Rear monitoring device for vehicle

Abstract

A rear monitoring device for a vehicle capable of being installed in the interior of a vehicle to enable a driver to observe therethrough the area to the rear of the vehicle. The rear monitoring device includes an optical mechanism and a mounting structure for mounting the optical mechanism on the inner surface of a rear window glass to cause the optical mechanism to form an image of the area to the rear of the vehicle and transfer the image to the driver. The mounting mechanism includes a bendable mounting member which is formed of a metal sheet into a substantially L or Z shape and serves to mount the optical mechanism on the vehicle therethrough and an adhesion element for bonding the bendable mounting member to the rear window glass. The bendable mounting member may be so deformable that an angle of the optical mechanism with respect to the rear window glass may be variably set.
