Patent ID: 8162502

Claim:
A mirror comprising; a. a mirror assembly including a mirror frame holding therein at least a first imaging reflective mirror plate, said first reflective mirror plate having an axially outwardly facing imaging light reflective surface and a light transmissive region adjacent to said light reflective surface, b. an electrically energizable illumination source located within said frame axially inwardly of said light transmissive region of said first reflective mirror plate, c. a yoke having a pair of opposed arms for rotatably supporting therebetween said mirror frame, and d. an electrical power coupling mechanism for providing electrical power to said illumination source, said electrical power coupling mechanism including a pair of laterally opposed continuously rotatable electrically conductive pivot joints, each of said continuously rotatable electrically conductive pivot joints comprising in combination an electrically conductive pin which protrudes from one of said frame and a said yoke arm, an electrically conductive cup which rotatably supports said pin located in the other of said yoke arm and said frame, an electrical conductor disposed between one of said pin and cup and said illumination source, and an electrical conductor disposed between the other end of said cup and said pin and an output terminal of an electrical power source.
