Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea]

0001

[Industrial application field]

This idea was developed into a foldable rearview mirror device for large trucks. It is related to

0002

[Conventional technology]

An example of a conventional rearview mirror device for a large truck is shown in the side view of the main part of a truck in Figure 3. As shown in the figure.

0003 In Fig. 3, 1 is the truck, 2 is the driver's seat body, and 3 is the leading edge frame of the body 2. The frame 4 is formed in a similar U-shape, and its both ends 4a are fixed to the front edge frame 2. 4b is a frame for attaching a rearview mirror that extends diagonally forward. -4 is a supporting metal fitting fixed at a desired position of 4b, and a rearview mirror is attached to this supporting metal fitting 4b. -5 is rotatably supported.

0004 In the above configuration, the driver can orient the rearview mirror 5 in the direction that is easiest for the driver to see. adjustment.

[0005]

[Problem that the idea aims to solve]

However, since the conventional example is configured as described above, the rearview mirror 5 The mounting position is fixed, and the frame 4 itself is mounted diagonally forward from the side of the body 2. Because it is installed overhanging the There were problems such as the impossibility of parking in narrow spaces.

[0006] This idea was made to solve the problems of the conventional example as mentioned above. When driving, extend the rearview mirror to the most visible position for safe driving and long-term When parking a car or entering a narrow space, the rearview mirror can be folded and held along the body. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a rearview mirror device for trucks that can perform the following functions.

[0007]

[Means to solve the problem]

Therefore, the truck rearview mirror device according to this invention is suitable for truck driving. It is held and fixed at multiple points on both sides of the front edge of the seat body, and has a similar U-shaped shape at the front. A frame for attaching a rearview mirror formed in a shape that overhangs, and a frame on top of this frame. Fixed at the tip of the edge at intervals that follow the frame dimensions and in positions that overlap each other vertically. One end of each hinge plate can be rotated. is supported by a shaft and the other ends are formed so as to face each other at a desired distance. A supporting metal fitting, and one end is rotatably clamped and fastened to the opposite tip of this supporting metal fitting. A rearview mirror retaining member with a ball joint at the end and this retaining member. A rearview mirror that is suspended from the ball joint and is rotatably held in a desired direction. At the same time, at least one of the two hinge plates is cut. By bending and forming the other ends so that they face each other at a desired distance. , which seeks to achieve the above objectives.

[0008]

[Effect]

The rearview mirror device for trucks according to this invention configured as described above is suitable for driving. Sometimes, both ends of the rotatable hinge plate are rotated to the position where the driver can see it most easily. After positioning the support bracket and holding and fixing the rearview mirror, attach this rearview mirror to the rearview mirror. Rotate the rearview mirror in the desired direction using the roll joint to set the position of the rearview mirror. It will be done. And if you need to park for a long time or enter a narrow space, there is a hinge plate. Unfasten both ends of the rearview mirror, fold the hinge plate and support bracket, and By holding it along the body, the parking space is reduced and it is possible to Access to the location will allow parking.

【Example】

An embodiment of this invention will be described below based on the drawings. (composition) Figure 1 is a perspective view of the main parts of a truck showing one embodiment of this invention, and Figure 2 is the embodiment described above. FIG. 2 is a side view and a plan view of a main part configuration of a rearview mirror device of FIG. Note that the same or equivalent parts as in the conventional example are represented by the same reference numerals.

0010 In Figures 1 and 2, 1A is a truck and 4A is a frame for attaching a rearview mirror. 5A is a rearview mirror whose upper part is supported by a ball joint 9, 6a, 6b are fixed to the tip of the upper edge of the frame 4A by welding, etc., in positions that overlap each other vertically. The hinge plate 7a is rotated with a bolt etc. into the hole d of the upper hinge plate 6a. The support fitting 7b, which is pivotably supported, is also fitted into the hole d of the lower hinge plate 6b. It is rotatably supported by the bolt shown in the figure, and the tip is bent into the desired shape in the middle. are formed at the tip of the hinge plate 6a so as to face each other approximately parallel to each other with a desired spacing. One end of the supporting metal fitting 8 is formed into a plate shape, and this plate-shaped portion 8a is connected to the supporting metal fittings 7a, 7b. is rotatably supported and clamped by a bolt in a hole d on a parallel plane F at the tip thereof, and a bolt is attached to the other end. This is a holding member that suspends and holds the ball joint 9 fixedly. A rearview mirror 5A is rotatably held on the seat 9. This ball joint 9 is waterproofed with a waterproof cover (not shown).

[0011] (motion) The operation will be explained based on the above configuration.

0012 First, loosen the bolts of the support fittings 7a, 7b, and connect the support fittings 7a, 7b and the holding member 8. Make it rotatable.

[0013] Next, extend these outwards from each other so that the driver can see the rear most clearly. After positioning, tighten the bolts to fix the positions of the support fittings 7a, 7b and the holding member 8. Set.

[0014] Furthermore, the direction of the rearview mirror 5A can be freely rotated using the ball joint 9. By doing this, the rearview mirror 5A is set while maintaining the optimum position and direction. Ru.

[0015] If the truck will be parked in a parking lot for a long period of time, loosen the aforementioned bolts and Fold the holders 7a, 7b and the holding member 8, and also ball join the rearview mirror 5A. By rotating the track with the toe 9 and aligning it with the body 2, the truck will fit the width of the vehicle. Since they can be stored close together, parking space can be used effectively.

[0016] Also, if the rearview mirror 5A remains in its normal position, it can be used in narrow spaces that cannot be entered. If you need to put your car in, fold the rearview mirror 5A in the same way and use it to guide people. Therefore, it becomes possible to enter the vehicle and perform cargo handling and parking in narrow spaces.

[0017] In this embodiment, the upper support fitting 7a is shaped like a flat plate, but the support fitting 7a and 7b upside down, the height of the rearview mirror 5A can be changed. The height of the rearview mirror 5A can be adjusted depending on the sitting height of the driver, and The supporting metal fittings 7a, 7 are formed by bending only the supporting metal fittings 7b with the supporting metal fittings 7a on a flat plate. Although the tips of b are opposed to each other at a predetermined interval, the present invention is not limited to this. Bend the holder appropriately so that the ends face each other at the desired position. Also good.

[0018]

[Effect of the idea]

As explained above, according to this invention, there are two One end of the support bracket can be rotated by fixing the hinge plate on the hinge plate. The holding member is rotatably clamped and held at the other end, and this holding member is A ball joint is installed at the tip of the member, and the rearview mirror is attached to this ball joint. Since it is held suspended, the rearview mirror can be extended and positioned in the optimal position when driving. Moreover, you can rotate and hold the rearview mirror in the desired direction for safe driving. In addition, when parking in a parking lot for a long period of time or driving into a narrow space, If it becomes necessary to carry out loading/unloading or parking, fold the support fittings and retaining members. At the same time, by rotating the rearview mirror using a ball joint, the The rearview mirror is held in a state that almost matches the width of the body along the It makes effective use of space and enables cargo handling and parking in narrow spaces.
