==VEHICLE OUTER MIRROR - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240278721 titled 'VEHICLE OUTER MIRROR

The abstract describes a patent application for a vehicle outer mirror with an outer lens that includes a protruding portion extending towards the vehicle's outer side, beyond a cover that conceals a light source on the outer side of the mirror. The mirror also features a light guiding lens with a main body portion that extends further along the inner face of the outer lens at the rear of the vehicle than the protruding portion. An intermediate portion of the main body is separated from the inner face of the protruding portion towards the inner side of the vehicle width direction, and includes an outer-side extending portion that branches from the rear portion of the main body and runs along the inner face of the protruding portion, guiding light from the light source.

* The vehicle outer mirror includes an outer lens with a protruding portion and a light guiding lens.
* The protruding portion extends towards the vehicle's outer side, beyond a cover for the light source.
* The light guiding lens has a main body portion that extends further along the inner face of the outer lens at the rear of the vehicle.
* An outer-side extending portion of the light guiding lens branches from the main body and runs along the inner face of the protruding portion, guiding light from the source.
* This design enhances the visibility and functionality of the vehicle outer mirror.
