ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a mirror and sound system for a rear seat of a vehicle and more particularly pertains to a new adjustable mirror and sound system for viewing the rear seat of a vehicle for allowing the driver of the vehicle to keep watch on a child seated in the rear seat behind the driver.
2. Description of the Prior Art
The use of a mirror and sound system for a rear seat of a vehicle is known in the prior art. More specifically, a mirror and sound system for a rear seat of a vehicle heretofore devised and utilized are known to consist basically of familiar, expected and obvious structural configurations, notwithstanding the myriad of designs encompassed by the crowded prior art which have been developed for the fulfillment of countless objectives and requirements.
Known prior art includes U.S. Pat. No. 4,733,956; U.S. Pat. No. 5,285,321; U.S. Pat. No. 4,902,118; U.S. Pat. No. 4,712.892; U.S. Pat. No. 4,359,266; and U.S. Pat. No. Des. 332,076.
While these devices fulfill their respective, particular objectives and requirements, the aforementioned patents do not disclose a new adjustable mirror and sound system for viewing the rear seat of a vehicle. The inventive device includes a clamping assembly being adapted to securely clamp to a child's seat in a rear seat of a vehicle; and also includes a mirror and sound support assembly including an elongate support member having a first end and a second end which is securely attached to the clamping assembly; and further includes a mirror and sound assembly being adjustably mounted to the mirror and sound support assembly; and also includes a mirror and sound system control assembly for adjusting positioning, volume, and lighting of the mirror and sound assembly.
In these respects, the adjustable mirror and sound system for viewing the rear seat of a vehicle according to the present invention substantially departs from the conventional concepts and designs of the prior art, and in so doing provides an apparatus primarily developed for the purpose of allowing the driver of the vehicle to keep watch on a child seated in the rear seat behind the driver.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
In view of the foregoing disadvantages inherent in the known types of mirror and sound system for a rear seat of a vehicle now present in the prior art, the present invention provides a new adjustable mirror and sound system for viewing the rear seat of a vehicle construction wherein the same can be utilized for allowing the driver of the vehicle to keep watch on a child seated in the rear scat behind the driver.
The general purpose of the present invention, which will be described subsequently in greater detail, is to provide a new adjustable mirror and sound system for viewing the rear seat of a vehicle which has many of the advantages of the mirror and sound system for a rear seat of a vehicle mentioned heretofore and many novel features that result in a new adjustable mirror and sound system for viewing the rear seat of a vehicle which is not anticipated, rendered obvious, suggested, or even implied by any of the prior art mirror and sound system for a rear seat of a vehicle, either alone or in any combination thereof.
To attain this, the present invention generally comprises a clamping assembly being adapted to securely clamp to a child's seat in a rear seat of a vehicle; and also includes a mirror and sound support assembly including an elongate support member having a first end and a second end which is securely attached to the clamping assembly; and further includes a mirror and sound assembly being adjustably mounted to the mirror and sound support assembly; and also includes a mirror and sound system control assembly for adjusting positioning, volume, and lighting of the mirror and sound assembly.
There has thus been outlined, rather broadly, the more important features of the invention in order that the detailed description thereof that follows may be better understood, and in order that the present contribution to the art may be better appreciated. There are additional features of the invention that will be described hereinafter and which will form the subject matter of the claims appended hereto.
In this respect, before explaining at least one embodiment of the invention in detail, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited in its application to the details of construction and to the arrangements of the components set forth in the following description or illustrated in the drawings. The invention is capable of other embodiments and of being practiced and carried out in various ways. Also, it is to be understood that the phraseology and terminology employed herein are for the purpose of description and should not be regarded as limiting.
As such, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the conception, upon which this disclosure is based, may readily be utilized as a basis for the designing of other structures, methods and systems for carrying out the several purposes of the present invention. It is important, therefore, that the claims be regarded as including such equivalent constructions insofar as they do not depart from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
Further, the purpose of the foregoing abstract is to enable the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and the public generally, and especially the scientists, engineers and practitioners in the art who are not familiar with patent or legal terms or phraseology, to determine quickly from a cursory inspection the nature and essence of the technical disclosure of the application. The abstract is neither intended to define the invention of the application, which is measured by the claims, nor is it intended to be limiting as to the scope of the invention in any way.
It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a new adjustable mirror and sound system for viewing the rear seat of a vehicle which has many of the advantages of the mirror and sound system for a rear seat of a vehicle mentioned heretofore and many novel features that result in a new adjustable mirror and sound system for viewing the rear seat of a vehicle which is not anticipated, rendered obvious, suggested, or even implied by any of the prior art mirror and sound system for a rear seat of a vehicle, either alone or in any combination thereof.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a new adjustable mirror and sound system for viewing the rear seat of a vehicle which may be easily and efficiently manufactured and marketed.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a new adjustable mirror and sound system for viewing the rear seat of a vehicle which is of a durable and reliable construction.
An even further object of the present invention is to provide a new adjustable mirror and sound system for viewing the rear seat of a vehicle which is susceptible of a low cost of manufacture with regard to both materials and labor, and which accordingly is then susceptible of low prices of sale to the consuming public, thereby making such adjustable mirror and sound system for viewing the rear seat of a vehicle economically available to the buying public.
Still yet another object of the present invention is to provide a new adjustable mirror and sound system for viewing the rear seat of a vehicle which provides in the apparatuses and methods of the prior art some of the advantages thereof, while simultaneously overcoming some of the disadvantages normally associated therewith.
Still another object of the present invention is to provide a new adjustable mirror and sound system for viewing the rear seat of a vehicle for allowing the driver of the vehicle to keep watch on a child seated in the rear seat behind the driver.
Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a new adjustable mirror and sound system for viewing the rear seat of a vehicle which includes a clamping assembly being adapted to securely clamp to a child's car seat inside of a passenger compartment of a vehicl
