ABSTRACT:
A rear view mirror device for relatively permanent attachment to a transparent support such as an automotive vehicle windshield. The rear view mirror device comprises a housing holding a light reflective member, such as a mirror, permitting a view rearwardly of the device, a pivoted arm extending rearwardly of the housing and a bracket adapted for attachment to the windshield. A bonding layer is located in the bracket and is rigidly adhered thereto. An intermediate member, such as a plastic layer, is incidental the opposite side of the bonding layer. Fracturable pins are integral with the bonding layer and extend into the intermediate member and which fracturable pins have ends which are adapted for attachment to a transparent support such as a windshield. These fracturable pins are constructed such that upon a high shear force applied to the rear view mirrow device and which high shear force is imposed upon the pins, they will fracture, thereby permitting separation of the bracket and from the transparent support. This bracket is also highly effective for relatively permanent attachment of any device to a glass or transparent supporting surface and which must separate therefrom upon application of a high shear force.
