Abstract
A wide-angle auxiliary mirror includes a lining plate embedded into a concave curved surface of the wide-angle auxiliary mirror and having an outer diameter smaller than that of the wide-angle auxiliary mirror, a convex curved surface protruded from an end of the lining plate and facing the concave curved surface, and the opposite end of the convex curved surface has a plane. The convex curved surface is fixed to the concave curved surface, and a double-sided adhesive is set on the plane for fixing a rearview mirror. Therefore, the convex curved surface and the concave curved surface as well as the plane and the rearview mirror are fixed with each other in a whole-surface-fitting manner, so that the wide-angle auxiliary mirror is fixed onto the rearview mirror securely and integrally.

A wide-angle auxiliary mirror structure, having a convex curved mirror surface on one side and a concave curved surface on the other opposite side, characterized in that a lining plate is embedded into the concave curved surface, and the lining plate has an outer diameter smaller than the outer diameter of the wide-angle auxiliary mirror, and the lining plate has a convex curved surface protruded from an end of the lining plate and facing the concave curved surface and a plane disposed at the opposite end of the convex curved surface; and the convex curved surface is fixed to the concave curved surface, and the plane has a double-sided adhesive disposed thereon for fixing a rearview mirror.
2. The wide-angle auxiliary mirror structure according to claim 1, wherein the convex curved surface has an outer curvature matched with the inner curvature of the concave curved surface, so that the convex curved surface and the concave curved surface can be fixed to each other in a whole-surface-fitting manner.
3. The wide-angle auxiliary mirror structure according to claim 1, wherein the convex curved surface and concave curved surface have another double-sided adhesive adhered and fixed therebetween.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
[0020] With reference to FIGS. 8 and 9 for a wide-angle auxiliary mirror in accordance with the first embodiment of the present invention, the wide-angle auxiliary mirror 7 is in a circular shape, and has a convex curved mirror surface 70 on one side and a concave curved surface 71 on the other opposite side. A lining plate 72 is embedded into the concave curved surface 71 and has an outer diameter smaller than the outer diameter of the wide-angle auxiliary mirror 7, and a convex curved surface 720 is protruded from an end of the lining plate 72 and facing the concave curved surface 71, wherein the convex curved surface 720 has an outer curvature matched with the inner curvature of the concave curved surface 71, so that the convex curved surface 720 and the concave curved surface 71 can be attached to each other in a whole-surface-fitting manner; and the opposite end of the convex curved surface 720 of the lining plate 72 is a plane 721. Both of the convex curved surface 720 and the plane 721 have a double-sided adhesive tape 73a, 73b separately, and the double-sided adhesive tape 73a is used for adhering the convex curved surface 720 with the concave curved surface 71, and the double-sided adhesive tape 73b is used for adhering the plane 721 with a mirror surface 80 of the rearview mirror 8, so that a whole-surface-fitting adhesion can be achieved between the convex curved surface 720 and the concave curved surface 71 and between the plane 721 and the mirror surface 80 of the rearview mirror 8 (as shown in FIG. 9), and the wide-angle auxiliary mirror 7 can be fixed to the rearview mirror 8 securely. In addition, the wide-angle auxiliary mirror 7 is fixed to the rearview mirror 8 without any frame, so that both of them have high integrity.
[0021] Since the outer diameter of the lining plate 72 is smaller than the outer diameter of the wide-angle auxiliary mirror 7, therefore after the double-sided adhesive tape 73b is combined with the mirror surface 80 of the rearview mirror 8, an edge of the wide-angle auxiliary mirror 7 is attached to the mirror surface 80 without any gap, and the wide-angle auxiliary mirror 7 is fixed onto the mirror surface 80 of the rearview mirror 8, and both of them have high integrity.
[0022] With reference to FIGS. 10 and 11 for a wide-angle auxiliary mirror 9 in accordance with the second embodiment of the present invention, the wide-angle auxiliary mirror 9 is in a square shape, and has a convex curved mirror surface 90 on a side and a concave curved surface 91 on the other opposite side. A lining plate 92 is embedded into the concave curved surface 91, wherein the lining plate 92 has an outer diameter smaller than that of the wide-angle auxiliary mirror 9, and a convex curved surface 920 is protruded from an end of the lining plate 92 and facing the concave curved surface 91, and the convex curved surface 920 has an outer curvature matched with an inner curvature of the concave curved surface 91, so that the convex curved surface 920 and the concave curved surface 91 can be attached to each other in a whole-surface-fitting manner. The opposite end of the convex curved surface 920 of the lining plate 92 is a plane 921. Both of the convex curved surface 920 and the plane 921 have a double-sided adhesive tape 93a, 93b separately, and the double-sided adhesive 93a is used to adhere the convex curved surface 920 with the concave curved surface 91, and the double-sided adhesive 93b is used to adhere the plane 921 with the mirror surface 80 of the rearview mirror 8, so that a whole-surface-fitting adhesion can be achieved between the convex curved surface 920 and the concave curved surface 91 and between the plane 921 and the mirror surface 80 of the rearview mirror 8 (as shown in FIG. 11).
[0023] The lining plate of the present invention has the effect of fixing the wide-angle auxiliary mirror onto the mirror surface of the rearview mirror more securely, and providing better integrity of the wide-angle auxiliary mirror and the rearview mirror.
[0024] In summation of the description above, the present invention complies with the patent application requirements, and is duly submitted to the Patent and Trademark Office for review and granting of commensurate patent rights.
