Abstract:
A bicycle mirror device is provided for rear viewing of traffic when a bicycle rider is in different riding positions. The bicycle mirror device includes a mounting bracket, attached to a bicycle helmet or eye glasses, and mirrors pivotally mounted to the mounting arms. The mounting arms may be attached to the helmet or eye glasses through an extension arm connected to the helmet or eye glasses through a quick-connect system. A method for using the bicycle mirror device includes mounting the mirror device on a helmet or eye glasses, rotating a first mirror to view a first rear-view angle for a cyclist in a low riding position, rotating a second mirror to view a second rear-view angle for the cyclist in an upright riding position, and viewing a plurality of rear view angles without readjusting the first or second mirror.
Abstract:

The groove part resides on the outside of the handlebar. The inner portion of the mirror mount fits inside the handlebar. The mirror mount has an outer portion that is on the outside of the handlebar. The mirror mount has a specific location thereon where a point of physical contact can be made with the handlebar.
Abstract:
A method for manufacturing a rear-view mirror for a two-wheeled vehicle, the rear-view mirror comprising a housing and a reflective surface. In order to make the manufacture of the rear-view mirror simpler and more cost-effective, and in order to improve the mirror in terms of safety and design aspects the method including the steps of: manufacturing a blank for the housing from a metal, preferably aluminium, and forming the reflective surface as an integral component of the housing by mechanically machining at least a part of a surface of the housing, such that the reflective surface is formed in one piece with the housing. Subsequently, the reflective surface can be provided with a transparent protective layer. Furthermore, the housing can be provided with any desired external contour by mechanical machining.

Abstract:
A direction indicator and rearview mirror structure for a vehicle includes a direction indicator and a rearview mirror having a mirror housing. The direction indicator angularly and adjustably supports the mirror housing. The mirror housing is mounted with at least a part thereof disposed above and in front of the direction indicator. In a plan view, the mirror housing overlaps the direction indicator at least partially and covers the direction indicator from above. A recessed portion housing an upper part of a vehicle-widthwise outer part of the direction indicator is formed in a lower part of the mirror housing. In a side view, a front part of the recessed portion with respect to a vehicle body protrudes forward and downward with respect to the vehicle body and serves as an eaves portion covering a front upper part of the direction indicator.
Abstract:
A multifunctional motorcycle rearview mirror structure includes a rearview mirror and a journey data recorder. The rearview mirror is mounted to a motorcycle and has a major surface that forms a mirror surface in which a display is mounted and an opposite major surface in which a coupling trough including two first electrical conduction sections is formed and includes a control module and a GPS signal transmitter/receiver unit mounted therein. The journey data recorder is removably coupled to the coupling trough of the rearview mirror and includes two second electrical conduction sections respectively corresponding to the first electrical conduction sections. As such, the journey data recorder is coupled to the coupling trough of the rearview mirror with electrical engagement established between the first and second electrical conduction sections. The GPS signal transmitter/receiver unit receives a GPS signal to achieve GPS navigation that is displayable on the display.
Abstract:
Bicycle (1) provided with a saddle (2) and a reflective surface (12) that enables a user of the bicycle (1) to look backwards or forwards, characterised in that the reflective surface (12) is affixed in such a location on the bicycle (1) that it is lower than the highest point of the saddle (5).
Abstract:
A side mirror includes a mount seat mounted to a front cowl that covers a portion of the front of a vehicle body, a mirror stay supported on the mount seat with a basal end thereof supported in a turnable manner, and a mirror provided at a tip end of the mirror stay. The mount seat includes a base portion 41a extended in one direction and mounted to the front cowl, and a support portion provided on the base portion 41a to support the basal end of the mirror stay so that a direction Dp in which a turning shaft of the mirror stay extends is inclined to a length direction DL of the base portion. With this structure, a side mirror increased in degree of freedom in selecting a mount position on a front cowl can be provided.
Abstract:
A wide angle center mounted motorcycle blind spot mirror that is mounted forward and above the motorcycle instrument panel clocks directly in the riders line of view that will give full visual coverage of the riders blind spot areas including the rider also, the mirror, can have several mounting points including the fly screen, fairing, headlamp, handle bars or the like.
Abstract:
A hand-wearing assembly has a main body and a side mirror mount. The main body is a loop and has a connecting top. The side mirror mount is connected with and stands on the connecting top and has a mirror face facing a rear end of the connecting top and is capable of being connected with a side mirror. The side mirror mount allows the side mirror to stand above a wrist or a back of a hand. Accordingly, a rider can see a rear sight at ease via the standing mirror. With a slight movement of the hand, the position of the side mirror is easily adjusted to enable the rider to see all the rear area from all directions, or to check the positions of the following cyclists.
