  • Patent number: 11613211
    Abstract: An apparatus for securing a side mirror to a vehicle includes an adapter bracket and a solid body secured to the adapter bracket with screws. The adapter bracket has a plurality of first bracket holes in a first hole pattern and a plurality of second bracket holes in a second hole pattern. Each first bracket hole is positioned to align with a threaded hole in an exterior of the vehicle for receiving a screw through a first bracket hole and threadably fastening the screw to the threaded hole to secure the adapter bracket to the vehicle. A solid body has first and second threaded blind holes in a base surface for alignment with the second bracket holes for securing the solid body to the adapter bracket with screws. A third threaded hole in a top surface of the solid body is adapted for threadably securing the side mirror.

  • Patent number: 11299095
    Abstract: An apparatus for securing a side mirror to a vehicle includes a solid body having base and top surfaces. The base surface has a contour complementary to that of an exterior surface of the vehicle. First and second holes are formed through the solid body from the base surface to the top surface. Positioning the base surface face-to-face with the exterior surface of the vehicle aligns the first hole with a first threaded hole in the vehicle and aligns the second hole with a second threaded hole in the vehicle. Each of the first and second holes has a counterbore that opens to the top surface of the rigid body. A third hole in the solid body opens to the top surface between the counterbores of the first and second holes, wherein the third hole is threaded to receive a threaded screw that attaches a mirror.
