ABSTRACT:
A dual rear view mirror unit for motor vehicles is disclosed. The unit comprises a mounting frame having an upper and a lower rear view mirror thereon. Each of the mirrors is independently adjustable. The upper mirror and lower mirror are positioned so as to define a substantial gap between them. This allows the operator of the motor vehicle unobstructed lateral vision. The lower mirror is mounted on the frame so that its upper edge is beneath the lateral line of vision of the operator. Likewise the upper mirror is mounted on the frame so that its lower edge is substantially above the said lateral line of vision. With this construction the upper edge of the upper mirror protrudes substantially above the cab of the truck. The upper mirror is tilted so that its upper end inclines toward the rear of the truck. This substantially aids in the dissipation of fog and rain which may accumulate on the upper mirror's surface.
The unit is illustrated for use on a large truck where problems of water and dirt thrown up by the wheels of both the mirror-equipped vehicle and oncoming vehicles is particularly acute.
