The second body portion is arranged at a variable angle of between 0 and 50 degrees from the plane of the first body portion. A convex mirror is attached to the underside of the second body portion such that when the hand-held mirror is attached to the body of the user and raised or tilted slightly, the user has a view of the activities behind the user. The hand-held mirror may be attached to a piece of clothing or other article worn by the user including a glove or strap worn around the hand or lower wrist of the user. In addition, the hand-held mirror may include an additional device such as a watch, temperature gauge, altimeter, cell phone, radio, GPS, heart rate monitor, mapping device or turn signal indicator. | 02-05-2009 |
| 20090059405 | INTERIOR REARVIEW MIRROR SYSTEM WITH COMPASS - An interior rearview mirror system includes an interior rearview mirror assembly and a compass sensor. A physical mount mounts the compass sensor at the reflective element whereby the compass sensor adjusts in tandem with adjustment of the reflective element. A control receives at least one signal indicative of at least one magnetic field sensed by the compass sensor. The control determines a directional heading of the vehicle based on the signal or signals and generates a signal indicative of the directional heading of the vehicle. The control may automatically compensate for adjustment of the compass sensor in tandem with adjustment of the reflective element. | 03-05-2009 |
| 20090168211 | Auxiliary mirror assembly for sideview mirror of car - An auxiliary mirror assembly for a sideview mirror of a car includes an auxiliary mirror including a mirror body and a connecting base, a first support bar and a second support bar each mounted on the connecting base, a first holding base and a second holding base each mounted on the first support bar and each provided with at least one holding flange, a locking hook and a binding strap. Thus, the first support bar and the second support bar are combined with the sideview mirror to attach the auxiliary mirror to the sideview mirror to extend the side-viewing distance of the sideview mirror so that when a trailer is attached to the car, the driver in the car can see clearly the trailer behind the car by the auxiliary mirror. | 07-02-2009 |
| 20090231741 | INTERIOR REARVIEW MIRROR SYSTEM WITH COMPASS - An interior rearview mirror system for a vehicle includes an interior rearview mirror assembly having a mirror housing, a transflective reflective element, a compass sensor and compass circuitry. An information display is disposed in the mirror housing rearward of a transflective mirror reflector of the reflective element, and information displayed by the information display is viewable by a driver of the equipped vehicle through the transflective minor reflector of the reflective element when the information display is displaying information. The compass sensor may be disposed in the mirror housing rearward of the reflective element. The compass circuitry may be responsive to the compass sensor for determining a directional heading of the vehicle. The information display is operable to display the directional heading to the driver of equipped vehicle. The compass circuitry at least partially compensates for movement of the compass sensor caused by adjustment of the mirror housing. | 09-17-2009 |
| 20100033858 | REAR VIEWING DEVICE AND ASSOCIATED METHODS - A rear viewing device includes an elongate main body member having a first end, a second end and a medial portion positioned between the first end and the second end. The medial portion may include a pocket formed therein. The rear viewing device may also include a mirror adapted to be removeably carried by the pocket formed in the medial portion of the elongate main body member. The rear viewing device may also include respective fasteners carried by the first end and the second end of the elongate main body member. The respective fasteners may be adapted to matingly engage one another so that the elongate main body member may be worn by a user. | 02-11-2010 |
| 20100073793 | SPHERICAL MIRROR MOUNT - A spherical mounting assembly for mounting an optical element allows for rotational motion of an optical surface of the optical element only. In that regard, an optical surface of the optical element does not translate in any of the three perpendicular translational axes. More importantly, the assembly provides adjustment that may be independently controlled for each of the three mutually perpendicular rotational axes. | 03-25-2010 |
| 20140300981 | Wearable Reflective Device - A wearable reflective device. The wearable reflective device includes a mirror, a base and a strap. The strap is attached to the base for securing the device to a user. The mirror is connected to the base by a pivotal element and a rotational element, wherein the pivotal element is configured to allow the mirror to pivot along a first plane, the rotational element configured to allow the mirror and pivotal element to rotate in a second plane. The first plane is substantially orthogonal to the second plane. | 10-09-2014 |
