Abstract
A mirror assembly for a vehicle includes a housing configured to be coupled to the vehicle, a primary mirror assembly, and a secondary mirror assembly selectively repositionable independent of the primary mirror assembly. The primary mirror assembly includes a primary mirror configured to provide a reflection showing a primary field of view and a first base member coupled to the primary mirror and adjustably coupled to the housing. The secondary mirror assembly includes a secondary mirror configured to provide a reflection showing a secondary field of view and a second base member coupled to the secondary mirror. The second base member is pivotable about a point relative to the first base member such that the secondary mirror is adjustable relative to the primary mirror.

A mirror assembly for a vehicle, comprising:
- a housing configured to be coupled to the vehicle;
- a primary mirror assembly, including:
- a primary mirror configured to provide a reflection showing a primary field of view;
- and
- a first base member coupled to the primary mirror and adjustably coupled to the housing;
- and
- a secondary mirror assembly selectively repositionable independent of the primary mirror assembly, the secondary mirror assembly including:
- a secondary mirror configured to provide a reflection showing a secondary field of view;
- and
- a second base member coupled to the secondary mirror and pivotable about a point relative to the first base member such that the secondary mirror is adjustable relative to the primary mirror.
A mirror assembly for a vehicle, comprising:
- a housing configured to be coupled to the vehicle;
- a primary mirror assembly, including:
- a primary mirror configured to provide a reflection showing a primary field of view;
- and
- a first base member coupled to the primary mirror and adjustably coupled to the housing;
- a secondary mirror assembly selectively repositionable independent of the primary mirror assembly, the secondary mirror assembly including:
- a secondary mirror configured to provide a reflection showing a secondary field of view;
- and
- a second base member coupled to the secondary mirror and pivotable about a point relative to the first base member such that the secondary mirror is adjustable relative to the primary mirror;
- and
- an actuator coupled to the primary mirror assembly and configured to selectively reposition the primary mirror assembly relative to the housing in response to a user input;
- wherein the secondary mirror assembly is configured to be manually or electrically repositionable relative to the primary mirror assembly.
A mirror assembly for a vehicle, comprising:
- a housing configured to be coupled to the vehicle;
- a primary mirror assembly, including:
- a primary mirror configured to provide a reflection showing a primary field of view;
- and
- a first base member coupled to the primary mirror and adjustably coupled to the housing;
- and
- a secondary mirror assembly selectively repositionable independent of the primary mirror assembly, the secondary mirror assembly including:
- a secondary mirror configured to provide a reflection showing a secondary field of view;
- and
- a second base member coupled to the secondary mirror such that the secondary mirror assembly is repositioned relative to the housing when the primary mirror assembly is repositioned relative to the housing, wherein the second base member is pivotable about a point relative to the first base member such that the secondary mirror is adjustable relative to the primary mirror.
