<p>PURPOSE:To irradiate light in a desired direction and over a side surface of an automo bile and all over the surface of a peripheral edge by providing a mirror surface having a semitransparent outer end part on a door mirror, and by emitting light from a lamp composed of a light source in rear of the mirror surface, a reflector and a lens. CONSTITUTION:A semitransparent part 4 having a predetermined area is formed in the outer end section of a mirror surface 4 of a door mirror 2 on a copilot side, and a lamp 8 composed of a light source 5 such as an light bulb or the like, a reflector 6 for converging light from the light source 5 and directing the same to a position to be irradiated, and a lens for giving a light distribution characteristic to light from the light source 5, is disposed in rear of the mirror surface 4. Further, the reflector 6 includes the combination of a converging reflecting surface 6a having a parabolic surface for converging light from the light source 5 and a reflecting surface 6b, and accordingly, the reflector 6 may have a thin shape. Further, the semitransparent part reflects an external view, that is, it serves as a part of the mirror surface when no light is turned on. Since the mirror surface 4 and the lamp are mechanically coupled together in a unit body, they commonly use an optical axis adjusting mechanism 9, thereby it is possible to always observe a position irradiated by the lamp 8 with the use of the mirror surface 4.</p> |
