- the vehicle has side sculpturerrors mounted at its side doors by which a driver
- the side mirrors are rotated using an automatic driving motor in order for the driver can easily secure the rear views.
- FIG. 1 a perspective view of a side rnirror in a conventional vehicle will be below described.
- a front glass has a wiper mounted at its front side that intermittently drives to remove a drop of water in the front glass. Therefore, the front view can be easily secured.
- the reflection area is significantly reduced if the drop of water or the alien substance is formed on the surface of the side rnirror 95. Due to this, there is a
- thermo line unit for
- the thermal line unit makes the drop of water a vapor using the heat generated by an electric power such as a battery, etc.
- the thermal line unit needs lots of time to make the drop of water a vapor.
- the present invention is contrived to solve the above problems and an object of the
- present invention is to provide an air spray unit in a side mirror of a vehicle by which a high- pressure air in the vehicle is sprayed toward the side mirror and a side glass unit in the vehicle, so

- Fig. 4 is a cross-sectional view of
- Fig. 5 shows a state that the side mirror of the vehicle according to the present invention is applied.
- an air spray mean of a vehicle according to the present invention includes a side glass 100 and a side mirror 95.
- the present invention is characterized in that an air compressor 10 for spraying a compressed air is included within the body of the vehicle, and a side glass spray means and a
- side mirror spray means for spraying the compressed air from the air compressor 10 toward
- the side glass 100 and the side mirror 95 are included.
- the side rnirror spray means includes side mirror airflow tubes 25 formed on an outer circumference of the side mirror 95, and a plurality of side mirror spray nozzles 30 formed between the side mirror airflow tubes 25 for spraying the compressed air.
- the side rnirror spray means includes side glass airflow tubes 35 and a connection
- connection element 55 includes a rack gear 40 having an aperture therein and on its lower outer side, latch-fixing jaws 45 projected in a longitudinal direction in a regular distance, screw grooves 50 on its outer side.
- the side mirror spray means includes a spray unit 70 and fixing cap 75.
- the spray unit 70 has latch prominence and depression elements 60 by which they are
- the fixing cap 75 fixes the connection element
- connection element 55 and the latch jaws 60 of the spray unit 70 coupled one another.
- the side mirror spray means includes a driving motor 80 for forward backward rotating the connection element 55 by a controller 20, and a pinion gear 85 geared with the rack gear 40 formed at a lower side of the connection element 55 for
- a cover 90 is formed at a portion where the outer side of the side
- rnirror 95 and the side glass spray means meet.
- the cover 90 and is opened when the side
- the driving motor 80 is forward rotated and thus pushes the spray unit 90 on an upper side of which the side glass spray nozzles 65 are formed toward the outside of the side glass 95 by means of the movement of the pinion gear 85 and the rack gear 40.
- the cover 90 is opened.
- the compressed air is then guided into the side glass airflow tube 35 and the side mirror airflow tubes 25. Next, the compressed air is sprayed through the side glass spray nozzle 65 and the side mirror spray nozzles 30.
- the air spray unit sprays the compressed air
- the air spray unit is intended to remove a drop of water and an alien substance on the side
- the present invention has an outstanding advantage that it allows a drive to drive safely by removing a drop of water or an alien substance.
- the present invention has been described with reference to a particular embodiment in connection with a particular application. Those having ordinary skill in the art and access to the teachings of the present invention will recognize additional modifications and applications within the scope thereof.
