Abstract: An annular Fresnel lens surrounds a tubular barrel or sleeve containing an objective lens system, which is focussed on an object that is positioned a predetermined distance beyond one end of the barrel. Four independently operable light sources are arranged in equi-angularly spaced relation around the outside of the lens barrel to direct light onto each of four mirrors, which are mounted in intersecting planes around the outside of the lens barrel to reflect light in four quadrants onto the side of the Fresnel lens remote from said object. The Fresnel lens focuses light from the mirrors obliquely onto the object, an image of which is thus projected by the objective lens through the lens barrel toward, for example, a video sensor, which forms part of a video inspection machine.

Abstract: A vehicle visor having a mirror and cover includes a body member with one of a socket or pivot axle for receiving, in a snap-in fashion, the cover which includes the other of a socket or axle and pivotally moves with respect to the body member between closed and open positions.

Abstract: A lighting display of relatively thin proportions producing a visual image of substantial depth by creating multiple reflections of light sources and objects within a narrow space. The space is defined by a vertical, rear mirror plate and a front one-way mirror which appears substantially transparent from a viewer area. Images from the light sources in the spaces are repeatedly reflected back-and-forth between the front and rear mirrors.

Abstract: A display device which imparts to the observer an illusion of depth. The device includes a partially silvered front mirror, illuminating means disposed behind this front mirror, and a fully silvered rear mirror positioned behind the illuminating means such that its reflective surface is parallel to and facing the partially silvered front mirror. The illusion of depth results from the successive reflections of the light from the illuminating means between the two mirrors, establishing a series of virtual images which appear to extend back into the device.

Abstract: A multipurpose light with mirror for use with a lady's handbag, or use with articles of wearing apparel to assist the wearer in performing operations at night which without sufficient light would be unsafe or difficult to perform. The basic structure is a container made of light diffusing and transmitting material having energy cells or batteries contained therein together with two light emitting devices, all connected with appropriate wiring and a three-way switch. The switch permits one of the light devices to provide light for illumination of the light diffusing and transmitting border of the container, while another position of the switch turns off this light and turns on the other illuminating device for projecting a beam of light away from the container.
