UTV SIDE MIRROR AND LIGHT MOUNTING SYSTEM

1 . A lockable peripheral mounting and adjustment system for use on a chassis sidebar comprising:

an adjustable multi-component clamp system comprising:

a hollow partial tubular body adapted to at least partially surround the chassis sidebar, said first hollow partial tubular body having opposing ends and an adjustable diameter;

said hollow partial tubular body coupled to a mounting body;

said mounting body coupled to a rotatable joint, wherein an extending member coupled to said adjustable multi-component clamp system is located within a hollow socket of a chamber in said rotatable joint;

a pair of plates coupled to a distal end of said rotatable joint, the rotatable joint comprising a hinge pin having a longitudinal axis orthogonal to axes of each of said pair of plates, with a top plate coupled to a top of a revolute joint and a bottom plate coupled to a bottom of said revolute joint, whereby the coupled plates couple to the revolute joint to allow rotation between said revolute joint and said plates,

a peripheral coupled to said pair of plates via at least one fastener having a fastener axis parallel with said longitudinal axis.

2 . The lockable peripheral mounting and adjustment system of claim 1 wherein said adjustable multi-component clamp system, said rotatable joint, and said pivotable hinge each comprise a bolted locking mechanism.

3 . The lockable peripheral mounting and adjustment system of claim 1 , wherein said rotatable joint comprises a ball-and-socket joint wherein a spheroid serves as a ball for said ball-and-socket joint.

4 . The lockable peripheral mounting and adjustment system of claim 3 wherein said socket comprises a multi-part chamber, with said multi-part chamber compressing said spheroid to lock a relative position of said spheroid into a set position.

5 . The lockable peripheral mounting and adjustment system of claim 1 wherein said revolute joint comprises a rotary bearing such that said rotary bearing is fixedly coupled with said peripheral and said rotary bearing rotates around said hinge pin along a longitudinal axis of said hinge pin.

6 . The lockable peripheral mounting and adjustment system of claim 5 wherein the hinge pin comprises a threaded cylindrical body wherein screwing said hinge pint into the rotary bearing locks a relative position of said peripheral relative to said ball-and-socket joint.

7 . The lockable peripheral mounting and adjustment system of claim 1 wherein said hinge pin comprises an alternative extended accessory mounting screw to replace said hinge pin such that said extended accessory mounting screw comprises a distal end extending beyond a plate of said pair of plates.

8 . The lockable peripheral mounting and adjustment system of claim 7 wherein said extended accessory mounting screw supports an accessory mounted thereon, said extended accessory mounting screw coupling said accessory to said lockable peripheral mounting and adjustment system.

9 . The lockable peripheral mounting system of claim 1 wherein the peripheral is a side-view mirror.

10 . The lockable peripheral mounting system of claim 9 further comprising an accessory mounted to a rear of the peripheral.

11 . The lockable peripheral mounting system of claim 9 further comprising an accessory mounted to the pair of plates.

12 . The lockable peripheral mounting system of claim 10 wherein said accessory is mounted via along the longitudinal axis.

13 . The lockable peripheral mounting system of claim 10 wherein said accessory comprises a light fixture.

14 . A peripheral mounting system for use on a chassis sidebar comprising:

a multi-component clamp system comprising:

a hollow partial tubular body adapted to at least partially surround the chassis sidebar, said first hollow partial tubular body having opposing ends and an adjustable diameter;

said hollow partial tubular body coupled to a mounting body;

said mounting body coupled to a pair of plates forming a hinged joint comprising a hinge pin having a longitudinal axis orthogonal to axes of each of said pair of plates, with a top plate coupled to a top of the hinged joint and a bottom plate coupled to a bottom of said hinged joint; and

a peripheral mounted to the multi-component clamp system; and

an accessory mounted on the multi-component clamp system pair of plates.

15 . The peripheral mounting system for use on a chassis sidebar of claim 14 wherein said peripheral comprises a side-view mirror.

16 . The peripheral mounting system for use on a chassis sidebar of claim 14 wherein said accessory comprises a lighting fixture.

17 . A method for fixing a peripheral to a chassis sidebar wherein the peripheral is coupled to a revolute joint, said revolute joint comprising a hinge pin and a rotary bearing, with the revolute joint said method comprising:

fixing the multi-component clamp system to the chassis sidebar by first coupling a hollow partial tubular body around at least a majority of the chassis sidebar;

mounting a mounting body to the tubular body;

fixing relative positions of the mounting body to the partial hollow tubular body;

loosening the hinge pin such that the rotary bearing may pivot around a longitudinal axis of the hinge pin;

pivoting said revolute joint until said peripheral is properly positioned;

mounting an accessory to the hinge pin; and

tightening the hinge pin until said peripheral is fixed in position.

18 . The method as set forth in claim 17 further comprising the step of replacing the hinge pin with an extended accessory supporting screw, and further coupling the accessory to the accessory supporting screw.
