Bracket supported side view mirror system

Claim 1

A vehicle side view mirror assembly comprising: two spaced mirror segments, one vertically disposed above the other, each mirror segment being contained in a substantially vertical plane, the two planes being disposed at a small acute angle one in respect to the other; each mirror segment comprising a frame in which a mirror is securely carried, the two mirror frames being juxtaposed but spaced from each other without direct connection; first bracket means rigidly and non-adjustably connected to the back of the top mirror frame; second bracket means rigidly and non-adjustably connected to the back of the bottom mirror frame; frame means by which the assembly is firmly secured to the outside of a vehicle at the side thereof, the frame means comprising separate cantilever means by which each mirror bracket means are connected to and supported by the frame means; the separate cantilevered means each defining at least one anchor site spaced a substantial distance from the associated mirror frame about which the associated mirror segment may be independently manually rotated; whereby one mirror accommodates reflective viewing of other vehicles substantially to the rear and the other mirror accommodates reflective viewing of vehicles substantially in the operator's blind spot.
