Application filed June 5,

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, FRED \V. ZINK, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Detroit, in the county of \Vayne and State of Michigan, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Mirror Supports, of which the following is a specitication, reference being had therein to the accom mnying drawings.

This invention relates to mirror supports and more particularly to devices for supporting rear view mirrors on vehicles.

The invention consists in the structural features and arrangen'lent of parts hereinafter described.

In the drawings Figure 1 is aside view, of the improved support Figure 2 is a top view thereof;

Figure 3 is a longitudinal sectional view taken on line 33 of Figure l:

Figure-4 is across section on line -l-l of Figuretl. a r

In these views the. reference clniracters A and A designate a pair of eomplenientary sheet: metal stampings which form an elongated arm, the members A and A'"co-acting at one end to clamp a rigid support 1% which may be either a bracket or a portion of a windshield frame or standard and coaeting at their other extremity to clamp a ball head 1) formed on the 'l'reeend of a short arm .1 securedto a mirror carrying plate l"; The memberst'A and A have complementary semi-cyliiidrical portions for engaging the bracket ll and at their other end have apertures If to partially receivethe head l), slots G being extended into said apertures to allow the arm E a wider range of angular movement. The opposite edges of the membars A and A are flanged toward each other, as indicated at H and a clamping ena ement between said ed es is maintained g g i t a:

by bolts I. The parts A and A. are slightly bent at a point intermediate the two bolts ing cooperating stampings having terminal clamping portions, said stan'ipings also having edge tlangcsiextendmg inwardly toward each other, said stampings and flanges being' correspondingly bent inwardly at; a

' point intermediate the ends thereof, and

clamping members extending through the outwardly extending portions of said st ampings upon opposite sides of said bends for causing said stampings to fulcrum upon the flanges thereof at the bends and for adj usting said terminal clamping portions.

' A device of the class described compris-' .mg cooperating stampmgs-having complementary semi-cylindrical portions at one end for engaging a: bracket and at the other end having aligned apertures topartially receive a ball member, said stampings also having edge flanges extending inwardly toward each other. said stainpings'and flanges being correspomlingly bent inwardlyv at a point: intermediate the ends 'flml'GOf, and bolts extending through the outwardly extending portions of said stampings adjacent to the ends thereof for causing said stamplugs to fulcrum upon the flanges thereof at the bends and'for adjusting the ends thereof Intestimony whereof I aflix my signature;
