c. w. CLOUD BARBERS MIRROR DEVICE Filed April 28, 1928 2 Sheets-Sheet l INVENTOR ATTORNEY Patented Oct. 14, 1930 UNITED TES' CARL W. CLOUD, or BAKER, OREGON BAnnERsaiIn-non DEVICE Application filed April 28,

This invention relates to supporting means for mirrors and is an iinproven'ient upon the supporting means disclosed in my copending application filed September 10, 192?, Serial Like the invention disclosed in the application referred to, the present invention is especially adapted for supporting a mirror or mirrors in such a manner as to enable a person seated in a barbers chair to secure a front, back and side view of his head when his back is reflected in the wall mirror.

Another object of the present invention is the provision of means for rotatably mounting the mirror supporting means so that the mirror or mirrors may be moved int-o and out of position, together with means whereby the mirrors may be independently adjusted for the convenience of the user, or swung upward and held in raised position when not in use.

With. the above and other objects in View, the invention further includes the following novel features and details of construction, to

be hereinafter more fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings and pointed out in the appended claims.

In the drawings 2- Figure 1 is an elevation illustrating the invention.

Figure 2 is a plan view of the same.

Figure 3 is an elevation showing the manner of mounting the mirrors.

Figure d is an eniarged sectional view on the line 4-& of Figure 1, the mirror carry ing bar being shown by dotted lines.

Figure 5 is a fragmentary elevation showing a slightly modified form of the invention.

Referring to the drawings in detail wherein like characters of reference denote corre sponding parts, the invention while capable of many uses is primarily intended for use in connection with a barbers chair and for the purpose of illustration is so shown; The

chair is indicated at C, while the usual cabinet is indicated at W, and the wall mirror at M, the chair, cabinet and mirror M being of any desired type.

In carrying out the invention use is made 53 of a standard 10 which is adapted to be posi- 1928. serial No. 273,617.

tioned in front of a sheif forming a part of the wall fixture. The lower end of this stand ard is rotatably mounted within asocket 11 secured to the floor, while its upper: end is rotatably supported in a bearing sleeve 12 which is carried at the outer end of a telescopically adjustable bracket 13 secured to thew alla 7 Rigid with the standard 10 is the inner end of a horizontally disposed supporting arm 14 whose outer end preferably extends downward as indicated at 15 andcarries an inverted T 16. A brace or hanger rod 17 extends from the upper end ofthe standard lO and is connected to the supporting arm 1%.

Pivotally secured to the T 16 as shown at 18 are the spaced ends of a U-shaped member 19, while swiveled in the base of this member is the upper end of a downwardly extending arm 20. This. last mentioned. arm has securedto and extending from its lower end,a bar or bars :21, the latter being shown as secured in the opposite ends of a T which is connected to the lower end of the arm The bars 21 receive the lower threaded ends of posts 23 which are secured to mirrors 24 arranged upon opposite sides of the arm 20. The lower ends of the posts 23 ex tend through the bars 21 so that the mirrors may be rotatably adjusted with respect to the bars and held in adjusted position by means of thumb screws 25.

Depending from opposite sides of the supporting arm 14: and movable pivotally with respect to this arm are spaced hooks 26. These hooks are arranged to engage the bars 21 when the mirrors 2d are swung upward.

The mirrors may be swung into position in front of the chair C by rotating the standard 10 and the mirrors may be independently adjusted so that the occupant of the chair may view the front, sides and back of his head with'his back to the mirror M Without requiring the barber to hold the members in position. When not in use, the mirrors 24.- may be swung upward in the direction indicated by the arrows in Figure 1 so that the bars -21 may be engaged by the hooks 26 and the mirrors held out of the way. The support may then be swunghorizontally so that the mirrors will he positioned to one side of or between adjacent chairs and supported in an elevated out of the way position.

If desired, the supporting arm 14: may be secured to the inner end of a relatively short arm 27 which is mounted for rotation in telescopically adjustable brackets 28 which are similar to the brackets 13.

A flange 29 is secured to the upper end of the arm 27 so that the latter may be hung for rotary movement within. the sleeves at the outer ends of these brackets with the brackets positioned above the wall fixtures of a barber shop.

In addition to the lower bar 21, it is preferred to employ upper oppositely eXtending bars 30 which extend from opposite sides of the arm 20. The bars 30 are connected with the upper ends of the mirror frames by means of posts 31 which are positioned in a line with the po s and extend through the bars 30 and have mounted thereon thumb nuts 32. This provides a firm support for the mirrors.

The invention is susceptible oi" various changes in its form, proportions and minor details of construction and the right is herein reserved to make such changes as proper ly fall within the scope of the appended claims.

Having described the invention what is claimed is 1. In combination, a horizontally disposed supporting; arm, means connected to the inner end of the arm to support the same for horizontal swinging movement, an arm extending downwardly from the outer end of the horizontal arm, means to mount the downwardly extending arm for upward swinging movement, a horizontalbar supported at the lower end of the downwardly extending arm and capable of independent rotary movement, mirrors carried by the horizontal bar upon opposite sides of the downwardly extending arm, means to hold the downwardly extending arm in raised position to hold the mirrors elevated, means to mount the mirrors for relative pivotal adjustment with respect to the downwardly extending arm.

2. In combination, a horizontally disposed supporting arm, means connected to the inner end of the arm to support the same for horizontal swinging movement, an arm extending downwardly through the outer end of the horizontal arm, a U-shaped member having its base portion rotatably secured to the upper end of the downwardly extending arm and its spaced ends pivotally secured to the outer end of the supporting arm to permit of upward swinging movement of the downwardly extending arm, independently adjustable mirrors supported I upon opposite sides of the downwardly ex- 'arm extending downwardly from the outer end of the horizontal arm and mounted for upward swinging movement, a horizontal bar supported at the lower end of the downwardly extending arm and mounted for in dependent rotary movei'nent, mirrors carried by the horizontal bar upon opposite s-"dtse: of the downwardly extending arm, and means to hold the downwardly attending arm in raised position to hold the mirrors elevated.

In testimony whereof I aflix mv signature.
