Abstract

A wide angle rear view mirror assembly for a motor vehicle has a supplemental optically flat wide angle mirror element mounted in a frame which in turn is mounted on the main rear view mirror assembly of a motor vehicle in juxtaposition with the main frame of the main rear view mirror assembly. The wide angle rear view mirror assembly is an after market device in one embodiment and is adapted to be mounted directly on the main mirror element of the main rear view mirror assembly, but can also be integrally built into the housing of the main rear view mirror assembly so as to constitute a feature of the automobile as manufactured. Either way, the wide angle rear view mirror assembly substantially increases the driver's rear view angle of vision utilizing an optically flat mirror, and also has provision for changing the vertical position of the angle of reflection of the wide angle mirror to accommodate different driving circumstances which affect what the driver sees in the wide angle mirror.
