7 (ModeL) J. HOLLELY. Toilet Mirror.
No. 236,704; Patented Jan. 18, 1881.

JOSEPH HOLLELY, OF BROOKLYN, NEW YORK.
TOILET-MIRROR.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 236,704, dated January 18, 1881. Application filed September 9, 1880. (ModeL) To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, JOSEPH HOLLELY, of Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented an Improved Toilet- Mirror; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full and exact description thereof, reference being had to theaccompanying drawings, making part of this specification Figure 1 being a back view of the mirror; Fig. 2, a central section thereof in a planeindicated by the line mm, Fig. l; Figs.3, 4, and 5, views of parts thereof, detached; Fig. 6, a partial View of the back of the mirror, beneath the handle.
Like letters designate corresponding parts in all the figures.
My invention consists in certain features of construction by which the mirror-handle may be securely retained in an outwardly-turned position for use, or turned behind the mirror for compactness in carrying, and be firmly held in each position accurately without the employment of any locking device, all as hereinafter set forth.
The body of the mirror, as represented in the drawings, has the glass or mirror proper, A, held in a metallic border, B, of sheet metal, which is bent back around the pasteboard or other back, 0, as at a in the drawings. There is or may be a middle or packing sheet, I), of pasteboard or other suitable material, of vary in g thickness, if necessary or desired to compensate for variable thicknesses of the glass. Though the above-described construction of the mirror-body is very suitable to the application of my improved construction and arrangement of the handle applied thereto, various other constructions of mirrors may be used with my said improvements.
The handle E is of peculiar construction, being formed of one piece of wire bent into the form substantially as shown in Fig. 3, the inner end thereof, where the ends of the wire nearly meet, being bent about in the form of the arc of a circle. For attaching this handle to the back 0 of the mirror I form a circular cap, G, Fig. 4, of. sheet metal, and shape itso that its edges will fit overand partially inclose or embrace the curved ends of the handle, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2; and in connection with this cap-piece I use a counter clamp-piece, H,
of sheet metal, which fits between the back 0 and the mirror A, and is provided with a screw-threaded hole, I), Fig. 5, to receive the end of a screw, 0, which is inserted through a hole, (I, in the middle of the cap-piece G, Fig. 4, that composes the outer part of the handleclamp, and a hole, f,in the back 0, and screwed into the inner clamp-piece, H, above described.
The outer clamp plate, G, is made somewhat elastic, so that by turning the said screw in a little farther at any time the handle is further tightened against the mirror-body.
With the construction and mode of attaching the mirror-handle above specified, the said handle may be turned in under or back of the mirror-body, as shown by dotted lines in Fig. 1, making the mirror very compact for carryin g or packing.
A still further improvement consists in the construction of a stop, whereby the handle is allowed to turn only in one direction, and half a circle, or thereabout, but not in the opposite direction, so that the stop retains the handle in the proper radial positions when turned out or in. I form this double stop, first, by turning in, with a die or other means, one end, 9, of the wire forming the handle, to he in the path of a smaller circle than the curved parts under the rim of the cap G; second, by turning upward the two ends h i, or two equivalent projections ot' the under clamp-piece, H, so as to reach out through and a little beyond the back 0 of the mirror, and be in position for the projection g of the handle to strike one or the other whenever the said handle is turned out or in. The position of the parts 9 and h iis shown in Fig. 6. When the handle is turned out for use, as shown in the figure, the stop 9 of the same strikes the projection h, as represented; but when the handle is turned inward its stop 9 strikes the projection i. This construction not only renders the mirror very convenient for carrying and packing, but the mirror is thereby made quite cheaply and ot'handsome appearance, efficient and durable in use, and easy to adjust.
\Vhat I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
1. A toilet-mirror provided with a handle, E, pivoted to the back thereof, near one edge, and with an elastic clamp, G, and its fastenstantially as and for the purpose herein specified.
4.. The combination of the handle E, mirrorback 0, elastic cap Gr, inner clamp-piece, H, having projections h t', and the tighteningscrew 0, substantially as and for the purpose herein specified.
The foregoing specification signed by me this 13th day of July, 1880.
JOSEPH HOLLELY.
