An attachable rear viewing vehicle mirror for viewing inaccessible areas about a motor vehicle. The device consists of a uniplanar support frame attachable by suction cups and extending support arms at an obtuse angle thereto for adjustably supporting a wide angle mirror.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION The present invention is an improvement on attachable rear-view vehicle mirrors that are adaptable to allow the driver to maintain continual visual contact with a vehicle trailer hitch and vehicle tongue during the hook-up operation.
The present invention utilizes a support frame which carries a plurality of spaced suction cups while extending parallel support arms at an angle therefrom.
The support arms carry a viewing mirror, preferably an arcuate type, wide angle mirror, which is adjustably secured at the outer end of the support arms.
Thus, the support frame can be positioned with its plural suction cups engaged on or about the rear end of a pickup, station wagon, sedan, coupe or other utility vehicle having rear viewing access, and being so positioned with the support arms extending rearward from the trailing edge of the vehicle, whereupon the adjustable mirror carried by the support arms can be secured at proper angle to deflect the driver's view downward to the hitch/tongue area.
Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to provide an adjustable rear viewing device that can be attachably utilized on any type of vehicle to provide view of a rearward position.
It is also an object of the present invention to provide such a hitch viewing attachable mirror that is simple of construction yet extremely rugged and reliable in usage.
It is yet further an object of the present invention to provide an attachable mirror device that is readily and safely stowed in vehicle storage compartments.
Finally, it is an object of the present invention to provide vehicle rear hitch viewing capability without need for undue appurtenant structure on vehicle and/or trailer components.
Other objects and advantages of the invention will be evident from the following detailed description when read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings which illustrate the invention.
