Abstract (en)
[origin: GB2539106A] The invention relates to a lens apparatus which cooperates with a mirror housing 14 on the side of a vehicle body. The lens may be a Fresnel lens 22 which acts to refract incident light from lower and/or forward scenes (Fig 2, B1, B2) obscured from a driver's line of sight (54, 56). The lens 22 may be formed integrally with the mirror housing (Figs. 6a, 6b); or may be retrofitted via resilient straps 30 such that a portion 22d thereof projects beyond a peripheral edge 14d of the mirror housing 14. In the case of the retrofittable version, the plane of the lens relative to the mirror housing may be adjusted via a screw adjustment mechanism 40 connected to the lens 22 proximate two of its corners.
