ADJUSTABLE ramnoa surron'r.

universal manipulation of a plurality of.

mirrors for toilet purposes and for the use of milliners, doctors and other specialists requiring an indefinite variety of' mirror adjustments.

To these ends, ,my invention consists in the combination of elements hereinafter more particularly described and definitely pointed out in the claims.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a rear elevation of a device, embodying the features of my invention. Fig. 2 is a view of one of the mirrors as itwould appear in its supporting Fig. 3 is a vertical section taken upon the line 3, Fig. 1. Fig. 4: is a plan view of the main extensible supporting part. Fig. 5 is a face of the clip which supports the expansible mirror-holding arms, and Fig. 6 is a section taken upon the line 6-6, Fig. 2, viewed in the direction of the arrow there shown.

Referring to the drawings, 1 indicates a base member which may be placed upon a table or other support or if desired, secured as a bracket to a wall or upright by means of a central screw or bolt. Pivoted to the base 1, at a plurality of equi-distant points 2, preferably three in number, which are equi-distan't from a common center, .are pairs of parallel bars 3, which are in turn jointedly connected at 4, to like bars 5, the outer ends of which are jointedly attached by means of rivets 6, to lugs 7, formed upon body parts 8, attached by means of rivets 9,

to a tubular member or ring 10.

Pivotally secured to the upper part of the tube 10 at diametrically opposite points 11, 11, are lugs 12, 12, which areintegral with a connecting plate 13. This plate in turn is centrally pivoted at 141, to a. flat plate 15, having slots 16,16 therein arranged in aline- Specification of Letters Patent.

ment with each other and equally distant from the pivotal point 1 1. Extending loosely through the slots 16, so as to be moved therein, are rivets 17, 17, which are passed through bores in, and serve to connect and form pivots for counterpart lazy- tongs members 18, 19, and 20, 21, respectively. WVashers' 22,

Figs. 3 and 4:, are interposed between the plate 15 and said lazy-tongs members.

'Connectedwith the lazy- tongs members 18, 19, 20 and 21, by means of rivets in a well known way, so as to extend in opposite directions from the central pivoted supportingplate 15, are similar lazy-tongs members, generally designated by 23 in Fig. 1. The rivets 2andj25, in the end members 26 and 27, respectively, are passed through slots 28, 29 in bracket members 30, also shown in Fig. 2, having'lugs'31Q, 31, jointedly connectedat 32 tocounterpart lugs33,

33 upon oppositely extended curved arms 3 1, 3 1, which are in turn pivotally connected at diametrically opposite points to the frame 36, of a m'irror'generally designated by'37, one mirror being at the, end of each lazytongs extension. It will be noted that the backs of the mirrors are shown in 1, and the front in Fig. 2. In Fig. 6 is shown a cross section of the circular frame andthe manner in which the glass and backing are secured therein.

Each of the several joints of themain support as well as those'of thelazy-tongs extension, are. adjusted by tightening the rivets so as to produce suflicient friction therein to maintain the parts in any prede- 'termined position in which they may be placed. or exam le. the height of the supporting ring 8. which with its connections supports. For the purpose of extending or retracting said arms or lazv-tongs exten- 'sions. I provide arms 38, 39, Fig. 1. the

drawing together or separation of which 7 may enable said parts to beextended or retracted to any desired extent, or swung upon the universal joint to any position,

horizontal, vertical or otherwise to suit the Should the part requirements of the user. 1 be placed upon a table, itis obvious that the adjustable parts connected therewith would extend upwardly and their adjustment would merely serve to raise or lower cause the universal joint support to be' moved horizontally so as to hold the mirror supporting arms at any desired distance away from the wall.

The advantages of my improved device for the purposes intended are too obvious to require special mention. It'will be noted that the main extensible supports and the extensible mirror supporting arms balanced upon a universal joint, afford facilities for unlimited adjustment while in use and enabletheparts to be compactly folded when not in use.

Having thus described my invention, I claim:

1. An adjustable mirror support, comprising in combination, a base, a tripod form of support having jointed outwardly folding legs, the lower ends of which are j ointedly 7 attached to said base andthe up per ends to a common connecting member having vertical axis, a laterally extended supporting member pivotally connected upon a horizontal axis to said common connecting member, mirror supporting means pivotally mounted uponsaid laterally ex tended supporting member, the axes of the 30 two having a rectangular relation to each other, and mirrors mounted upon sald mirror supporting means- I 2. An adjustable mirror support, comprising, in combination, a base, a tripod form of support having jointed, outwardly folding legs, the'lower ends of which are jointedly attached to said base and the upper ends to a common connecting member having a vertical axis, a laterally extended supporting member pivotally connected upon a horizontal axis to said common connecting member, extensible mirror supporting arms pivotally mounted between their ends'upon said latera'lly'extended supporting member, theaxes oi the pivots for supporting said laterally extendedmember, and said arms respectively having a rectangular relation to each other and mirrors mounted upon said extensible arms.

In testimony whereof, I have signed this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses, this 29th day of October, 1914.
