IMPROVEMENT IN MIRRORS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. l76,221,dated April 18, 1876; application filed February 14, 1876.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HENRY GOLDBERG, of Herkimer, in the county of Herkimer and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Looking-Glass Reflector, of which the following is a specification The accompanying drawing represents a perspective view of my improved lookingglass reflector.

The present invention relates to improvements in that class of reflectors for lookingglasses by which the back of the body may be seen with great facility, and the reflector adjusted to the position required,'and also entirely placed out of the way.

The invention consists-0t a reflecting mirror, which is suspended from the ceiling of a room by means of straps attached to the sides of the frame, passing over pulleys on the ceiling and attached to a single adj usting-strap, which can be conveniently manipulated by a person standing between an ordinary mirror and the suspended reflecting-mirror.

The adjustment of the reflecting-mirror can be effected without the person changing his position in regard to the mirrors, as the adjusting-strap terminates near the ordinary mirror.

In the drawing, A represents the large or main looking-glass, which is suspended in the usual manner from the wall. A second, smaller, looking-glass or reflector, B, is hung to straps O, that pass through pulleys D of the ceiling, at some distance from the main glass,

the straps C, after having passed through the pulleys, meeting at acentral point, and being attached to a single strap, 0, which is provided with eyelets or holes for securing it to a hook at the side of the main looking-glass A, to adjust thereon the reflector B at any suitable height, as required. The pulleys l) are not placed in a line parallel to the wall, but so that one is somewhat nearer to the Wall than the other, which imparts t0 the lookingglass a lateral inclination toward the main glass, and admits thereby the full View of the back of the body when standing in front of the main glass without being in the way. The straps are attached to the screw-eyes of the reflector, and hold the same at a certain inclination to produce, with the lateral inclina tion of the same, the convenient useof the reflee-tor, and the full view of the back of the body.

After use, the reflector is carried up to the ceiling to be out of the way, being at any moment adjusted for use.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The combination of the mirror B, suspension-straps O O, adjusting-strap O, and the pulleys D I), attached to the ceiling of a room, as and for the purpose set forth.
