DESC:FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0001] The present subject matter relates to a two-wheeled vehicle. More particularly, the present invention relates to a rear view mirror assembly for the two-wheeled vehicle.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] Conventional rear view mirror assembly are designed to show the area to the side of a two-wheeled vehicle. The rider of the two-wheeled vehicle can generally use the rear view mirror assembly of the vehicle to directly see any structure behind the vehicle by rotating his/her head. The rear view mirror assembly including a left rear view mirror for the left side and a right rear view mirror for the right side , are generally mounted on the handlebars, below eye level, where they are directed to give a rearward view over the rider’s hands and forearms.
[0003] Good rearward vision is critical to safety for two-wheelers riders. This is particularly true when riding in traffic or at high speed, where safety is insured only by constant vigilance and awareness of the whereabouts and movements of surrounding vehicles.Generally, the rear view mirror assembly of the two-wheled vehicle inlcudes the left rear view mirror mounted on left handlebar and the right rear view mirror mounted on right handlebar hence the rear view mirrors are far apart from each other and the rider has to turn his/her eyes and neck to both sides to get full information of the traffic coming from behind. Thus, with the conventional rear view mirrors mounted to the handlebars, rider of the two-wheeled vehicle has to shift his vision to both sides which becomes a safety issue for the rider when at higher speeds.
[0004] In another existing two-wheeled vehicle, a blind spot exists in the road area immediately behind the rider of the vehicle when using conventional rear view mirrors which are designed for automobile side viewing when operatively attached to a vehicle. As a consequence, such conventional rear view mirrors fails to concurrently show the area to the side of the vehicle to the rider along with the area of the road immediately behind the rider when operatively mounted on the vehicle handlebar.
[0005] Hence, with the disadvantages of the conventional rear-view mirrors in the two-wheeled vehicle, it is desirable to provide an improved orientation of the rear-view mirror assembly on the vehicle such that the orientation of the rear-view mirrors on the vehicle can provide the complete view of the information behind and sides of the vehicle and simultaneously covers the blind sport areas. Further, it is needed to provide a modified and improved rear-mirror assembly to be mounted on the vehicle such that while observing the images of the information behind and the sides of the vehicle, the rider has a better and safe riding experience.
