ABSTRACT:
According to the invention, a detachable extension mirror for mounting on the side-view mirror of the transportation device or vehicle is disclosed. The detachable extension mirror includes a reflective surface, a suction cup, a constraining element and an arm. The suction cup is configured to engage the side-view mirror of the transportation device. A target surface of the side-view mirror defines a first plane and a portion of the suction cup engages the target surface when properly installed. A lip is defined by the distal edge or edges of the portion. A constraining element that engages a back-side of the portion at a point proximate to the lip to force at least part of the lip toward the target surface. An arm couples the suction cup to the reflective surface, where the arm extends away from a second plane, the second plane is defined by a strait-forward direction of the transportation device, the second plane is also defined by being perpendicular to the ground, and the arm extends away from the suction cup at an angle of less than forty-five degrees with respect to either side of the first plane.
