DEFINITION

Classification: 359/546

Discrete reflecting elements formed as a unitary mass:

(under subclass 515) Subject matter wherein a plurality of reflective elements are each part of a unitary plate or sheet.

(1) Note. This unitary mass performs the actual reflection of the incoming beam.

(2) Note. This includes a single glass reflector having multiple facets.

(3) Note. The individual reflectors are arranged to reflect light as if it came from one single reflector having a particular characteristic.
