Patent ID: 8491170

Claim:
A multifunction rear-view mirror arrangement for vehicles comprising: a wing frame ( 1 ), provided with an inner surface (iF) and an outer surface (eF), that defines a first opening (mO) oriented rearwards relative to the vehicle's axis ( 500 ) of circulation and has a rear-viewing element, mirror and/or camera in said opening, an outside cover (eC) formed by selectable and combinable structural parts among at least one or several casing covers (C, C 1 +C 2 ) or, in part, a supplementary casing cover or a face surface of a structure or device adjacent to said frame, or a single-piece casing that includes said frame ( 1 ), a first blinking device (A 1 ) with its own light source (iN), adapted to emit a luminous signal that is, at least, a turning signal directed rearwards and to the side of said vehicle and which occupies, with a transparent or translucent external surface (s 30 ), a portion of said wing frame or a portion of the adjacent outside cover, or a portion of both associated parts—the wing frame and the outside cover, a second opening (fO), which is at least one, located in said outside cover, characterised in that at least a second blinking device (A 2 ) lacking its own light source and independent in construction from the first blinking device, occupies, with a transparent or translucent external surface ( 10 ) delimiting it, said second opening (fO) occupying, with at least one internal cavity (iC) housing a supporting opaque body ( 13 ) with internal reflective optical means ( 11 , 11 a , 11 b , 12 , 14 ), said internal cavity (iC) being associated to said transparent external surface ( 10 ), which provides at least one light input ( 9 i ) received from at least one light output ( 9 e ) of said first blinking device (A 1 ) so that an optical coupling ( 9 , 9 e , 9 i ) takes place through which said blinking device (A 2 ) receives at least one conjoint beam ( 22 ) of light transmitted from the light source (iN) of said first blinking device (A 1 ), so as to emit, by means of internal reflection ( 22 r ), a luminous signal, analogous to that of the first device, through said transparent or translucent external surface ( 10 ) visible on the front and the side of said vehicle.
