Adjustable extremely large mirror for a vehicle

摘要

The invention is a vehicular mirror assembly for a rectangular shaped mirror typically found on industrial trucks, earthmovers, and dump trucks. The mirror is placed in a holder with two or more pillow block bearings secured on the back of the holder. A circular rod, creating a first axis, extends longitudinally through the pillow block bearings and is swivelly secured to a mounting bracket thereby forming a second axis. A remotely controlled ram is secured to the mounting bracket and proximate to the edge of the holder allowing operator control of the left/right motion around the second axis; a second remotely controlled ram is swivelly secured to the circular rod for up/down adjustment by the operator for movement of the second axis.
