ARTICULATED ARM OF THE REAR MIRROR.

Abstract

The invention refers to the articulated arm of the rear mirror for cars, bicycles and/or to that of an additional internal car rear mirror suitable for efficients uncounting where on the involved of luide the car and allowing for simple adjustment of the viewing position. The articulated rear mirror arms refencal to in this invention allow for simple adjustment and inserting of the selected position by means of the articulated parts including the rod shaped structure of the carrier elements (1,14), the intermediate connection elements (2, 15) and the fixing elementst (3, 16). The mirror (4) is with its time (5) fixed to one end of the intermediate contection elements thereby forming an articulation.

The invention refers to the articulated arm o the rear mirror, above all for oars, bicycles and/or motors or to that of an additional internal car rear mir or, suitable for efficient mounting either on the handlebar or inside the car and allowing for simple adjustment of the vie ving position. 1 he technical problem successfully solved by the invention in question invclves the design and the construction of such articulated rear mirror arm that will allow for simple and quick mounting of the rear mirror as well as fur smooth adjustment of the appropriate ang: and position of the rear mirror without requiring the application of any additional tool. With. the Known versions of rear mirror arms designed for mountiuy either in or on the handle of the bicycle, motor etc., the mirror is usually mounted on a short or long rod, provided on the other end with an appropriate fixing mechanism, depending on the fixing mode and on the available possibility Such construction of the rear mirror arm, however, arvolves several deficiencies. Beside the act that the possibility of adjustment of the appropriate mirror positior is very limited, the screw- type links between the mirror housing and the fixing clamp often require the application of appropriate tools, e.g, a screw-driver or a special spanner Moreover, such mirror cannot be easlly folced and/or removed in case or storage or riding through a narrow corridor. Some better solutions guaranteed by the articulated arms where the roil is divided into two parts, so that it can be more easily foided With this solution the problem of simple adjustment an 1 arrestino of the salacted position is not completely solved either, because individual articulations art joined by screws that need to be released before the adjustment and tightened after the adjustment by using approprate tools. 1 he articulated rear mirror arm referred to n this invention allows for simple adjustment and arrestino of the selected pesition by means of the articulated parts including the rod shaped strure of tho carrier element, the intermediate connection element and the filing element. The mirror is with its frame fixed, to. one end of the intermediate connection- element. thersby forming an articulation. The invention will be explained in detail with reference to the concrete exanple and the respective figures whereof: Figure 1 shows the rear mirror along with the articulated arm referred to ;n this invention, according to the first example, shown as a cross-section, Figure 2 shows the rear mirror along with the articulated arm referred to in this invention, according to he second example, shown as a cross-section, The articulated nelha allafered in this invention and in the and in the example, such as shown as a crcss-section in Figure 1, cousists of a rod shaped structuie of the carrier element 1, the inturmediate connection lelement 2 and-the fixing element 3 The mirror 4 is with its frame 5 fixed to one end of the internediate connection element 2, thereby forming an articulation. Asa matter of fact, the carrier element 1 of the articulated arm is a round profile rod bent under a 90° angle, prcvided on one end with a Siar ting edge whereto there fits snuggly under he same angle a slanting end of the fixing element 3 that consists of a sheft cylindrical pin 6' moved by means of a screw-type link 7 along the slanting edge of the carrier elerr ent 1 in order to obtain a firm eontaot of the fixing wlemeru a with the inter or of the control provided for fixing of the whole arm. The initial mounting of such rear mirror arm, however, requires appropriate tools, e.g. it screw-driver, but it requires no disassembling On the other end the carrier clement 1 is provided with two sliglilly concel springs 8, ending into a thick edge 9 The springs 8 fit into the ho© 10 on one end of the- intermediate connection element. 2, provided with the element 11 into which the thick edge 9 fits upon the Insertion of the springs 8 into the borehole 10. In this marner we get an inseparable contact of the carrier eienen! 1 and the intarrrsdiate connection element 2 whereof the reciprocal position is easily adjustable, while the reciprocal linl is sufficiently stiff. On the other end of the intermediate conncetion clement 2 there are also the two springs 6, ending in a thick edge y that fits into the hole 12 on :he handle bar 13 of the frame 5. The size of the two springs 8' are har nonized with the gauge of the handle bar 13 in the way that after the instration of the springs 8' the respective thick edge 9' extends outside the hole 12, which again provides for an inseparable contact of the intermediate connection element 2 and of the frame 5. whereby their reciprocal position, is. easily adjustable, while the respective link- is- suffciently stiff. Tie articaleted mead mirror arm reTerred to in this invention and in exanple II, such as shown as a cross-section h. Figure 2, consists, of- a rod shaped structure of the carrier elemert 14, the intermediate concertion element 15 and tne tixing element 10. The mirror 4 is with its frarns 5 fixed to one end of the intermediate connection element 15, there by forming an articulation As a matter of fact, the carrier element 14 of the articulated arm is a round profile provided on both ends with two slightly conical springs 17, ending into a thick edge 18. The springs 17 on ona end lie contrary to trie springs 18 on the other end of the carrier element 14, shifted for a 90° anticle. On onfi end tne springs 17 fit into the co. responding hole 19 on the fixing element 16. provided with the element 2( into which the thick edge 18 fits upon the insertion of the springs 17 into the borehole 19. In this ma mer we get an inseparable contact of the ca Tier element 14 and of the fixit g element ' 6 whereof the reciprocal pas tion is easily adjustable, whi e the respective link is sufficiently stiff. The fixing element 16 is provided on one end with a flat surface 21 that can he tightened by screw, stuck or otherwise fi>ed to a flat surface C n the other end the earner element 14 is provided with two slightly con cal springs 17. ending into a thick edge 18. The springs 17 fit into the hols 22 on ond and of the intermediate connection element 15, provided with the element 23 into which the thick edge 18 fits upon the insertion of the springs 17 into the borehole 22. In this manr er we get an inseparable centaot of the carrier elemeni 14 and the intermediate connection element 15 Whereof the reciprocal position is easily adjustable, while the reciprocal bok is sufficiently stim. 01 the other end of the intermediate connect; an element 15 there are also the two springs 17', ending In a thick edge 18 that fits into the hole 25 o 1 the handle bar 24 of the frame 5, The size of the two springs 17' are harmonized with the- gauge of the handle far 24 in the way that after the insertion of the springs 17' the respective thick edge 19' extends outside the hole 25, which again provides for an inseparable contact of the intermediate connection element 15 and of the frame 5. whereby their rec procal position, is easily adjustable, wh!e the reciprocal link is suf iciently stiff WE CLAIM : The articulated rear mirror arm where the Mirror 4 is with its frame 5 ixed to one end of the intermediate conn action element 2. thereby forming an articulation, characterized in that v. consists of a rod structure of the carrier element (1,14), of the Intelmediate connection element (2,15) and cf the fixing part (3,16). he- articulated- rear mirror arm according to claim 1, sharacterized in that on both ends the carrier element (1.1) and the intermediate connection element (2. 15) are provided with slightly conical springs (3,8', 17,17), ending into a thick edge (9,9,18 18), whereby the springs 8,8,17.17') fil into the corresponding hale (10 12,10.22.20) on the other end to be joined. The invention refers to the articulated arm of the rear mirror for cars, bicycles and/or to that of an additional internal car rear mirror suitable for efficients uncounting where on the involved of luide the car and allowing for simple adjustment of the viewing position.
