Adjustable mounting for driving mirror - has single lock-nut to secure mirror angle and position on mounting bar

A single clamp fitting is for an external driving mirror. The mirror setting and its position on a vertical mounting bar, is secured by a single nut. The mirror is gripped by a square section hollow shaft (16) with a flanged end(19) to locate in the mounting hole in the base of the mirror and with fitting holes(20) in the other end to slide over the mounting bar. The clamping sleeve(21) is fitted over the shaft complete with clamping flange(24) and securing nut(22). The two clamping flanges grip the hole in the rear of the mirror mounting for mirror adjustment while the nut also pulls the hollow shaft against a securing cap(25) similarly fitted over the bar to provide a clamping effect on the bar.

Spring-back mounting for vehicle exterior mirror - has double hinges with bar and groove pivots allowing folding flat against vehicle

The spring back mounting for an exterior driving mirror has two vertical, parallel axes formed by pivot bars (34) in the centre of mounting grooves (33) at the inside front and inside rear edge of the mirror housing. Displacement of the mirror forwards or backwards disengages one hinge and allows the mirror to fold flat against the car. The pivot bars are gripped by long narrow grooves (38) on the mirror housing and provide a one way pivot. This avoids lateral displacement which would cause both pivots to disengage and damage the mirror.

Folding external mirror for vehicle - has arm joint with two parallel curve paths for separate guide pieces

Foldaway vehicle external mirror in which the arm (14) carrying the mirror housing is connected to the carrier (13) of the mirror foot by an intermediate member (17) which has two parallel curve paths (25,26) in which the arm moves using tow guide pieces (27,28). When the inner guide piece (27) has reached the end of its curve the outer guide piece (28) moves to an end section (30) of its curve: thereafter the inner guide moves back and the outer guide continues to its final position, and the folded mirro is held stable by a spring (43a). ADVANTAGE - Foldaway mirror of simple design having a positive guide system which is easily repositioned.

Safety spring back mirror mounting - has two sprung pivots with one joint locked when other is uncoupled

A spring back mounting for an external driving mirror with two parallel pivot axes (13, 14) for forward and reverse displacement. The inside of the mirror housing has a spring (23) linked to a support yoke (25) in the mirror mounting foot (10) with bearings at each end to engage sockets moulded in the mirror housing. The housing pivots about the axis and is uncoupled from the other. The bearings are designed to lock when the housing is displaced in either direction so that the mirror is still securely retained by at least one bearing, and does not drop against the side of the vehicle. The centre of the bearings is asymmetrical to lock the coupling when displaced.

Spring-back mounting for exterior mirror - has profiled double pivots to prevent both pivots disengaging simultaneously

A spring back mounting for an exterior driving mirror has vertical pivots at the inside front and inside rear edge of the mirror to allow it to fold flat against the car when displaced forwards or backwards with one of the hinges disengaging. Each hinge has interlocking jaw (48) and pin (51) profiles at the top and bottom of the mirror housing. The pivot profiles restrict the mirror movement to pivot about parallel vertical axes and not to twist in the mounting. This prevents both pivots from disengaging and damaging the mirror through dropping against the side of the vehicle.

ANGLE MIRROR

Clip-on towing mirror - has clamp received over top of door and suction pad applied to door panel

The clip on towing mirror is mounted on two hinged support arms with the hinge point linked to a clamp (16) which grips over the top of the car door. The bottom end of the free arm has a suction pad (18) to grip the outside panel of the door and provide a non vibrating mounting. The two arms are braced by a curved strut (28) bolted between the arms. The mirror support arm (20) can be telescopic so its extension can be adjusted to suit the width of the trailer.

Socket mounting for driving mirror - has slotted ball for universal mounting on road vehicle

A ball and socket mounting for a driving mirror has the two parts linked by a securing screw (18) with a nut (20) to clamp down onto the socket. The ball has a slot to allow the screw to swing through a set angle and enable the mirror to be mounted with its foot vertical or horizontal. The end of the screw is secured in a cylinder (22) swivel mounted inside the ball. The angular adjustment for the mirror has a set amount of play in the socket to allow the screw to set the mirror for different drivers. The mounting has the same stability as conventional fittings, and is applied to most types of vehicle.

Mirror for caravan towing vehicle - has clamp fixing onto door by two telescopic arms providing height adjustment

The external rear view mirror for a vehicle, includes telescopic arms for adjustment and is attached to the vehicle door (30). The mirror housing (27) is attached to a telescopic arm (20) which slopes downwards at an acute angle to the horizontal. At the other end is a clamp assembly (16) for mounting on the edge of the window (13). This hinge is attached in turn to a second telescopic arm (14) which carries a suction pad (18) at the bottom for attachment to the door (11). This arm slopes outwards at the bottom to match the slope of the door. The rigidity of the whole is increased by a support rod (28). The mirror position can be adjusted to suit the width of the caravan to ensure adequate visibility. the fittings do not require the door to be modified, drilled, etc.

Periscope with cleaning jets - which direct fluid or air jets over outside inclined window face

The periscope is made from a solid block of glass or plastic and is contained in a housing. A duct is located in a groove up one side of the block. The top window is inclined downwards at a slight angle, and the duct is set parallel to this face so that the duct does not distort the image. The duct leads up one side of the window and has a number of jets directed across the face of the window to the other side where the window surround is angled to deflect the jets upwards. Water and/or compressed air is passed through the duct to provide a screen clearing system with no moving parts to be damaged.

Side wind protection for caravan - has slip stream scoops each side behind wheels

The single axled trailer, or caravan side wind protection device has scoops (16) under the rear sides, behind the wheels to produce a reaction force under the centre of thrust of the vehicle side, to counteract the lateral thrust of the wind. The reaction force stabilises the tow and prevents slewing. The scoops have concave profiles, wider near the wheels. The air is ducted along the scoops and is expelled near the rear of the caravan with a slightly outwards direction, on each side of the caravan.

Towing mirror extension for wing mirror - is attached to mirror surface by lever controlled suction pads

The extended mirror, for towing, is attached to a mounting arm (15) at the end of which are two suction pads (12, 13) for attaching to the existing wing mirror (10). The spacing of the suction pads can be adjusted to suit the wing mirror, and the vacuum is controlled by pivotted cam levers (26) on each suction pad mounting. The system provides a simple and rapid attachment for the mirror. It is easily knocked off in a collision so that injury risk is minimised, and is easily removed when the vehicle is left, to prevent theft.
