Abstract: A vehicle mirror system includes a mirror unit which is held in space and supported above the front fender of the vehicle by support arms, the distal end of which is connected to the vehicle fender by suitable bracketry. The mounting bracketry is also utilized to affix and hold in place a visor which has a portion that extends generally between the headlight of the vehicle and the mirror unit to prevent at least a substantial portion of stray light from the headlight from reaching the mirror unit.
Abstract: A safety mirror lens assembly includes a mirror unit with a mirror lens that has a three-dimensional convex/ellipsoid reflective surface which terminates in an oval shape peripheral edge. The reflective surface is such that a notional line traced to coincides with the major axis has a first constant radius of curvature and a second notional line traced to coincide with the minor axis has a second constant radius of curvature. The first radius of curvature is substantially greater than the second radius of curvature. The mirror lens is usable for a cross-over mirror for a vehicle, for example, a school bus.
