CLAIM

1. The ornamental design for a vehicle mirror, as shown and described.

Description:

FIG. 1 is a front elevational view of a left vehicle mirror (as viewed from the front of the vehicle);

FIG. 2 is a right side elevational view of the left vehicle mirror;

FIG. 3 is a left side elevational view of the left vehicle mirror;

FIG. 4 is a top plan view of the left vehicle mirror;

FIG. 5 is bottom plan view of the left vehicle mirror;

FIG. 6 is a rear elevational view of the left vehicle mirror;

FIG. 7 is an alternative embodiment of a right vehicle mirror;

FIG. 8 is a left side elevational view of the right vehicle mirror;

FIG. 9 is a right side elevational view of the right vehicle mirror;

FIG. 10 is a top plan view of the right vehicle mirror;

FIG. 11 is bottom plan view of the right vehicle mirror; and,

FIG. 12 is a rear elevational view of the right vehicle mirror.

The Vehicle Mirror is styled independently of adjacent vehicle panels.

To the extent that any feature lines are illustrated, they are intended to illustrate the crest and valley of the feature and are not necessarily sharp bends in the part. Shading is used to illustrate the curvature of the part and not color. Any functional features of the vehicle mirror are not claimed. Views are orthogonal projections unless otherwise noted. The various views are not necessarily to scale in order to better illustrate the design. The drawings were generated using Computer Aided Design tools. Highlights and shading were added to the drawings to better illustrate the three-dimensional features of the part.
