  • Patent number: 6069340
    Abstract: An electrode holder mirror device for welding purposes and method therefor comprises a body structure which comprises an open sleeve member and a flange section. The flange section functions to releasably engage a handle portion of an electrode holder through usage of a fastening means. A telescoping mirror assembly comprises a telescoping male member releasably inserted into the open sleeve member at one end thereof. A mirror housing is rigidly affixed to a distal end of the telescoping male member. The telescoping male member and swivel means function to position the mirror rotationally about its longitudinal and latitudinal axes, allowing the device to be placed in a position to allow a welder to adequately view a process being performed. The position of the mirror about its longitudinal and latitudinal axes may adjusted manually or automatically, wherein a substantially crescent-shaped trigger mechanism allows a welder to adjust the mirror with one finger while wearing welding gloves.
