It does not account for terminal disclaimers, term adjustments, failure to pay maintenance fees, or other factors which might affect the term of a patent.Patent ReferencesMirrors with a variable focal distance Flexible mirror assembly Curved reflector with adjustable focal length Flexible mirror device Adjustable mirror assembly Variable focal length mirror assembly including a flexible membrane Viewing assembly for producing an optically corrected reflected image Slimming mirror Micromotion amplifier Deformable mirror for short wavelength applications Patent #: 5986795 InventorApplicationNo. 680962 filed on 10/06/2000US Classes:359/871With supportExaminersPrimary: Sikder, MohammadAttorney, Agent or FirmInternational ClassG02B 007/182AbstractAn adjustable mirror device comprises a flexible mirror element mounted in a frame. The frame has a back plate normally parallel to the flexible mirror element and a handle extending from the bottom of the frame. Adjustment elements are located between the flexible mirror element and the back plate and are operatively connected to control means normally located at the junction of the handle to the frame. Actuation of the control means causes concomitant lateral movement of the associated adjustment element to flex or relax a portion of the mirror element so as to vary the contour thereof and hence an image received therefrom to achieve a modified or distorted image of a person viewing their image in the adjustable mirror device.Field of SearchWith supportMirror movable relative to support With rotary to linear motion converting mirror adjustment With rotation of mirror about perpendicular axes With switch or motor controlling mirror movement Fluid pressure actuated Plural mirrors or reflecting surfaces Composite or echelon mirrors or light concentrating array By moving a reflective element Reflective element moved by deformable support Including specified control or retention of the shape of a mirror surface Membrane mirror in mechanical contact only at its edge With structure to minimize internal mirror stress Including a plurality of adjustable mirror supports | |
