DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

(7) First, please refer to FIGS. 1-4. A warning light device for a backview mirror comprises: a backview mirror 10 and a warning unit 20. The backview minor 10 has a casing 11 and a minor 12 corresponding to each other. The minor 12 comprises a translucent region 121 allowing the warning unit 20 disposed in the casing 11 to be aligned with the translucent region 121 on the minor 12. Since the minor 12 faces backward, the moving direction of the vehicle is forward. The warning unit 20 has a lighting device 21, an illumination cover 22 and a circuit board 23. The lighting device 21 comprises a containment space 211 and an opening 212 connected to the containment space 211. the circuit board 23 is disposed in the containment space 211 through the opening 212, and a through aperture 213 provided on one side of the lighting device 21 is designed for accepting wires 231 of the circuit board 23. The circuit board 23 further comprises a plurality of the illuminating members 232 behind the opening 212, and the illumination cover 22 further has a translucent plate 221. When the illumination cover 22 covers the lighting device 21, the translucent plate 221 seals the opening 212. A plurality of illumination rods 222 are disposed in the containment space 211 and in front of the translucent plate 221 facing the illuminating member 232. Furthermore, the illumination rod 222 is cone-shaped, secured onto the mirror 12 via the lighting device 21 and keeps the translucent plate 221 facing the translucent region 121.

(8) Moreover, a supporting foot 223 respectively extends from four corners of the translucent plate 221 and is configured to lift the illumination cover 22 in the lighting device 21.

(9) In addition, the circuit board 23 further has four illuminating members 232.

(10) Furthermore, the circuit board 23 further has two red illuminating members 232 and two orange illuminating members 232. When the sensors sense the vehicle approaching, the orange illuminating member 232 is activated; when the sensors sense the vehicle approaching and the driver still puts on changing line signal, the red illuminating member 232 is activated.

(11) Moreover, the illuminating member 232 is a LED lamp.

(12) In actual use, the warning unit 20 is connected to the sensors on both sides of the vehicle. When the rear vehicle enters the blind spot area of the backview mirror 10, the illuminating member 232 can be illuminated by the induction of the sensors, so that the emitted light can be emitted from the translucent region 121 of the mirror 12, to achieve the warning effect to the driver to pay attention. When the illuminating member 232 lights up, it uses the surface of the illumination rod 222 to diffuse the light diffuses evenly around, and the light is emitted from the translucent plate 221 through the translucent region 121. Please refer TO FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, the indirect and uniformly diffused light can greatly reduce the glare used in the night environment and avoid causing fright to the driver.

(13) Although the present invention has been explained in relation to its preferred embodiment, it is to be understood that many other possible modifications and variations can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of invention as hereinafter claimed.
