ABSTRACT:
The invention involves a new mirror assembly for large vehicles that enables a mirror to be mounted upward from the vehicle in a first orientation providing a field of view adjacent to the vehicle, and readily adjusted into a second orientation wherein the mirror is outward from the vehicle providing a field of view for behind the vehicle. The assembly includes a rear-view mirror assembly comprising a mirror, a mirror housing, a bracket for mounting the assembly to a vehicle, and a linkage connecting the bracket to the housing. The linkage can be easily rotated relative to the bracket. The mirror housing can be readily disengaged from and reengaged to the linkage thereby enabling a reorientation of the assembly relative to the vehicle. By so doing, an oblong mirror can be mounted to the vehicle in one orientation for driving, disengaged and reengaged in a second orientation for rearward movement of the vehicle.
The linkage between the bracket and the housing is so designed to engage the bracket in multiple mounting orientations, where the first preferred orientation is different from the second preferred orientation. The linkage comprises an arm secured to the housing, and a cantilever between the arm and the bracket. The cantilever is rotatable relative to the bracket, and the arm is revolvable relative to the cantilever.
