  • Publication number: 20040120056
    Abstract: A driver side and passenger side exterior rearview mirror system for After Market or new vehicles to provide an adequate display of vehicles in the regular view area, the overtaking area, and the blind spot area in one single contiguous mirror. This is all done with three flat plane mirror sections with different degree planes connected with multiple narrow strip flat plane transition sections with degree changes of ½ to 1 degree each to avoid noticeable view gaps and distortion, similar to rapid still pictures in movies causing still objects to appear to be moving. This produces a large mirror display area and positioned so that the driver instantly understands the situation in the entire area behind his frontal view including the blind spot area along with overtaking vehicles and the regular viewing area.

  • Patent number: 6270225
    Abstract: A left hand and right hand sideview mirror system for vehicles to provide an adequate display of vehicles in the regular view area, the overtaking area, and the blind spot area in one single contiguous mirror. This is all done with three flat plane mirror sections with different degree planes connected with multiple narrow flat plane transition sections with degree changes of ½ to 1 degree each to avoid noticeable view gaps and distortion. This produces a large mirror display area and positioned so that the driver instantly understands the situation in the entire area behind his frontal view including the blind spot area along with overtaking vehicles and the regular viewing area. The driver can then make instant accurate judgmental decisions about making a lane change or moving into a lane thus avoiding the danger caused by overlooking the vehicles in the danger area which did not show up in prior sideview mirrors or showed up in a distorted misleading or confusing manner.
