Abstract
A circular rear view eyewear mirror, approximately 9 min. in diameter, consisting of a reflective surface permanently attached with epoxy adhesive to a cylindrical plastic base with one end obliquely cross-sectioned to form an ellipse. The angle formed by this oblique cross-sectioning of the base allows the rear view eyewear mirror to fit differing types of eyewear, including modern wrap-around sports eyewear. The elliptical end is attached semi-permanently to the rearward surface of the eyewear lens with double-backed adhesive tape. These elements, when assembled, are considered one piece in use and have no moving parts in relation to each other. The rear view eyewear mirror may be angularly adjusted by clockwise or counter-clockwise rotation before semi-permanent attachment by rotation upon the rearward surface of the eyewear lens. This adjustment of the rear view eyewear mirror allows for angular adjustment of the image seen by the wearer. Normal forward vision through the eyewear lens is not impeded by the rear view eyewear mirror. The attachment of the rear view eyewear mirror is semi-permanent because the mirror may be easily removed and re-positioned without scratching or marring the rearward surface of the eyewear lens. The adjustment of the rear view eyewear mirror, once semi-permanently attached to the eyewear lens, remains unaffected by normal use of the eyewear and holds its initial adjustment even when bumped or jarred. The rear view eyewear mirror may be attached to either the right or left eyewear lens for use by the right or left eye, or both.
