Abstract: An extendable rearview mirror assembly for a vehicle includes a mirror housing for attachment to the vehicle. The mirror assembly includes a mirror frame disposed within the mirror housing in an inboard position and slidably movable from the inboard position to an outboard position relative to the mirror housing. The extendable rearview mirror assembly includes a first mirror disposed in the mirror frame and a second mirror disposed in the mirror housing and concealed behind the first mirror in the inboard position and exposed in the outboard position for providing improved lateral rearward viewing to an operator of the vehicle. A detent mechanism retains the first mirror in the inboard position.

Abstract: An exterior rearview mirror assembly for a vehicle including an extendable mirror for improved rearward viewing is disclosed. Several embodiments of the rearview mirror assembly each comprise a mirror housing, a mirror disposed in the mirror housing, and some structure to allow extension of the mirror between an inboard position and an outboard position. In one embodiment, the mirror assembly includes structure to allow rotation of the mirror between inboard and outboard positions. The mirror may comprise a post disposed in a mirror shell and extending along a longitudinal horizontal axis which extends through a plane defined by the mirror, offset from a central vertical axis of the mirror. In another embodiment, the means for rotating the mirror comprises a pivot part having a shaft disposed in an aperture in the mirror shell, which is disposed along the longitudinal horizontal axis.

The structure for extending the mirror can include a groove in the mirror housing in which the mirror frame is slidably disposed. The frame may be slid relative to the mirror housing from the inboard position to the outboard position.

Abstract: A deck base for mounting a seat on a deck of a boat is molded from plastic as a single part. A downwardly extending tube receives a pedestal mount from the seat. Structural support is provided to this tube, including a concentric outer tube, and frusto-conical supporting web. The plate portion of the deck base has a caulking groove at its outer periphery.
