  • Blind-spot eliminator side-view mirror
    Patent number: 9180818
    Abstract: The subject invention provides vehicle mirrors that increase the field of view on one or both sides of a vehicle to bring into view the area behind and lateral to the standard mirror's field of view (the “blind spot”). One embodiment utilizes a flat-plane mirror in conjunction with a horizontally-convex portion at one side. The purpose of the horizontally-convex vertically -straight design is to maintain the vertical dimension of the image to retain proper perception of distance. Utilizing the mirrors of the subject invention, a vehicle driver is able to see directly behind and to the side of the vehicle with maintenance of distance perception. The horizontally-convex portion increases the driver's field of view along the rear and side of a vehicle eliminating or reducing blind spots.
