Patent ID: 7273307

Claim:
A signaling assembly comprising: a semitransparent mirror having first forward and first rearward facing surfaces; an opaque layer attached to the rearward facing surface of the semitransparent mirror, and which defines a first aperture through which visible light may pass; a reflector member positioned, at least in part, within the aperture which is defined by the opaque layer, and which further has a surface which reflects visibly discernable light; a circuit board having a second forward, and a second rearward facing surface, and defining a second aperture through which visible light may pass; and an electromagnetic radiation emitter mounted on the second rearward facing surface, which is defined by the circuit board, and which is positioned in substantially coaxial alignment relative to the second aperture, which is defined by the circuit board, and which, when energized, emits visibly discernable electromagnetic radiation which passes through the first and second apertures, which are defined by the opaque layer, and the circuit board, and which further is reflected, at least in part, by the reflector member so as to pass through the semitransparent mirror to form a resulting visible signal.
