Definitions

  • the present patent application relates to a mirror with variable surface.
  • the invention for which no direct precedents are known, has been devised in order to make the best use of space in apartments.
  • the specific purpose of the present invention is to realize a mirror with variable geometry capable of adjusting the extension of its reflecting surface to the user's specific requirements.
  • Such a mirror can be normally maintained in compact position to use it as an ordinary bathroom or toilet mirror, thus limiting its overall volume.
  • the volume of the mirror of the invention is considerably increased.
  • its variable geometry allows users to bring it back to its compact condition as soon as they no longer need to use it in extended condition.
  • the mirror of the invention is formed of a plurality of panels with mirrored glass on each side; it being also provided that such double-mirrored panels are mutually hinged on their adjacent edges.
  • each of said panels can rotate relative to the immediately adjacent panel, in such manner to go from a position wherein it is exactly joined with the adjacent panel to a position wherein it is brought on the side of or under the adjacent panel.
  • the main bearing element of the mirror of the invention (S) consists in a first mirrored panel (1) with rectangular shape adapted to be fixed to a vertical wall.
  • such first panel (1) has a bearing structure able to support a mirrored glass portion in frontal position; according to the embodiment of the invention shown in the enclosed figures, said bearing structure consists in a frame (C) that surrounds a mirrored glass portion.
  • a second mirrored panel (2) and a third mirrored panel (3) are respectively hinged on the two sides of said first mirrored panel (1), being free to rotate by an angle of 180°; it being provided that said two additional panels (2, 3) support mirrored glass on both sides.
  • the second mirrored panel (2) is hinged on the first vertical edge (1a) of the first mirrored panel (1), whereas the third mirrored panel (3) is hinged on the second vertical edge (1b) of the same.
  • the two panels (2, 3) have exactly the same height as the first panel (1) and exactly half of its length.
  • a fourth mirrored panel (4) and a fifth mirrored panel (5) are respectively hinged on the lower horizontal edges (2a, 3a) of said second panel (2) and third panel (3), being free to rotate by an angle of 180°; it being provided that also said two additional panels (4, 5) support mirrored glass on both sides.
  • the fourth mirrored panel (4) and the fifth mirrored panel (5) have exactly the same dimensions as said second panel (2) and third panel (3).
  • Said second (2), third (3), fourth (4) and fifth panel (5) are practically formed of a bearing structure adapted to support said opposite pairs of mirrored glass.
  • such a support structure consists in a frame (C) adapted to exactly house a opposite pair of mirrored glass.
  • FIG. 1 wherein the mirror (S) is shown in compact condition.
  • the second mirrored panel (2) and the third mirrored panel (3) are in contact with the front side of said first mirrored panel (1); likewise, the fourth mirrored panel (4) is in contact with the back side of the second mirrored panel (2) and the fifth mirrored panel (5) is in contact with the back side of the third mirrored panel (3).
  • the five mirrored panels (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) form a "compact package", entirely contained in the surface of the first mirrored panel (1), which acts as bearing element for the other four panels (2, 3, 4, 5), being fixed to the wall.
  • the mirror (S) can be in any case used as bathroom, toilet or bedroom mirror, reflecting the image of users in half length size.
  • Fig. 2 shows the mirror (S) of the invention during its first transformation phase, when its surface is widened in horizontal direction.
  • Fig. 3 shows the mirror (S) of the invention during its second transformation phase, when the mirrored surface is extended also in vertical direction, from up down.
  • Such an extension is obtained by imposing a rotation from up down to said fourth mirrored panel (4) and fifth mirrored panel (5), respectively relative to the lower horizontal edge (2a) of the second mirrored panel (2) and the lower horizontal edge (3a) of the third mirrored panel (3).
  • the total vertically extended surface of the second mirrored panel (2) and the total surface of the fourth mirrored panel (4) can be used to reflect the user's entire image, basically from head to feet.
  • Fig. 4 shows an alternative embodiment of the mirror (S) of the invention, the peculiarity of which is that the first mirrored panel (1) is provided with boxed structure.
  • the frame (C) is limited by a first vertical side (10a) and a second vertical side (10b), as well as a lower horizontal shelf (11a) and an upper horizontal shelf (11b); it being provided that said sides (10a, 10b) and said shelves (11 a, 11b) create a compartment (V) protruding on the front of said first mirrored panel (1).
  • said second mirrored panel (2) and third mirrored panel (3) are respectively hinged on the front edges (10a', 10b') of said first and second side (10a, 10b).
  • said second mirrored panel (2) and third mirrored panel (3) are not directly in contact with the first mirrored panel (1), being aligned in correspondence of the opening of said compartment (V).
  • a plurality of magnets (6) is provided in corresponding positions between the various panels adapted to be mutually interfaced.
  • each panel can be simply composed of a board adapted to support mirrored glass on the front side alone - in case it must be provided in said first panel (1) - or on both sides.
  • said mirrored glass is preferably provided with a surface that corresponds exactly to the one of the bearing boards, in such manner that said boards are completed concealed to users positioned in front of the mirror (S) of the invention.
