ABSTRACT:
A mounting assembly for a school bus mirror is provided. The mounting assembly is particularly designed for a front view mirror wherein the driver can have visual access to the area in front of the bus hood which is hidden from direct view. The mounting assembly includes one upright, generally Z-shaped tubular arm and one tubular brace. A lower leg of the tubular arm is frictionally mounted on the side of the bus fender by two one-piece brackets. The tubular brace has one end mounted on the front of the bus and has a slot at the other end which is frictionally connected to an intermediate leg of the main arm by a brace clamp. The configuration of the main arm enables the mirror to be in a position to provide the necessary front visual access. The slotted brace and bracket arrangement enable the main arm to yield and swing rearwardly in the event an object is encountered. The mounting assembly is adaptable for a variety of bus configurations, is relatively inexpensive, and comprises relatively few pieces.
