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.
