REAR VIEWING APPARATUS FOR ATTACHMENT TO HEADGEAR AND RELATED METHODS

摘要

The present invention provides improved mirror assembly for safety headgear and the like. The mirror assemblies of the present invention may advantageously allow the wearer to quickly view areas peripheral to and behind the forward field of vision quickly without the need for large movements. Additionally, the mirror assembly includes anchoring mechanisms that sturdily attach the mirror assembly to the headgear such that it is unlikely to be displaced or jostled during violent movement or a collision.

主权项

1. An attachable mirror device, comprising:
a. at least one anchoring member for attaching to a structure on a helmet,
i. said anchoring member having at least two clamping members that apply pressure to structure on said helmet, andii. a locking mechanism for arresting the position of said at least two clamping members relative to one another; b. a housing attached to said at least one anchoring member; and c. a convex mirror attached to said housing through a rotatable joint, wherein said convex mirror has an elongate structure providing a broad field of vision of the areas that are peripheral and behind the helmet.
