Patent ID: 7001032

Claim:
An automobile rear view mirror comprising: a mirror structure having a primary reflective surface and three secondary reflective surfaces; said mirror structure having a normal positionment wherein the primary reflective surface has a vertical orientation; said primary reflective surface being flat in both the vertical plane and the horizontal plane, whereby the image generated by said primary reflective surface is undistorted; said secondary reflective surfaces comprising a first relatively large reflective surface having a trapezoidal shape, and second and third relatively small reflective surfaces having triangular shapes; said first, trapezoidal reflective surface being contiguous to the primary reflective surface; said second and third, triangular reflective surfaces being contiguous to said first, trapezoidal reflective surface; said first, trapezoidal reflective surface having a curved convex curvature in the horizontal plane and a flat configuration in the vertical planes, whereby the image generated by said trapezoidal reflective surface is undistorted in the vertical plane; said second, triangular reflective surface extending downwardly from said trapezoidal reflective surface; said third, triangular reflective surface extending upwardly from said trapezoidal reflective surface; said second and third reflective surfaces having curved convex curvatures in the vertical plane.
