  • Patent number: 4917485
    Abstract: A system using appliances in the form of sectional mirrors allows drivers wide-angle viewing of approaching traffic to the rear and on both side of the system equipped vehicle. The system appliances include an in-vehicle mirror having as sections a convex upper mirror portion and a flat lower mirror portion. The in-vehicle mirror is used individually or in cooperation with one or more outside mirrors of similar structure. The flat lower mirror portions allow regular rear viewing and the convex upper mirror portions provides wide angle viewing to the rear and on both sides of the system equipped vehicle. A preset tilting of the convex mirror surfaces outwardly at the top and inwardly at the bottom in an adjusted relationship to the flat mirror surfaces allows the driver to see a reduced version in a wider plane in the convex mirror surfaces of the same image reflected in the flat mirror surface.
