  • Patent number: 8807767
    Abstract: Corner cube retroreflector apparatus. At least one of the illustrative embodiments is an apparatus with three plates, each with a face, each adjoined substantially perpendicular and substantially normal to each other; an alignment device coupled to the first plate face with an adjustable plate substantially parallel to the first plate face and movably coupled to the first plate, and adjustable with respect to an angular relationship with the second and third plates; a second alignment device coupled to the second plate face with an adjustable plate substantially parallel to the second plate face and movably coupled to the second plate, and adjustable with respect to an angular relationship with the first and third plates; attachment appurtenances on both alignment devices which holds components of the retroreflective device onto the alignment devices during assembly; and apertures through which portions of the retroreflective device are accessible during assembly.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8651674
    Abstract: A method of assembling a retroreflective device comprising arranging a first, a second, and a third reflective surface normal to one another; observing an angular relationship between the reflective surfaces; adjusting the angular relationship between the reflective surfaces; and adjoining the reflective surfaces with supporting members and an adhesive, wherein the supporting members are of substantially the same material as the substrate of the reflective surfaces, have a cross-sectional shape that is complimentary to the edges of the reflective surfaces, and are arranged along the adjacent edges of the reflective surfaces.
