Abstract: An auxiliary vehicle mirror device comprising a frame having a plurality of spaced apart rear view mirror panels enabling a wide angled view to the rear of a vehicle in which the device is used. The mirror device comprises a first attachment mechanism for attachment to a first fixed structure of the vehicle, as for example, the frame element surrounding an automotive vehicle windshield in the interior passenger compartment. The auxiliary vehicle mirror comprises a second attachment mechanism capable of being attached to a second fixed structure of the automotive vehicle, as for example, to a stud or the like secured to the vehicle windshield.

Abstract: An auxiliary vehicle mirror device having a first attachment mechanism for attachment to a first fixed structure of the vehicle, as for example, the frame of an existing automotive vehicle rear view mirror located in the interior passenger compartment. The auxiliary vehicle mirror comprises a second attachment mechanism capable of being attached to a second portion of a second portion of the automotive vehicle, as for example, a stud or the like secured to the vehicle and which normally retains the existing vehicle mirror. The auxiliary vehicle mirror device comprises a first shell, as for example, an outer shell, and a second shell capable of being attached thereto. The first and second shells each having mating bosses. Moreover, the boss on the outer or first shell includes a spring means which is retained on the boss and forms part of the first attachment mechanism.

Abstract: A rear view mirror device for relatively permanent attachment to a transparent support such as an automotive vehicle windshield. The rear view mirror device comprises a housing holding a light reflective member, such as a mirror, permitting a view rearwardly of the device, a pivoted arm extending rearwardly of the housing and a bracket adapted for attachment to the windshield. A bonding layer is located in the bracket and is rigidly adhered thereto. An intermediate member, such as a plastic layer, is incidental the opposite side of the bonding layer. Fracturable pins are integral with the bonding layer and extend into the intermediate member and which fracturable pins have ends which are adapted for attachment to a transparent support such as a windshield.

Abstract: A tire chain container apparatus which is comprised of a bottom casing or bottom having an internal storage area for receiving tire chains and which is designed so that it can stand in an upright position. A cover for the casing is formed substantially of a molded plastic material and is adapted to be used as a mounting member for installing a tire chain around a vehicle wheel tire. The container cover is provided with a pair of ramps leading to a somewhat dished or concave upward surface and is provided with a recess in the upper surface to receive a portion of the tire chain. The cover is formed so that it is not only light in weight, but includes internal ribs in order to reinforce the same and structurally accommodate the weight of the vehicle carried by that wheel and tire and supported by the cover. Carrying handles are mounted on the casing for carrying the apparatus and which handles are adapted to hold the cover in place and displaceable to permit removal of the cover.
