  • Wireless remote controlled mirror
    Patent number: 6585384
    Abstract: A wireless remote controlled mirror enabling a user to selectively adjust a view from a remote location. A preferred embodiment enables a driver to remotely control a mirror attached to a rear seat of a vehicle to remotely adjust the view of a child in a rear-facing safety seat. A preferred embodiment includes a base that mounts to an object (such as the safety seat or the rear seat), a reflective lens that moves relative to the base, one or more electric motors to drive the reflective lens, and a receiver that detects a command signal from a wireless remote controller and energizes the one or more motors to reorient the reflective lens to view the child. The mirror can alternatively be mounted on other portions of a vehicle, e.g., as a remote controlled side mirror.
