Patent ID: 6854852

Claim:
A mirror device for providing reflected images having at least two different selectable magnifications, said mirror device comprising: a. at least a first mirror frame retaining therein a pair of first and second mirrors having reflective surfaces of first and second, different magnifications, said mirrors being arranged back-to-back with said reflecting surfaces facing outwards of one another, b. a frame holder, c. holding means for releasably and interchangeably holding said mirror frame in said frame holder with a selected one of said mirrors facing away from said frame holder for viewing images of objects in front of said selected mirror, said holding means comprising in combination, i. a peripheral mirror frame ring which at least partially bounds outer peripheral edges of said first and second mirrors, ii. at least two radially spaced apart frame holder flange walls which protrude forward from a base portion of said frame holder, and iii. releasable engagement means for fixedly and releasably holding said peripheral frame ring fixed with respect to said flange walls, said releasable engagement means comprising in combination at least a first rib member which protrudes radially outwardly from said peripheral frame ring, a retainer lip which protrudes inwardly from an inner axially disposed surface of each of said frame holder flange walls, said lips having inner, longitudinally disposed surfaces which define therebetween an opening having a spacing less than that between longitudinal outer surfaces of opposed portions of said mirror frame rib longitudinally alignable with said flange walls, and means for engaging said flange walls to deflect radially outwardly sufficiently far for said opening therebetween to receive said mirror frame rib, and for deflecting said flange walls radially inwardly in front of said rib to thereby retain said peripheral frame ring in a pocket formed between an outer transverse surface of said frame holder base and rear surfaces of said lips, d. a mounting base for supporting said frame holder, and e. fastener means for releasably attaching said mounting base to a mounting surface.
