Abstract:
An auxiliary side view mirror assembly is mountable to a cover portion of a conventional side view mirror as may be preinstalled on an outside of a variety of different automobiles. The assembly comprises a base configured to clamp onto a portion of the conventional side view mirror cover. A frontward portion of the base may form a ridge defining a mounting surface configured to retain a mirror. An auxiliary mirror may be set in a frame comprising a back side opposite a reflective surface of the auxiliary mirror, and an arm, securable to the mounting surface, may extend outward from the back side of the frame. When coupled to the mounting surface by way of the arm, the auxiliary mirror may be adjustable, relative to its mounted position, according to the needs of the driver and may be operative to reduce blind spots otherwise experienced by the driver.
