摘要

A mirror assembly for use with a warning light which has a reflector that is rotatable about a focal point of the reflector for rotating a beam of light emanating from a lamp located at the focal point. The mirror assembly comprises a surface for intercepting the beam of light over a portion of a full rotation; a first set of first, second and third mirrors mounted to the attachment for reflecting the intercepted light in a predetermined direction, where each of the mirrors is positioned to reflect light at a different angle in the rotation of the beam such that the reflections occur first from the first mirror, then from the second mirror and finally from the third mirror; and a port between the first and third mirrors for passing light to the second mirror such that the reflected beam from the second mirror is further from the focal point than the reflected beams from the first and third mirrors. A second set of first, second and third mirrors may also be mounted onto the mirror assembly opposite to the first set of mirrors. The present invention further provides warning lights which may be used either alone or in combination with the aforesaid mirror assembly. One embodiment of these lights comprises a base section including a magnet for mounting the warning light assembly to a metallic surface; a reflector mounted in the base section for rotation about a focal point of the reflector; a lamp mounted in the base section at the focal point; a dome attached to the base section for transmitting a beam of light formed by the reflector from light emanating from the lamp; a manually operable mechanism mounted to the base section and having variable positions; and means responsive to the mechanism for rotating the reflector at different speeds when the mechanism is in different positions. A further embodiment of the warning lights of the present invention provides an oscillating beam of light. This light comprises a base section including means for securing the warning light to a surface; a reflector mounted in the base section to a gear for rotation about an axis containing a focal point of the reflector; a lamp mounted in the base section and at the focal point; a motor mounted in the base section for continuous rotation in a single direction and directly driving a worm gear comprising a worm and worm wheel so as to impart the continuous rotation to the worm wheel in a single direction; and means connecting the worm wheel to the gear supporting the reflector for translating the continuous rotation of the worm wheel to an oscillating movement for the gear and the reflector. The design of the aforesaid warning light also includes a provision for either directly manufacturing a warning light, or modifying an existing oscillating warning light, such that the beam of light is capable of rotating 360 DEG about the warning light. Further, the same may be accomplished regarding the direct manufacture of a warning light, or a modification of an existing 360 DEG rotating light, such that the beam of light oscillates about the warning light.
