The rear view system of the present invention allows a mirror to be mounted in the back of a bus which is effectively isolated from the vibration of the bus body thereby providing the driver a clear view of the passengers seated in the back of the bus even in buses having high back seats. The rear view system includes a mirror mounted to a backing support member. The backing support member is secured to the back of the bus using mounting brackets. A pair of matched mounting brackets is provided. Each bracket includes a lower strut fixedly mounted to the interior wall of the bus at one end and pivotally mounted to the backing support member adjacent the lower end of the mirror. An upper strut connected to the interior wall of the bus at a first end and connected to the backing support member adjacent the upper end of the mirror at a second end. The second end of the upper strut is adapted to translate with respect to the backing support member thereby allowing the mirror to pivot about the pivotal connection between the lower strut and the backing support member. |
