ABSTRACT:
A oscillating side view mirror including a mirror housing that is supported on a side of a vehicle by a generally rectangular support arm. A motor is mounted within a hollow interior of the support arm, and a drive wheel. The motor has a pair of contact wires that are in electrical communication with a turn signal of the vehicle by a relay. A mirror is positioned within the housing. The mirror is supported within the housing by a backing plate with a rotation rod extending therethrough. Lastly, a generally rectangular arm is attached to the drive wheel of the motor, and a oscillating member that is attached to the rotation rod. The arm is capable of causing the mirror to rotate back and forth within the mirror housing, when the motor is activated by a turn signal of the vehicle sending an electrical current through the relay.
