Deployable tactical room clearing mirrors
View Patent ↗A tactical mirror system includes a convex mirror that may be rapidly deployed and adhesively affixed to a room entry door to provide a room entry team member with a view of the room interior from a concealed cover position outside the room adjacent to the doorway is disclosed. A rip-cord is affixed to allow the user to peel away a protective layer thereby exposing an adhesive coated surface thereby allowing for rapid affixation of the mirror. A pair of diametrically opposed notches and a resilient transversely disposed band that function to allow the mirror device to be removably mounted to a baton to allow a room entry team member to manually extend and position the mirror. A plurality of mirrors may be provided and configured for compact nested storage thereby providing the user with a plurality of deployable mirror devices.
1. A tactical mirror comprising:
a mirror apparatus having a front side and an opposing rear side;
said front side including a mirror surface;
said rear side including at least one planar mounting surface;
said planar mounting surface having an adhesive layer; and
said front side defining a shape configured to receive the back side of a second mirror apparatus in a nested configuration.
2. The tactical mirror according to claim 1 wherein said mirror surface is convex.
3. The tactical mirror according to claim 1 further including a peel-away protective strip disposed in removable covering relation with said adhesive layer.
4. The tactical mirror according to claim 3 further including a cord connected to said protective strip to facilitate removal thereof.
5. The tactical mirror according to claim 1 wherein said mirror apparatus includes a peripheral edge, said peripheral edge defining a pair or opposing notches, and resilient transversely disposed band, whereby said and said band facilitate the mounting of the tactical mirror to a baton.
6. The tactical mirror according to claim 1 wherein said mirror apparatus is generally circular.
7. A tactical mirror comprising:
a mirror apparatus having a front side, an opposing rear side, and a generally circular peripheral edge;
said front side including a convex mirror surface;
said peripheral edge defining a pair of diametrically opposed notches;
a resilient band having opposing ends connected to the rear side of said mirror apparatus, said resilient band substantially traversing said rear side;
said rear side including a pair of diametrically opposed planar mounting surfaces;
each of said planar mounting surfaces having an adhesive layer, and a peel-away protective strip disposed in removable covering relation with said adhesive layer; and
a rip-cord attached to each of said protective strips, whereby said rip-cord allows for rapid removal of said protective strips thereby allowing said mirror apparatus to be adhesively affixed to a surface.
8. The tactical mirror according to claim 7 , wherein said band has opposing ends affixed to said mirror apparatus each of said opposing ends being disposed approximately 90-degrees relative to said notches.
9. The tactical mirror according to claim 7 , wherein a plurality of said mirror apparatus may be disposed in a compact nested configuration.
10. The tactical mirror according to claim 7 , further including a baton, said mirror apparatus mountable on said baton with said notches receiving portions of said baton and said resilient band securing said mirror apparatus relative to said baton.
