Abstract
An improved hollow retroreflector assembly with a hard mount assembly is provided, comprising a hollow retroreflector assembly adhered onto a mounting member. The hollow retroreflector has three plates having optically flat reflective surfaces disposed at right angles to each other and non-reflective surfaces opposite to the reflective surfaces of the plates. Each of the plates has first and second sides disposed at right angles to each other, the first side of each plate abutting and being adhered to the reflective surface of the plate adjacent to it. The mounting member has first and second receiving surfaces disposed at right angles to each other. The first receiving surface has adhered to it a portion of the first side of one of the plates, and the second receiving surface has adhered thereto a portion of the second side of the same plate. The mounting member also has a base member having a threaded bore extending therein for receipt of a correspondingly threaded member extending from a support.
