| 20090052072 | Facial Hair Grooming Mirror Apparatus - A facial hair grooming mirror apparatus for permitting a user to view an underside portion of the user's chin is provided. The mirror apparatus includes two mirror elements hingidly attached at adjacent edges for relative swinging between open positions where the reflective surfaces of the mirror elements form an angle and closed positions where the reflective surfaces are disposed parallel and juxtaposed. The mirror elements are attached to a base for rotation between a first configuration where the mirror elements are disposed generally horizontal and a second configuration where the mirror elements are disposed generally vertical. The base includes mounting members for removably attaching the mirror assembly to a support surface. | 02-26-2009 |
| 20110216427 | Dual view mirror system - Apparatus for increasing a person's field of view is disclosed. The apparatus includes a mounting base. A receiver is rotatably mounted to the mounting base. A center arm section including a plurality of rigid segments is adjustably mounted at one end to the receiver. The apparatus also includes an upper arm section. A ball and socket connection is included between the upper arm section and the center arm section. The apparatus also includes a plurality of mirrors mounted on the upper arm section. | 09-08-2011 |
| 20120154942 | REFLECTING PLATE AND REFLECTING FRAME - An incident angle when illumination light from a position detecting device enters a reflecting surface may be large in some cases. In such cases, the retro-reflection rate of a reflecting surface having a prism structure decreases, leading to a cause of erroneous detection. In order to solve this problem, provided is a reflecting plate including a reflecting surface that retro-reflects illumination light emitted from an optical position detecting device towards the position detecting device that includes a light source, the reflecting plate further including: a surface structure in which a concavo-convex pattern having the same triangle shape in cross-section in a width direction of the reflecting plate continuously appears in a longitudinal direction thereof; and a retro-reflecting layer in which reflecting beads are evenly placed on at least one oblique surface of the concavo-convex pattern. | 06-21-2012 |
| 20160062097 | REFLECTION IMAGING DEVICE AND METHOD OF PRODUCING REFLECTION IMAGING DEVICE - A reflection imaging device includes a first component board, a second component board, and flat plates. The first component board includes first planar reflectors perpendicular to a plate surface and first light transmissive bases extending parallel to the first planar reflectors. The first planar reflectors and the first light transmissive bases are alternately arranged. The second component board includes an inner plate surface bonded to an inner plate surface of the first component board opposed thereto. The second component board includes second planar reflectors perpendicular to the plate surface and the first planar reflectors and second light transmissive bases extending parallel to the second planar reflectors. The second planar reflectors and the second light transmissive bases are alternately arranged. The flat plates are bonded to the outer plate surfaces of at least one of the first component board and the second component board opposed thereto. | 03-03-2016 |

| 20110075284 | Infinite progression mirror box - This device uses mirrors and the optical effect of parallax to create the optical illusion of an infinite regression of reflections in those mirrors. Mirrors are attached, facing inwards, to the four inner sides of a box, and a mirror is attached to the bottom facing upwards. Mirrors that reflect on one side but can be seen through when looking from the other side are generally known as “see through” or “one way” mirrors. The front side of the box has viewing portals and a one way “see through” mirror through which the viewer can look directly from outside the box into the line of sight for the reflections inside the box without the viewer's reflection showing in the mirrors. Thus, the viewer sees a nearly infinite chain of reflections in the mirrors because of the optical effect of parallax and because the viewer's reflection is in spite of the fact that the viewer is looking directly into a mirror because the viewer's reflection is hidden by the “one way” see through mirror in the front. | 03-31-2011 |
| 20140313605 | REFLECTOR ARRANGEMENT, LIGHT CURTAIN, METHOD FOR ADJUSTING THE REFLECTOR ARRANGEMENT AND METHOD FOR ASSEMBLING THE REFLECTOR ARRANGEMENT - Disclosed is a reflector arrangement including a mirror system for reflecting incident light. The mirror system includes a V-mirror unit with a V-shaped mirror having two mirror reflection surfaces, and a plane mirror unit arranged at a distance from the V-mirror unit. The V-mirror unit includes a V-mirror adjustment mechanism for adjusting an angle between the two mirror reflection surfaces of the V-shaped mirror. A method for adjusting the reflector arrangement and a method for assembling the reflector arrangement are also disclosed. | 10-23-2014 |
| 20160033750 | System and Method for Expansion of Field of View in a Vision System - This invention provides a field of view expander (FOVE) removably attached to a vision system camera having an image sensor defining an image plane. In an embodiment the FOVE includes first and second mirrors that transmit light from a scene in respective first and second partial fields of view along first and second optical axes. Third and fourth mirrors respectively receive reflected light from the first and second mirrors. The third and fourth mirrors reflect the received light onto the image plane in a first strip and a second strip adjacent to the first strip. The first and second optical axes are approximately parallel and a first focused optical path length between the scene and the image plane and a second focused optical path between the image plane and the scene are approximately equal in length. The optical path can be rotated at a right angle in embodiments. | 02-04-2016 |
