To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, Lovn C. THOMPSON, a citizen of the United States, residing at Canon City, in the county of Fremont and State of Colorado, have invented new and.

. party using the appliance" and bestadapted to throw the light so that the operation of shaving may be clearly observed at all times.

The invention contemplates a case of'novel formation, the case comprising foldable sections which are arranged to be extended and a folding shelf.

The invention consists of the novelfeatures, details of construction and combination of parts, which hereinafter will be more particularly set forth, illustrated in the accompanying drawings, and pointed out in the appended claim.

Referring to the drawings, forming a part of the s ecification, Figure 1 is a. perspective view 0 a shaving case embodying the invention, showing the parts extended. Fig.

7 2 is a vertical transverse section of the case,

illustrating the mountings therefor in elevation. Fig. 3 is a sectional view of'the case similar to Fig. 2 having the parts folded and showing the mountings applied to a wall or like fixed. support. Fig. 4 is a to plan view, the dotted lines showing an a justed position of the case when swung horizontally. Fig. 5 is a detail perspective view showin more clearly the catch and the sections 0% the case for holding the same when extended. Fig. 6 is a detail view of the lower portion of the body of the case, showing more particularly the means for pivotally connecting the folding shaft thereto.

Corresponding and like parts are referred to in the following descri tion, and indicated in all the views of t e drawings, by the same referencecharacters.

The case comprises two sections A and B, which are hinged at 1 to admit of the section A opening upward and resting upon section B. The sections A and B are of similar formation. The body section B comprises :side

pieces 6,. cross pieces 7- and. 8, a

ieces 2, a back 3, a to 4, and a bottom section com rises side a closure 9. When the covering section. isclosed, as indicated in Fig. 3, the closure 9 constitutes 'the front of the case and when the covering section is extended, as indicated in Figs. 1 and 2, the closure 9 forms the back thereof. A mirror 10 is secured tothe inner side of the closure 9 and is housed and protected by the case when the latter is closed and is exposed to view when the covering section is extended for use. The meeting. edges of the side pieces 2 and 6 are inclined and are in the same plane when the two sections A and B are extended. The body section B is provided with. a series of shelves 11 for receiving sundry articles, such as a brush, comb, the shaving mug, soap, razor, strop, and the like. The bottom 5 and also the cross piece 8 form additional shelves when the section A is extended. A folding shelf 12 is pivoted. at 13 to the lower forward corner portions of the side pieces 2 and is held in horizontal position by the rear portion underlapping the forward portion of the bottom 5. The shelf 12 when folded closes the space between the bottom 5 and the shelf 11 immediately thereabove, as indicated in Fig; 3. The shelf 12 when. folded :5. he covering prevents the mug or other heavy article placed upon the ttom 5 from coming in contact with the mirror 10' and injuring the same, which would be liable to occur from swinging the case quickly on its support. When the covering section A is extended it is held 0 en by means of a catch 14, which is secured at its lower end to the back 3 of the section B and having an opening near its free end to receive a in 15 extended from the part 9 of the section A. A finger piece 16 projects laterally from the catch 14 and is bent to extend along a side of the case to be conveniently engaged by the finger when it is required to release the catch 14:- from the pin 15 preliminary to folding the sectionA.

The case isprovided near its top and bottom with rearwardly extending ears 17,-

to anypos'ition from the support the ran 'ofadjustment or swing of the bracket 19. In the event of the bracket 19 being hinged to a wall,

artition, or like surface, it is evident that t e bracket may be swung so as to lie close a ainst said wall or supporting surface, wit the result that the case is caused to lie close against said wall.

and convenience of the person using the a pliance. The bracket 19 may be pivotal y supported or connected to the wall or, like supporting surface 1n any manner, and as shown up or and lower brackets 20 are provided and secured to the wall and their vertical pintles pass through vertical openings in the upper and lower members of the bracket 19, as indicated most clearly in Fi .3. In the construction shown in Figs. 1 and 2 the case may be adjusted to any height and for this purpose a stand 21 is supplied and a rod 22 is adjustable within the vertical portion of the stand and is secured in the adjusted position by means of a set screw 23 threaded into an opening formed in a side of the stand 21. The bracket 19 is mounted upon the rod 22 and may be secured thereon at any position. The rod 22 when ad'usted both vertically and angularly may secured to the stand 21 or like support in any manner, as by means of the set screw 23 in the manner well understood.

From the foregoing description, taken in connection the accompanying" drawings, the advanta es of the construction and of the method '0 operation will be readily hereto. 7 gular position best adapted to the height Having thus described the invention what is claimed as new, is 2- A case substantially as herein specified comprising similar sections which "are hingedly connected to admit of one section swinging upwardand over'the other seelion to rest thereon, the relatively fixed section comprising side pieces, a back, and transverse connecting pieces forming shelves and the swinging section comprising side pieces, upper and lower transverse connecting pieces and a closure, the side pieces of the two sections having their meeting edges inclined, a mirror fitted to the inner side of the closure of the swinging section, and a folding shelf adapted to close the space between two shelves of the fixed sectlon and forming a protector for the mirror applied to the swinging section.
