- VISUALIZING DEVICE.

Application m Kay 5, 1925. Serial m. 28,174.

Our invention relates to improvements in v suahzlng devices, the ob ects of WhlCh "are to provlde means whereby an article Intended for personal wearmay be visual- I ized in the desired position upon the per-.

son in the reflected image of the wearer,

such as for instance a person being fitted with false teeeth, such teeth may well selected by viewingl them in proper position I of the mouth in t e reflected image of the wearer, and in a like manner a tie or as will be more fully described in the following s ecification'm which Fi 1 1s a sectional view of the invention showing its application for dental use.

Fig. 2 is an-elevation. Fig. 3 is an elevation of the device as adapted to another use. p

In the drawings like characters. of referznce indicate corresponding partsin each so r ii numerall indicates generally a mir- @1'or in which 2 is the glass, 3 is the silvered rear surface and i an aperture therein, which is shaped to conform substan'tiall to a portion of the mouth when open. cured II atthe rear of .the mirror and registering. with the aperture 4:.is an open ended tube 5 which is flared outwardly to the rear so that its inner surfaces are not visible to the e 0 when the device is, in use. At-

' tache to the u per and lower sides respectivel of thetu are slides or ctligs of any suita lei type which are -indica b ,4 the numerals'fi and 7, inwhich a strip 0 wax '1 8 having one "or more sample teeth 9 mounted upon it or a sample plate, are held.

'. The clip 6 be' used for displaymg upper dental work an the clip 7 for lower dental work.

In Figure 3 the mirror is shown with an elongated aperture 10 throu h surface to conform to the iape of a tie, so that a fabric may be dis layed therethrough to represent a tie 0 that fabric,

Having thus described the several parts of our invention we will now briefly explain its use.

When it is desired to-fit a patient with lower teeth, samples of teeth approximating the natural teeth and suitably mounted upon a strip of wax 8 are held in position b clip 7 of the tube 5, the patient then holds the mirror 1 in the approximate position shown in solid lines in Figure '1 while looking through the-tube at the artificial teeth and at the same time holding his mouth 0 en, 66

he then tilts the mirror until the arti cial teeth assume the relative position in the re flection on the mirror as they would occupy in his mouth. When this position is reached, the upper border of the aperture 4 is low 70 enough to reflect the patients natural u per teeth in the mirror, so that the mate mg of the artificial with the natural teeth can be effectively performed. If artificial teeth are to be shown in the upper jaw the selection is fitted in the clip 6 and the mirror and is held in a position a proximating that shown in dotted line In Figure 1 What we claim as-our invention is:.

'1. A visualizing device comprising a reflecting surface having an aperture a proximating the outline of an article a apted for personal wear to be displayed and means for supporting the article whereby the arti- 35 cle appears in its appointed position-on the image of the Person as reflected upon the reflecting surface.

2. A visualizing device comprising a reflectin surface having anaperture 9. tube exten mg rearwardly from t e surface and of a size terthan said aperture, and means at t e outer end of the tube for supporting an article adapted for personal wear whereby the article appears on the image of the teen as reflected upon the reflecting sur ace.
