cover.
Preferably, the translucent cover is amber coloured
In a preferred embodiment the lighting means is attached to a protective
means, which protective means surrounds at least part of the periphery
of the mirror.
Preferably, the lighting means is positioned so as not to cause excessive
distractive glare to an operator when the assembly is positioned on a
vehicle.
Preferably the lighting means is positioned so as to provide external
monitoring effect to operator of the vehicle.
4 The specific embodiment of the invention is now described by way of the
example with reference to the accompanying drawings which show
