A rearview mirror that is attached to the front surface; left or right side, of any type of eyewear where rear viewing is needed, but especially designed with sportswear in mind. This design is unique because of how and it is attached; to the surface of the eyewear by so-called socketed suction cup; truly held on by atmospheric pressure. The cup being about ¼″ inch in diameter can hold on with about 4 lbs of force with a gentle touch because it is made of pliable rubber. The interior of the suction cup has a ball socket housing; both socket and suction cup is all one piece. The stem and ball, is a part of the plastic housing, which encases the mirror, which is all one piece, with smooth rounded edges for safety. The plastic housing exterior acts as an airfoil plate, designed and shaped in such a way to give way to the wind, and cause less turbulence. The ball and socket allows the mirror to swivel in all directions from 0-45 degrees of adjustment in angle, which is adjusted by hand. The mirror can be placed laterally across the eyewear lens also for adjustment without obscuring the frontal view. Facing straight ahead with a slight glance of the eye to the left (right if placed on the right side) as you would do when driving an automobile, you will get 40 to 70 degree rearward view while looking straight ahead; approximately ⅞ by 1½ inch wide mirror. The mirror will enable the user to complete a 365-degree viewing area with only a 45-degree turn of the head to a left then right direction. The mirror is placed in a strategic position on the lens of the eyewear in close proximity to the eye, but not an off-to-the side angle that can strain the eye. This slight 20-degree glance, affords the eye a wide field of view. |
