  • Rearview mirror mounted detection signal sensor system
    Patent number: 5684488
    Abstract: A speed detection signal sensor system for use with a vehicle. The system includes a signal sensing device positioned in a housing assembly. The housing assembly includes a reflective portion such as a mirror. The sensing device is positioned between the reflective portion and the housing. A sensor is positioned relative to the housing assembly and the reflective portion for sensing a speed detection signal which is directed towards the vehicle either from a forward position or a rearward position relative to the vehicle. A signal sensing indicator may be positioned relative to the housing assembly and generally in the reflective portion. Alternatively, the signal sensing indicator may be positioned externally of the housing assembly for attachment in a convenient location. The signal sensing indicator provides indicia that a speed detecting signal has been sensed by the detecting device.
