A mirror for use in automobiles using a support frame of approximate C-shape and having a mirror support spring also supporting the support frame, the mirror support spring preventing the mirror from moving due to motion or vibrations of the automobile.

This mirror comprises a frame with an external continuous groove having opposed side undercuts. A flexible strip presses a flexible reflective sheet into the groove to hold said sheet in stretched condition on the frame to provide a smoth mirror surface. The flexible strip is normally of inverted V-shape, with wings that can be pressed down and toward each other to reduce the overall width of the strip to enable the strip to easily enter the groove, and press the reflective sheet into the groove...

A mirror made of a synthetic plastics material in the shape of a shallow tray having a base which is metallized on its internal or external surface. The shallow tray has a rim integral with the periphery of the base. The shape of the cross-section of the rim enables the peripheral edge at the front of the mirror to be convexly rounded to a required radius greater than the thickness of the base. The shape of the cross-section of the rim also serves to hold the base from distortion and so maintain...

A mirror arrangement including a transparent glass member, a translucent film behind the glass member, a light generating element having a configuration for conveying information when activated, the mirror arrangement functioning as an ordinary mirror when no voltage is applied to the light generating element such as an electroluminescent element while functioning as a light source or display panel when the voltage is applied to the light generating element, since the element energized emits lig...

In a mirror comprising a transparent glass plate provided at least partly with a rear-side reflecting coating as well as at least one integrated electrical means, the first glass plate comprises transparent and/or half-reflecting portions, the first glass plate is bonded to a second glass plate with the aid of a transparent adhesive layer in the form of a laminated glass pane, and electrical cal means are mounted in portions on an electrically conducting coating of the second glass plate facing ...

A mirror for attachment to an article including a frame having a reflective surface on one side and a plurality of straps including fasteners for attachment to the article with the reflective surface facing away from the article.

A mirror comprises a first layer being of a transparency, a second layer mounted on the first layer and being in the form of a translucent metal thin film with a thickness of less than 350.ANG., a third layer mounted on the second layer and being in the form of a transparent oxide or fluoride of a metal and a fourth layer mounted on the third layer and being in the form of a thin metal to be used as a reflecting member.

A mirror for examining a confined area such as an intraoral cavity including posterior teeth, distal and/or lingual sides of teeth, is provided. The mirror includes a lit fog-free and contaminant-free mirror. Basically, the mirror includes a holding stem component and a mirror component. In the holding stem portion, a battery, motor, and on/off switch and rotation speed controlling device are present. In the mirror portion, a mirror is adhered to a rotatable disk, which rotates inside a circular...

An apparatus includes a mirror. A body is adapted to couple to and support the mirror in multiple of orientations to allow the mirror to reflect light from and to multiple areas. Multiple tabs are coupled to the body and adapted to interfere with adjacent portions of a car seat, to which the body is mounted, and a rear ledge of a car to inhibit the body from moving relative to the car seat.

A freely rotatable microelectromechanical mirror and mirror array. Each mirror is connected to a plate flexibly suspended from a plurality of actuators by a plurality of plate flexures. The actuators are flexibly suspended from a support structure by a plurality of actuator flexures. The support structure is held above and electrically isolated from a reference layer by a plurality of standoff posts. The reference layer contains a plurality of actuation means such as control electrodes to move t...
