sides and the front of his or her foot sothat the appearance of the shoe may be noted after being tried on.

and mount the mirrors that when notin use they may be disposed in position outof the to be protected against breakage.

A further Ob ect of the inventionis to so' mount that mirror which reflects the front of the shoe that it may be'tilted to different angles to enable-the customer to note the appearanceof the front'of the shoe as f looln'ng down upon it'from differentangles.

For a full understanding of the'invention reference is to be had to the-following-description and which v Figure 1 is a View of the stool substantially in top plan looking directly at the foot-rest of the stool; Fig. 2 is a side eleva- "accompanying drawing,

tion of the'stool. Fig. 3 is a bottom plan view thereof Fig. 4 is a vertical transverse sectional View on the line 4.4: of Fig. 2. Fig. 5 is a vertical sectional View on'the line 5 5 of Fig. 3. 1

Corresponding and like parts are'referred to in the following description and indicated in all the viewsof the accompanying drawing by the same reference characters.

' In the drawings, the stool: isv illustrated as including, inits structure, a body in the nature of a substantially rectangular frame, the sides of which are indicated by the numeral 1, the rear end by the numeral the front by the numeral '3.

By referring to Fig. 2 of the drawings, it

will be noted that the sides 1 of the frame:

are, inclined downwardly from a'point near their rear ends so that the front3 is located in a lower plane than the back 2. The bodyframe 1 is supported at its rear corners by legs 4: and at its front corners by legs'5. The seat for the shoe-salesman is indicated explained. I 4 Fora purpose to be presently explained, a

strip 10 is secured to the under side of the foot-rest at each lateral edge' thereof and 2, and

by the numeral 6 and is supported upongthe back 2 0f the body-frame and theadjacent portions'0f the'sides 1 thereoflf The footrest of the stool consistsof a board-7 which is secured and supported at-its upper portion upon brackets 8 which are in turn secured to the sides 1' of the body-frame and to which the forward portion of the seat 6- inner face of the body frame and having at its ends the laterally directed extensions 8 and 9 whichproject at right angles to the An object of the invention is to so arrange 1 inclined plane between the sides 1 of the 1 frame and has its lateral edges spacedfrom the said sides soas to accommodate the side nurrors,-1n a manner which will-be presently projects partway across the space between thesaid edge and'the adjacent side 1 of the body-frame of the stool,' and-it will be"ob-' served-fromoFig. 1 of the drawings that each lateral edgeof the foot-restis inwardly beveled as at 11. w

Each of the side mirrors isindicated by the numeral 12 and is arrangedwithin aback 13 which is preferably of sheet-metal andof substantially oblong form as shown in Figs.

posed between the edges of the foot-rest 7 and'the sides 1 10f theframe of the V 1 and 2 of the drawings. The material of stock-and when the 'mirrors arenot in I use the hooksla engage over the said sides 1 and's upport the'mirrors as shown in F 2 with their backs outermost. In this manner, the mirrors themselvesare'protect-j ed againstbreakage. When it'is desired to so dispose the mirrors that the customer may view his or her foot therein, they are liftedthrough the space between the foot rest and the sides ofthe frame and'are tilted to assume about the position shown at-the right of Fig.4. 'When in such position,the

lower edges of the mirrors will rest upon the Projecting P tions of the respective strips 10 and their baclrswill rest against the upper edges of the sides of the frame. In

order to prevent complete withdrawal of either mirror from position between the foot-rest and sides of the: frame, eaclr mir ror is provided at each lower'corner with a projecting stud 15 designed to engage with a pin 16 which extends acrossrthe-said space, and vbeing secured inthesfoot-rest and the sidesof the frame.

Thatmi'rror in whichthefront ofthe shoe;

is refiected is indicated by thenumeral 17 and is mounted: in a-. suitable backing 18 as in the caseofthe mirrors 12. Springs-l9 aresecured at-their for-ward ends to the under side of the foot -rest? as at 20 and: arecoiled as 21 and. are'thence extended rear-Wardly and ar-e pivotally connected with the lower .fWhen it is desired to'make use of this mi-rror1-7 itgistilted;forwardly so as to disengage its lug 23i from=the-under side of the seat;=6;;. whereuponthe springs 19 will act to slide themirror up; between the forward edge of theseat andthe'rearedge of the foot-rest? The u-pward movement of the mirror 17 is limited by the engagement of the springs #19; against the underside of the foot-rest 7 and by reason of the fact that the mirrr has. pivotal connection with the rear ends. ofthese .sp rings which may be tilted; to assume p'osi-tions at difi'e'r'entangles so that thecu'stoiner may note itheappearanc'e" of'th'e shoe front differfent view points.
