ABSTRACT:
A rear window mirror apparatus for observing blind spot areas to the rear and side of an automobile and to optically transmit visualization thereof to the rear view mirror at the driver's station. Comprising the apparatus is a more or less U-shaped channel-like frame defining an open central cavity in which angled mirrors are secured for receiving outward reflections from blind spot areas and transmitting the reflections through a front wall aperture. A hinged lower support provides an adhesive pad for securing the frame to the window surface at the underside and an upper elongated slotted bar likewise including an adhesive pad provides for mounting the upperside onto the window surface. The longitudinal slot on the bar receives a bolt extending upstanding from the top surface of the frame. By adjusting the slot relative to thebolt the effective length of the bar can be varied to accommodate different window slopes of the various automobile designs for which such a mirror is contemplated. It also enables cooperation with the hinge of the lower support to effect adjusted optical alignment of the mirror surfaces with respect to the transmission path from the frame aperture toward the rear view mirror at the driver's station.
