To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ROBERT L. 'IUTTLE, a

citizen of the United States, residing at St.

Charles, in the county of St. Charles and State of Missouri, have invented a new and tion and arrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafter described and claimed, it being understood that changes in the precise embodiment of the invention herein disclosed can be made within the scope of what is claimed, without departing from the spirit of the invention. I

In the accompanying drawings Figure 1 shows in elevation, a device constructed in accordance with the present invention;

Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional detail showing the means whereby the mirror is immediately supported for vertical sliding movement; I

Fig. 3 is a section taken approximately on the line 33 of Fig. 2;

Fig. 4 is a section taken approximately on the line 44 of Fig. 2; and

Fig. 5 is a fragmental side elevation show ing a portion of the rider and. the spring which is assembled therewith.

the present invention In carrying out base 1 which may inthere is provided a elude a platform 2 and legs 3. Fixed to and upstanding from the-platform 2 is a stand-i ard 4 which may be surmounted by a cap 5.

The standard 4 is of tubular form and'is provided with a rectangular bore 6, and with alongitudinal slot 7 opening into the bore 6. the slot 7 preferably being coextensive in length with the standard 4.v

' A rider 8, preferably taking the form of ablock, is mounted to reciprocate vertically in the bore 6 but is held against rotation therein. The rider 8 is provided in one side with recesses 9 across which extend shafts 10, wheels 11 being journaled on the 10. In its opposite side, the rider 8 is supplied with a longitudinal recess 14. Mount.- edin the recess 14 is a spring strip 15, held to the rider 8 by securing elements 16. The

springstrip l5 terminates in a curved head l7 bearing against one side of'the bore 6 of the standard 4,-thewheels 11 bearing against the opposite side of the bore of the stand-- ard, and the recess 1.4 being enlarged laterally at one end' as shown at 18,.to facilitate the resilient action of the head 17 of the spring 15. Ordinarily, the spring 15'outstands from the rider 8, as shown in Fig. 5, butwhcn the rider is in the bore 6 of the standard 4, then the spring 15 .is com pressed as shown in Fig. ,4. It will be obvious from the foregoing that the spring constitutes a means whereby the rider 8 may be held in vertically adjusted-positions in the bore 6 of the standard 4, the Wheels 11 facilitating a vertical adjustment of the rider. i

' An arm 20 is insertedat one end into the rider 8 intermediate the ends of ther-ider, and is heldin place by a securing element] 21. The arm 20- slides in the slot 7 ofthe standard4 and terminates in an enlarged head 22 through which is passed a shaft 23, By means-.of'clips 24, the ends of the shaft 23 are attached toithe rear side'of a l.

swungyin the direction of the arrows A of Fig. 2. By means of the arm 20, the rider .8, and the mirror 25, may be raised and lowered, the wheels 11 facilitating a raising I and lowering ofthe rider, and the spring strip 15 serving to hold the 'rider in any position to which it may have been adjusted vertically, within the rectangular bore fGof the standard 4. p 1 H r 7 Having' thus described the invention, what is claimed is In a device of the class described, a tubuion lar standard provided with a. bore and hav- I ing a longitudinal'slot communicating with the bore; means for holding'the standard in an upright position; a rider mounted tore ciprocate in the bore; a Wheel carried'by one side of the rider and coacting with one all of the bore; a spring carried by the g other side of the rider andcoactingwith the as my 0WI1,;I have hereto aflixed my signa opposite Wall of the bore to hold the rider" ture in the presence of two WitllGSSBSQ in adjusted positions lon itudinally of the t standard; an arm carriedby the rider and t ROBERT TUTTLE' 5 projecting outwardly through the slot; and Witnesses:

a mirror assembled With the arm. ARTHUR A. BEGKERLE,

In testimony that I claim the foregoing W. F. BLOEBAUM.
