Patent ID: 7090378

Claim:
An illuminated travel mirror comprising; a. a base, an elongated handle which has a lower end pivotably mounted to said base by a handle joint, a dual mirror assembly telescopically mounted to an upper end of said handle assembly and which includes a first, primary mirror frame which holds a circular primary mirror that is effective in producing reflected images having a first magnification factor and an annular ring-shaped peripheral illumination source that at least partially circumscribes said primary mirror, a secondary, upper mirror frame which is pivotably connected by a hinge coupler to an upper part of said primary mirror frame at a location opposite to said end joined to said handle and which includes a second, secondary mirror having a different magnification factor than that of said primary mirror and which is circumscribed by a light transmissive peripheral frame portion or bezel, said hinge coupler connecting said secondary frame to said primary frame being so constructed as to enable said secondary mirror frame to be pivoted about a transverse axle of said hinge coupler away from a compact storage and transit configuration overlying said primary mirror frame to a use configuration disposed radially outwardly from said primary mirror frame, whereby said annular illumination source is enabled to illuminate an object field in front of said primary mirror, and whereby said secondary mirror frame is rotatable about a radially disposed swivel axis of said hinge coupler to position said reflective surface of said secondary mirror facing away from said primary mirror, and said secondary mirror frame pivoted towards an orientation overlying said primary mirror and illumination source, whereby light from said illumination source is enabled to be transmitted through said annular light-transmissive bezel ring of said secondary mirror, and thereby illuminate an object field in front of said reflective surface of said secondary mirror.
