The photograph below shows a simple prototype version of the new spoiler.

You can see into the blind spot behind your car when you are reversing using our our novel boot top spoiler which incorporates a cluster of micro prisms across its width. These bend light from the blind spot behind the vehicle, towards the drivers rear view mirror. This spoiler is far more effective than the wide angle lenses commonly mounted on vehicle rear windows, because it is positioned at the very edge of your car boot, directly above the blind spot.

Patent No GB2254590

This invention helps to prevent careless drivers ramming into the back of your car. It allows you to display a range of warning messages on the rear of your vehicle for other drivers to read.

Messages include: Keep Your Distance, Help-Call Police, On Tow, Accident Ahead etc. The "Keep Your Distance" message may be activated by an infra red distance sensing device.

The invention is essentially an improved version of the basic rear view spoiler. It uses the same optical system of micro-prisms to also carry out a second task: re-directing light rays emitted by a light emitting horizontal display board, mounted underneath the basic rear view spoiler. The display board could be, for example, an array of light emitting diodes.

Patent No GB2270587
