ABSTRACT:
An accessory mirror apparatus that can be mounted on the tailgate, trunk, rear window or other part of a tow vehicle, and oriented to enable the driver of the tow vehicle to see a reflection of the trailer tongue in the mirror while backing up. The apparatus includes a convex mirror rotatably mounted in a bracket. The bracket extends downwardly from the mirror in a pair of elongate leg portions, each of which includes a lockable hinge member which enables the leg portion to be folded. Each leg portion extends downwardly to a first U-shaped bend, then upwardly to a second U-shaped bend, such that the combination of the first and second bends provides a hook member for hanging on tailgates. Each leg portion terminates in a suction cup member to be used for installation on other vehicle applications.
