ABSTRACT:
A rear view mirror for mounting to the windshield of a motor vehicle, comprising a flexible, molded frame having mounted therein a first mirror panel adapted to provide a view to the immediate rear of the vehicle, and an angularly adjustable second mirror panel adapted to provide an independent view to the rear, right side of the vehicle. The frame is formed with a vertically extending web separating the mirror panels from one another and defining a pivot axis for accomodating relative angular movement between the mirror panels. The mirror panels are adapted to be adjusted angularly with respect to one another within prescribed design limits whereby to provide the particular view angles desired to the rear and to the right side of the vehicle through means of an adjustable length arm mechanism which is connected to and between the frame sections to either side of the aforesaid web. The frame sections are further hingedely joined by means of a spring steel metal strap incorporated into the frame in a position to normally bias the mirror panels to a position of alignment with one another, said strap serving to maintain the mirror panels and arm mechanism in a vibration-free, fixed position of adjustment during vehicle operation.
