Abstract:
A swivel mirror assembly, the swivel mirror assembly comprising:a pair of structure connection assemblies for coupling to a vertical support surface; a frame assembly being pivotally coupled to each of said structure connection assemblies, said frame assembly comprising a first cross member, a second cross member, an inner frame member, and an outer frame member; a mirror assembly being pivotally coupled to said frame assembly, said mirror assembly including a mirror member and a plurality of mirror brackets for mounting said outer frame member of said frame assembly to a rear surface of said mirror member; each of said mirror brackets having an arcuate medial portion for receiving said outer frame member to facilitate pivoting of said mirror member relative to said frame assembly, said outer frame member being mounted to an outer portion of said mirror member such that an axis of rotation of said mirror member is substantially offset from a central longitudinal axis of said mirror member; wherein pivoting of said mirror member causes an inner portion of said mirror member to extend substantially away from said frame assembly such that said mirror member is positionable behind a user to permit viewing of a back side of a head of the user when used in conjunction with a stationary mirror; said arcuate medial portion of said mirror brackets including a circumferential band of predetermined width protruding inwardly; and said outer frame member including a pair of circumferential grooves extending the entire circumference of said outer frame member such that each groove receives said circumferential band of an associated one of said mirror brackets whereby longitudinal movement of said mirror assembly relative to said frame assembly is prevented when each of said grooves receives said circumferential band of said associated mirror bracket.
