Infant observation mirror assembly with temperature display attachable to automobile seat
Infant observation mirror assembly with temperature display for attachment to a top portion of a rear vehicle seat includes a main panel having opposed front and rear surfaces and a mirror embedded in the front surface thereof. The mirror assembly further includes a temperature display section defined on the front surface of the main panel. A positioning base is coupled to the rear surface of the main panel. The main panel is pivotably attached to the positioning base for allowing rotation about a horizontal axis and a vertical axis. A mounting harness attaches to the positioning base. The mounting harness removably attaches to the top portion of the rear vehicle seat to hold the mirror assembly in a selected lateral and vertical position on the rear vehicle seat.
1. An infant observation mirror assembly for attachment to a top portion of a vehicle seat, the mirror assembly comprising:
a main panel having opposed front and rear surfaces and a mirror embedded in the front surface thereof;
a temperature display section defined on the front surface of the main panel;
a positioning base coupled to the rear surface of the main panel whereby the main panel is pivotably attached to the positioning base for allowing rotation about a horizontal axis and a vertical axis;
a mounting harness attached to the positioning base, the mounting harness removably attachable to the top portion of a vehicle's seat to thereby hold the mirror assembly in a selected lateral and vertical position on the vehicle's seat; and
at least one temperature sensor that is configured to sense an ambient temperature contiguous to the main panel,
wherein the temperature display section is in communication with the at least one temperature sensor and displays the ambient temperature sensed contiguous to the main panel.
2. The mirror assembly of claim 1 , wherein the temperature display section is positioned at or near a top left corner of the front surface of the main panel.
3. The mirror assembly of claim 1 , wherein the temperature display section is positioned at a top central region of the front surface of the main panel.
4. The mirror assembly of claim 1 , wherein the temperature display section is positioned above the mirror to provide an unobstructed reflected image in the mirror.
5. The mirror assembly of claim 1 , wherein the temperature display section is configured for displaying temperature in Celsius and Fahrenheit units.
6. The mirror assembly of claim 1 , wherein the mirror assembly further includes a power source configured to power the temperature display section and the at least one temperature sensor, wherein the power source is engageable along a rear surface.
7. The mirror assembly of claim 1 , wherein the main panel further includes a lighting mechanism comprising a light configured to illuminate a face of an infant within a car safety seat attached to the vehicle seat.
8. The mirror assembly of claim 1 , wherein the positioning base comprises an extension arm having a terminal end comprising a ball extending away from the positioning base, wherein the terminal end comprises a ball configured to pivotally engage and be enclosed by a socket disposed along a portion of the rear surface of the main panel.
9. The mirror assembly of claim 1 , wherein the mounting harness includes straps, each strap having a first end comprising a snap connections and a second end comprising a loop configured to enclose and attach to a peripheral portion of the positioning base.
10. The mirror assembly of claim 1 , wherein the main panel includes an edging comprising a soft material.
11. The mirror assembly of claim 1 , wherein the mirror is shatter proof.
12. The mirror assembly of claim 1 , wherein the mirror has a wide-angle whereby a width of the mirror is between 1.5 and 5 times a height of the mirror.
13. The mirror assembly of claim 1 , wherein the mirror is distortion-free.
14. The mirror assembly of claim 1 , wherein the temperature display section is configured to display a mirror image of a sensed temperature.
15. The mirror assembly of claim 1 , further comprising a remote control toggle switch in operable communication with the temperature display section to switch the ambient temperature to and from a mirror-image of the ambient temperature.
16. The mirror assembly of claim 1 , wherein the mirror comprises a non-glass reflective coating.
17. The mirror assembly of claim 1 , further comprising a motorized control disposed within at least one of the main panel and the positioning base and configured to position the main panel relative to the positioning base.
18. The mirror assembly of claim 17 , wherein the motorized control is in communication with a switch.
