ABSTRACT:
A mounting for a rear view mirror comprises a bracket member to be fastened to a vehicle door or body surface, a coupling member joined with the bracket member so that the coupling member can be set about a horizontal axis for any desired angle of protrusion from the bracket member, and a mirror supporting arm connected with the coupling member and normally latched in a protruded viewing position but releasably latched so that the arm will be turned about a vertical axis and thus folded toward the vehicle under an abnormal force at its outer end, such as an impact against the supported mirror head. The mounting structure serves for a mirror installed on either side of a vehicle, reducing the hazards of outboard mirrors such as those required for trucks or trailers.
