ABSTRACT:
A periscopic mirror for a high degree of visibility for a driver of a vehicle characterized by a structure carrying first and second mirrors and a third set of mirrors, all coordinated so as to present to the driver a view rearwardly and to the sides of the vehicle. The first mirror is a lower and adjustable mirror that can be adjusted by the driver to compensate for disparities in height and sitting positions. The second mirror is disposed so as to reflect the line of sight of the driver from the first mirror onto the third set of mirrors. The third set of mirrors have a central rearview mirror for reflecting rearwardly of the vehicle and right and left wing mirrors for reflecting sidewise and downwardly so as to reflect the view to the left and downward and right and downward sides of the vehicle back to the driver for providing substantially one hundred and eighty degrees of visibility. Also disclosed are preferred embodiments such as transparent sections of a housing, a housing for being affixed exteriorly of the automobile and the like.
