To all whom it may concern.- i

' Be it known that I, EDWARD H. ROY a citizen of the United States, residing at Nashville, in the county of Davidson and State of Tennessee have invented certain new and useful improvements in Head Hand-Mirrors, of whichthe following is a specification.

This invention relates to hand mirrors and has as its primary object to provide a hand mirror by the use of which one may obtain a view of those portions of his head which cannot beviewed by looking directly into a single mirror, and more particularly the back and top of the head.

Another object of the invention is to provide a hand mirror which may be conveniently held so that the-user may view any portion of the back or top of his head without being required to'turn his head to any inconvenientor uncomfortable position and without being required to shift his line of vision so as to cause discomfort tothe eyes.

In the accompanying drawing:

Figure 1 is a view in side elevation of the mirror embodying the present invention, the view illustrating the manner in which the mirror is to be used; l

Fig. 2 is a plan view of the mirror in use.

The device embodying the invention comprises a handle or hand grip 1 of any suitable construction and fixed to the upper end of this handle is the intermediate portion of a supporting member which is indicated in general by the numeral 2. This supporting member comprises arms 3 which extend gen: erally in opposite directions from the upper end of the handle 1 and the said member is preferably in the nature of a bar "or rod of metal bent-to bowed form throughout the greater portion of itslength as indicated by the numeral and having its terminal portions bent to extend upward as indicated by the numeral 5, the member 2 except for its said terminal portions 5, occupying, in use,

substantially a horizontal plane as will be evident by reference to Fig. 1 of the drawmgs.

ment being such that the planes occupied b Upon the upper end of each terminal porfor use as'in Figs. 1 and 2 of the drawing.

The angleof inclination'of the mirrors may be varied from that shown in the drawin and in fact, if desired, the mirrors 6 and 7 may be supported for rotative adjustment upon the respective terminal portions 5 of the supporting bar although it usually will suffice if the mirrors are fixed at predetermined angles considered to be the best. for the most convenient and effective use of the device.

The manner of using the device is clearly illustrated in the drawings and from the drawings it will be understood that the device is to be supported by grasping the handle 1 in either hand and supporting the device so that the portion 4 will bow outward from the neck of the user. port 2 is of such length that the mirrors 6 and 7 will be so spaced that when the device is properly supported one mirror, as for exat the left side of the user, will be located a suitable distance in front of the users face and the other mirror 7 will be located a suitable distance rearwardly of the back of his head. Of course, when the device is held at the right side of the user the mirror 7 will be in front of the face and the mirror 6 back of the head. In any event the device as a whole maybe movedin an are about the head and caused to assume various The supample the mirror 6, when the device is held a positions so as to enable the user to view of his face and the other in proper position above the head. By providing the bowed portion 4, the supporting bar 2 may stand relatively close to the neck of the user of the device and thus a wide range of adjustment of the mirrors with regard to the face and back ofthe head of the user may be obtained and the usefulness of the device greatly enhanced. It will be understood, of course, that the mirrors may be of any desired type and, of course, of any desired shape and size.

Having thus described the invention, What 1S claimed as new is:

In a duplicate mirror, a supporting barshoulder of the user, the bar being bowed" outward between its ends, and mirrors carried by said ends and standing in planes obliqueto-the length of the bar and eon- 10 verging outward toward each other.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature.

EDWARD H. ROY. [1 s.]
