A mounting bracket 3 for wing mirror 2 of a vehicle, to be fixed to the windscreen 5 or body of a vehicle using the door hinge 6 as attachment means. The bracket can be attached to the hinge once the door of the vehicle has been removed. The bracket can be of any shape and angle to allow for a variety of mirror types. The first embodiment is for the driver side of the vehicle, and a second embodiment is a handed version for use on the passenger side of the vehicle.
Description
Written Description -Mirror Bracket
This invention relates to a device to allow a rear view side mirror to be fixed or mounted to a windscreen or windscreen-stanchion allowing the vehicle to be driven with or without doors and still have mirrors.
Vehicles with removable doors generally have their mirrors mounted directly onto the doors, however these are unstable and not very usable due to the mirror shaking when the vehicle is driven. Depending on the mirror type some could be fixed directly into the windscreen or windscreen-stanchion but these are generally at incorrect angles and are unusable.
If the mirrors are fixed to the doors and the doors removed in hot weather the vehicle will not have any rear view side mirrors, and if driven on the highway this is illegal.
To overcome this problem this invention allows rear view side mirrors to be mounted to the windscreen or windscreen-stanchion allowing for the doors to be removed and still have mirrors fitted to the vehicle.
A handed' version of this invention (included in this application) is used for the passenger.
By mounting the mirrors onto the windscreen or windscreen-stanchion using this invention) this allows the doors to be either, removed completely, replaced with half-doors, or replaced with wind-deflectors, all without needing tools, and without the need to move or remove the mirrors.
This invention has been designed to use the fixings already on the windscreen or windscreen-stanchions, without needing any additional fittings or tools, as this invention is designed to be sandwiched between the original door hinge and windscreen, using the original fixings.
The exact shape and angles of this invention is not fixed, and can be shaped and manufactured to suit any type of mirror or shape of door hinge. This invention is designed to be sturdy to ensure the mirror is usable when the vehicle is driven.
The invention will now be described by way of example and with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:-Figure 1. Shows a view looking at the rear of a vehicle, showing mirrors fitted to both drivers and passenger sides.
Figure 2 Shows a view looking from the front of a vehicle at the drives side, of a mirror mounted to this invention, which is fixed to the windscreen using the normal door hinge and its original door hinge fixings.
FigureS Shows a view looking from the rear of a vehicle at the drives side, of a mirror mounted to this invention, which is fixed to the windscreen using the normal door hinge and its original door hinge fixings.
Figure 1 is to show the location of this invention in relation to the mirrors, and to the vehicle. The exact location of the mirrors and this invention is not fixed and can be located wherever the vehicle's door hinges are located. In figure 1 the passenger mirror 1 is fixed to the passenger variation of this invention 4, which is fixed to windscreen 5 using door hinge 6. Also in figure 1, the driver's side mirror 2 is fixed to this invention 3, which is fixed to windscreen 5 by using door hinge 6.
Figure 2 shows the driver's side only when looking from the front of the vehicle. The passenger side is the same but handed. Mirror 2 is fixed to this invention 3. This invention 3 is fixed to windscreen 5 by being sandwiched between door hinge 6 and windscreen 5.
FigureS shows the driver's side only when looking from the rear of the vehicle. The passenger side is the same but handed. Mirror 2 is fixed to this invention 3. This invention 3 is sandwiched between door hinge 6 and windscreen 5. Door hinge 7 is shown to show a door hinge normally fixed to a windscreen when not using this invention.
