Abstract:

An assembly of mirrors for viewing an area extending longitudinally rearwardly from a central portion of the back of a vehicle. The mirror assembly includes a first mirror positioned on a forward side portion of the vehicle so as to be directly viewable by a vehicle occupant or operator. A second mirror is positioned on an upper rear side portion of the vehicle, with the first and second mirrors cooperating with each other to define a viewing axis extending upwardly and rearwardly along the side of the vehicle. A third mirror is positioned on the top of the vehicle and spaced forwardly of the second mirror. The third mirror is positioned such that the first viewing axis is reflected thereon by the second mirror and, in turn, is reflected downwardly and rearwardly so as to permit viewing of an area extending longitudinally rearwardly from the back of the vehicle. Such area includes an area that is immediately adjacent the back of the vehicle.
