Distortion free image capture mirror assembly

Abstract

A distortion free image capture mirror assembly, and more particularly one which can be associated with side view mirrors for use by drivers on all type of vehicles. The distortion free image capture mirror assembly includes a support or housing, a background mirror; image channeling horizontal surfaces in the form of an image channeling awning disposed above said background mirror; and an image channeling sill mounted below said background mirror. In addition, side beams to the right and left sides of the background mirror are provided. The two horizontal surfaces will serve to eliminate distracting background view and direct or channel the image from the critical blind spot area with a clear non-distorted view toward the driver.
