ABSTRACT:
An elongate, arcuate mirror is provided with a lightweight, aerodynamic back support and is particularly designed for use with school busses. One of the mirrors is located above each front fender of the school bus to enable the driver to have visual access to the area in front of the bus hood as well as to the sides of the bus. The mirror has a transparent sheet with a generally convex surface and a generally concave surface, with a reflective coating preferably on the concave surface. The back support includes a thin, lightweight sheet having a generally convex side and a generally concave side with a backing rim conforming to the size and shape of a rim of the transparent sheet and being affixed thereto. The convex side of the back support provides a streamlined effect for the mirror, particularly when mounted on a front fender. The convex side also has an elongate groove therein with bracket means affixed thereto to receive a tubular member of a metal mounting support which mounts the mirror on the fender of the bus.
