TITLE: REAR VIEW MIRROR FOR VEHICLES ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A rear view mirror for vehicles is provided having a composite surface including a specific configuration seg- ment of spherical surface for enhancing the field of view. This mirror includes a primary mirror having a reflecting surface which may be planar and has formed therewith a se- condary or auxiliary mirror section of elongated configura- tion that has an arcuately curved reflecting surface that comprises a spherical surface segment. This auxiliary mir- ror surface is of a substantially lessor area dimension than that of the primary mirror and is positioned in a corner area of the primary mirror so as to be effectively non-obstructing to the conventional utilization of the primary mirror but of sufficient size and configuration as to produce a reflected image of a relatively large angular field of view in a hori- zontal plane with respect to that which may be formed by the primary mirror. This relative size and configuration of the auxiliary mirror is combined with orientation of that mirror so that its longer axis extends in the direction of viewing as referenced from one to the other and thus provides substan- -i- tial directivity to viewing due to substantial limitation of viewing in a direction transverse to the longer axis. The auxiliary mirror may be either separately formed and mounta- ble on an exterior surface of a primary mirror or it may be integrally formed with the primary mirror. -ia-
